By refluxing bromo benzene and magnesium, reaction takes place to form phenylmagnesium bromide, di phenyl and terphenyl. The yield of phenyl magnesium bromide was found to be 24-30 %. 2. The quantity of di phenyl formed is several times the runount formed when ether is used as a solvent. 3. Terphenyl was isolated from this reaction.[2], 33 leavesapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1941.M545Grignard reagentsThesis
