Equilibrium of Grignard reagents

Analytical RISM-MP2 free energy gradient method Application to the Schlenk equilibrium of Grignard reagent ... 

The foregoing redistribution reactions are, evidently, significantly slower than those involved in the Schlenk equilibrium of Grignard reagents. Consequently, a mixture of the alkyl derivatives [Tp ]MgCH3 and [Tp -]MgC(CH3)3 does not result in the formation of crossover products after heating at 80 C for 3 days [Eq. (5)].

Another factor which affects the stereospecificity of the polymerization is Schlenk equilibrium of Grignard reagent 2 RMgX - R2Mg + MgBi 2.
