Claims
- 1. A hydrocarbon soluble organomagnesium complex having the formula
- (R'.sub.2 Mg).sub.m.(RM).sub.n
- wherein RM is an organozinc compound selected from the group consisting of dialkylzincs, alkylzinc halides, or mixtures thereof, the alkyl portion of which R represents a primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl group, R' is selected from the group consisting of primary alkyl containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and phenyl and mixtures thereof, and m and n are numbers such that the ratio of m/n is from 1 to 20.
- 2. The complex of claim 1 wherein the ratio of m/n is from about 1 to about 10.
- 3. The complex of claim 1 wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, and n-amyl.
- 4. The complex of claim 1 where R is selected from C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl.
- 5. An organomagnesium complex solution comprising:
- (a) hydrocarbon solvent and dissolved therein
- (b) a complex having the formula:
- (R'.sub.2 Mg).sub.m.(RM).sub.n
- wherein RM is an organozinc compound selected from the group consisting of dialkylzincs, alkylzinc halides, or mixtures thereof, the alkyl portion of which R represents a primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl group, R' is selected from the group consisting of primary alkyl containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and phenyl and mixtures thereof, and m and n are numbers such that the ratio of m/n is from 1 to 20.
- 6. The complex of claim 3 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, and R is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl and n-amyl.
- 7. The complex of claim 6 wherein the hydrocarbon is selected from the group consisting of cyclohexane, n-hexane, n-heptane and benzene.
- 8. The complex of claim 1 wherein R' is n-butyl.
- 9. The complex of claim 1 wherein R' is n-butyl and RM is diethyl zinc.
- 10. The complex of claim 1 wherein R' is n-butyl and RM is di-isobutyl zinc.
- 11. The solution of claim 5 wherein R' is n-butyl.
- 12. The solution of claim 5 wherein R' is n-butyl and RM is diethyl zinc.
- 13. The solution of claim 5 wherein R' is n-butyl and RM is di-isobutyl zinc.
