Abstract: In a method for purifying a fluoroaryl metal compound of the present invention, magnesium halide is precipitated and removed from a solution containing the fluoroaryl metal compound, the magnesium halide, and an ether solvent. Or, the magnesium halide is removed by treating the solution with an acid. Examples of the method include: a method in which a solvent which has a boiling point higher than that of the ether solvent contained in the solution and which does not dissolve the magnesium halide is heated to a temperature higher than the boiling point of the ether solvent, then the ether solvent is distilled out with the solution being added to the solvent; and a method in which the solution and an aqueous solution containing an acid are mixed and stirred, then allowed to stand so as to be separated into an organic layer containing the fluoroaryl metal compound and an aqueous layer containing the magnesium halide and the acid.

Abstract: A method for easily and inexpensively producing and purifying a fluoroaryl metal compound such as bis(pentafluorophenyl)dialkyltin which is less colored and has no impurities is provided. Hydrocarbon magnesium halide is reacted with fluoroaryl halide in a solvent including an ether solvent so as to obtain fluoroaryl magnesium halide, which is then reacted with an organic metal compound so as to produce a fluoroaryl metal compound. Tin is more preferable as a metal atom included in the organic metal compound. As for the ether solvent, chain ether solvents are preferable, more specifically, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, and t-butylmethyl ether are more preferable. Besides, it is preferable that magnesium halide, which is a by-product of the fluoroaryl metal compound, is precipitated and removed, or treated with an acid.

Abstract: The magnesium complexes of cyclic hydrocarbons and conjugated dienes, such as 1,2-dimethylenecycloalkanes and 1,3-butadienes, are readily prepared in high yields using highly reactive magnesium. Reactions of these (2-butene-1,4-diyl)magnesium reagents with electrophiles such as dibromoalkanes, alkylditosylates, alkylditriflates, bromoalkylnitriles, esters, or amides serve as a convenient method for synthesizing carbocyclic systems. Significantly, carbocycles prepared by this method contain functional groups such as the exocyclic double bond or a keto group in one of the rings which could be used for further elaboration of these molecules. Furthermore, fused bicyclic systems containing a substituted five-membered ring can be conveniently prepared at high temperatures by the reactions of (2-butene-1,4-diyl)magnesium complexes with carboxylic esters or acid halides whereas low temperatures lead to regioselective synthesis of .beta.,.gamma.-unsaturated ketones. Additionally, .gamma.-lactones, including spiro .
