Abstract
The benzotrihalides (PhCX 3) where X = Cl, Br, and F were allowed to react with magnesium in THF at room temperature. When the halide was chloride or bromide, the trihalide gave diphenylacetylene in high yield in addition to several minor products which were identified. No reaction was observed when the halide was fluoride. When the corresponding dichloride was allowed to react with magnesium in THF, stilbene was formed as the major product. The possible mechanisms for these reactions are discussed.
