22. 2Mg H's indicates their stereochemistries to have a lifetime >0.002 s, setting an upper limit to the rate of any process that inverts the α-C of hexyl and hence exchanges these H's.
23. 2Mg.
24. 2Mg alone were stable.
25. 2Mg-KOMe ratio is low, the positions of the two TMEDA absorptions are reversed compared to those of free TMEDA. The absorptions approach one another as the ratio increases, coincide at a ratio of ca. 2, and approach those of free TMEDA at higher ratios.
26. 2Mg-KOR' preparations. Separation was sometimes not observed until after a sample had been sealed in an NMR tube, a procedure that involved submerging in liquid nitrogen, sealing, and then warming the NMR tube to ambient temperature.
27. This does not rule out exchange of sec-butyl groups, since exchange of RMg groups can be much faster than inversion. House, H. O.; Latham, R. A.; Whitesides, G. M. J. Org. Chem. 1967, 32, 2481.

29. 2Mg led to precipitation. The only NMR absorptions were for traces of butane.

33. 4NBr preparations having much lower concentration levels exhibited more than one set of absorptions and may have been homogeneous. Such preparations may merit further investigation.

40. Analysis of a hydrolyzed portion of a similar reaction in diethyl ether also found total base: Mg:K to be ca. 3:1:1.
41. 3MgK solutions to which TMEDA was added had only single sets of hexyl absorptions.
42. 2Mg reactions also show only a single set of absorptions.
