26. Addition of a related Grignard reagent to epoxides has been shown to produce pyrans. However, this reagent is prepared in two steps in modest yield. Moreover, the Grignard formation was found to be highly prone to Wurtz coupling in our hands, van der Louw, J.; van der Baan, J. L.; Out, G. J. J.; de Kanter, F. J. J.; Bickelhaupt, F.; Klumpp, G. W.
