Abstract
Dipotassium polyoxaalkane‐α,ω‐diolates (1–5) and ethylene were found to be formed in the decomposition reaction of solutions of 18‐crown‐6 in tetrahydrofuran containing dissolved potassium. A mechanism of that decomposition process due to the action of the potassium anion is proposed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
