Note to the Synthesis of ω‐Phenylalkyl Derivatives by Addition of Benzylmercury Salts to Alkenes While reaction of benzylmercury acetate and NaBH 4 with electrophilic ethyl acrylate gives the addition product 4‐phenylbutyric acid ester, the reaction with less electrophilic styrene and allylbenzene affords the expected addition products in moderate yields only by use of pyridine as solvent and addition of di‐2‐pyridylamine as a complexing reagent.
