Procedure

20 ml of ethyl ether and 0.2 ml of α-chloro-orthoxylene were added under nitrogen with stirring to 5.5 g of magnesium turnings and then over an hour, a solution of 32 ml of α-chloro-orthoxylene in 250 ml of ether was added dropwise so as to maintain the temperature at 35° C. After stirring for an hour, a solution of 0.5 M/l of α-chloro-orthoxylene magnesium was obtained.
