The ability of the -CH functionality in a butylmagnesium cation [Me6TREN-Mg-n-Bu](+) to quantitatively reduce benzophenone has been demonstrated. The hydridic nature of the -CH functionality is highlighted by its abstraction using B(C6F5)(3). -CH abstraction over alkylation in [Me6TREN-Mg-n-Bu](+) is dependent on the nature of the incoming electrophile and the polarity of the solvent.
