Product Overview
tert-Butylmagnesium chloride, supplied as a 1.7M solution in diethyl ether under the AcroSeal® brand, is a highly reactive Grignard reagent designed for precision in organic synthesis. The solution is packaged in moisture-resistant AcroSeal® bottles to prevent degradation from atmospheric exposure, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive reactions. This organomagnesium compound is particularly valued for its ability to introduce tert-butyl groups into molecular structures, facilitating the creation of complex intermediates in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical research. The ether solvent enhances solubility and reactivity while maintaining stability during storage when handled under inert conditions. Ideal for laboratories requiring high-purity reagents, this product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet analytical standards, with lot-specific certificates of analysis provided for traceability. The sealed packaging system minimizes risk of contamination, making it suitable for long-term storage when stored at recommended temperatures (typically 2–8°C). Compatibility with standard glassware and inert gas techniques further simplifies integration into existing workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of tert-Butylmagnesium chloride 1.7M in ether?
The shelf life is typically 12–24 months when stored unopened at 2–8°C under inert conditions. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
2. Can this reagent be used with standard Schlenk line techniques?
Yes, the solution is compatible with Schlenk line or glove box techniques due to its air/moisture-sensitive nature. Transfer under nitrogen or argon is recommended.
3. Are there alternatives to diethyl ether as a solvent for this Grignard reagent?
While diethyl ether is standard, THF (tetrahydrofuran) is a common alternative solvent for Grignard reagents, though reactivity may vary.
4. How should I dispose of unused tert-Butylmagnesium chloride solution?
Neutralize carefully with isopropanol or a dilute acid solution in a fume hood, then dispose of as hazardous chemical waste per local regulations.
5. Does the AcroSeal® packaging require special tools to open?
The AcroSeal® bottles feature a screw cap with a PTFE-lined septum, designed for easy piercing with a syringe needle without additional tools.
