Product Name – Pentylmagnesium bromide, 2M solution in diethyl ether, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML, 800ML Form – Liquid (solution in diethyl ether) Grade – Synthesis grade Application – Organic synthesis, carbon-carbon bond formation
Product Overview
Pentylmagnesium bromide is a 2M solution in diethyl ether, packaged under the AcroSeal® system to ensure maximum purity and stability. This Grignard reagent is a highly reactive organomagnesium compound widely used in organic synthesis for carbon-carbon bond formation. The solution is stabilized in anhydrous diethyl ether, a common solvent for Grignard reagents, which maintains its reactivity while minimizing side reactions. The AcroSeal® packaging provides an air-tight seal, preventing moisture contamination and degradation, which is critical for maintaining the reagent’s efficacy. The 2M concentration offers a balance between reactivity and ease of handling, making it suitable for various laboratory applications. As a synthesis-grade reagent, it meets stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent performance in chemical reactions. The solution is compatible with standard glassware and can be used under inert atmospheres for optimal results. Proper storage under dry, cool conditions is recommended to preserve its reactivity over time.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Pentylmagnesium bromide 2M solution?
The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened under recommended conditions. Once opened, use within 6 months for best results.
2. Can this reagent be used with other solvents besides diethyl ether?
While it is supplied in diethyl ether, it can be compatible with other anhydrous solvents like THF under controlled conditions. Always verify compatibility before use.
3. How should I store this solution to maintain its reactivity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere, preferably in a cool, dry place away from moisture and ignition sources.
4. Is this reagent suitable for air-sensitive reactions?
Yes, the AcroSeal® packaging minimizes air exposure, but additional precautions like working under nitrogen or argon are recommended for air-sensitive applications.
5. What are the safety precautions for handling this solution?
Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, and handle in a fume hood due to its flammable and reactive nature. Avoid contact with water or moisture.
