Product Overview
Vinylmagnesium bromide (0.7M solution in THF) is a highly reactive Grignard reagent designed for precise organic synthesis applications. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures maximum purity and stability by minimizing exposure to air and moisture, which are critical for maintaining the reagent’s reactivity. This solution is prepared in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF), a solvent that enhances the reagent’s solubility and reactivity in vinyl addition reactions. The 0.7M concentration provides an optimal balance between reactivity and ease of handling, making it suitable for both small-scale and larger synthetic procedures. The reagent is particularly valued for its ability to form carbon-carbon bonds, a fundamental step in constructing complex organic molecules. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistency in performance, with minimal impurities that could interfere with reaction outcomes. The solution’s stability is further supported by the AcroSeal® technology, which uses a specialized septum to prevent contamination during storage and dispensing. This product is an essential component in laboratories focusing on advanced organic chemistry, where precise control over reaction conditions is paramount.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of Vinylmagnesium bromide solution?
The solution remains stable for 12-18 months when stored unopened under recommended conditions, though reactivity may gradually decrease after opening due to exposure to air and moisture.
2. Can this reagent be used directly in aqueous reaction systems?
No, Vinylmagnesium bromide is highly moisture-sensitive and will decompose rapidly in the presence of water, making it unsuitable for aqueous systems without proper protection.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this solution?
Always use under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen/argon) with dry glassware, and wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles to prevent contact with skin or eyes.
4. How does the AcroSeal® packaging improve reagent quality?
The AcroSeal® system uses a specialized septum that minimizes air and moisture ingress, preserving the reagent’s reactivity and extending its usable lifespan compared to traditional packaging.
5. What alternatives exist for vinyl addition reactions if this reagent is unavailable?
Vinyl lithium or vinylzinc reagents can serve as alternatives, though their reactivity profiles and handling requirements differ significantly from Grignard reagents.
