Product Overview

1-Methyl-1-propenylmagnesium bromide is a specialized Grignard reagent supplied as a 0.5M solution in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) under the AcroSeal® packaging system. This moisture-sensitive organomagnesium compound is designed for high-purity applications in organic synthesis, particularly for carbon-carbon bond formation reactions. The THF solvent provides optimal solubility and reactivity while the AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term stability by preventing air and moisture contamination. The reagent maintains consistent titer values, making it ideal for reproducible synthetic procedures. As a laboratory-grade solution, it undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee minimal impurities and precise molarity. The clear, colorless to pale yellow solution is compatible with standard Schlenk techniques and inert atmosphere handling. This product is particularly valued for its reliability in research-scale reactions where precise stoichiometry is critical.

FAQs

1. What precautions should be taken when handling this Grignard reagent?

Always handle under inert atmosphere (nitrogen/argon) using dry syringes or cannula techniques. Avoid exposure to air or moisture which can decompose the reagent.

2. Is this solution compatible with glassware that has been oven-dried?

Yes, but additional flame-drying under vacuum is recommended for optimal results, as oven-drying alone may leave residual moisture.

3. What alternatives exist for similar Grignard reactions?

For comparable reactivity, consider isopropylmagnesium chloride or vinylmagnesium bromide solutions, though reaction conditions may need adjustment.

4. How should this solution be stored for maximum shelf life?

Store unopened containers at 2-8°C in a dry, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Once opened, use immediately or store under inert gas.

5. What is the typical titer value for this solution?

The solution is standardized to 0.5M (±0.05M) concentration, with batch-specific titer values provided on the certificate of analysis.
