Product Overview

This 0.25M 2-Bromobenzylmagnesium bromide solution in diethyl ether is a specialized Grignard reagent designed for high-efficiency organic synthesis applications. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures maximum purity and stability by protecting the reagent from air and moisture contamination during storage and handling. The solution is prepared in anhydrous diethyl ether, a common solvent for Grignard reactions, providing optimal reactivity for carbon-carbon bond formation. The 0.25M concentration offers a balanced combination of reactivity and ease of handling, making it suitable for precise stoichiometric control in synthetic procedures. As a highly reactive organomagnesium compound, this reagent requires careful handling under inert conditions to maintain its integrity. The solution is particularly valuable in research settings where consistent performance and reproducible results are critical. The AcroSeal® technology provides an additional layer of protection against degradation, extending the reagent’s shelf life while maintaining its high purity standards.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of this 2-Bromobenzylmagnesium bromide solution?

The solution maintains optimal reactivity for 12-18 months when stored properly under inert conditions at recommended temperatures. The AcroSeal® packaging significantly extends stability compared to standard packaging.

2. Can this reagent be used with other solvents besides diethyl ether?

While the solution is specifically prepared in diethyl ether, the reagent can be transferred to other anhydrous solvents like THF under inert conditions, though this may affect reactivity profiles.

3. What safety precautions are essential when handling this solution?

This reagent requires handling in a fume hood with proper ventilation due to its pyrophoric nature. Always use flame-resistant lab wear and maintain an inert atmosphere during transfers.

4. How does the AcroSeal® packaging differ from standard reagent bottles?

The AcroSeal® technology incorporates a specialized septum and valve system that minimizes air exposure during dispensing, reducing moisture contamination risks that typically degrade Grignard reagents.

5. What concentration verification methods are recommended for this solution?

Titration against standardized acids or complexometric methods using EDTA are commonly employed for verifying the active magnesium content in Grignard solutions.
