Product Overview
2-Mesitylmagnesium bromide, supplied as a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF), is a highly reactive Grignard reagent designed for precision in organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures air-sensitive stability, preventing moisture contamination and preserving reagent integrity. This solution is optimized for nucleophilic addition, carbon-carbon bond formation, and metal-halogen exchange reactions, making it indispensable for advanced laboratory applications. The reagent’s high purity and consistent concentration eliminate variability in experimental outcomes, while the THF solvent enhances solubility and reactivity. Ideal for researchers requiring reliable, high-performance organomagnesium compounds, this product delivers reproducible results in demanding synthetic protocols. Store under inert conditions to maintain reactivity and extend shelf life.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of 2-Mesitylmagnesium bromide in THF?
The shelf life is typically 12 months when stored unopened under inert gas at 2–8°C. Always check the label for batch-specific details.
2. Can this reagent be used in anhydrous reactions?
Yes, the THF solvent and AcroSeal® packaging ensure minimal moisture content, making it suitable for anhydrous conditions.
3. How should I handle this solution to avoid degradation?
Use standard air-sensitive techniques: work under nitrogen or argon, and avoid prolonged exposure to air or humidity.
4. Are there alternatives for less sensitive applications?
For less reactive needs, consider solid mesitylmagnesium bromide or lower-concentration THF solutions, though reactivity may vary.
5. What safety precautions are necessary during use?
Wear gloves, goggles, and work in a fume hood. THF is flammable, and the reagent is corrosive—avoid skin contact and inhalation.
