Product Overview

2-Methyl-1-naphthylmagnesium bromide is a highly reactive Grignard reagent supplied as a 0.25M solution in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) under the AcroSeal® packaging system. This air- and moisture-sensitive organomagnesium compound is specifically formulated to maintain stability and reactivity for demanding organic synthesis applications. The THF solvent ensures optimal solubility and reaction efficiency, while the AcroSeal® packaging prevents contamination and degradation during storage. This reagent is particularly valuable for introducing the 2-methyl-1-naphthyl moiety into target molecules through carbon-carbon bond formation. The solution’s precise molar concentration eliminates the need for titration, providing consistent results in synthetic protocols. As a reagent-grade product, it undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure minimal impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions. The sealed packaging system maintains the reagent’s integrity from production to use, making it ideal for laboratories requiring reliable performance in complex organic transformations.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of this Grignard reagent?

The sealed AcroSeal® packaging maintains stability for 12 months when stored at room temperature, though reactivity may gradually decrease after opening.

2. Can this reagent be used in non-THF solvents?

While formulated in THF, the reagent can be transferred to other anhydrous ethers like diethyl ether, but solvent compatibility should be verified for specific applications.

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

Always use in a fume hood with proper PPE, as the reagent is highly flammable, air-sensitive, and reacts violently with water.

4. How should I dispose of unused reagent?

Neutralize with isopropanol or saturated ammonium chloride solution before disposal according to local hazardous waste regulations.

5. What’s the difference between this and standard Grignard reagents?

The AcroSeal® packaging provides superior moisture protection, while the 2-methyl-1-naphthyl structure offers unique steric and electronic properties in synthesis.
