Product Overview
2-Methyl-1-Propenylmagnesium Bromide is a highly reactive Grignard reagent supplied as a 0.5M solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF), ensuring optimal solubility and stability for organic synthesis applications. The AcroSeal® packaging guarantees an air-free, moisture-resistant environment, preserving the reagent’s reactivity and extending shelf life. This solution is ideal for nucleophilic addition, carbon-carbon bond formation, and other Grignard-mediated transformations. The reagent’s branched alkyl structure enhances selectivity in certain reactions, making it a versatile choice for synthetic chemists. The THF solvent is anhydrous and inhibitor-free, ensuring compatibility with sensitive reaction conditions. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain consistency in concentration and purity, minimizing variability in experimental outcomes. The solution’s amber color indicates the presence of the organomagnesium species, and proper handling under inert atmosphere is recommended to prevent degradation.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of this Grignard reagent?
The solution remains stable for 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 2-8°C under inert conditions.
2. Can this reagent be used for asymmetric synthesis?
The branched alkyl structure may influence stereoselectivity, but optimization of reaction conditions is recommended for chiral applications.
3. Is this solution compatible with glassware?
Yes, but ensure all glassware is thoroughly dried and purged with inert gas to prevent premature reagent decomposition.
4. What alternatives exist for similar reactivity?
Isopropylmagnesium bromide or allylmagnesium bromide may serve as alternatives, though reactivity profiles differ based on substitution patterns.
5. How should disposal be handled?
Neutralize with isopropanol or dilute acetic acid before disposal, following standard protocols for organometallic waste.
