Product Name – 2-Pyridylzinc bromide, 0.5M solution in THF, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 50ML Form – Liquid (THF solution) Grade – Reagent grade Application – Organometallic synthesis, cross-coupling reactions

Product Overview

2-Pyridylzinc bromide is a highly reactive organozinc reagent supplied as a 0.5M solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) under the AcroSeal® system, ensuring maximum stability and purity. This reagent is specifically designed for demanding organometallic synthesis applications, offering enhanced reactivity and selectivity in cross-coupling reactions. The THF solvent provides optimal solubility, while the AcroSeal® packaging minimizes exposure to moisture and air, preserving the reagent’s integrity. Its controlled concentration of 0.5M allows for precise stoichiometric use in laboratory protocols. The reagent’s purity is maintained through rigorous quality control, making it suitable for sensitive applications where consistency is critical. The solution’s stability is further enhanced by the inert atmosphere within the AcroSeal® packaging, reducing the risk of decomposition during storage. This product is an essential tool for chemists requiring reliable organometallic intermediates in their synthetic workflows.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 2-Pyridylzinc bromide in THF solution?

The shelf life is typically 12 months when stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at recommended conditions. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.

2. Can this reagent be used directly in cross-coupling reactions?

Yes, the 0.5M concentration is optimized for direct use in most cross-coupling protocols without requiring additional dilution or modification.

3. What precautions should be taken while handling this solution?

Handle in a fume hood with proper PPE, as THF is volatile and the reagent is moisture-sensitive. Avoid exposure to air and moisture to prevent degradation.

4. Is this product compatible with other organometallic reagents?

It is compatible with most common organometallic reagents used in synthesis, but compatibility should be verified based on specific reaction conditions.

5. How should this solution be stored for long-term use?

Store in a cool, dry place under an inert atmosphere, preferably in the original AcroSeal® container to maintain stability and prevent contamination.
