Product Name – 3-Bromobenzylmagnesium bromide, 0.25M solution in diethyl ether, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML Form – Solution Grade – Reagent Application – Grignard reagent for organic synthesis

Product Overview

3-Bromobenzylmagnesium bromide is a highly reactive Grignard reagent supplied as a 0.25M solution in diethyl ether, ensuring optimal stability and ease of handling. The AcroSeal® packaging prevents moisture contamination, preserving the reagent’s reactivity for critical organic synthesis applications. This reagent is particularly valuable for introducing benzyl groups into organic molecules, facilitating carbon-carbon bond formation in complex syntheses. The diethyl ether solvent enhances solubility while maintaining the reagent’s potency, making it suitable for laboratory-scale reactions. Proper storage under inert conditions is essential to prevent degradation, ensuring consistent performance in research and development workflows. The reagent’s high purity and standardized concentration simplify experimental reproducibility, reducing variability in results.

FAQs

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

The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened under recommended conditions.

2. Can this solution be used directly without further dilution?

Yes, the 0.25M concentration is optimized for direct use in most Grignard reactions without requiring additional dilution.

3. Is this reagent compatible with anhydrous reaction conditions?

Absolutely, the AcroSeal® packaging ensures minimal moisture exposure, making it ideal for anhydrous synthesis environments.

4. What precautions should be taken during storage?

Store under an inert atmosphere, away from heat and ignition sources, in a tightly sealed container to prevent ether evaporation.

5. Are there safer alternatives for less experienced users?

For beginners, pre-prepared Grignard reagents with lower reactivity or stabilized formulations may be preferable for safety.
