Product Name – 9-Phenanthrylmagnesium bromide, 0.5M solution in THF, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 50ML Form – Liquid (THF solution) Grade – Research Grade Application – Grignard reagent for organic synthesis

Product Overview

This 0.5M 9-Phenanthrylmagnesium bromide solution in anhydrous THF is a highly reactive Grignard reagent designed for precision organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures airtight protection against moisture and oxygen, preserving the reagent’s integrity for consistent performance in nucleophilic addition and coupling reactions. The tetrahydrofuran solvent system enhances solubility while maintaining stability during storage. This research-grade solution undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee minimal impurities, making it ideal for demanding synthetic applications where reproducibility is critical. The phenanthryl moiety provides unique steric and electronic properties that influence reaction selectivity. Each batch is tested for concentration accuracy and absence of degradation products, ensuring reliable results in your most sensitive transformations.

FAQs

1. What precautions should be taken when handling this Grignard reagent?

Always work under inert atmosphere (nitrogen/argon) using oven-dried glassware. The solution is highly moisture-sensitive and pyrophoric when exposed to air. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles.

2. Can this solution be diluted further with THF?

Yes, it can be diluted with anhydrous THF while maintaining inert conditions. However, this may affect the reaction kinetics depending on your specific application requirements.

3. What’s the typical shelf life when stored properly?

When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at recommended temperatures, the solution maintains its specified concentration for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.

4. How does this compare to solid 9-phenanthrylmagnesium bromide?

The solution form offers immediate reactivity without requiring separate solvent preparation. It eliminates the need for weighing solid reagents and ensures consistent molar concentration in your reactions.

5. What’s the ideal storage temperature for this product?

Store at 2-8°C in a tightly sealed container away from ignition sources. Always return to refrigerated storage immediately after use to maximize stability.
