Product Overview
m-Tolylmagnesium chloride is a 1M solution in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF), packaged in AcroSeal® technology to maintain reagent integrity. This Grignard reagent offers high reactivity for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. The THF solvent enhances solubility and reaction efficiency, while the air-tight AcroSeal® packaging prevents moisture contamination that could degrade the reagent. The reagent-grade purity ensures consistent performance in laboratory applications. The solution is stabilized for extended shelf life when stored properly under inert conditions. This formulation is particularly valuable for researchers requiring precise control over reaction conditions, as the standardized concentration eliminates the need for titration. The AcroSeal® packaging system features a septum cap that allows for easy syringe extraction while maintaining an inert atmosphere.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of this m-Tolylmagnesium chloride solution?
When stored unopened at room temperature under inert conditions, the solution maintains its specified concentration for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this solution be used with other solvents besides THF?
The reagent is specifically formulated in THF for optimal stability and reactivity. Transferring to other solvents may cause precipitation or decomposition.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this Grignard reagent?
Always handle under inert atmosphere using standard Schlenk techniques. The solution is highly moisture-sensitive and pyrophoric when exposed to air.
4. How should I dispose of unused m-Tolylmagnesium chloride solution?
Quench carefully with isopropanol under controlled conditions, then neutralize with dilute acid before disposal according to local hazardous waste regulations.
5. Is this solution compatible with glass syringes for transfer?
Yes, but ensure the syringe is completely dry and inert. PTFE or polypropylene syringes are recommended for better chemical compatibility with Grignard reagents.
