Product Name – Vinylmagnesium chloride, 1.7M (15 wt.%) solution in THF, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML, 800ML Form – Solution Grade – Laboratory Reagent Application – Grignard reagent for organic synthesis
Product Overview
Vinylmagnesium chloride, supplied as a 1.7M (15 wt.%) solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF), is a highly reactive Grignard reagent essential for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures minimal exposure to moisture and oxygen, preserving the reagent’s integrity for consistent performance in sensitive reactions. This solution is stabilized in THF, a polar aprotic solvent that enhances solubility and reactivity while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of substrates. The 1.7M concentration provides an optimal balance between reactivity and ease of handling, reducing the need for excessive solvent volumes in experimental setups. As a laboratory-grade reagent, it undergoes rigorous purity testing to minimize metallic impurities and byproducts, ensuring reliable results in research and development applications. The sealed format minimizes degradation during storage, extending shelf life without compromising reactivity. Whether used in small-scale experiments or larger synthetic processes, this solution delivers precise stoichiometric control, making it a staple in modern organic laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of Vinylmagnesium chloride in THF when stored properly?
The solution remains stable for 12–18 months when stored under inert gas at 2–8°C in its original AcroSeal® packaging, protected from light and moisture.
2. Can this reagent be used directly without further purification?
While the solution is supplied as a high-purity laboratory reagent, some applications may require titration to confirm molarity before use, especially in moisture-sensitive reactions.
3. Is this compatible with glassware, or are specific materials recommended?
The solution is compatible with standard borosilicate glassware, but PTFE or polyethylene-coated equipment is advised for prolonged storage to prevent potential leaching.
4. What alternatives exist if THF is not suitable for my reaction conditions?
Alternatives like diethyl ether or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) can be explored, though solubility and reactivity profiles may vary significantly.
5. How should unused solution be disposed of after an experiment?
Neutralize with a dilute acid (e.g., 1M HCl) in a well-ventilated fume hood, then follow institutional protocols for halogenated organic waste disposal.
