General description

Isopropylmagnesium chloride is a highly reactive organomagnesium halide formed by the reaction of magnesium metal with isopropyl chloride. It is used in the Grignard reaction to form new carbon-carbon bonds.

Application

Isopropylmagnesium chloride solution (2.0 M in THF) can be used as a reagent to synthesize:      
  • 2,6-Diiodobenzaldehyde derivatives via regioselective metal-iodine exchange of 5-substituted 1,2,3-triiodobenzene in the presence of ethyl formate as a formylating agent.      
  • Arene and heteroarene sulfonamides from aryl and heteroaryl bromides via the formation of corresponding Grignard reagents.
  • Symmetrical pyridyl monoselenides by treating with bromo/iodopyridines followed by quenching with selenyl chloride, SeCl2.

Packaging

The 25 mL Sure/Seal bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.
