General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.
Di-n-butylmagnesium solution may be prepared by hydrogenation of magnesium, followed by reacting it with 1-butene.

Application

Electrochemically inactive [Mg2(μ-Cl)3•6THF][C2H5AlCl3] crystal may be obtained from an electrolyte composed of Di-n-butylmagnesium and ethylaluminum dichloride. Di-n-butylmagnesium may be used in the carbon metallation of α-olefins. A study reports the possible use of the organometallic compound in the intercalation of magnesium and zinc into the layers of TiS2 or WO2Cl2. Interaction of lithium alkoxide with di-n-butylmagnesium was investigated.
