Description

Decylmagnesium Bromide CAS NO 17049-50-2 is a highly reactive organomagnesium compound, specifically a Grignard reagent, featuring a linear decyl (C10) alkyl chain. This reagent is a cornerstone in synthetic organic chemistry for the efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the precise construction of complex molecular architectures. It is an essential tool for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, where it is used to introduce the decyl group into target molecules for property modification or as a synthetic intermediate.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Key reagent for introducing the decyl moiety in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates, impacting lipophilicity and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where the decyl chain contributes to product efficacy and environmental stability.
• Specialty Chemical Production: Serves as a building block for surfactants, lubricant additives, and corrosion inhibitors, leveraging its long alkyl chain for surface-active properties.
• Polymer & Material Science: Employed in the synthesis of functional polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials to tailor physical and chemical properties.
• Fine Chemical & Flavor/Fragrance Synthesis: Facilitates the creation of complex organic molecules used in high-value flavors, fragrances, and dyes.
• Academic & R&D Laboratories: A fundamental reagent for methodological development and exploratory synthesis in university and industrial research settings.

Quality Control

Our Decylmagnesium Bromide is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Typical quality parameters include titration for Grignard concentration and analysis of residual magnesium content. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing purity, concentration in solution (typically in THF or diethyl ether), and relevant analytical data. Our quality management system supports compliance with cGMP and ISO standards for research and industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties as a highly volatile and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) compound, it must be stored under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. For solutions, store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C for extended stability) as specified on the container. Keep away from moisture, strong acids, and oxidizing agents.
