Description

Tetradecylmagnesium Chloride is a highly reactive organometallic reagent belonging to the class of Grignard reagents. It serves as a critical building block for introducing a long-chain tetradecyl group into target molecules, enabling the synthesis of complex organic compounds. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop new active ingredients or advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Key reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring long alkyl chain modifications for enhanced lipophilicity or biological activity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used to construct complex molecules for crop protection agents, such as fungicides and herbicides, where specific alkyl chain lengths are crucial for efficacy.
• Specialty Polymer Production: Acts as an initiator or chain-transfer agent in the polymerization processes to create polymers with tailored hydrophobic properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Fundamental reagent for nucleophilic addition reactions, including the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecule construction within R&D laboratories.
• Liquid Crystal & Advanced Material Precursors: Employed in the synthesis of organic compounds used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other functional materials requiring precise alkyl chain architectures.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used in the multi-step synthesis of specific aroma chemicals and flavoring agents that incorporate long-chain hydrocarbon motifs.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecylmagnesium Chloride is produced under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and concentration, typically supplied as a solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or diethyl ether. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration), solvent content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this reagent must be handled and stored with care to prevent exposure to moisture, air, and incompatible materials.
