Description

1-Hexylzinc Bromide is an organozinc reagent, specifically a dialkylzinc compound, widely used in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its role as a versatile nucleophile for the efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly in cross-coupling reactions. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable and high-purity intermediates for complex molecule construction.

Application

• As a key reagent in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
• Nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones) and imines for alcohol and amine synthesis.
• Precursor in the synthesis of fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Used in the development of liquid crystal materials and other specialty polymers.
• Alkylation agent in organic synthesis for introducing hexyl groups into molecular frameworks.
• Catalyst and co-catalyst component in various organometallic transformations.

Quality Control

Our 1-Hexylzinc Bromide is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, assay, and impurity profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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, and well-ventilated area. This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and easily oxidized; containers must be kept sealed and handled under inert conditions to maintain stability and purity.
