Description

(Cyclohexyl)Methylzinc Bromide is a highly reactive organozinc reagent used as a key building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its ability to introduce the cyclohexylmethyl group in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the efficient construction of complex molecular architectures. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional molecules.

Application

• As a nucleophilic reagent in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for C-C bond formation.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical candidates, particularly those containing functionalized cyclohexane motifs.
• Building block for creating advanced materials and liquid crystals with specific steric properties.
• Used in the development of novel agrochemicals and crop protection agents.
• Employed in asymmetric synthesis and the preparation of chiral compounds in fine chemical production.
• Reagent for the functionalization of complex organic molecules in academic and industrial research.

Quality Control

Our (Cyclohexyl)Methylzinc Bromide is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration for zinc content and NMR analysis for structural confirmation and purity assessment. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to maintain stability. Due to its moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the reagent should be handled in a dry, oxygen-free environment using standard Schlenk or glovebox techniques.
