Description

n-Propylzinc Bromide is a highly reactive organozinc reagent, specifically an alkylzinc halide, widely used in modern organic synthesis. Its core value lies in enabling efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in cross-coupling reactions, which are fundamental for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries who require precise and reliable reagents for fine chemical synthesis.

Application

• As a key reagent in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for the formation of C-C bonds.
• Nucleophilic propylation of aldehydes, ketones, and acid chlorides in organic synthesis.
• Precursor for the preparation of other organozinc compounds and catalysts.
• Use in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Manufacturing of liquid crystals and other specialty materials for the electronics industry.
• Production of fine chemicals and complex natural product analogs.
• Research and development in academic and industrial laboratories for novel synthetic methodologies.

Quality Control

Our n-Propylzinc Bromide is manufactured 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 provided as a solution in a specified organic solvent. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration), solvent content, and other critical parameters is supplied with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is strictly light-sensitive, easily oxidized, and hygroscopic. It must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. For optimal stability, we recommend storage at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Always handle using standard techniques for air- and moisture-sensitive compounds.
