Description

1-Pentylzinc Bromide is a highly reactive organozinc reagent, a valuable synthetic building block for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Its primary value lies in its utility in Negishi cross-coupling reactions, enabling the efficient and selective introduction of a pentyl group into complex organic molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise alkyl chain elongation and functionalization.

Application

• Key intermediate in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic compounds.
• Alkylation agent in pharmaceutical research for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Building block for the synthesis of liquid crystals and advanced organic electronic materials.
• Precursor in the preparation of fine chemicals and specialty agrochemicals.
• Used in organic synthesis laboratories for method development and scale-up process optimization.
• Facilitates the introduction of linear pentyl chains into heterocyclic and aromatic systems.

Quality Control

Our 1-Pentylzinc Bromide 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 solution concentration. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, typically by titration or NMR, is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation.

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) organometallic compound, it must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C. Handle and store away from moisture and oxidizing agents.
