Description

2-iso-Propylphenylzinc Iodide is an organozinc reagent, a versatile building block in modern synthetic organic chemistry. Its primary value lies in enabling efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in cross-coupling reactions, which are fundamental to constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries who require high-purity, reactive intermediates for developing new active ingredients and functional molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: A key reagent for introducing the 2-isopropylphenyl moiety into target molecules via Negishi, Kumada, or other transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
• Agrochemical Active Ingredient Development: Used in the research and scale-up synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides that require specific aryl group functionalization.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing specialized phosphine or N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands used in asymmetric catalysis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the creation of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) where precise aryl-zinc bonding is crucial.
• Fine Chemical and Specialty Chemical Production: Facilitates the manufacture of complex, high-value aromatic compounds where traditional methods are inefficient.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-iso-Propylphenylzinc Iodide is manufactured and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to preserve reactivity and purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including titration for active zinc content and analytical techniques like NMR and GC/HPLC to confirm identity and assess impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this product must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
