Description

2,4-Dimethylphenylzinc Iodide is a versatile organozinc reagent, specifically an arylzinc halide, widely used in modern synthetic chemistry. Its core value lies in enabling efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in cross-coupling reactions, which are fundamental for constructing complex organic molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries who require reliable, high-purity intermediates for developing active ingredients and functional compounds.

Application

• Key intermediate in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl and heterobiaryl structures.
• Building block for pharmaceutical research, used in creating potential drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Precursor in the synthesis of liquid crystals and organic electronic materials for display and semiconductor applications.
• Reagent for the functionalization of complex molecules in agrochemical research for new pesticide and herbicide development.
• Used in fine chemical synthesis for producing specialty chemicals and advanced intermediates.
• Tool in methodological development for new catalytic systems and synthetic pathways in academic and industrial R&D.

Quality Control

Our 2,4-Dimethylphenylzinc Iodide is manufactured under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including titration for active zinc content and spectroscopic identification. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming specifications for purity, concentration (typically supplied as a solution in THF or other ethers), and absence of critical impurities. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and easily oxidized; it must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for solutions. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials. Use appropriate ventilation and handling procedures for pyrophoric/organometallic reagents.
