Description

2-Ethylbutylzinc Bromide is a highly reactive organozinc reagent, a valuable synthetic building block in modern organic chemistry. Its core value lies in enabling efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in Negishi cross-coupling reactions, which are critical 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 scalable methods for introducing the 2-ethylbutyl moiety.

Application

• As a key reagent in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
• Intermediate in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates.
• Building block for the synthesis of specialty chemicals and fine chemicals used in agrochemicals.
• Precursor in materials science for the development of functional polymers and advanced organic materials.
• Used in organic synthesis laboratories for method development and scale-up studies.
• Facilitates the introduction of branched alkyl chains in catalysis research and ligand design.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylbutylzinc 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 supplied as a solution in a specified solvent. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, solvent content, and other critical parameters are provided to support your R&D and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), this material must be stored under a dry, inert gas (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents.
