Description

1-Methylhexylzinc Bromide is a highly reactive organozinc reagent, specifically a secondary alkylzinc halide, widely utilized in organic synthesis. This compound matters for its ability to facilitate efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in cross-coupling reactions, offering excellent functional group tolerance and stereoselectivity. It is a critical intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise and reliable synthetic building blocks.

Application

• Key intermediate in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for constructing complex organic molecules.
• Precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Used in the research and development of agrochemicals, such as herbicides and fungicides.
• Building block for liquid crystal and advanced polymer materials.
• Employed in asymmetric synthesis for creating chiral centers in target molecules.
• Reagent for nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds and other electrophiles.

Quality Control

Our 1-Methylhexylzinc Bromide is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, this material must be stored under a dry, oxygen-free inert gas (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Handle and open containers only in a certified fume hood or under an inert atmosphere to prevent degradation and ensure safety.
