Description

Magnesium Bromide Tetrahydrofuran Complex CAS NO 63994-15-0 is a versatile organometallic reagent widely used as a source of nucleophilic bromide or as a mild Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to facilitate key transformations, such as Grignard-type additions and bromination reactions, under relatively mild conditions compared to traditional alkylmagnesium halides. This complex is essential for research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking efficient and selective synthetic pathways.

Application

• Grignard Reagent Precursor: Serves as a convenient and safer alternative to highly pyrophoric alkylmagnesium bromides for the generation of organomagnesium species in situ.
• Bromination Agent: Used in nucleophilic bromination reactions of carbonyl compounds, epoxides, and other electrophiles.
• Lewis Acid Catalyst: Facilitates a variety of organic transformations, including aldol condensations, Michael additions, and ring-opening polymerizations.
• Polymerization Initiator: Employed in the synthesis of specific polymers and copolymers, particularly where controlled initiation is required.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: A key building block in the multi-step synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex organic molecules.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Bromide Tetrahydrofuran Complex is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, residual solvent analysis, and identification, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and handled in a dry environment. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
