Description

(4-Vinylphenyl)Chloromagnesium is a highly reactive Grignard reagent, a cornerstone organometallic compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a powerful nucleophile for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, specifically introducing the 4-vinylphenyl moiety into target molecules. This makes it an essential building block for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, particularly for synthesizing styrene derivatives, liquid crystals, and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates containing styrenyl or biphenyl structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in creating advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific aromatic frameworks.
• Advanced Material Precursor: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polymers, resins, and liquid crystal materials.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Fundamental tool in academic and industrial R&D for constructing complex organic molecules through nucleophilic addition reactions.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, and other high-value aromatic fine chemicals.

Quality Control

Our (4-Vinylphenyl)Chloromagnesium is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and concentration, typically supplied as a solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or diethyl ether. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration), solvent content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this reagent must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and incompatible materials.
