Description

Bis(1-Ethylpropyl)Zinc is a highly reactive organozinc compound, specifically a dialkylzinc reagent. This compound serves as a powerful and versatile precursor for introducing the 1-ethylpropyl (or 3-pentyl) group in advanced organic synthesis and materials science. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for critical carbon-carbon bond formation and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) processes.

Application

• As a key alkylating agent in Negishi cross-coupling reactions for pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis.
• Precursor for Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) in the production of zinc-containing semiconductor thin films.
• Catalyst and co-catalyst component in specialized polymerization reactions for high-performance materials.
• Reagent for the synthesis of organometallic complexes used in homogeneous catalysis.
• Use in organic electroluminescent (OLED) material research and development.
• Laboratory-scale organic synthesis for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Quality Control

Our Bis(1-Ethylpropyl)Zinc is manufactured and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to ensure purity and reactivity. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, concentration, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (typically by titration or GC), zinc content, and solvent residue is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is highly moisture-sensitive and pyrophoric. It must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and oxidizing agents. Use only in a certified fume hood or under an inert gas blanket.
