Description

2-Butenylphenylzinc is an organozinc reagent, specifically a phenylzinc compound with a 2-butenyl substituent, widely utilized in organic synthesis. This compound matters as a versatile nucleophile and transmetalation agent for the efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly in cross-coupling reactions. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Cross-Coupling Reactions: A key reagent in Negishi, Kumada, and related palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings for the introduction of the phenyl group.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used in the construction of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of novel organometallic complexes and catalysts.
• Material Science Research: Applied in the development of organic electronic materials and polymers.
• Fine Chemical Production: Utilized for the precise, scalable synthesis of specialty aromatic compounds.

Quality Control

Our 2-Butenylphenylzinc is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Quality is verified through analytical techniques including titration, NMR, and GC analysis to confirm concentration, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to maintain stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, it must be handled and stored using strict air-free and moisture-free techniques (Schlenk line or glovebox).
