Description

Cyclohexylmagnesium Bromide is a highly versatile organometallic reagent, specifically a Grignard reagent, widely used in organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a powerful nucleophile for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, introducing the cyclohexyl group into target molecules. This makes it an essential building block for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, where it is used to create complex intermediates and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Key reagent for constructing carbon skeletons in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Production: Used in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents that require cyclohexyl motifs.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a precursor or modifying agent in the creation of specialized polymers and advanced materials.
• Academic & R&D Laboratories: Fundamental tool for methodological development and exploratory synthesis in organic chemistry.
• Nucleophilic Addition Reactions: Specifically used for additions to carbonyl compounds (ketones, aldehydes, esters) and epoxides.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexylmagnesium Bromide solutions are produced under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for critical synthetic applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm concentration, purity, and reactivity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing titration results and solvent specifications are provided with every shipment. Our quality management system supports compliance with cGMP and ISO standards for research and industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its nature as a highly volatile and strong alkali/organic solvent solution, it must be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress and pressure buildup.
