Description

Iron(II) Bromide, Dimethoxyethane is a coordination complex where iron(II) bromide is solvated by dimethoxyethane (DME), a common ethereal solvent. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and solubility in organic media compared to the anhydrous salt, making it a versatile precursor in organometallic synthesis and catalysis. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and advanced materials sectors for use as a catalyst or reagent in cross-coupling reactions, polymerization, and the synthesis of specialty iron complexes.

Application

• As a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis, particularly for cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Negishi, Kumada).
• As a reagent in organometallic chemistry for the preparation of other iron-based complexes and materials.
• In polymerization catalysis for the production of specialized polymers and elastomers.
• For materials science research, including the development of magnetic or electronic materials.
• As a Lewis acid catalyst in various organic transformations requiring a mild acidic environment.
• In pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis where iron catalysis is employed for key bond-forming steps.

Quality Control

Our Iron(II) Bromide, Dimethoxyethane is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis, to meet the high standards required for research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, this material is best stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a desiccated environment to maintain long-term stability and purity.
