((benzoyloxy)methyl)zinc(II) iodide - Introduction
Benzoyl methyl zinc iodide, referred to as Benzoyloxymethylzinc iodide, chemical formula (C6H5COOCH2ZnI). The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information:
Nature:
Benzoic acid methyl zinc iodide is an organic zinc compound, white crystalline powder. It is deliquescent at room temperature and can be dissolved in organic solvents, such as ether.
Use:
Benzoyl methyl zinc iodide has certain application value in organic synthesis. It can be used as a source of carbon-carbon bonds and react with aromatic aldehydes and ketones to generate functional groups such as α-aldehyde and α-keto aldehydes. In addition, it can also be used as a coordination reagent to perform the function of a catalyst in a metal-catalyzed reaction.
Preparation Method:
The method for preparing benzoylmethyl zinc iodide is generally obtained by reacting methyl benzoate with zinc iodide. Specifically, methyl benzoate was dissolved in diethyl ether, and then zinc iodide was added. After the reaction was stirred for a period of time, the product was obtained by filtration.
Safety Information:
Benzoyl methyl zinc iodide has certain toxicity and irritation. In handling and handling, you should follow laboratory safety standards and wear protective glasses and gloves to avoid contact with the skin or inhalation of its vapors. In addition, because the substance is easily deliquescent, it is necessary to maintain a dry environment during storage and use to prevent contact with moisture.
