2-Methylbenzylzinc chloride - Introduction
2-Methylbenzylzinc chloride is an organometallic compound with the chemical formula C8H9ClZn. It is a white solid that can be dissolved in organic solvents.
2-Methylbenzylzinc chloride is mainly used for the synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives in organic synthesis. It can react with carboxylic acids to form esters and act as nucleophiles and reducing reagents in organic synthesis. In addition, it can also be used in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and the preparation of organometallic reagents.
The method for preparing 2-Methylbenzylzinc chloride is usually to react 2-methylbenzyl bromide (2-Methylbenzyl bromide) with zinc chloride in a solvent to produce the target product.
Regarding safety information, 2-Methylbenzylzine chloride is an organometallic compound with strong toxicity and corrosion. Wear protective gloves, goggles and protective mask during operation, and maintain good ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of vapors. After treatment, the work area is cleaned using a rinse agent. Any residue after use should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
