3-Ethylphenylmagnesium bromide - Introduction
3-Ethylylmagnesium bromide is an organic magnesium reagent with the chemical formula C8H9BrMg. It is a solid, usually in the form of an ether solution. This compound can be used for Grignard reaction and reduction reaction in organic synthesis.
3-Ethylphenyl magnesium bromide are generally prepared by reacting 3-phenylethyl bromide with magnesium metal. The magnesium flakes or magnesium powder are first mixed with dry ether or tetrahydrofuran solution and stirred at low temperature, then 3-phenylethyl bromide is slowly added. After the reaction is complete, it is usually necessary to interrupt the reaction by adding a certain amount of hydrochloric acid or other acidic solution.
In terms of safety, 3-Ethylphenylmagnesium bromide is an organometallic compound with strong deliquescence and will release methane gas when exposed to water. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture-proof during use and storage. In addition, it can cause eye and skin allergic reactions, so wear protective equipment during operation to avoid contact with skin and eyes.
