2-Adamantylzinc bromide solution
2-Adamantylzinc bromide solution (CAS: 171860-65-4; C10H15BrZn; MW: 280.52) is an organozinc reagent supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. This solution, typically 0.5 M in THF, is valuable in organic synthesis for introducing the adamantyl group. Its reactivity makes it a key intermediate in the preparation of complex organic molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, due to the unique steric and electronic properties of the adamantyl moiety.

Organic Synthesis Intermediate
Serves as a crucial reagent in organometallic cross-coupling reactions and other transformations for constructing carbon-carbon bonds. It is instrumental in the regioselective and stereoselective synthesis of complex organic structures.
Pharmaceutical Intermediate
Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates where the adamantyl group can impart desirable pharmacokinetic properties such as increased lipophilicity and metabolic stability.
Fine Chemical Production
Enables the efficient introduction of the bulky adamantyl group into diverse organic frameworks, facilitating the development of novel materials and specialty chemicals.
