2-Ethylbutylzinc bromide solution
2-Ethylbutylzinc bromide solution (CAS 312693-02-0) with the linear formula (C2H5)2CHCH2ZnBr and a molecular weight of 230.46 g/mol, is a key organozinc halide reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in Tetrahydrofuran (THF), this compound is instrumental in modern organic synthesis. It serves as a versatile building block for carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in cross-coupling reactions and the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
Organozinc Halide Synthesis
Utilised as a reactive intermediate for introducing the 2-ethylbutyl group into organic molecules. This is crucial in the construction of complex carbon frameworks in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis.
Cross-Coupling Reactions
Participates in various metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi coupling, enabling the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds with high efficiency and selectivity.
Functional Group Interconversion
Serves as a nucleophilic source of the 2-ethylbutyl moiety for reactions with electrophiles, facilitating functional group transformations and the creation of diverse organic structures.
