2-(Methylthio)phenylzinc iodide solution
2-(Methylthio)phenylzinc iodide solution (CAS: 308796-24-9), with the formula CH3SC6H4ZnI and a molecular weight of 315.49, is an organozinc reagent supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. This solution, typically 0.5 M in THF, is valuable in organic synthesis. It serves as a versatile building block for creating complex carbon-carbon bonds and introducing the 2-(methylthio)phenyl group into various molecular structures, finding utility in pharmaceutical and materials science research.

Cross-Coupling Reactions
This organozinc iodide is a key reagent in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi couplings. It facilitates the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds by reacting with aryl or vinyl halides and triflates.
Synthesis of Heterocycles
It can be employed in the synthesis of complex heterocyclic compounds, which are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The 2-(methylthio)phenyl moiety can be incorporated to modulate the electronic and steric properties of the target molecules.
Materials Science
The introduction of sulfur-containing aryl groups is important in the development of novel organic electronic materials. This reagent offers a pathway to synthesize materials with tailored optoelectronic properties.
