3-Chloro-4-methylphenylzinc iodide solution
3-Chloro-4-methylphenylzinc iodide solution (CAS: 352525-66-7; Formula: ClC6H3(CH3)ZnI; MW: 317.87) is an organozinc halide reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in THF, it is primarily utilised in organic synthesis for carbon-carbon bond formation via cross-coupling reactions. This arylzinc iodide offers a versatile tool for introducing the 3-chloro-4-methylphenyl moiety into complex molecular structures, finding utility in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research and development.

Cross-Coupling Reactions
This organozinc reagent serves as a key nucleophile in transition-metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi coupling. It enables the efficient formation of new carbon-carbon bonds by reacting with various organic electrophiles.
Aryl Group Transfer
It is employed for the selective transfer of the 3-chloro-4-methylphenyl group. This is particularly useful in the synthesis of complex organic molecules where precise introduction of substituted aryl moieties is required.
Intermediate Synthesis
Used in the multi-step synthesis of advanced intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The specific substitution pattern of the aryl group can be crucial for the biological activity of the final product.
