3-Methoxyphenylzinc iodide solution
3-Methoxyphenylzinc iodide solution (CAS: 300825-30-3, Formula: CH3OC6H4ZnI, MW: 299.42) is a valuable organometallic reagent. Supplied at 0.5 M in THF, this solution is primarily utilised in organic synthesis for the introduction of the 3-methoxyphenyl group through cross-coupling reactions. Its reactivity makes it suitable for constructing complex molecular architectures in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research and development.

Organozinc Reagent in Cross-Coupling
3-Methoxyphenylzinc iodide solution is employed in various palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi couplings. It facilitates the formation of carbon-carbon bonds by transferring the 3-methoxyphenyl moiety to organic electrophiles.
Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Intermediates
This reagent serves as a key building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including intermediates for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its specific reactivity allows for precise functionalisation in multi-step syntheses.
Aryl Group Introduction
The solution is used to efficiently introduce the 3-methoxyphenyl group into target molecules. This is particularly useful in medicinal chemistry for modifying lead compounds and exploring structure-activity relationships.
