4-Biphenylzinc bromide solution
4-Biphenylzinc bromide solution (CAS 312693-44-0) with the linear formula C6H5C6H4ZnBr and a molecular weight of 298.49 g/mol, is a key organozinc reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in THF, it offers excellent reactivity. This compound is primarily utilised in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of complex carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and fine chemical development.

Cross-Coupling Reactions
4-Biphenylzinc bromide is extensively used in Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions. It serves as an effective nucleophile for introducing the biphenyl moiety onto various organic substrates, facilitating the synthesis of complex molecules.
Organic Synthesis Intermediate
As a versatile organozinc halide, it acts as a crucial intermediate in multi-step synthetic pathways. Its controlled reactivity allows for selective functionalisation in the preparation of advanced materials and pharmaceutical candidates.
Formation of Biaryls
This reagent is instrumental in constructing biaryl structures, which are common motifs in many biologically active compounds and organic electronic materials. The biphenyl group can be precisely installed using this zinc reagent.
