4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)phenylzinc bromide solution
4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)phenylzinc bromide solution (CAS: 131379-15-2) is an organozinc halide supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. With the linear formula C₂H₅O₂CC₆H₄ZnBr and a molecular weight of 294.46 g/mol, this reagent is provided as a 0.5 M solution in THF, often containing 1-3% inorganic chloride impurities. It is primarily utilised as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, particularly for cross-coupling reactions.

Cross-Coupling Reactions
This organozinc bromide serves as a valuable nucleophilic coupling partner in transition metal-catalysed reactions, such as Negishi couplings. It enables the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds by reacting with aryl or vinyl halides.
Synthesis of Complex Molecules
The reagent is instrumental in the construction of complex organic frameworks, including pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Its functional group tolerance allows for the introduction of the ethoxycarbonylphenyl moiety into various molecular structures.
Preparation of Organometallic Intermediates
It acts as a precursor for generating other organozinc species or can be directly employed in reactions requiring a reactive aryl zinc reagent. This facilitates diverse synthetic transformations.
