4-Isopropylphenylzinc iodide solution
4-Isopropylphenylzinc iodide solution (CAS 308796-20-5) with a molecular weight of 311.48 g/mol, is a valuable organozinc reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in Tetrahydrofuran (THF), this compound is characterised by its reactivity in organic synthesis. It serves as a key building block and intermediate in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly through cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the synthesis of complex organic molecules.

Organozinc Reagent in Cross-Coupling Reactions
This organozinc iodide is extensively employed in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi couplings. It enables the efficient formation of C-C bonds by coupling with aryl or vinyl halides and pseudohalides.
Synthesis of Functionalised Aromatic Compounds
It acts as a nucleophilic source of the 4-isopropylphenyl group, allowing for the introduction of this moiety into various organic frameworks. This is crucial for the synthesis of diverse aromatic compounds with specific substitution patterns.
Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis
The compound serves as a versatile intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex drug candidates where precise aryl group introduction is required.
