5-Chloro-2-thienylzinc bromide solution
5-Chloro-2-thienylzinc bromide solution (CAS 312624-22-9), with the empirical formula C4H2BrClSZn and a molecular weight of 262.87 g/mol, is a key organometallic reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in THF, it is a valuable tool in organic synthesis for introducing the 5-chloro-2-thienyl moiety. This reagent is particularly useful in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecules containing thiophene rings for pharmaceutical and materials science applications.

Organometallic Synthesis
Used as an organozinc halide reagent in cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi coupling, to form new carbon-carbon bonds. This facilitates the synthesis of substituted thiophenes.
Heteroaryl Chemistry
Enables the facile introduction of the 5-chloro-2-thienyl group into organic frameworks. This is crucial for the development of novel pharmaceuticals and organic electronic materials.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Acts as a building block for the synthesis of complex drug candidates containing the thiophene scaffold, a common motif in many biologically active compounds.
Materials Science
Applicable in the synthesis of functional organic materials, including conjugated polymers and small molecules for organic electronics, where thiophene units are frequently incorporated.
