Benzylzinc bromide solution
Benzylzinc bromide solution (CAS: 62673-31-8), with the linear formula C6H5CH2ZnBr and a molecular weight of 236.42 g/mol, is a valuable organozinc halide reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in THF, this compound is primarily utilised in chemical synthesis for introducing the benzyl group in various organic transformations. Its reactivity makes it a key component in the toolkit for advanced organic chemistry.
Organozinc Reagent
Benzylzinc bromide serves as a nucleophilic source of the benzyl group in organic synthesis. It is employed in coupling reactions and the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.
Cross-Coupling Reactions
This organozinc halide can participate in transition-metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex organic molecules with substituted benzyl moieties.
Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Its ability to introduce the benzyl group selectively makes it useful in multi-step syntheses of biologically active compounds and pharmaceutical intermediates.
