Decylmagnesium bromide solution
Decylmagnesium bromide solution (CAS: 17049-50-2, CH3(CH2)9MgBr) is a vital organometallic reagent. This Grignard reagent, supplied by Tech Serve Solutions at 1.0 M in diethyl ether, is highly reactive. It is instrumental in organic synthesis for forming new carbon-carbon bonds, commonly used in the preparation of complex molecules and in various chemical research applications where a decyl nucleophile is required.

Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation
As a Grignard reagent, decylmagnesium bromide readily reacts with electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides to form new carbon-carbon bonds. This is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis for building complex molecular structures.
Synthesis of Long-Chain Alcohols and Ketones
Reaction with aldehydes or ketones yields secondary or tertiary alcohols, respectively. With esters, it can lead to tertiary alcohols or ketones under controlled conditions, enabling the synthesis of functionalised long-chain organic compounds.
Organometallic Chemistry Research
This reagent serves as a valuable tool in academic and industrial research laboratories exploring new synthetic methodologies and developing novel organometallic compounds.
