Ethynylmagnesium chloride solution
Ethynylmagnesium chloride solution (CAS 65032-27-1, CH≡CMgCl) is a reactive organometallic reagent supplied as a 0.5 M solution in Tetrahydrofuran (THF). With a molecular weight of 84.79 g/mol, it serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing ethynyl groups into molecules. Its applications span the synthesis of complex organic compounds, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals, making it a staple in research and development laboratories.

Alkynylation Reactions
Ethynylmagnesium chloride solution is a potent nucleophile used to introduce the ethynyl group (–C≡CH) into organic molecules through reactions with electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, and esters.
Organic Synthesis Intermediate
It acts as a key intermediate in the construction of carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the synthesis of diverse organic structures including heterocycles and complex natural product analogues.
Pharmaceutical Research
This reagent is employed in the synthesis pathways of potential drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the incorporation of an alkynyl moiety is required.
Material Science
The ethynyl group can be incorporated into polymers or advanced materials, potentially influencing their electronic or structural properties.
