Heptylzinc bromide solution
Heptylzinc bromide solution (CAS: 7608-06-2) with the linear formula CH3(CH2)6ZnBr and a molecular weight of 244.49 g/mol is a key organozinc halide reagent. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in Tetrahydrofuran (THF), it is primarily utilised in organic synthesis for cross-coupling reactions and as a nucleophilic source of the heptyl group. Its chemical properties make it valuable in the preparation of complex organic molecules.
Organic Synthesis
Heptylzinc bromide is employed as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in Negishi cross-coupling reactions. It facilitates the formation of carbon-carbon bonds by introducing a heptyl chain onto various organic substrates.
Organometallic Chemistry
As an organozinc halide, this compound is a valuable tool in organometallic chemistry. It serves as a precursor or reagent in the synthesis of more complex organozinc compounds and facilitates transformations involving zinc-mediated processes.
Pharmaceutical Intermediate Preparation
The ability to selectively form C-C bonds makes heptylzinc bromide a useful reagent in the multi-step synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
