Phenylzinc iodide solution
Phenylzinc iodide solution (CAS 23665-09-0, C6H5ZnI) is an organozinc halide reagent with a molecular weight of 269.40 g/mol. Supplied as a 0.5 M solution in Tetrahydrofuran (THF), it is typically stored at 2-8°C due to its reactivity. This compound serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly for carbon-carbon bond formation through cross-coupling reactions, and is essential in the preparation of various organometallic compounds.

Cross-Coupling Reactions
Phenylzinc iodide solution is a key reagent in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Negishi coupling, enabling the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. It is used to introduce phenyl groups onto diverse organic frameworks.
Organometallic Synthesis
This reagent is instrumental in the synthesis of complex organometallic compounds. Its controlled reactivity allows for selective functionalization in multi-step synthetic sequences.
Aryl Group Transfer
It serves as an effective agent for transferring aryl groups in organic synthesis. This is crucial for constructing molecules with specific aromatic substitution patterns.
