Tetradecylmagnesium chloride solution
Tetradecylmagnesium chloride solution (CAS: 110220-87-6), with the linear formula CH3(CH2)13MgCl and a molecular weight of 257.14 g/mol, is a vital organometallic reagent. Supplied as a 1.0 M solution in Tetrahydrofuran (THF), this Grignard reagent is characterised by its high reactivity. It is extensively employed in organic synthesis for the introduction of the tetradecyl group into various organic molecules, serving as a crucial building block in the creation of complex chemical structures.
Organic Synthesis
Tetradecylmagnesium chloride solution is a powerful nucleophile used in the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. It reacts with electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides to introduce the long tetradecyl chain.
Introduction of Long Alkyl Chains
This Grignard reagent is specifically useful for incorporating a C14 alkyl chain into target molecules. This is often a key step in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other speciality chemicals requiring specific hydrophobic properties.
Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis
It can serve as a building block in the multi-step synthesis of complex pharmaceutical intermediates where a long aliphatic chain is a required structural motif.
