CAS 107549-22-4: 3-bromobenzylmagnesium bromide

Description: 3-Bromobenzylmagnesium bromide is an organometallic compound classified as a Grignard reagent, which is typically used in organic synthesis for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. This compound features a benzyl group substituted with a bromine atom at the meta position relative to the benzyl carbon, and it contains a magnesium bromide moiety. As a Grignard reagent, it is highly reactive, particularly with electrophiles, and can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. It is sensitive to moisture and air, requiring an anhydrous environment for storage and handling, as it can react violently with water to produce benzyl alcohol and magnesium hydroxide. The compound is typically prepared by reacting 3-bromobenzyl chloride with magnesium in an ether solvent. Its applications include the synthesis of various organic compounds, including alcohols, ketones, and other functionalized molecules. Due to its reactivity, proper safety precautions must be taken when working with this reagent in a laboratory setting.
