tetradecylmagnesium chloride

Description:

Tetradecylmagnesium chloride is an organomagnesium compound, specifically a Grignard reagent, characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which consists of fourteen carbon atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is highly reactive, particularly with water and moisture, leading to the release of flammable hydrocarbons and the formation of magnesium hydroxide. Tetradecylmagnesium chloride is used in organic synthesis, particularly for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the creation of larger organic molecules. Its long alkyl chain imparts unique properties, making it useful in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants and polymers. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, to prevent unwanted reactions. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as it can pose hazards due to its flammability and reactivity with moisture.
