Bromo(2,6-dimethylphenyl)magnesium

Description:

Bromo(2,6-dimethylphenyl)magnesium, with the CAS number 21450-64-6, is an organomagnesium compound classified as a Grignard reagent. It is characterized by the presence of a magnesium atom bonded to a bromo-substituted aromatic ring, specifically 2,6-dimethylphenyl. This compound typically appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. Grignard reagents are known for their high reactivity, particularly with electrophiles, making them valuable in organic synthesis for forming carbon-carbon bonds. The presence of the bromo group allows for nucleophilic attack on various substrates, facilitating the formation of alcohols, ketones, and other functional groups upon hydrolysis. Additionally, due to the reactivity of Grignard reagents with moisture and air, they must be handled under anhydrous conditions, often in inert atmospheres. Safety precautions are essential, as these compounds can be flammable and reactive with water, releasing hydrocarbons and potentially hazardous byproducts.
