CAS 21970-13-8: bromo-(2-pyridyl)magnesium

Description:Bromo-(2-pyridyl)magnesium, with the CAS number 21970-13-8, is an organomagnesium compound that belongs to the class of Grignard reagents. It is characterized by the presence of a magnesium atom bonded to a bromo group and a 2-pyridyl group, which is derived from pyridine. This compound typically appears as a colorless to light yellow solution when dissolved in appropriate solvents, such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran. Bromo-(2-pyridyl)magnesium is highly reactive, particularly with moisture and air, necessitating careful handling under an inert atmosphere to prevent decomposition. It acts as a strong nucleophile, making it useful in various organic synthesis reactions, including the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The reactivity of this Grignard reagent allows it to participate in reactions with carbonyl compounds, leading to the formation of alcohols upon hydrolysis. Additionally, the presence of the pyridyl group can impart unique properties, influencing the reactivity and selectivity in synthetic applications. As with all Grignard reagents, proper safety precautions should be observed due to its flammability and reactivity.
