CAS 2386-64-3: Ethylmagnesium chloride
Description:Ethylmagnesium chloride, with the CAS number 2386-64-3, is an organomagnesium compound classified as a Grignard reagent. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. Ethylmagnesium chloride is highly reactive, particularly with water and moisture, leading to the release of ethane and the formation of magnesium hydroxide. This reactivity makes it a valuable reagent in organic synthesis, where it is used to form carbon-carbon bonds by reacting with various electrophiles, including carbonyl compounds. The compound is usually handled under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, to prevent unwanted reactions with atmospheric moisture or oxygen. Ethylmagnesium chloride is also known for its ability to act as a strong base, facilitating deprotonation reactions. Due to its reactivity and potential hazards, including flammability and toxicity, it must be handled with appropriate safety precautions in a controlled laboratory environment.
