bromo-[(2-bromophenyl)methyl]zinc

Description:

Bromo-[(2-bromophenyl)methyl]zinc, with the CAS number 307496-27-1, is an organozinc compound characterized by the presence of a zinc atom bonded to a bromo-substituted phenyl group. This compound typically exhibits a tetrahedral geometry around the zinc center, which is common for organozinc reagents. It is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions, due to its ability to act as a nucleophile. The presence of bromine in both the phenyl group and as a leaving group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various transformations, including the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Bromo-[(2-bromophenyl)methyl]zinc is generally sensitive to moisture and air, requiring careful handling and storage under inert conditions. Its applications are significant in the field of medicinal chemistry and materials science, where it can facilitate the synthesis of complex organic molecules. As with many organometallic compounds, safety precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity and reactivity.
