CAS 38841-98-4: Chlorooctylmagnesium

Description: Chlorooctylmagnesium, with the CAS number 38841-98-4, is an organomagnesium compound that belongs to the class of Grignard reagents. It is characterized by the presence of a magnesium atom bonded to an octyl group and a chlorine atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. Chlorooctylmagnesium is highly reactive, particularly with water and moisture, leading to the release of hydrocarbons and the formation of magnesium hydroxide. As a Grignard reagent, it is widely used in organic synthesis for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. Its reactivity also makes it a valuable reagent in various chemical transformations, including nucleophilic additions to carbonyl compounds. Due to its sensitivity to air and moisture, it must be handled under an inert atmosphere, typically in a dry environment. Proper safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as it can pose hazards due to its reactivity and potential toxicity.
