Dimethylzinc

Description:
Dimethylzinc, with the CAS number 544-97-8, is an organozinc compound characterized by its colorless, flammable liquid form at room temperature. It has a distinctive odor and is highly reactive, particularly with moisture and air, forming zinc oxide and releasing methane gas upon contact with water. This reactivity makes it a useful reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds through reactions such as the Grignard reaction. Dimethylzinc is soluble in organic solvents like diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran but is insoluble in water. Due to its pyrophoric nature, it ignites spontaneously in air, necessitating careful handling under inert atmospheres, typically nitrogen or argon. In terms of safety, it poses significant hazards, including toxicity and flammability, requiring appropriate safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper storage conditions. Its applications extend to the production of various organozinc derivatives and in the semiconductor industry for the deposition of zinc-containing thin films.
