1-Pentylmagnesium chloride

Description:
1-Pentylmagnesium chloride, with the CAS number 6393-56-2, is a Grignard reagent, which is an organomagnesium compound commonly used in organic synthesis. It features a pentyl group (a five-carbon alkyl chain) bonded to a magnesium atom, which is also coordinated to a chloride ion. This compound is typically a colorless to light yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state and purity. As a Grignard reagent, it is highly reactive, particularly with water and protic solvents, leading to the formation of hydrocarbons and magnesium hydroxides. It is utilized in various reactions, including nucleophilic additions to carbonyl compounds, enabling the formation of alcohols after subsequent hydrolysis. The reactivity of 1-pentylmagnesium chloride makes it a valuable tool in synthetic organic chemistry, allowing for the construction of complex molecular architectures. However, due to its reactivity, it must be handled under anhydrous conditions and with appropriate safety precautions to prevent hazardous reactions.
