CAS 874-72-6

chloro-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]magnesium

Description:

Chloro-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]magnesium, with the CAS number 874-72-6, is an organomagnesium compound that belongs to the class of Grignard reagents. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is characterized by the presence of a magnesium atom bonded to a chloro group and a 4-chlorobenzyl group, which contributes to its reactivity. Grignard reagents are known for their ability to act as nucleophiles, making them valuable in organic synthesis for forming carbon-carbon bonds. This compound is sensitive to moisture and air, requiring an anhydrous environment for stability and reactivity. When exposed to water or protic solvents, it can hydrolyze, releasing hydrocarbons and forming magnesium hydroxide. Due to its reactivity, chloro-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]magnesium must be handled with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid contact with skin or inhalation of vapors.
