Ethylmagnesium bromide

Description:
Ethylmagnesium bromide, with the CAS number 925-90-6, is an organomagnesium compound classified as a Grignard reagent. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. This compound is highly reactive, particularly with water and moisture, leading to the release of ethane and the formation of magnesium hydroxide. Ethylmagnesium bromide is commonly used in organic synthesis for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, allowing for the introduction of ethyl groups into various organic molecules. It acts as a strong nucleophile, reacting with electrophiles such as carbonyl compounds to form alcohols after subsequent hydrolysis. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled under anhydrous conditions, often in an inert atmosphere, to prevent decomposition. Safety precautions are essential when working with this reagent, as it can cause severe burns and is flammable. Overall, ethylmagnesium bromide is a valuable tool in synthetic organic chemistry, facilitating the construction of complex molecular architectures.
