Product Information
- m-Methyphenylmagnesium bromide
3-Tolylmagnesium bromide is a Grignard reagent that can react with carbinols such as alcohols, phenols, and ethers to form ethers or esters. 3-Tolylmagnesium bromide is also a halogenating agent and can be used in the production of chlorides. It is soluble in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, and benzene. 3-Tolylmagnesium bromide reacts with organic compounds containing electron-donating groups such as carbinols, chlorides, and esters. This reaction forms an ion pair between the magnesium cation and the electron-deficient carbon atom of the 3-tolyl group. The reaction between 3-tolylmagnesium bromide and an alkyne produces a reactive intermediate that can undergo substitution by various nucleophiles to form products such as vinyl chloride or glycidyl chloride
