- o-Tolylmagnesium bromide
o-Tolylmagnesium bromide is a reagent for the preparation of chlorides, bromides, iodides, and phosphates. It is used in the Friedel-Crafts reaction to convert alkenes into alkyl halides. The compound is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene. o-Tolylmagnesium bromide can be prepared by reacting hydrochloric acid with o-tolylmagnesium chloride. This compound has a nucleophilic attack on the electrophilic carbon atom of the hydrochloric acid molecule, followed by a proton transfer from water to yield hydrobromic acid (HBr). The reaction is selective because the attacking nucleophile can only react at that specific site. X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for three different crystalline forms: monoclinic, orthorhombic, and hexagonal phases. NMR
