| | Methylmagnesium chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | dark brown solution | | Uses | Methylmagnesium chloride is used as a Grignard reagent and an alkylating agent in organic synthesis. | | Application | Methylmagnesium chloride solution (3 M in THF) undergoes 1,3-addition with dialdose derived nitrones to form N-benzylhydroxylamines. The reductive cleavage of the N-O bond of these N-benzylhydroxylamines results in N-benzylaminosugars, which are key moieties of bioactive compounds. It can also react with Garner type aldehydes to form the corresponding secondary alcohols. | | Preparation | reaction of methyl chloride and magnesium in anhydrous diethyl ether, usually in the presence of an initiator. | | Definition | ChEBI: Methylmagnesium chloride is an alkylmagnesium halide and a one-carbon compound. available as a solutionin tetrahydrofuran. | | Reactions | Methylmagnesium chloride can react with acidic hydrogen on oxygen, sulfur and alkyne carbon of compounds containing active hydrogen (such as water, alcohol, mercaptan, amine, amide, acid, sulfonic acid, etc.); Propyl bromide, etc.) undergoes a coupling reaction; it can react with oxygen and carbon dioxide, aldehydes, ketones, etc. | | Hazard | Flammable, dangerous fire and explosionrisk. | | reaction suitability | reaction type: Grignard Reaction |
