| | Benzylmagnesium chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Light gray to dark amber-grey slurry or solution | | Uses | Benzyl magnesium chloride is used as a Grignard reagent in greener solvent, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF). It is also used as organic chemical synthesis intermediate. | | Uses | Benzylmagnesium chloride (Grignard reagent) can be used as an alkylating reagent:
- For alkylating quinolyl-functionalized Cp?chromium(III) complexes which are used as precursors for the preparation of active olefin polymerization catalysts.
- In the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzopyran-4-ones, 6-chloro-8-methylpurine derivative, and phenylalanine derivatives.

These compounds can be obtained as a formula “RMgX” by the reaction of halogenated hydrocarbons with magnesium metal in anhydrous solvents such as diethyl ether,1) and have been widely used in organic synthesis.
Grignard reagents are usually used as solutions, and they are typically grayish white ~ light brown clear solutions. They generally exist in an equilibrium between alkyl magnesium halides (RMgX) and dialkyl magnesium (R2Mg), which form equilibrium mixtures with complicated compositions (called “Schlenk equilibrium”).2) Furthermore, some of these species may cause precipitation due to their lower solubility. However, there is no problem in actual use.
In the case of precipitation being formed:
Please use it after gently shaking the bottle to fully disperse the suspension (If the amount of precipitation is very small, you can use the top clear layer of the suspension). Especially in cold conditions such as in winter, a large amount of precipitate may frequently form. In this case, please use it after crushing the solid with a dried glass stick. Alternatively, you can also use it the following. The bottle is put into a plastic bag and soaking in a water bath with warming at 40 degree C to dissolve the solid. Please be careful of volatilization of the organic solvent when the bottle is unsealing. | | Precautions | It reacts violently with water. Air & moisture sensitive. Incompatible with oxidizing agents and bases. |
