Application

(2-Ethylhexyl)magnesium bromide (Grignard reagent) can be used in the synthesis of:       
  • 3-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)heptan-1-amine, a pyridyl amine ligand, which is used in the polymerization of olefins.   
  •  Diphenylbis(2-ethylhexyl) germane from diphenylgermanium dichloride by Grignard addition reaction.       
  • Dichloro (dodecyl) 2-ethylhexylsilane, a key intermediate that is used in the preparation of silafluorene-based copolymers.
