Application

2,6-Dimethylphenylmagnesium bromide can be used:
  • As an intermediate in the synthesis of dibutyl(5,10-dihydro-1,9-di-p-toluoyl-5-p-tolyldipyrrinato)tin(IV), which is further used in the preparation of zinc-based porphyrin.
  • As a substrate in the preparation of substituted fluorenes by reacting with 2-substituted arenesulfonates and dihaloarenes.
