General description

Ethynylmagnesium bromide solution, also known as bromoethynylmagnesium, is a grignard reagent that is commonly used in the synthesis of polymers, and unsaturated phosphonites.

Application

Ethynylmagnesium bromide solution can be used in:
  • Grafting of aliphatic polymer.
  • Synthesis of anthracene-containing species like 1,8-dichloro-10-(ethynyl)anthracene.
  • The preparation of the alkyne component in an enyne cross-metathesis leading to conjugated dienes.
  • Ethynylation of chiral α-(dibenzylamino) aldehydes.
  • The synthesis of ethynyl aziridines.
  • To prepare alkyl(triethynyl)germanes from tert-alkyltrichlorogermanes and 2-butyltrichlorogermane.
  • The preperation of a key intermediate in the total synthesis of (+)-4-demethoxydaunomycin.
