Application

Ethylmagnesium bromide serves as a versatile reagent essential for synthesizing zirconium complexes with two phenoxy-imine chelate ligands, which are used in olefin polymerization. Typically sold as a dark brown solution, it can be dissolved in various ethers, such as diethyl ether, butyl ether, isopropyl ether, THF, and anisole. As a Grignard reagent, ethylmagnesium bromide can react with water to yield ethane, demonstrating its role in reactions like the conversion of ethyl acetate, in the presence of styrene and titanium(IV) isopropoxide, to yield (Z)-1-methyl-2-phenylcyclopropanol, offering a 42% yield.
