Chloro(2-methylphenyl)magnesium, with the CAS number 33872-80-9, is an organomagnesium compound that belongs to the class of Grignard reagents. It is characterized by the presence of a magnesium atom bonded to a chloro group and a 2-methylphenyl group, which is derived from toluene. This compound typically appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. Chloro(2-methylphenyl)magnesium is highly reactive, particularly with water and moisture, leading to the release of hydrocarbons and the formation of magnesium hydroxide. It is commonly used in organic synthesis as a nucleophile for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the creation of various organic compounds. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, and stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent degradation. Safety precautions are essential when working with this reagent, as it can be flammable and corrosive.

2-Tolylmagnesium chloride is a Grignard reagent that can be used in the synthesis of organic compounds. It reacts with an acyl halide to form an organomagnesium compound. This reaction proceeds by nucleophilic substitution, which means that the magnesium replaces the halide on the acyl halide. The 2-tolylmagnesium chloride 1M solution in THF is used to synthesize monomers, which are molecules that are capable of linking together to form polymers. 2-Tolylmagnesium chloride 1M solution in THF is also used in cross-coupling reactions, which involve a metal acting as an electrophile and a metal complex acting as a nucleophile. This reaction is catalyzed by palladium complexes and can be used for asymmetric synthesis of chiral compounds.
