CAS 4294-57-9: p-Tolylmagnesium bromide

p-Tolylmagnesium Bromide is a Grignard reagent that is used in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize new compounds and is an important reagent in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. In this reaction, the Grignard reagent reacts with a halide to form an organometallic intermediate. The nucleophile (typically an alcohol) then attacks the carbon atom of the organometallic intermediate, displacing one of its bromine atoms and forming a new carbon-carbon bond. The magnesium can also be replaced by other metals such as zinc or lithium. p-Tolylmagnesium Bromide is often used as a catalyst for cationic polymerization reactions. It is also used to remove chlorine from chlorides, fluorine from fluoroalkanes, sulfides from sulfoxides, and tosylates from tosylate esters. p-Tolylmagnesium Bromide has
