Ethyl magnesium chloride is a chemical compound from the group of Grignard compounds , which belong to the organometallic compounds .

Extraction and presentation

Ethyl magnesium chloride can be obtained by reacting ethyl chloride with magnesium .

{\ displaystyle {\ ce {C2H5Cl + Mg -> CH3CH2MgCl}}}

properties

Ethyl magnesium chloride is sold commercially as a colorless to brownish solution in diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran .

The compound reacts with water.

{\ displaystyle {\ ce {C2H5MgCl + H2O -> CH3-CH3 + Mg (OH) Cl}}}

use

Ethyl magnesium chloride can be used for production of other chemical compounds (for example, n -Propylbenzol , tetraethyl lead and alkyltin compounds) may be used.

safety instructions

Since the heat of decomposition of Grignard reagents with water is great and the solvents in which they are dissolved become highly volatile and flammable, they must be handled with extreme care.
