Phenylmagnesium chloride is a chemical compound from the group of benzene derivatives and organometallic compounds and belongs to the Grignard compounds .
Extraction and presentation
Phenylmagnesium chloride can be obtained by reacting chlorobenzene with magnesium .
properties
Phenylmagnesium chloride is a highly flammable amber-colored liquid that decomposes in water to form benzene and magnesium hydroxide chloride . When heated, it decomposes, producing hydrogen chloride , carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide . The technical product is supplied as a 25% solution in tetrahydrofuran .
use
Phenylmagnesium chloride is used as a Grignard reagent ( Kumada-Corriu reaction ) to produce organic compounds (e.g. fentin and tetraphenyltin ).
safety instructions
Phenylmagnesium chloride vapors can form an explosive mixture with air.
