Application

Phenylmagnesium bromide (PhMgBr) solution is an organomagnesium reagent mainly used in Grignard reaction, which finds application as the key step in the synthesis of (S)-2(diphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine, a chiral solvating agent for the NMR analysis. PhMgBr can also undergo palladium-catalyzed Grignard coupling with alkyl chlorides to form the cross-coupled product in good yield.

Other Notes

Storage below 25°C may cause crystallization. Warm gently to redissolve solid.

A novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on Fe3O4 nanobeads immobilized on graphene (Fe3O4-MIP@RGO) has been developed for detecting 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) in water using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization technique. 17β-E2 can be detected by this electrochemical sensor
