Isobutylmagnesium Bromide(CAS: 926-62-5)

Isobutylmagnesium bromide is a Grignard reagent, a highly reactive organomagnesium compound with the chemical formula (CH3)2CHCH2MgBr. It is commonly used in organic synthesis due to its ability to form new carbon–carbon bonds.

Isobutylmagnesium bromide is primarily used in organic synthesis for the preparation of substituted alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. It is also utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a reducing agent in chemical research.

Isobutylmagnesium bromide is highly flammable and can react violently with water and air. It is classified as a hazardous material. Proper handling and storage in a fume hood or inert atmosphere are required to prevent fires and explosions. Protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn at all times.

Isobutylmagnesium bromide should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and sources of ignition. It should be kept in a sealed, dark, tightly sealed container to prevent exposure to light and air. Ideal storage conditions are below 20°C and in a fume hood or inert atmosphere to ensure safety.
