Grignard-reactions: reagent for the introduction of the ethyl group.

Grignard-reactions: reagent is used for the introduction of the ethyl group; metalation of CH-acidic compounds.

Methylating agent. Lithiation of organic compounds. The solution contains lithium bromide as a complexing agent. This increases selectivity and reduces reactivity of Methyllithium.

The use of a 'ready-made' dibutyl ether solution avoids the handling of the very hygroscopic and dusty ZnBr₂ and LiBr powder.

The ZnBr₂/LiBr dibutyl ether solution was developed mainly for the application in organic synthesis, e.g.:

Mercury Control Sodium Bromide is an aqueous solution of 40 wt.% sodium bromide salt.

Alkylating and metalating agent.

Grignard-reactions: reagent for the introduction of the ethyl group.

Grignard-reactions: reagent for the introduction of the ethyl group. As base for deprotonation reactions.

Grignard-reactions: reagent for the introduction of the tert-Butyl group. As base for deprotonation reactions. Strong, weakly nucleophilic base for deprotonation reactions.

Grignard reactions; reagent for introduction of the iso-propyl group.
