1-Bromo-3-chlorobenzene undergoes bromine-magnesium exchange reactions with i-PrMgCl-LiCl in THF at 0°C and is strongly accelerated by electron-withdrawing substituents. It acts as test substrate to study the application of a new catalytic system for cyanation of various aryl halides using K4[Fe(CN)6] as cyanating source.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
