Ethyl magnesium bromide is prepared by the reaction of magnesium metal with bromoethane in anhydrous ether. The relative density of the commercially available product (ether solution) is about 1.01. It is used in the Grignard reaction, similar to ethyl magnesium chloride, which is a solution of ether or tetrahydrofuran with a relative density of 0.85Chemicalbook. Properties Ethyl magnesium bromide is generally present and used in solution form, soluble in ether, butyl ether, isopropyl ether, THF, and anisole. Uses Ethyl magnesium bromide is a useful reagent for the preparation of zirconium complexes with two phenoxyimine chelated ligands for olefin polymerization.
