General description
Tebbe reagent is a Lewis acid stabilized organometallic compound, which is used to transform carbonyl groups into β-substituted methylenes. It also reacts with a wide range of carbonyl compounds, including esters, amides, and lactones to yield corresponding olefins.
Application
Tebbe reagent can be used:
- For the conversion of carbonyl groups of chlorophyll derivatives into the corresponding exo-methylene (or vinylidene) groups.
- In the synthesis of β-C-glycosides from 3-OH glycol esters.
- As a versatile methylenation reagent for the conversion of ketones and aldehydes to olefins. It offers facile reaction with hindered ketones and allows the conversion of esters to vinyl ethers.
- To olefinate aldehydes.
- To methylenate a chiral polyhydroxyketone with high diasteroselctivity.
Packaging
The 25 mL Sure/Seal™ bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.
