GRIGNARDS For more than 100 years, the chemistry of Grignard reagents (R-Mg-X) has been known for use as highly ver- satile tools for building carbon skeletons of complex organic molecules. What were origi- nally handled as products for captive use only, GFS made a conscious decision to sup- port our customer base by offering specialty Grignards for research and commercial needs. Although not a com- modity Grignard producer, GFS has the plant capacity to support specialty Grignards from lab scale through container volumes. Our focus remains on the specialty Grignards that stem from our existing product lines: • Alkyl Grignards (t-butyl MgBr, isopropyl MgBr, octyl MgCl, etc.) • Alkynyl Grignards (ethynyl MgCl, propynyl MgBr, heptynyl MgCl, etc.) • Olefinic Grignards (isopropenyl MgBr, Hexenyl MgBr, Octenyl MgCl, etc.) • Aryl Grignards (phenyl MgCl, 4-benzyloxyphenyl MgBr, 4-chlorophenyl MgBr) GFS Grignards can be supported in several solvents ranging from THF, butyl ether, methyl THF, diethyl ether, etc. Our ability to manufacture these internally helps our customers save reactor space and time in their manufacturing facilities. It also opens up the opportunity to go deeper with our customer base and provide the next step in their chemistry if interested. Our expanding Grignard line is available in bulk, typically made on demand and delivered in a timely manner. We also offer our customers 6
