Application

Phenethylzinc bromide can be used as a reagent:
  • In the transition metal-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reaction to prepare aryl or heteroaryl derivatives by reacting with organic halides or triflates via carbon-carbon bond formation.
  • To prepare (4-phenyl-1-butyn-1-yl)benzene by reacting with phenylacetylene via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction.
  • To synthesize benzyl substituted thienopyrimidine derivatives.
