Application

Iodomethylmagnesium is primarily used as a methylating agent in Grignard reactions, facilitating the introduction of methyl groups to carbonyl compounds (e.g., ketones, aldehydes). It is also employed in the synthesis of tertiary alcohols, carboxylic acids, and other organomagnesium intermediates. Its reactivity makes it valuable in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research for constructing carbon skeletons.
