Organometallic reagents play an important role in the fields of medicine and chemical industry. my country’s high-end productivity needs to be improved.

Organometallic reagents are organic compounds formed by direct bonding between metal atoms and carbon atoms. They are key materials in organic synthesis and play an important role in addition reactions, substitution reactions, polymerization reactions and other fields. Organometallic reagents are a type of scientific research reagents. They are classified according to the different properties of the reagents. Scientific research reagents can be divided into two categories: chemical reagents and biological reagents. Organometallic reagents are chemical reagents.

Among metal elements, copper, iron, nickel, tin, manganese, chromium, platinum, titanium, cobalt, bismuth, germanium, lithium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, mercury and other elements can be used to prepare organic metal reagents. According to the “2021-2025 In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on Organometallic Reagents Industry” released by the Industrial Research Center, organic Metal reagents play an important role in the fields of chemistry and medicine and are indispensable materials in the research and production of related products. Divided according to application fields, organometallic reagents mainly include pharmaceutical grade and industrial grade, which can be widely used in medicine, pesticides, electronics, polymers, new materials, flavors and fragrances and other fields.

n-Butyllithium is a commonly used organometallic reagent. It is an alkaline liquid reagent that will react violently when exposed to water. It can spontaneously ignite if the concentration is too high in the air, and can burn when exposed to open flames or high heat. n-Butyllithium can be used as a lithiation reagent for compounds containing active hydrogen atoms, such as reacting with hydrocarbons containing more active hydrogen atoms; it can be used in lithium-halogen exchange reactions; it can react with carbon dioxide; it can perform addition reactions with alkenes; it can be used Used as a catalyst for the synthesis of polymer compounds, such as polyisoprene rubber, polybutadiene rubber, etc. Other common organometallic reagents include methyllithium, dimethylzinc, diethylzinc, triethylaluminum, etc.

Industry analysts said that globally, the main manufacturers of organometallic reagents include Albemarle of the United States and TCI of the United States. America, American Elements, AkzoNobel of the Netherlands, Tosoh Finechem of Japan, etc. After continuous development, my country’s production capacity of organometallic reagents has been continuously improved, but in terms of key technologies for high-end products, there is still a gap compared with leading foreign companies. With the continuous technological advancement of my country’s chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, the market demand for high-end organometallic reagents continues to grow, and there is an urgent need for industry technology upgrades.

In the key project of the “14th Five-Year Plan” national key research and development plan “Basic Scientific Research Conditions and Major Scientific Instruments and Equipment Research and Development”, the research and development of key technologies for the preparation of high-end metal and ligand reagents are proposed, and are widely used in coupling, oxidation, reduction, addition, Research on preparation methods and mass production technology of metal reagents for polymerization reactions, and develop metal reagents with independent intellectual property rights. With the support and promotion of national policies, my country’s production strength of organometallic reagents is expected to continue to increase in the future.
