O)magnesium(II)In the title Grignard reagent, [MgBr(C12H9)(C5H10O)2], the Mg centre adopts a distorted tetrahedral MgCO2Br arrangement. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of the biphenyl residue is 44.00 (14)°. Each molecule incorporates one R- and one S-configured 2-methyltetrahydrofuran molecule.
This compound is commercially available from Chemetall GmbH (CAS 82214–69-5, Product No. 408562). Colourless blocks of (I) were obtained from a solution due to long term storage at ambient temperature.
The H atoms bonded were geometrically positioned and refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [U(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or U(H) = 1.5 Ueq(Cmethyl)] using a riding model with Caromatic—H = 0.95 Å, Cmethyl—H = 0.98 Å, Cmethylene—H = 0.99Å and Ctertiary—H = 1.00 Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound is a Grignard reagent, a kind of compounds which is widely used for C—C bond formation or as base in organic chemistry. The Mg centre is four coordinate in a distorted tetrahedral fashion. The bond angles range from 97.02 (1)° for O—Mg—O to 120.53 (8)° for C—Mg—Br. The bond lengths are 2.4750 (10)Å for Mg—Br, 2.143 (3)Å for Mg—C and 2.022 (2)° and 2.030 (2)Å for the Mg—O bonds. The dihedral angles between the two aromatic rings of the biphenyl residue is 44.00 (14)°.
