Efficient Synthesis of Functionalized Organozinc Compounds by the Direct Insertion of Zinc into Organic Iodides and Bromides

Abstract

Insider dealing: A wide range of polyfunctional (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic zinc reagents can be easily prepared in THF. The compounds are formed by a Zn insertion reaction mediated by the addition of LiCl (see scheme; All=allyl).
