Abstract

Organozinc compounds are useful reagents which, since their discovery in 1849, have mainly been involved in nucleophilic addition reactions 1., and but also in cyclopropanation processes as carbene precursors. 2., , and The ability of these Zn II species to interact with other metals by transmetallation expanded the scope of organozinc chemistry. 3., , and However, to the best of our knowledge, dialkylzinc reagents have not yet been reported to be effective for the N- ...
