Abstract
Sequential addition of a magnesium amide and methyl magnesium chloride to zirconocene dichloride provides a practical synthesis of zirconoce ne methyl amides. Thermolysis of these zirconocene complexes in the pr esence of unactivated alkenes and alkynes gives, on protonolysis, alph a-alkylated or alpha-vinylated amines.
