Ya. Gao et al., FIRST PRACTICAL HYDROZINCATION OF DIENES CATALYZED BY CP(2)TICL(2) - GENERATION OF ALLYLZINC REAGENT AND ITS REACTION WITH CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(19), 1994, pp. 5521-5523
The first practical hydrozincation of butadiene and 2-alkylbutadienes
has been achieved by a combination reagent including ZnI2, LiH, and Cp
(2)TiCl(2) in a ratio of 1:2.2:0.1 to yield the corresponding allylzin
c reagents in THF, which, in turn, react with a variety of carbonyl co
mpounds.
