Abstract
Various mixed diorganozinc reagents were prepared by the irradiation of die thylzinc and functionalized alkyl iodides. These species were shown to reac t with dihalomethane to form zinc carbenoids in a highly regioselective man ner. In some cases, the latter reagents proved to be effective cyclopropana ting reagents.
