Organozinc reagents and processes for preparing and using the same

摘要

Provided is an organozinc composition comprising (a) an organozinc complex carrying an allylic ligand, (b) a magnesium component and (c) a lithium component. The organozinc composition is useful as a synthetic intermediate with excellent reactivity and selectivity, and can be stored for extended periods of time without loss of activity. Moreover, a process for the preparation of the organozinc composition and synthetic procedures making use of the organozinc composition are provided.
