Preparation of Solid Salt‐Stabilized Functionalized Organozinc Compounds and their Application to Cross‐Coupling and Carbonyl Addition Reactions

Powdered organozinc reagents: Various aryl and heteroaryl bromides as well as benzylic chlorides react with Mg and Zn(OPiv)2⋅2 LiCl (OPiv=pivalate) to provide solid organozinc reagents after solvent evaporation. These powders can be stored at room temperature under argon for months and can be manipulated in air for a short time. They undergo smooth Negishi cross-coupling and carbonyl addition reactions (see scheme). Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
