Aufbaureaktion Redux: Scalable Production of Precision Hydrocarbons from AlR 3 (R=Et or i Bu) by Dialkyl Zinc Mediated Ternary Living Coordinative Chain‐Transfer Polymerization

Metal ménage à trois: Rapid and reversible chain transfer under living conditions between an active transition-metal propagating species, AlR3 as a primary surrogate, and a catalytic amount of ZnR2 as a secondary surrogate and chain-transfer mediator provides a cost-effective, scalable process for the production of precision hydrocarbons.
