Abstract

Abstract 2-Carboethoxyethylzinc iodide and 3-carboethoxypropylzinc iodide are generated by the reaction of the corresponding iodoesters with Zn-Cu couple and utilized for the palladium catalyzed coupling reaction with acid chloride to quantitatively provide gamma- and delta-keto esters, respectively.
