Abstract

Abstract Two new methods of preparation of functionalized diorganomercurials have been developed. The first method involves a substitution reaction of (ICH 2 Their transmetallation with zinc dust (toluene, 80 C, 3–5 h) affords dialkylzincs which add enantioselectively to aldehydes in the presence of a ca
