Commercial Scale Organozinc Reagents

 Commercial Organozinc Reagents in Conjunction with BASF

Organometallic compounds, such as Grignard and organolithium regeants, are widely used as intermediates in chemical synthesis.  Organozinc halide reagents can react with a variety of organic electrophiles in the presence of transition-metals such as copper, palladium, and nickel.

This reactivity, combined with unique functional group tolerances, will allow access to a broad range of polyfunctional molecules without the need for tedious protection/deprotection steps. Because of their unique functionality and targeted reactivity, organozinc halide reagents serve as better alternatives to traditional Grignard and organolithium compounds.
