Direct Addition of Functionalized Organozinc Reagents to Carbon Dioxide, Ketones, and Aldehydes in the Presence of MgCl₂

Abstract

A variety of functionalized organozinc reagents undergo smooth addition reactions at ambient temperature to carbon dioxide, ketones, and aldehydes in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of MgCl₂. Several reactions were performed on a 20 mmol scale.

organozinc reagents - magnesium chloride - carbon dioxide - phenylacetic acid derivatives - addition reactions
