Abstract

Organoaluminum derivatives are mostly appreciated for their Lewis acidity properties, but generally not considered as reagents of choice in synthetic transformations involving the creation of C–C bonds. Among these species, dimethylalkynylaluminum reagents represent a special class of compounds, with, in many cases, unique reactivity. This review summarizes the preparation and reactivity of these organometallic reagents with a focus on their synthetic potential.
