This reaction has been extensively modified, and these modifications in general can be grouped into five categories (a) different forms of active zinc, (b) other metallic reagents rather than zinc, (c) combination of zinc and other chemicals, (d) different catalysts, and (e) different reaction environment. So far, because of slow initiation of zinc in the traditional Reformatsky reaction, several types of activated zincs have been used, such as acid-washed...

Only copper can be electropolished in such a simple solution, but by minor modification other metals can be treated. Such modifications include (a) increasing the acidity, or (b) increasing the oxidant level for aluminium, iron and steel, nickel alloys etc ... 

Copper-zinc Copper-zinc alloys are deposited for two main purposes (a) as a decorative finish, e.g. on steel and (b) as a means of obtaining an adhesive bond of rubber to other metals. 

Where changes in appearance are of paramount interest, as in the case of metallic and organic coatings on steel or other metals, visual examination is most desirable. To facilitate ratings on such a basis, photographic standards have been employed, as, for example, in tests on chromium-plated steel undertaken by ASTM Committee B-8 on Electrodeposited Metallic Coatings . These ratings are supplemented by a shorthand description of the nature of the deterioration observed. 

These difficulties were overcome in a design developed by Subcommittee Vlll of ASTM Committee B-3 (Fig. 19.29). In this assembly each of the two middle specimens has a specimen of the other metal each side of it and only these middle specimens are considered in appraising the results. 

In the above route, zinc(II) can be replaced by other metal ions such as copper(II) and nickel(II). The pinacol approach to isobacteriochlorins has also been successfully applied to the synthesis of heme dj. 20a b... 

No single mechanism accounts for all the reactions. One pathway involves a concerted one-step process involving a cyclic transition state. This of necessity affords a c -product. Another possibility, more favoured in polar solvents, involves a cationic 5-coordinate intermediate [IrX(A)(CO)L2]+, which undergoes subsequent nucleophilic attack by B-. Other possibilities include a SN2 route, where the metal polarizes AB before generating the nucleophile, and radical routes. Studies are complicated by the fact that the thermodynamically more stable isolated product may not be the same as the kinetic product formed by initial addition. 

The test soln is prepd by dissolving about 5g of Ag nitrate in one liter of distd w. A black coloration is immediately produced on Mg or Mg alloy, the coloration being essentially reduced Ag. No coloration is noted on Al or its alloys, or most other metals. Zn and Cd will show a similar black coloration, but are much heavier (b) Vinegar or acetic acid test Ordinary vinegar or a weak soln of acet ac will give a bubbling reaction in contact with Mg, while other com-... 

Discussion of other metals and alloys and of the isotope effect will be published later. I am grateful to Professor B. T. Matthias for having encouraged me to work on this problem. 

Organometallic compounds can be hydrolyzed by acid treatment. For active metals such as Mg, Li, and so on, water is sufficiently acidic. The most important example of this reaction is hydrolysis of Grignard reagents, but M may be many other metals or metalloids. Examples are SiRs, HgR, Na, and B(OH)2- Since aryl Grignard and aryllithium compounds are fairly easy to prepare, they are often used to prepare salts of weak acids, for example,...
