Transmetalation polyfunctional organozinc halide

In summary, the direct insertion of zinc dust to organic halides is an excellent method for preparing a broad range of polyfunctional organozinc halides bearing various functional groups like an ester" , an ether, an acetate" , a ketone, cyano", halide" , N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amino °, primary and secondary amino, amide, phthalimide , sulfide, sulfoxide and sulfone , boronic ester , enone " or a phosphonate . An alternative method is based on transmetalation reactions.
