Rieke-Organozinc

Now available exclusively from Aldrich!

Organozinc compounds, first prepared by Frankland in 1848,1 are used extensively in organic synthesis today. Interestingly, the choice of preparative route to organozinc reagents of the type RZnX (R=alkyl, aryl; X=halide)2-5 does play an important role in the reactivity and stability of these compounds. Aldrich now offers a comprehensive line of Rieke® Organozinc Reagents that are stable as solutions in tetrahydrofuran. These reagents have different reactivity and selectivity properties than the analogous Grignard Reagents, and are employed in cross-coupling reactions,6-8 Michael additions, and electrophilic amination reactions.9 If you do not see the compound you need, please let us know. Your new product suggestions are always welcome!
