The tantalum-catalyzed carbozincation of 1-alkenes with zinc dialkyls
The TaCl5-mediated reaction between monosubstituted alkenes and Et2Zn affords 3-(R-substituted)-n-butylzincs in high yield (up to 92%) and regioselectivity. Organozinc reagents bearing a longer alkyl chain (R = Prn, Bun, Amn, Hexn) react with 1-alkenes in the presence of TaCl5 as the catalyst to give two types of organozinc compound having iso-alkyl structure. The probable mechanism of the carbozincation reaction implies the formation of β-substituted and β,β'-disubstituted tantalacyclopentanes as the key intermediates. The thermodynamic probability of the mechanistic elementary stages for the ethylzincation of terminal alkenes has been estimated using DFT PBE/SBK method.

Regioselective and Diastereoselective Alkyl-Alkene and Alkene-Alkene Coupling Promoted by Zirconocene and Hafnocene
The reaction of Cp2Zr(CH2CH2R1)2 with a monosubstituted terminal alkene (H2C=CHR2) can produce, in a highly regio- and diastereoselective manner, zirconacyclopentane derivatives; the trans-3,4-disubstituted derivatives may be formed to the extents of >98percent in cases where both R1 and R2 are alkyl, while the trans-2-aryl-4-alkyl derivatives may be formed to the extents of >98percent in the coupling between a monoalkyl-substituted olefin and styrene or its derivative.
