Zinc promoted addition of methyl 2,2-dihalocarboxylates to carbonyl compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608004648

Methyl 2,2-dihalocarboxylates add easily to carbonyl compounds in fair to good yields through the intermediate formation of 2-haloester enolates; the reaction is promoted by zinc, following a "Barbier" type procedure.
