REACTION OF ALKENES AND DIENES WITH t-BUTYLMAGNESIUM HALIDES AND ZIRCONOCENE DIHALIDES. A CONVENIENT PROCEDURE FOR HYDROZIRCONATION AND A NOVEL t-BUTYLZIRCONATION OF CONJUGATED ALKENES

The reaction of nonconjugated monosubstituted alkenes with t-BuMgCl and Cl2ZrCp2 at room temperature produces the corresponding monoalkylzirconium derivatives in high yields, while conjugated alkenes undergo either a novel t-butylzirconation or hydrozirconation depending on the reaction conditions.
