Trialkylalanes, which are inert toward imines, undergo addition to them in the presence of a catalytic amount of dichlorodicyclopentadienylzirconium(IV) (Cp2ZrCl2). The reaction tolerates the presence of several functional groups in the starting imine such as halo, amide, nitrile, and hydroxy groups. A possible reaction pathway is proposed involving metallacyclic intermediates. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
