Abstract

Various stable substituted benzylic zincs are formed in acetonitrile upon reaction of the bromide derivatives, in good yields, using a catalytic electrogenerated zinc species associated with massive zinc. In the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane, these organozincs react instantaneously with functionalized aromatic aldehydes.
