Facile Synthesis of Well-Defined Sodium Hydridoalkylzincates(II)

Journal article, 2007

(Chemical Equation Presented) After you, Sir Edward: By following in the footsteps of Frankland and Wanklyn, it has been discovered that simple hydridoalkylzincates(II) (see picture) can be prepared in essentially quantitative yield from mixtures of sodium and an excess of neat dialkylzinc reagent, which also acts as solvent. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
