The TaCl5-mediated reaction between monosubstituted alkenes and Et2Zn affords 3-(R-substituted)-n-butylzincs in high yield (up to 92%) and regioselectivity. Organozinc reagents bearing a longer alkyl chain (R = Pr-n, Bun, Am-n, Hex(n)) react with 1-alkenes in the presence of TaCl5 as the catalyst to give two types of organozinc compound having iso-alkyl structure. The probable mechanism of the carbozincation reaction implies the formation of beta-substituted and beta,beta'-disubstituted tantalacyclopentanes as the key intermediates. The thermodynamic probability of the mechanistic elementary stages for the ethylzincation of terminal alkenes has been estimated using DFT PBE/SBK method. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
