Examples

“Zirconium-catalysed methylalumination of the propargylic and homopropargylic species (111) is uniformly highly regio- and stero-selective; the resulting alanes (112) are versatile olefin synthons.”

“The reaction is broad in scope with respect to R¹ in the single most important case of methylalumination.”

“The regio- and stereoselectivity of the overall reaction is determined solely by the selection of ligands in methylalumination reactions.”
