UsesFunctionalization of unsaturated systems via an organozirconium intermediate. Schwartz’s reagent is used in limited amounts in organic synthesis for the selective hydrozirconation of alkenes and alkynes. The reaction takes place rapidly and quantitatively at room temperature, forming zirconium alkyls or alkenyls that may be converted into useful functionalized derivatives. For example, reaction with carbon monoxide followed by removal of the zirconium-containing part of the molecule yields a variety of carbonyl compounds.
UsesBis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium hydridochloride is used in the conversion of amides to aldehydes. It is also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
PreparationSchwartz’s reagent is produced by reaction of zirconocene dichloride (Cp2ZrCl2) with LiAlH4 or LiAlH[OC(CH3)3]3 in THF solution. The commercial product (Alfa Ventron, Aldrich) is slightly pink.
