PhZnCl
PhZnCl refers to phenylzinc chloride, an organometallic compound. It is a derivative of zinc where a phenyl group and a chloride atom are bonded to a central zinc atom. This compound is typically encountered as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions. Organozinc compounds, in general, are known for their moderate reactivity, making them useful for forming new carbon-carbon bonds under controlled conditions.
The synthesis of phenylzinc chloride can be achieved through various methods. One common approach involves the
Phenylzinc chloride finds application in reactions such as the Negishi coupling, where it reacts with organic
