In addition to electrophilic aromatic additions and selective reductions, zinc chloride is a Lewis acid that can be used to induce cycloaddition, substitution, and addition processes. It is also utilized in the transmetalation process for the creation of organozinc reagents.
Zinc chloride
Zinc chloride can be used as a catalyst in the:
- Chemoselective dimethyl acetalization of aldehydes and ketones with trimethyl orthoformate to synthesize dimethyl acetals.
- Synthesis of 9-substituted acridines via Bernthsen reaction.
