Sensitive functional groups are tolerated in an iodine-zinc exchange reaction catalyzed by Li(acac). Aryl and heteroaryl diorganozinc compounds with keto, aldehyde, or isothiocyanate substituents can be prepared by this method (see example in scheme; acac = acetylacetone, NMP=1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone). Such zinc reagents serve as substrates for a wide variety of coupling reactions.
