General description

Bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV) chloride hydride, also known as Schwartz′s reagent, is utilized as a catalyst in in olefin polymerization.

Application

Bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV) chloride hydride can be used:
  • To convert amides to aldehydes.
  • As a reagent for the functionalization of olefins and alkynes.
  • As a reducing agent in the preparation of (E)-vinyl organochalcogenides.
  • To prepare a dioxaborolane derivative, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of bridged-nicotine analogs.
