Abstract

The preparation of chiral non-stabilized open-chain alkyl­lithium reagents prepared from the corresponding chiral secondary alkyl iodides and their subsequent transmetalation to the corresponding secondary alkylcopper or alkylzinc derivatives is reviewed. These new organometallic reagents allow the stereoselective preparation of a broad range of chiral molecules.
