The Zr-catalyzed methylalumination of heterosubstituted arylethynes containing O, S, Cl, and Si can proceed in high yields (>70%) and in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner (≥98-99%), although SO(2)Ph, Br, and Cl in a benzylic position present serious chemoselectivity-related problems. The low regioselectivity of 60% initially observed with o-ethynylphenol (1a) has been elevated to ≥98% through the use of either a catalytic amount of Zr(ebi)Cl(2) or Zr(2-Me-Ind)(2)Cl(2) or, more convenien ...[more]
