Zinc Promoted Addition of Methyl 2,2-Dihalocarboxylates to Carbonyl Compounds

Abstract
Methyl 2,2-dihalocarboxylates add easily to carbonyl compounds in fair to good yields through the intermediate formation of 2-haloester enolates; the reaction is promoted by zinc, following a “Barbier” type procedure.
