The so-called Schwartz's reagent (1974) is a zirconocene hydrochloride and a reagent in hydrometalation reactions (called hydrozirconation) with some use in organic synthesis. Substrates for hydrozirconation are alkenes and alkynes. With terminal alkynes the terminal vinyl zirconium product is predominantly formed. Secondary reactions are nucleophilic additions, transmetalations, conjugate additions, coupling reactions, carbonylation and halogenation.
