title: Zirconocene-catalyzed sequential ethylcarboxylation of alkenes using ethylmagnesium chloride and carbon dioxide.
abstract: The zirconocene-catalyzed sequential ethylcarboxylation of alkenes using ethylmagnesium chloride and carbon dioxide has been developed. A range of alkenes were transformed into the corresponding carboxylic acids in high yields.
