These compounds have not been previously investigated. They offer the potential to synthesize new classes of organometallic reagents and a large variety of organic compounds in a highly stereoselective manner. The carbon-boron bond in organoboranes undergoes a large variety of transformations, making these useful reagents in synthesis.' The chemistry of organozirconium reagents is also well known.* Cleavage of the carbon-zirconium bond occurs with various electrophiles, generally under mild conditions, to provide access to products not readily available by organoborane chemistry. The different reactivities of the carbon-boron and carbon-zirconium bonds towards electrophiles are perhaps a consequence of the different electronegativities of boron and zirconium. Also, one is a transition metal while the other has intriguing transition-metal-like c h e m i ~ t r y .Thus carbonylation of the carbon~ zirconium bond4 occurs at 25
