Reformatsky reaction The Reformatsky reaction(sometimes spelled Reformatskii reaction) is an organic reaction which condenses aldehydes 1 (or ketones) with α-halo esters 2 with metallic zinc to form β-hydroxy-esters 3.It was discovered by Sergei Nikolaevich Reformatskii. The organozinc reagent, also called a 'Reformatskii enolate', is prepared by treating an alpha-halo ester with zinc dust. Reformatskii enolates are less reactive than Grignard reagents and hence nucleophillic addition to the ester group does not occur.
