Introduction to compounds: Dimethylzinc, also known as Zinc methyl, DMZ, or DMZn is a colorless
mobile liquid Zn(CH3)2, formed by the action of methyl iodide on zinc at
elevated temperature or on zinc sodium alloy.
2Zn + 2CH3I → Zn(CH3)2 + ZnI2; The sodium assists the reaction of
the zinc with the methyl iodide. Zinc iodide is formed as a byproduct.
It has a disagreeable odor, and is pyrophoric.
It has been of great importance in the synthesis of organic compounds. It is
soluble in alkanes and often sold as a solution in hexanes. It belongs to the
large series of similar compounds such as diethylzinc.
