Lombardo methylenation
Named after Luciano Lombardo
Reaction type Organic redox reaction

In organic chemistry, the Lombardo methylenation is a name reaction that allows for the methylenation of carbonyl compounds with the use of Lombardo's reagent, which is a mix of zinc, dibromomethane, and titanium tetrachloride.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Applications

The Lombardo methylenation has been used in the total synthesis of tetrodotoxin[8] and hirustene.[9][10]
