Stabilized AlHCl₂·(THF)₂ hydroaluminates RC [triple bond, length as m-dash] CH with exceptional chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity under efficient ZrCl₂(η-C₅Me₅)₂ catalysis (2–5 mol%). The resulting vinyl alanes undergo palladium cross-coupling with a wide range of sp² electrophiles (aryl, heteroaryl and vinyl halides/pseudohalides) in good to excellent yields.
