The synthesis of dipropyl- and diisopropylzinc in the reaction of propyl and isopropyl iodide with zinc and a zinc-iron mixture at the gas-solid boundary in a flow-type system was studied. It was shown that the reaction leads to synthesis of the dialkylzinc or dissociation of the dialkylzinc and alkyl iodide, depending on the process temperature. During the reaction of propyl iodide with zinc or the zinc-iron mixture the propyl radical undergoes isomerization within the complex and diisopropylzinc is formed.
