NMR-scale reactions of several group 4 metallocene dimethyls with either trityl chloride or benzyl
bromide gave the corresponding L2M(Me)X complexes
selectively. Five reactions, including syntheses of Cp2Zr(Me)Cl and Ind2Zr(Me)Cl, were conducted on a preparative scale to afford useful isolated yields of L2M(Me)Cl complexes.
