Abstract Magnesium- and zinc-TMP amides have come out from relative obscurity to be recognized as important tools in modern synthetic chemistry. Development of LiCl-activated metal amides like TMPMgCl·LiCl and TMP2Zn·2MgCl2·2LiCl has been important to obtain new organometallic reagents through highly chemo- and regioselective reactions. Herein, we review how these reagents are applied in the synthesis of important bioactive targets such as natural products and drugs.
