Abstract
The advantages of zinc catalysts, such as their low toxicity, low cost, and environmentally benignity, are encouraging organic chemists to explore their applications in organic synthesis, especially in total synthesis. Numerous applications have been developed over the past few decades. This chapter will summarize the main contributions in this field.
