Diisopropylzinc is an organozinc compound with the chemical formula ZnC6H14.[1]

It is the key reagent in the Soai reaction, which is both autocatalytic and enantiospecific.[2] This chemical is pyrophoric, bursting into flame in air or in contact with water. It is generally packaged in toluene. [3]
