Zirconium-benzyne complex is an important and highly reactive organometallic species. It can react with unsatu- rated substrates such as alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, nitriles etc. to form metallacyles. A large variety of metallacycles can be constructed by modifying the substitution patterns of the substrates, chemical ratio of reactants, different Cp ligands or reaction conditions and so on. These metallacycles are highly useful for further transformations through the reactions with different electrophiles. This review summarizes the synthetic methods of zirconium-benzyne complexes, reactions of zirco- nium-benzyne complexes with various unsaturated molecules leading to metaUacycles, and the applications of these metalla- cycles in organic chemistry. An outlook of zirconium-benzyne complexes in organic synthesis is also provided at the end of this review.
