Diisopropylzinc is an organozinc compound with the chemical formula ZnC₆H₁₄.^[2]

It is the key reagent in the Soai reaction, which is both autocatalytic and enantiospecific.^[3] This chemical is pyrophoric, bursting into flame in air or in contact with water. It is generally packaged in toluene.^[4]
