Oxygenation of a Me₂Zn/α‐Diimine System: A Unique Zinc Methylperoxide Cluster and Evidence for Its Sequential Decomposition Pathways

Abstract

O, was für eine Reaktion: Die Oxygenierung von Me2Zn⋅tBu-DAB (tBu-DAB= 1,4-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-diazabutadien) liefert das neuartige Oxo(methylperoxid)-Cuban 1, das entsprechende doppelt cubische Oxo(methoxid) 2 und das C-C-verknüpfte zweikernige Methoxid [(MeZn)2(tBu-DAB-DAB(H)-tBu)(μ-OMe)], dessen Bildung mit der Homolyse einer ZnO-OMe-Bindung beginnt.
