Accessing zinc( i ) via reductive elimination of cyclopentadienes
Abstract
The reaction between zincocenes and β-diketiminate zinc hydrides was investigated, and the compounds were found to undergo reductive elimination reactions, giving the corresponding zinc(I) species and cyclopentadienes as the elimination product. The zinc(I) compounds underwent disproportionation reactions in several cases and a ligand exchange reaction in one instance, which gave rise to octaisopropyldizincocene.
