Nickel-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Zn–Zn Coupling to a Zn(I) Dimer and Its Reactivity
Abstract
High-yield access to a bis-guanidinate zinc(I) dimer was achieved via nickel-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of a zinc(II) hydride. Reactions of Zn(I) dimer with diphenyl dichalcogenides and sulfur resulted in the formation of zinc chalcogenolates and a rare zinc(II) hexasulfide, respectively. Protonolysis of the zinc chalcogenolates afforded zinc hydroxide or phenoxide complexes.
