Facile dichloromethane activation and phosphine methylation. Isolation of unprecedented zwitterionic organozinc and organocobalt intermediates

Abstract

Both C–Cl bonds of CH2Cl2 are readily activated by CoCl2 and metallic Zn allowing quantitative methylation of phosphines; unprecedented zwitterionic Co(II) and Zn(II) intermediates have been characterized which display α-metallated phosphoniums.
