Single electron transfer (SET) activity of the dialkyl-amido sodium zincate [(TMEDA)·Na(μ-TMP)(μ-tBu)Zn(tBu)] towards TEMPO and chalcone†‡
Abstract
More usually thought of as a base, the sodium zincate [(TMEDA)·Na(μ-TMP)(μ-tBu)Zn(tBu)] 1 can undergo single CHPh] gives [{(TMEDA)·Na(μ-TMP)Zn(tBu)}2(μ-OCPhCH
CHPhCHPhCH
CPh-μ-O)] which contains two chalcone units C–C coupled though their benzylic C atoms.
