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

O what a reaction: The oxygenation of Me2Zn⋅tBu‐DAB (tBu‐DAB=1,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐1,4‐diazabutadiene) affords the unprecedented oxo(methylperoxide) cubane 1, the corresponding double cubic oxo(methoxide) 2, and the CC coupled dinuclear methoxide [(MeZn)2(tBu‐DAB‐DAB(H)‐tBu)(μ‐OMe)], the formation of w...

Description
Summary:	O what a reaction: The oxygenation of Me2Zn⋅tBu‐DAB (tBu‐DAB=1,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐1,4‐diazabutadiene) affords the unprecedented oxo(methylperoxide) cubane 1, the corresponding double cubic oxo(methoxide) 2, and the CC coupled dinuclear methoxide [(MeZn)2(tBu‐DAB‐DAB(H)‐tBu)(μ‐OMe)], the formation of which involves initial ZnOOMe bond homolysis.
