Syntheses, characterization of N-functionalized benzyl zinc, cadmium and manganese (II) compounds
摘要:
Treatment of [LiL center dot TMEDA] (1) {L = [2-Me2NCH2C6H4CH(SiMe3)] } with half equivalent of ZnCl2, CdCl2 or MnCl2 in diethyl ether gave the crystalline compound [ML2] {M = Zn (2), Cd (3) and Mn (4)}, respectively. Reaction of 1 with one equivalent of ZnCl2 in diethyl ether afforded the crystalline compound [Zn(Cl)L center dot TMEDA] (5) in good yield. An eight-membered cyclic homoleptic binuclear compound [ZnL'](2) (6) {L' = [(2-Me2NCH2C6H4CH)(2)SiMe2](2) } was prepared from the reaction of (2-Me2NCH2C6H4CH2)(2)SiMe2 (B') with two equivalents of n-BuLi and one equivalent of ZnCl2. All of the crystalline compounds 1-6 were well characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses and single crystal Xray crystallography. In addition, moderate activity for the polymerization of rac-lactide to poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was found in compounds 2 and 5, and all the resulting polylactides are most predominantly heterotactic-rich.
