Abstract
The tetra-aryl substituted bis-guanidine ligand L(3H) (L(3H) = {(ArHN)(ArNH)-C=N-C=(NAr)(NHAr)}; Ar=2,6-iPr2-C6H3), was used for the synthesis of mononuclear zinc(II) alkyls [L(2H)ZnR, R = Me (Zn-1), Et (Zn-2)], iodide [L(2H)ZnI, (Zn-3)], hydride [L(2H)ZnH, (Zn-4)] complexes. Moreover, the reactions of Zn-1, Zn-2, and Zn-3 with [PhNMe2H]+ [B(C6F5)4]- yielded the biguanide zinc alkyls [L(3H)ZnR]+ [B(C6F5)4]-, R = Me (Zn-5), Et (Zn-6) and iodide [L(3H)ZnI]+ [B(C6F5)4]- (Zn-7) cationic compounds in good yields. All newly isolated and thermally stable zinc complexes (Zn-1 – Zn-7) were well characterized by multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, with additional ¹¹B and ¹⁹F{¹H} for Zn-5 - Zn-7), HRMS, and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Moreover, the well-defined zinc iodide cation (Zn-7) [L(3H)ZnI]+ [B(C6F5)4]- was further used as a catalyst for the synthesis of cyanohydrin enol ether products (RCR’CNOSiMe3) by TMSCN addition in carbonyl compounds (RCOR’, R’ = alkyl/aryl) under mild reaction conditions.
