Abstract

DOSY NMR studies (see picture; TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide; TMEDA=N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) reveal the true nature of the synthetically useful basic mixture formed by reacting three equivalents of LiTMP with one of (TMEDA)⋅ZnCl2 in THF. Surprisingly, Zn(TMP)2 is just a spectator of the mutual interactions shown between LiTMP and the LiCl coproduct released from the transmetalation/“salt elimination” reaction.
