Description:
The synthesis and characterization of ethyl{2-[(phenylamino)methyl]phenoxy}zinc ( 1 ) and ethyl{2-[(propan-2-ylideneamino)methyl]phenylamido}zinc ( 2 ) are reported. The phenoxide 1 was prepared starting from 2-(phenylaminomethyl)phenol and diethylzinc and the phenylamide 2 was obtained from 2,2-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline and diethylzinc. The compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy ( 1 H, 13 C{ 1 H}), IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TGA measurements, and X-ray structure analysis. In the solid state both compounds form dimers where ( 1 ) 2 · 4thf shows a planar Zn 2 O 2 and ( 2 ) 2 a planar Zn 2 N 2 unit. Noteworthy, the aminal ring of 2,2-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline was opened by its reaction with diethylzinc to give an ylidene moiety at the benzylic nitrogen atom.
