Abstract

A new application of zincate [(THF) Li (TMP)(tBu) Zn (tBu)](1) in alkali-metal mediated zincation (AMMZn) is reported by isolating and structurally defining the first intermediates of direct lateral zincation (DlZn) of trimethyl (phenoxy) silane (2) both of which adopt novel six- element {ZnCSiOLiN} ring structures.
