Metal groups zinc derivatives

A somewhat surprising group of coordination compounds consists of the volatile heavy metal nitrates, such as those of copper, zinc, mercury, titanium, zirconium and hafnium. The structures of some of these, in the gaseous state, have been determined thus Cu(N03)2 contains two bidentate, almost planar, staggered nitrato groups. Some derivatives of metal nitrates have also been found to be volatile for example, Fe(N03)3 N204 and Al(N03)3 2MeCN.39... 

Polar functional groups of the additives are adsorbed on metal surfaces and this provides a barrier to prevent corrosive materials from contacting the metallic surfaces. Zinc dithiophosphates, dithiocarbamates and benzotriazoles are commonly used to protect copper-lead bearings from the type of corrosion present at concentrations of 50 to 300 mg/kg of oil. Rust inhibitors derived from sulfonates and amines also form absorbed films on ferrous metal, which prevents corrosive material from reaching the metal surface. 

This chapter is intended to highlight recent results in the fields of intra- and intermolecular carbometallation, but we will concentrate only on the chemistry of lithium and zinc derivatives. Although the Group IV metallocene-mediated reductive cyclizations of enynes [36] and dienes [36], and the use of transition metals of Group VIII, as well as the more recent development of the organolanthanide chemistry [37] followed by selective reaction with different electrophiles [36], represent an important methodology for the construction of polysubstituted carbocycles, they will not be addressed here. 

It is of practical use for metals whose alkyl derivatives are commercially easily available, namely, lithium and magnesium. Metal hydrides can be used as starting material mainly for alkali and alkaline-earth metals. Although Zn(OR)2 alkoxides derived from classic OR groups are insoluble soluble tetranuclear zinc alkyl or hydridoalkoxides [ZnX(OR )]4 (X = R or H) can be obtained starting from zinc alkyls or hydride [30,31]. 

Rao et al. measured y< > values of a series of metal containing tetrabenzoporphyrin derivatives in tetrahydro-furan employing the DFWM technique at 532 nm. The chemical structures of these porphyrins and their abbreviated names are listed below (Figure 31, Table 1). These benzoporphyrins were substituted at the 5,10,15,20-positions with a variety of functional groups such as m-fluorophenykp-methoxyphenyl and p-methylphenyl. Values as high as 2.8 x 10 esu for y were observed for zinc... 

Dehalogenation of monochlorotoluenes can be readily effected with hydrogen and noble metal catalysts (34). Conversion of -chlorotoluene to Ncyanotoluene is accompHshed by reaction with tetraethyl ammonium cyanide and zero-valent Group (VIII) metal complexes, such as those of nickel or palladium (35). The reaction proceeds by initial oxidative addition of the aryl haHde to the zerovalent metal complex, followed by attack of cyanide ion on the metal and reductive elimination of the aryl cyanide. Methylstyrene is prepared from -chlorotoluene by a vinylation reaction using ethylene as the reagent and a catalyst derived from zinc, a triarylphosphine, and a nickel salt (36). 

An approach to isobacteriochlorins1 ln-e makes use of Pd(II) or metal-free bilatrienes 1 as starting materials. Cyclization of the corresponding bilatriene derivatives is induced by base in the presence of palladium(II) or zinc(II) which exercise a template effect. Zinc can be readily removed from the cyclized macrotetracycles by acid whereas palladium forms very stable complexes which cannot be demetalated. Prior to the cyclization reaction, an enamine is formed by elimination of hydrogen cyanide from the 1-position. The nucleophilic enamine then attacks the electrophilic 19-position with loss of the leaving group present at the terminal pyrrole ring.
