Abstract
O what a reaction: The oxygenation of Me2Zn⋅tBu-DAB (tBu-DAB=1,4-di-tert-butyl-1,4-diazabutadiene) affords the unprecedented oxo(methylperoxide) cubane 1, the corresponding double cubic oxo(methoxide) 2, and the CC coupled dinuclear methoxide [(MeZn)2(tBu-DAB-DAB(H)-tBu)(μ-OMe)], the formation of which involves initial ZnOOMe bond homolysis.
