Abstract
Reactions of diethylzinc with dihydric phenols such as pyrocatechol and saligenin in a molar ratio of 1 1 yield zinc pyrocatecholate and ethylzinc 2-hydroxymethylphenoxide, whereas a molar ratio of 3 2 gives zinc bis(2-ethylzincoxyphenoxide) and zinc bis(2-ethylzincoxyphenylmethoxide), respectively. The latter ethylzinc-oxygen compounds, containing zinc diphenoxide — or zinc dimethoxide — units complexed internally by ethylzinc groups, form monomeric species in 1,4-dioxane.
