Triorganozincates, symbolized as R3ZnM (M) Li, Na, etc.), are versatile reagents not only for the construction of carboncarbon bonds1 but also for the metalation of aromatic halides2 or vinyl halides. 3 As a new type of zincates, we reported that “highly coordinated” zincates, Me3Zn (R) Li2 (R) Me, CN, SCN) are synthetically useful for the metalation of aryl halides and for the selective transference of various organic moieties to carbonyl compounds (Figure 1). 4 On the basis of the excellent chemical yields and the chemoselectivity, these species were considered to be differentiated from ordinary triorganozincates, R3ZnLi. However, the reaction mechanism and the real structure of active species are a topic of controversial discussions.On the other hand, beginning in 1981, Lipshutz et al. published a series of papers about “higher order” mixed cuprates, R2Cu (CN) Li2, implying dianionic Cu (I) species containing three covalently bonded ligands on Cu, 5 and the structure of these cuprates has been a controversial issue. 6 However, recent studies on the structure revealed that R2Cu (CN) Li2 are not “higher order” cuprates, dianionic Cu (I) salts, but modified Gilman-type cuprates. 7 We now describe primary evidence supporting the existence of “highly coordinated” zincates, namely, tetracoordinated dianionic Zn (II) species, by use of EXAFS, 1H NMR, and Raman spectroscopic studies. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy probes the local structures, ie, the nature, number, and distance of near neighbors which surround atoms or ions, of a
