Trimethylsilyl Chloride Aids in Solubilization of Oxidative Addition Intermediates from Zinc Metal

Erin M. Hanada,
Patrick J. McShea,
Suzanne A. Blum

Abstract: Trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) is commonly used to “activate” metal(0) powders toward oxidative addition of organohalides, but knowledge of its mechanism remains limited by the inability to characterize chemical intermediates under reaction conditions. Here, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) overcomes these prior limitations and shows that TMSCl aids in solubilization of the organozinc intermediate from zinc(0) metal after oxidative addition, a previously unknown mechanistic role. This mechanist… Show more

“…This observation is further supported by investigations by Hanada et al , demonstrating by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) the ability for TMSCl to solubilise organozinc reagents from the metal surface. 16 An alternative to injecting an activation injection to ‘wash’ the column would be to use a dilute activation solution as the system solvent flowing through the zinc column, as recently published. 13…”

“…They were comprised of two different batches of commercial zinc (to examine the reported synthetic batch‐to‐batch variation [24–26] ). After activation, the chemically activated samples were rinsed vigorously with clean solvents to remove residual activating agents, such that the impact of pretreatment could be studied independently of other processes [8] . A subset of samples were treated with only the associated rinsing steps to control for the effect of these manipulation steps in the absence of the key chemical activating agent (Table 1):…”

“…Six hypotheses were considered (Figure 4). The hypotheses hinge on the known high starting lifetimes of solution‐phase unreacted 1 and 3 in (5.5 ns) [8] and a drop in their respective lifetimes when in proximity a viable quenching agent [8,35,36] . Hypothesis 1: Distance from bulk zinc due to different zinc oxide layer thicknesses.…”
