In this study, the selective 1,2-addition of diethylzinc to the ketone functionality of BM<sup>diPh</sup>IK [bis(1-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazolyl)ketone] is shown. The reaction product is isolated in a dimeric form with a planar Zn<sub>2</sub>(µ-O)<sub>2</sub>-motif keeping the two monomers together. This compound can serve as a model for reactive intermediates in the catalytic alkylation of ketones with diorganozinc reagents. Hydrolysis of this binuclear zinc compound leads to isolation of the C ...[more]
