Zinc and manganese are the reductants of choice for nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), but their exact redox potentials are unknown in organic solvents. In a recent report from Stahl and colleagues in Nature Chemistry, these potentials have been measured for the first time and their implications on model XEC reactions have been discussed.

定量分析有机溶剂中的锌和锰还原电位


锌和锰是镍催化的交叉亲电偶联 （XEC） 的首选还原剂，但它们在有机溶剂中的确切氧化还原电位尚不清楚。在 Stahl 及其同事最近在《自然化学》杂志上的一份报告中，首次测量了这些电位，并讨论了它们对模型 XEC 反应的影响。
