Abstract
Abstract N,N′ -Bis(3,5-di- tert -butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminocobalt(II) ( 1 ) catalyzes the reductive deoxygenation of epoxides by Na(Hg) in THF, with 5–10 catalytic turnovers. The simpler N,N′ -bis(salicylidene)-ethylenediaminocobalt(II) [Co(Salen) 2 ] ( 16 ) failed to catalyze deoygenations in THF but did in DMF.
