Abstract

Abstract 1,2,3,4-Tetrakis(t-butyl)tetraarsetane (t-C4H9As)4(4) has been synthesized by reduction of t-butylarsenic (III) diiodide (1) with equivalent quantities of either Mg, Ca, Zn, Li, or CoCp2 in THF at low temperatures in high yields. Treatment of 1 with CoCp2 in a molar ratio 1:1 in n-pentane at -78 °C leads to the formation of 1,2-di-t-butyl-1,2-diiododiarsine (2) (t-C4H9AsI)2 in 69 % yield. The products have been characterized by spectroscopic methods (H, 13C-NMR, EI-MS) and elemental analyses. The crystal structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods.
