Abstract

Direct reaction of [Zn(OH)(L)](+), L = cis, cis-1,3,5-tris[(E, E)3-( 2-furyl) acrylideneamino] cyclohexane, with methanol gives a mixture of the starting material and [ Zn(OMe)(L)](+); structural analysis of the complexes shows that they are models of reactive intermediates in the catalytic cycles of the zinc enzymes carbonic anhydrase and liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
