25. 2 with subsequent formation of elemental zinc.
26. 2 was repeated several times, in all cases yielding mixtures of 1-5 with up to 5% 5. Single crystals of 5 (mixture together with 2) were isolated from different reaction batches after fractional crystallization from solutions in npentane at -30 °C and identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
27. The methine H atom (C1H) is the only resonance of the Cy group that clearly indicates the formation of multiple species since the resonances of other H atoms of this group (C2H-C6H) are rather broad and overlap.
28. 1H NMR spectroscopic studies, 5 was only formed in three different reactions when the carbodiimide was used as received. In contrast, no indication for the formation of 5 was found in reactions with purified carbodiimide.
