Electrochemically generated anions of Co and Ni chelate complexes can be alkylated with BunBr, BunI, and (dmgH)2CoMe (dmgH is the dimethylglyoximate anion). Unlike the anionic Co complexes, the anionic Ni complex cannot be alkylated with BunBr; however, it reacts with stronger alkylating agents (BunI and (dmgH)2CoMe). It is assumed that the electrochemical alkylation of the Ni complex with (dmgH)2CoMe can serve as a model for alkylation occurring in biological synthesis of acetyl coenzyme A. Reactions of some Co chelate anions with BunI can proceed via the reduction of the latter.
