The controlled oxygenation of ethylzinc complexed with a tridentate pyrroloimine leads to an unprecedented transformation of the resulting ethylperoxide into an acetate. The zinc acetate appears to form without involvement of redox‐active metal centers by a combination of OO bond activation and multiple rearrangements of ZnO . and . OEt radical species.
