چکیده

A well-characterised 14-electron rhodium phosphine complex, [Rh(PiPr3)3][BArF4], which contains a beta-CH agostic interaction, is observed to undergo spontaneous dehydrogenation to afford [Rh(PiPr3)2(PiPr2(C3H5))][BArF4]; calculations on a model system show that while C-H activation is equally accessible from the beta-CH agostic species or an alternative gamma-CH agostic isomer, subsequent beta-H-transfer can only be achieved along pathways originating from the beta-CH agostic form.

Variable coordination modes and catalytic dehydrogenation of B-phenyl amine-boranes.

The chemistry of N-substituted amine-boranes and their reactivity towards transition metal centres is well established but the chemistry of B-substituted amine-boranes is not. Here we present the coordination chemistry of H2PhB·NMe3 towards a range of Rh(i) fragments with different P-Rh-P ligand bite angles, {Rh(P(i)Pr3)2}(+), {Rh(P(i)Bu3)2}(+), {Rh((i)Pr2P(CH2)3P(i)Pr2)}(+), {Rh(Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2...

Apparent alkyl transfer and phenazine formation via an aryne intermediate.

Treatment of chlorotriaryl derivatives 3a and 3d or fluorotriaryl derivatives 3b and 3e with potassium diisopropylamide afforded alkyl-shifted phenazine derivatives 5a/5b, rather than the expected 9-membered triazaorthocyclophane 2a. The phenazine derivatives were isolated in 78-98% yield depending on the halogen and alkyl group present. In the absence of the halogen (chloro or fluoro), the app...

Reduction of terphenyl iron(II) or cobalt(II) halides in the presence of trimethylphosphine: an unusual triple dehydrogenation of an alkyl group.

The reduction of {ArFeBr}(2) (Ar = terphenyl) with KC(8) in the presence of excess PMe(3) afforded the Fe(i) complex 3,5-Pr(i)(2)-Ar'Fe(PMe(3)) (1) (Ar'-3,5-Pr(i)(2) = C(6)H-2,6-(C(6)H(3)-2,6-Pr(i)(2))-3,5-Pr(i)(2)), which has a structure very different from the previously reported, linear Cr(i) species 3,5-Pr(i)(2)-Ar*Cr(PMe(3)) (3,5-Pr(i)(2)-Ar* = C(6)H-2,6-(C(6)H(2)-2,4,6-Pr(i)(3))(2)-3,5-Pr...
