Kinetic Control and Multiple Mechanisms for C-H Bond Activation by a Zr=N Complex

摘要

A promising approach to the functionalization of unactivated hydrocarbons (RH) involves a 1,2-RH-addition across metal- heteroatom multiple bonds [MX] (M=Groups 4-6,X=NR,CR2,CR,O) to afford products of general structure [M(XH)(R)].Extensive selectivity studies have been performed on Group 4 imido [M=NR'] systems that activate hydrocarbons under reversible conditions.
