Group VI metal aminoborylene complex-catalyzed demercuration reactions of bis(alkynyl)mercurials†
Abstract
The first catalytic application of the Group VI metal borylene complexes [(CO)5MBN(SiMe3)2] involves the demercuration reaction of bis(alkynyl)mercurials, [Hg(CCR)2], with formation of a series of buta-1,3-diynes.
