Formation of the novel benzophenone sila-acylhydrazonato complex (η5-C5Me5)Cl3Ta[OC(SiMe3)NNCPh2] following addition of diphenyldiazomethane to an η2-sila–-acyl ligand
Abstract
The η2-sila-acyl complex cp*Cl3Ta(η2-COSiMe3)(cp*=η5-C5Me5)(1) reacts rapidly with diphenyldiazomethane to form cp*Cl3[graphic omitted]CPh2}(2), the first characterized product of reaction between an η2-acyl compound and a diazoalkane.
