C-H rather than O–H activation: synthesis and molecular structure of a cationic cis-hydrido-σ-acetylide complex of rhodium
Abstract
Terminal alkynes, including those with acidic O–H groups, react with [Rh(PMe3)4]Cl in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or in water yielding cis-hydrido-σ-acetylide complexes via C-H activation; the molecular structure of cis-[Rh(PMe3)4(H)(C
C–CH2OH)]Cl has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
