Novel intramolecular Michael-type reactions between vinyldiphenylphosphine and pentamethylcyclopentadienyl coordinated to rhodium(III): formation and X-ray structures of heptadentate 10-electron donor ligands
Abstract
The reaction between vinyldiphenylphosphine and [{(η5-C5Me5)RhCl2}2] proceeds via an intramolecular hydroalkyl addition to yield the two isomeric products 1aand 2a.
