Carbon–nitrogen bond cleavage in pyridine ring systems mediated by organometallic thorium(iv) complexes

Abstract

Thorium(IV) alkyl and aryl complexes of the type (C5Me5)2ThR2 (R = CH2Ph, Ph) have been found to mediate the facile ring-opening and dearomatization of the pyridine ring of pyridine N-oxide under ambient conditions to afford the first thorium η2-(O,N)-oximate complexes.
