Stannylene insertion into an amino–stabilized iron-silylene complex. Synthesis of [(OC)3{(Me2N)2(RO)P}Fe{[NMe2Si(OR)2(SnNButSiMe2NHBut)]}](R = Me, Et)

Abstract

Reaction of the HNMe₂-stabilized iron-silylene complexes (1a,b) with the stannylene reagent [graphic omitted] Bu^t 2 occurs selectively by insertion into the N–H Bond to give novel types of base-stabilized silylene, stannylene complexes.
