Unexpected regioselectivity in the coupling of π-coordinated tritylallene with an amido ligand in molybdenum complex

Abstract

Coupling of π-coordinated tritylallene with an amido ligand was unexpectedly found to take place at the terminal carbon in the reaction of [Cp(CO)₃Mo(η²-CH₂[double bond, length half m-dash]C[double bond, length half m-dash]CHCPh₃)][BF₄] 1, with three secondary amines (dimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine).
