Migratory insertion reactions of nickel and palladium σ-alkyl complexes with a phosphinito-imine ligand†‡
Abstract
(CH2CMe2-o-C6
H4)(P–N)], where P–N is the phosphinito-
N(2,6-C6H3(iPr)2. The protic acid [H(OEt2)(BAr′4)] (Ar′ = 3,5-C6H3(CF3)2) selectively cleaves one of the two σ metal–carbon bonds, affording cationic monoalkyl complexes. Nickel monoalkyls stabilized with Et2O or MeCN
