Reaction pathways for the oligomerization of organic isocyanides by tantalum hydride reagents
Abstract
The tantalum monohydride compound [Ta(OAr)2Cl2(H)(PMe2Ph)2](OAr = 2,6-diisopropylphenoxide) will react with one, two or three equivalents or organic isocyanides to produce a sequence of organometallic products resulting from initial insertion into the Ta–H bond and subsequent coupling reactions.
