Formation and reactivity of cationic alkyl derivatives of titanium containing ortho-(1-naphthyl)phenoxide ligation
Abstract
A series of dimethyl compounds of Ti(IV) have been isolated containing both cyclopentadiene and ortho-arylphenoxide ligation; reaction with [B(C6F5)3] generates corresponding cationic methyl species which eliminate methane and form [Cp(ArO)Ti{CH2B(C6F5)2}(C6F5)] derivatives.
