Configurationally stable metal-centered chirality: stereospecific and regioselective rhodaacylation of alkynes controlled by the third generation of the [Cp′-P]H ligand
Abstract
The rhodium cationic complex [[η5∶η1-{3-(NIM)Ind-P} n = 2]Rh(CO)Me]BF4 (1) reacts with 1-phenylpropyne regioselectively and stereospecifically to afford the alkenyl complex [[η5∶η1-{3-(NIM)Ind-P} n = 2]Rh{η2-OC(CH3)- C(CH3)CPh}]BF4 (2).
