Titanium alkoxyimido (TiN–OR) complexes: reductive N–O bond cleavage at the boundary between hydrazide and peroxide ligands†
Abstract
The first Group 4 alkoxyimido compounds are reported. The TiN–OtBu group in Ti(N2NMe)(NOtBu)(py) undergoes facile 2-electron N–O bond cleavage with PhCCMe as the reductant to form a 1,2-diamidoalkene groupvia two highly selective N–C bond forming events.
