The photochemical reaction of Tp'Rh(L)(eta2-PhN=L) [Tp' = tris-(3,5-dimethyl pyrazolyl)borate, L = CNCH(2)CMe(3)] to form the coordinatively unsaturated reactive fragment, [Tp'Rh(L)], in the presence of alkylnitriles has been studied. The [Tp'Rh(L)] complex has been shown to selectively activate the primary C H terminus of acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, and valeronitrile. The resulting hydrides showed uncharacteristic stability in the presence of C(6)D(6) and their rates of reductive elimination were monitored by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Competition reactions permit the establishment of the relative stabilities of the activation products.
研究了 Tp'Rh(L)(η²-PhN=L) [Tp' = 三(3,5-二甲基吡唑基)硼酸酯,L = CNCH(2)CMe(3)] 在烷基腈存在下发生光化学反应形成配位不饱和反应性片段 [Tp'Rh(L)] 的过程。已证明 [Tp'Rh(L)] 配合物可选择性地活化乙腈、丙腈、丁腈和戊腈的一级 C-H 端基。所得氢化物在 C(6)D(6) 存在下表现出异常的稳定性,其还原消除速率通过¹H NMR 光谱进行监测。竞争反应有助于确定活化产物的相对稳定性。
