While (Ph CN )B(C F ) is unstable, single electron transfer from Cp* Co affords the isolation of stable products [Cp* Co][Ph CNNHB(C F ) ] 1 and [CpCo(C Me CH B(C F ) )] 2. The analogous combination of Ph CN and BPh showed no evidence of adduct formation and yet single electron transfer from Cp Cr affords the species [Cp* Cr][PhC(C H )NNBPh ] 3 and [Cp* Cr][Ph CNNHBPh ] 4. Computations showed both reactions proceed via transient radical anions of the diphenyldiazomethane-borane adducts to effect C-H bond activations.
虽然(PhCN)B(CF)不稳定,但来自CpCo的单电子转移使得能够分离出稳定产物[CpCo][PhCNNHB(CF)]1和[CpCo(CMeCHB(CF))]2。PhCN和BPh的类似组合没有形成加合物的迹象,但来自CpCr的单电子转移产生了物种[CpCr][PhC(CH)NNBPh]3和[CpCr][PhCNNHBPh]4。计算表明,这两个反应都是通过二苯基重氮甲烷-硼烷加合物的瞬态自由基阴离子进行的,以实现C-H键活化。
