ChemInform Abstract: Complex Catalysis. Part 33. Influence of Anions (B(O2C6H4)‐ 2, CF3CO2, Br‐, I‐) on the Insertion Reaction of Hexa‐1,5‐diene into the Allyl Nickel(II) Bond. Preparation and Characterization of η2,η1,η2‐Nona‐ and ‐Deka‐1,8‐dien‐5‐yl‐nickel(II)‐bis(brenzcatechinato)borate.

Abstract

The η3‐allyl‐Ni(II) borates (I) react with hexa‐1,5‐diene (II) by an insertion reaction into the allyl‐Ni bond to give the corresponding title complexes (III).
