Regioselective insertion of acrylonitrile into the platinum-nitrogen bond of hydrido(phenylamido)bis(triethylphosphine)platinum(II). A model step for olefin amination

Transition‐Metal‐Catalyzed Hydroamination Reactions

“…been observed in stoichiometric reactions [146][147][148][149][150][151] or indirectly via deuteriumlabeling experiments [152]. The coupling of these observations with the more prevalent examples of C-H bond formation via reductive elimination over Cheteroatom bond formation by reductive elimination suggests that insertion into the M-amido bond may be preferred.…”

Iridium-Catalyzed, Intermolecular Hydroetherification of Unactivated Aliphatic Alkenes with Phenols

“…[100] The PEt 3 -ligated platinum complex [(PEt 3 ) 2 Pt(H)(NHPh)] was shown to react with acrylonitrile at 20 8C in C 6 D 6 to generate an alkyl complex by 2,1-insertion of the acrylonitrile (Scheme 21). Upon warming to 70 8C, this complex underwent CÀH bond-forming reductive elimination to generate the product from one cycle of hydroamination.…”

Insertion Reactions of Nitriles into the P−C Bond of [(η1-C5Me5)P{W(CO)5}2]—A Novel Approach to Phosphorus-Containing Heterocycles

“…[3] Furthermore, it is known that nitriles insert into the MoÀCl bond of MoCl 5 , [4] into the ZrÀO bond of [Cp* 2 ZrO], [5] and into EÀN bonds (E B, [6] Al, [7] P, [8] Pt [9] ). Recently, Neumüller et al reported on CsX-catalyzed trimerization reactions of acetonitrile with EMe 3 (E element of Group 13) under elimination of CH 4 and formation of [Me 2 E{HNC(Me)} 2 -steric encumbrance at this site and the fact that an S N 2-type attack on the cyclopropyl carbon C(3) has to pass through a highly strained transition structure.…”
