Abstract:Typified by LiTMP and TMPMgCl.LiCl, (TMP = 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidide), s‐block metal amides have found widespread applications in arene deprotonative metalation. On the contrary transition metal amides lack sufficient basicity to activate these substrates. Breaking new ground in this field, here we present the synthesis and full characterisation of earth abundant transition metals M(TMP)2 (M= Fe, Co). Uncovering a new reactivity profile towards fluoroarenes these amide complexes can promote direct M−H exch… Show more
