Detailed mechanistic studies, that include initial rate measurements, full simulation of temporal profiles for a variety of catalyst and substrate concentrations, and speciation experiments, suggest a mechanism that involves initial coordination of alkyne and a saturation kinetics regime for amine-borane binding. The solid-state molecular structure of a model complex that probes the proposed resting state is also reported, [Rh(κ3-P,O,P-Xantphos)(NCMe)(η2-PhC≡CPh)][BArF4].}, language = {en} } @article{AnsellKostakisBraunschweigetal.2016, author = {Ansell, Melvyn B. and Kostakis, George E. and Braunschweig, Holger and Navarro, Oscar and Spencer, John}, title = {Synthesis of functionalized hydrazines: facile homogeneous (N-heterocyclic carbene)-palladium(0)-catalyzed diboration and silaboration of azobenzenes}, series = {Advanced Synthesis \& Catalysis}, volume = {358}, journal = {Advanced Synthesis \& Catalysis}, number = {23}, doi = {10.1002/adsc.201601106}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-186582}, pages = {3765-3769}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)(diphenylacetylene)palladium complex Pd(ITMe)\(_2\)(PhCCPh)] (ITMe=1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) acts as a highly active pre-catalyst in the diboration and silaboration of azobenzenes to synthesize a series of novel functionalized hydrazines.
