Am. Echavarren et al., DESIGN AND SYNTHETIC APPLICATIONS OF NEW HETEROMETALLACYCLES, Bulletin des Societes chimiques belges, 103(9-10), 1994, pp. 549-558
The reaction of cyclic anhydrides with Ni(O) complexes lead to the for
mation of nickelacycles by oxidative addition followed by decarbonylat
ion. The preparation of chiral nickelacycles from anhydrides derived f
rom amino acids and their reactivity is described. The formation of ne
w heteropalladacycles by C-H activation or transmetallation reactions
and their reactivity will be also discussed.
