V. Cadierno et al., Reductive elimination of alpha-phosphinozirconocene iminoacyl complexes: First evidence of neutral eta(1)-imine zirconocene. Synthesis of bi- or tricyclic beta-phosphino imines, J AM CHEM S, 121(48), 1999, pp. 11086-11092
Phosphinozirconocene complexes react with isocyanides to give unprecedented
bi- or tricyclic beta-phosphino imines through three successive and contro
lled steps. Spectroscopic and chemical evidence for the formation of the fi
rst neutral eta(1)-imine zirconocene complexes in the reductive elimination
reaction sequence is presented.
