Abstract
The niobium reagents NbCl3(DME) (1) and mer-(DME)Cl3Nb=NPh (6) serve as eff ective catalysts or precatalysts in imine metathesis reactions with a varie ty of aldimines. These reactions are particularly convenient because they p roceed at room temperature in a period of hours; noteworthy is the fact tha t I functions as a precatalyst even though it does not contain an imide lig and.
