Abstract

substrates to 1a at 258C results in the immediate release of methane (as observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy), but appreciable turnover is observed only at elevated temperatures. Cyclization of N-methylpent-4-enyl-amine (4) proceeds at a rate of> 50 hÀ1 in [D5] bromobenzene at 1008C (Figure 1),[10] which is roughly 20 times faster than that observed with Scott s catalyst,[8a] but slower than with [Me2Si (C5-Me4) 2NdCH (SiMe3) 2](11 hÀ1 ...
