Abstract

Abstract The treatment of the rhodium methyl complex [Rh (Me)(PEt 3) 3](1) with diboranes B 2 [(OR) 2] 2 gave the 16-valence-electron rhodium (I) boryl complexes [Rh {B (OR) 2}(PEt 3) 3][2:(OR) 2= pin= pinacolato, O 2 C 2 Me 4; 3:(OR) 2= cat= catecholato, O 2 C 6 H 4; 4:(OR) 2= O 2 C 5 H 10]. The reactions of 2 and 4 with anilines yielded the amidoboranes HN [B (OR) 2](R′)[6: B (OR) 2= Bpin, R′= C 6 F 5; 7: B (OR) 2= Bpin, R′= Ph; 8: B (OR) 2= BO ...
