Abstract

Activation of arene rings by complexation with metals through the pi system (π activation) is important in several processes such as arene hydrogenation and various coupling processes. 3 To achieve catalysis in such processes, arene ligand exchange must be facile. For example, a catalytic SNAr process (Scheme 1) 4 might utilize the activation provided by Cr (CO) 3 but requires that an arene exchange step operate under similar conditions. ...
