Abstract

Abstract The complexes F n-Tp math image Ag (L)(F n-Tp math image= a perfluorinated hydrotris (indazolyl) borate ligand; L= acetone or tetrahydrofuran) efficiently catalyze the functionalization of non-activated alkanes such as hexane, 2, 3-dimethylbutane, or 2- methylpentane by insertion of CHCO 2 Et units (from N 2 CHCO 2 Et, ethyl diazoacetate, EDA) into their C [BOND] H bonds. The reactions are quantitative (EDA-based), with no ...
