Abstract

We have recently reported9 that organometals containing various main group metals, such as AI, Mg, Zn, and Cd, react with LiCH (CI) SiMe2Ph5 to undergo CC bond formation, some of which have been shown to proceed via migratory insertion. In view of these favorable results, we reacted a wide variety of organotransition metals with 1 and 2 and indeed observed the desired CC bond formation according to the general equation shown below ...
