C-H activation motivated by N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide within a lutetium complex stabilized by an amino-phosphine ligand.
A lutetium bis(alkyl) complex stabilized by a flexible amino-phosphine ligand LLu(CH(2)Si(CH(3))(3))(2)(THF) (L = (2,6-C(6)H(3)(CH(3))(2))NCH(C(6)H(5))CH(2)P(C(6)H(5))(2)) was prepared which upon insertion of N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide led to C-H activation via metalation of the ligand aryl methyl followed by reduction of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]N double bond.
