Synthesis and structure of "16-electron" rhodium(III) catalysts fortransfer hydrogenation of a cyclic imine: mechanistic implications.
Significant Rh-NH p-bonding in formally 16-electron(eta5-C5Me5)Rh(XNC6H4NX') (X, X' = H or Ts) is shownby structural features and by DFT calculations;(eta5-C5Me5)Rh(TsNC6H4NH) is the fastest transfer hydrogenationcatalyst of the three complexes and generates a formate complexunder catalytic conditions.
