Developing catalytic applications of cooperative bimetallics: competitive hydroamination/trimerization reactions of isocyanates catalysed by sodium magnesiates.
Mixed-metal reagents [NaMg(CH2SiMe3)3] (1) and [(THF)NaMg(NPh2)3(THF)] [3-(THF)(2)] can act as precatalysts to selectively promote the hydroamination/trimerization of isocyanates (RNCO) depending on the steric bulk of the R substituent.
