Abstract
Treatment of a tucked-in iron(II) diphosphine complex with 2,6-dimethylphenylisonitrile (CN–Xyl) results in cyclization to afford a pair of iron(II) indole tautomers. This reaction outcome contrasts with that of a structurally analogous acyclic iron(II)-methyl complex, which shows no reaction with CN–Xyl. The structure and onward reactivity of these Fe-bound N-heterocycles are assessed experimentally and computationally.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
