C-H activation by a tungsten trimethylsilylallyl complex
Thermolysis of Cp*W(NO)(Np)(η³-CH₂CHCHSiMe₃) generates a 16-electron allene intermediate complex that selectively activates hydrocarbons at their methyl groups. In the case of linear alkanes, only terminal activation is observed. This selectivity persists in the presence of an ether functionality, b...
