Journal ArticleDOI
Isotope effects in C-H bond activation reactions by transition metals.
TL;DR: How isotope effects can be used to probe the nature of these intermediates and some pitfalls in interpreting kinetic data are pointed out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative reactivities of hydrocarbon C-H bonds with a transition-metal complex
William D. Jones,Frank J. Feher +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative evaluation of the relative equilibrium constants and rates of reaction for both alkane and arene hydrocarbon activation has been provided for the first time, based on a series of homogeneous rhodium organometallic complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient low-temperature route to polycyclic isoquinoline salt synthesis via C-H activation with [Cp*MCl2]2 (M = Rh, Ir).
TL;DR: This work provides a novel, efficient method for metal-mediated synthesis of heterocycles by synthesizing isoquinoline salts from readily available starting materials using one-pot procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Iron Catalyst for the Acceptorless Dehydrogenation and Hydrogenation of N‑Heterocycles
TL;DR: A well-defined iron complex supported by a bis(phosphino)amine pincer ligand efficiently catalyzes both acceptorless dehydrogenation and hydrogenation of N-heterocycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
C−H Activation of Phenyl Imines and 2-Phenylpyridines with [Cp*MCl2]2 (M = Ir, Rh): Regioselectivity, Kinetics, and Mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of meta-substituted phenyl imines (−OMe, −CH3, −F, −COOMe), −CF3, and −CN) and 2-phenylpyridines were investigated using [Cp*MCl2]2 (M = Ir, Rh).
