Synthesis and Reactivity of a Silylalkyl Double Tuck‐in Uranium Metallocene [(η⁵:η¹‐C₅Me₄SiMe₂CH₂)₂U] and its Conversion to Bis(tethered) Metallocenes

Abstract

Tuck in! CH bond activation involving two methyl groups in [(C5Me4SiMe3)2UMe2] generates a double tuck-in uranium metallocene that allows UC bond reactivity to be studied in a tethered environment as shown here with isocyanide to make a bis(tethered iminoacyl) complex (see scheme).
