Reactivity of a Scandium Terminal Imido Complex Towards Unsaturated Substrates

Abstract

A complex complex: The reactions of a scandium terminal imido complex with a series of unsaturated substrates, including CO2, PhCN, methyl methacrylate (MMA), cyclopentadiene, PhNCO, and propylene oxide, are presented (see scheme). A variety of intriguing products are formed from this complex. Ar=2,6-(iPr)2C6H3.
