摘要: Two-electron reduction of the TiIV compound (ketguan)(ImDippN)Ti(OTf)2 (3) gives arene-masked complex (ketguan)(η6-ImDippN)Ti (1) in excellent yield. Upon standing solution, 1 converts to a metallacycle (4) through dehydrogenation pendant isopropyl group. Spectroscopic evidence shows this transformation initially proceeds via oxidative addition C(sp3)−H bond and can be reversed upon exposure 4 H2. Interestingly, treatment with cyclohexene cyclohexane titanium-mediated transfer hydrogenation reaction, process that extended catalytically hydrogenate other unsaturated hydrocarbons under mild conditions. These results, rare for early-metals, suggest possesses chemical characteristics reminiscent noble, late-metals.
