Abstract

2-(1,3-Bis-3′-butylimidazol-1′-yl-2′-ylidene)phenylene)bis(dimethylamido) iodo zirconium(iv) (3) and 2-(1,3-bis-3′-butylimidazol-1′-yl-2′-ylidene)phenylene)bis (dimethylamido) bromo zirconium(iv) (4), have been prepared via a modification of the solvent and stoichiometry from the previously reported methodology. The reactivity of 3 and 4 in hydroamination/cyclisation is reported. Both diamido complexes have been found to improve catalytic activity as compared with the previously reported mono-amido analogues. Complexes 3 and 4 were observed to be selective for primary amines over secondary amines in hydroamination/cyclisation. The lack of reactivity with secondary amines is consistent with a mechanism involving requisite formation of a Zr-imido intermediate.
