Notes:
Reaction of the β-CH agostic alkenylzirconocene complex Cp2ZrCl[C(SiMe3) = CHPh] (1) with benzyl isonitrile yields the (η2-iminoacyl)zirconocene complex (2). Complex 2 crystallizes in space group P21/a with cell parameters a = 8.928(2), b = 18.888(3), c = 16.163(1) Å, β = 93.45(1)°, Z = 4. Carbon monoxide analogously inserts only into the Zr—C bond of 1. No evidence has been found for insertion reactions involving the alkenyl β-carbon-to-hydrogen bond “activated” by the agostic Zr…H—C interaction in this system.
