A working partnership: Metal–ligand cooperativity is responsible for the high activity of the rhodium amido complex 1 in the dehydrogenative coupling of primary alcohols with water, methanol, or amines, including ammonia (see scheme), to give carboxylic acids, methyl carboxylates, or amides, respectively. The catalysis proceeds under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a recyclable hydrogen
一个有效的合作伙伴关系:
金属-
配体的协同作用是
铑氨基配合物1在伯醇与
水,
甲醇或胺(包括
氨)(参见方案)的脱氢偶联中的高活性的原因,从而生成
羧酸,
羧酸甲酯,或酰胺。催化反应在温和的反应条件下,在可回收的氢受体A的存在下进行。通过计算方法阐明了多步机制。
