The β-diketiminatolead(II)-amido and -anilido complexes, [(BDI)Pb(NRRâ²)] (BDI = [N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)C(Me)}2CH]; NRRâ² = NH(2,6-iPr2C6H3), N(iPr)2), react at the amido/anilido nitrogen atom with simple saturated electrophiles such as methyltriflate. Addition of unsaturated electrophiles to these complexes either results in the formation of a complex mixture of products, or in the case of phenylisocyanate, reaction at the γ-carbon of the β-diketiminato ligand to form a complex that is the net result of a nucleophilic attack by the γ-carbon atom of the β-diketiminato ligand at the electrophilic carbon centre of phenylisocyanate. As this reactivity contrasts with that of β-diketiminatolead(II) alkoxo complexes as well as β-diketiminatotin(II) alkoxo complexes, we examined the reactivity between phenylisocyanate and the isostructural β-diketiminatotin(II)-amido and -anilido complexes. Reactivity at the γ-carbon was also observed in these systems. Density functional calculations were performed to help understand the differences in reactivity.

异氰酸苯酯的情况下,在 β-diketiminato
配体的 γ-碳上发生反应,形成配合物,这是亲核反应的最终结果在
异氰酸苯酯的亲电碳中心受到

配体的γ-碳原子的攻击。由于这种反应性与 β-diketiminatolead(II) 烷氧基络合物以及 β-diketiminatotin(II) 烷氧基络合物的反应性相反,我们检查了
异氰酸苯酯和同结构 β-diketiminatotin(II)-amido 和 -anilido 络合物之间的反应性。在这些系统中还观察到γ-碳的反应性。进行密度泛函计算以帮助理解反应性的差异。
