the most likely mechanism of isomerisation would involve a rhodium hydride addition/beta-hydride elimination sequence. We show that the observed selectivity cannot be adequately explained by this pathway and is more consistent with initial CH-activation followed by rearrangement to form a five-membered cyclometallated rhodium intermediate. This intermediate subsequently undergoes reductive elimination
在氢化铑(I)催化剂的存在下,已知N-烯丙基叔胺异构化成E-烯胺。相反,我们最近发现N-烯丙基氮丙啶异构化形成Z烯胺。根据文献数据,最可能的异构化机理将涉及氢化铑加成/β-氢化物消除序列。我们表明,所观察到的选择性不能通过该途径充分解释,并且与初始CH活化及随后的重排形成五元环金属化铑中间体更为一致。该中间体随后经过还原消除形成CH键。所得的几何稳定的Z-烯胺是用于立体选择性合成的有用的结构单元。
