Abstract

Abstract : The stable metallocene-butyl complexes [(Cp Me )2 M( n Bu)]2 (M = Y, Dy) were synthesized and their reactivity towards to ferrocene and bulky N-heterocyclic carbenes investigated. Abstract : The stable metallocene-butyl complexes [(Cp Me )2 M( n Bu)]2 (M = Y, Dy) were synthesized and their reactivity towards to ferrocene and bulky N-heterocyclic carbenes investigated. Selective mono-deprotonation of ferrocene and a benzylic methyl group of IMes were observed, whereas a control reaction of (Cp Me )3 M with IMes resulted in a normal-to-abnormal NHC rearrangement.
