Abstract

Abstract : The first mononuclear divalent ytterbium hydride complex [(Tp Ad, iPr )Yb(H)(THF)] (Tp Ad, iPr = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate) (2 ) bearing a terminal hydrido ligand was obtained by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl precursor in hexane. Abstract : The first mononuclear divalent ytterbium hydride complex [(Tp Ad, iPr )Yb(H)(THF)] (Tp Ad, iPr = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate) (2 ) bearing a terminal hydrido ligand was obtained by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl precursor in hexane. Complex 2 exhibited two different reaction patterns towards allenes: Yb–H addition with cyclohexylallene and deprotonation of 1, 1-dimethylallene.
