Title: Photolysis of Tp'Rh(CNneopentyl)(PhNCNneopentyl) in the presence of ketones and esters: kinetic and thermodynamic selectivity for activation of different aliphatic C–H bonds

Abstract

The competitive fragment [Tp'Rh(CNneopentyl)], generated from the precursor Tp'Rh(CNneopentyl)(PhNCNneopentyl), underwent oxidative addition of substituted ketones and esters resulting in Tp'Rh(CNneopentyl)(R)(H) complexes (Tp' = tris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate). These C–H activated complexes underwent reductive elimination at varying temperatures (24–70 °C) in C6D6 or C6D12. Using previously established kinetic techniques, the relative Rh–C bond strengths were calculated. Analysis of the relative Rh–C bond strengths vs. C–H bond strengths demonstrates a linear correlation with slope RM–C/C–H = 1.22 (12). In general, α-substituents increase the relative Rh–C bond strengths compared to the C–H bond that is broken.
