Reactive rhodium complexes derived from trans-6-vinylbicyclo[3.1.0.]hex-2-ene. Mechanistic studies and X-ray structure of η4-3,1′–3′(4-allylcyclopent-1-enyl)hexafluoroacetylacetonatorhodium tetramer
Abstract
The title compound forms rhodium(I) complexes with attendant cyclopropane ring-opening, and the resulting acetylacetonates rearrange cleanly above room temperature.
