A mechanochemical strategy for oxidative addition: remarkable yields and stereoselectivity in the halogenation of organometallic Re(i) complexes†
Abstract
A simple solvent-free mechanochemical procedure enables rapid and high-yielding oxidative halogenation of model organometallic Re(I) compounds with excellent and tunable stereoselectivity, demonstrating how mechanochemistry can advance and simplify fundamental organometallic transformations.
