Mechanistic Insights into Regioselective Arene Insertion Using Bis(phosphine) Cobalt(I) Hydrides to Form 1,3-Cyclohexadienes
{{output}}
Bis-(phosphine) cobalt allyl complexes were used as isolable precursors to access transient, 14-electron cobalt-(I) hydrides that promoted the insertion of a series of substituted benzenes. The selectivity of the insertion reaction was assayed by analysis of t... ...
