KINETICS AMD MECHANISM OF THE FORMATION OF NITROSOALKANE COMPLEXES BY MIGRATORY INSERTION OF COORDINATED NITRIC OXIDE INTO COBALT-CARBON BONDS.

The treatment of cobalt nitrosyl anion at low temperature with various alkylating agents leads to the formation of a series of alkyl nitrosyl complexes. At room temperature in the presence of PPh//3 , these complexes undergo an NO migratory insertion process to form the corresponding series of nitrosoalkane complexes, which can be isolated and characterized. It was demonstrated in one case that the nitrosoalkane ligand can be reductively removed as the corresponding amine by treatment of the complex with LiAlH//.
