Improved synthetic protocols were developed for the safe, efficient, and scalable preparation of imino-amido Hf and Zr complexes that are precatalysts for olefin polymerizations. Facile syntheses of four imino-amido complexes were achieved in high yields by direct reactions of 4 equiv of MeMgBr with mixtures of the corresponding bisimines or imine-amines and MCl4 (M = Hf, Zr). These synthetic routes eliminate the use of the pyrophoric reagents AlMe3 and n-BuLi used previously, avoid cryogenic conditions, and lead to significant yield improvements. Notably, competing reaction pathways between the bis-imine and MeLi were observed. This led to the discovery of the selective addition of MeMgBr to the bis-imine, which was successfully applied in the synthesis of the imine-amine ligand.
