Kinetic control and multiple mechanisms for C-H bond activation by a Zr=N complex

The [Cp*CpZr=NCMe3(thf)] system provides the first direct measurement of kinetic selectivity in sp, sp2, and sp3 C-H bond activation with Group 4 imido complexes. This feature allows the design of selectivity and mechanistic experiments to probe the 1,2-RH-addition event. Substrates reacting with the highest relative rates generally form the most thermodynamically stable products. Cp* = η5-C 5Me5, Cp = η5-C5H5.
