Synthesis and reactivity studies on alkyl-aryloxo complexes of nickel containing chelating diphosphines: Cyclometallation and carbonylation reactions

Nickel alkyl-aryloxo complexes of composition Ni(R)(O-C6H3-2,6-Me2)(P-P) (R = CH2SiMe3, CH3, CH2CMe2Ph; CH2CMe2Ph) complexes undergo a cyclometallation reaction that leads to the metallacycles Ni(CH2CMe2-o-C6H4)(P-P) together with 2,6-dimethylphenol. The alkyl-aryloxo complexes cleanly react with carbon monoxide giving products resulting from CO insertion and reductive elimination, i.e. Ni(CO)2(P-P) and the corresponding 2,6-dimethylphenyl carboxylates quantitatively.
