Abstract: | N–O Bond Cleavage in O-silylated Oximes by Reaction with a Titanocene-Alkyne Complex Cp2Ti(Me3SiC2SiMe3) 1 reacts with alicyclic and aliphatic O-silylated ketoximes of type R1R2C=NOSiMe3 ( 2 : R1R2 = (CH2)5; 3 : R1 = R2 = Me) under N–O bond breaking to the titanocene complexes Cp2Ti(OSiMe3)(N=CR1R2) 6 (R1R2 = (CH2)5) and 7 (R1 = R2 = Me). The structure of 6 was obtained by X-ray crystal structure analysis ( 6 : triclinic, space group P1, Z = 2, a = 9.486(1), b = 9.865(1), c = 12.305(2) Å, α = 107.19(1), β = 96.08(1), γ = 111.08(1)°). |
