Cationic zirconium complexes in situ generated from zirconium dibenzyl complexes bearing amine-bridged bis(phenolato) ligands have been developed to catalyze addition of C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H bonds of pyridine derivatives to alkenes. A series of zirconium complexes bearing different ligands have been synthesized, and their activities in catalyzing addition of C(sp3)-H bonds of pyridine derivatives to alkenes have been studied and compared. Both reaction activity and regioselectivity are influenced by electronic and steric properties of ligand backbones. In addition, a cationic zirconium complex has been isolated and structurally characterized to shed some light on reaction mechanism. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Isopropylpyridine (cas: 644-98-4Formula: C8H11N).
2-Isopropylpyridine (cas: 644-98-4) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridine has a dipole moment and a weaker resonant stabilization than benzene (resonance energy 117 kJ·mol−1 in pyridine vs. 150 kJ·mol−1 in benzene). Halopyridines are particularly attractive synthetic building blocks in a variety of cross-coupling methods, including the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.Formula: C8H11N
