Abstract
Whereas the soluble reagent indium(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate, InOTf, does not appear to react rapidly with chlorinated solvents, the crown ether ligated compounds [In(18-crown-6)][OTf] and [In(dibenzo-18-crown-6)][OTf] react rapidly with CH2Cl2 and CHCl3 to produce the corresponding C–Cl insertion products. The structural features and the formation of the new indium-containing products are rationalized.
Graphical abstractThe reaction of crown ether InI complexes with certain chlorinated solvents results in the insertion of the In center into a carbon–chlorine bond.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
