Flash Communication: Rhodium Complexes of Acetamide-Derived PAlP Pincer
The new alane/bis(phosphine) PAlP pincer-type ligands <b>2-Me</b> and <b>2-Et</b> have been prepared by protolysis reactions of <i>N</i>-(diisopropylphoshino)acetamide with Me<sub>3</sub>Al or Et<sub>3</sub>Al in a 2:1 ratio. Upon reaction with a "RhCl" source and pyridine, <b>2-Me</b> gave rise to a (PAlP)RhMe(py) compound (<b>4-Me</b>), while <b>2-Et</b> led to the analogous hydride complex (PAlP)RhH(py) (<b>4-H</b>), with a migration of the chloride from Rh to Al. <b>4-Me</b> and <b>4-H</b> possess the shortest Rh-Al bonds to date.
