Synthesis, Structure, and Isomerization of Alkoxycarbonyl(chloro)(cyano)rhodium(III) Complexes, mer-[RhCl(CO2R)(CN)(PMe3)3] (R = Me, Et, nPr, iPr, nBu, and Bn), through C–C Bond Cleavage of Cyanoformates

Alkoxycarbonyl(chloro)(cyano)rhodium(III) complexes mer-[RhCl(CO2R)(CN)(PMe3)3] (1: R = Me; 2: R = Et; 3: R = nPr; 4: R = iPr; 5: R = nBu; 6: R = Bn) are prepared via oxidative addition of the corresponding cyanoformates to [RhCl(PMe3)3], derived in situ from [RhCl(cod)]2 and three equivalents of PM...

Description
Summary:Alkoxycarbonyl(chloro)(cyano)rhodium(III) complexes mer-[RhCl(CO2R)(CN)(PMe3)3] (1: R = Me; 2: R = Et; 3: R = nPr; 4: R = iPr; 5: R = nBu; 6: R = Bn) are prepared via oxidative addition of the corresponding cyanoformates to [RhCl(PMe3)3], derived in situ from [RhCl(cod)]2 and three equivalents of PMe3 in toluene at 70 °C, and their structures are characterized using NMR (1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H}) and X-ray diffraction.
