Selective Functionalization of Alkanes by Transition-Metal Boryl Complexes
Abstract
Simple transition-metal complexes of the formula Cp*M(CO)nBR 2[Cp* = C 5(CH 3)5] containing an electrophilic, covalently bound main-group ligand react with alkanes and release products resulting from selective functionalization of an alkane at the terminal position. These reactions produce alkylboronate esters, which are common reagents in organic synthesis. Thus, the boryl complexes are rare chemical reagents that react selectivity at the terminal position of an alkane to provide simple functionalized products. Mechanistic analysis shows that ligand dissociation is induced photochemically and that thermal reaction of the resulting intermediate occurs with alkanes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
