Scheme 1.1a and 1.1b respectively.1a The metal (M) and the X ligand end up bounded to the same (1,1) or adjacent (1,2) atoms of the L-type ligand shown as A=B The type of insertion observed in any given case depends on the nature of the inserting ligand For example, CO gives only 1,1 -insertion where both the M and the X group end up attached to the CO carbon Meanwhile ethylene gives only 1,2 -insertion, ... of complex (Rc)-60, did not show to undergo any insertion reaction at the platinum-carbon bond with the same alkynylphosphine ligand, even under vigorous reaction conditions employed On the other hand, the hetero-bimetallic insertion reaction complexes (Sc,Sc)-65 and (Sc,Sc)-66 containing both palladium and platinum metal centers were obtained with the insertion occurring at the palladium-carbon bond... N,Ndimethyl-1-(1-phenyl)ethylamine and its naphthylamine analogue were employed as reagents and chiral reaction promoters for two distinct class of reactions namely (a) insertion of alkynylphosphines into metal-carbon bond and (b) asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions It is noteworthy that these compounds play distinctly different roles in the two aforementioned synthetic scenarios They assume the dual role of reagents and reaction... these reactions and the position of equilibrium depend on the strengths of the metal-carbon bond and of the metal-carbon monoxide bond in the starting alkyl complex.2 1.1.2 Insertions Involving Alkene Insertion of coordinated alkenes into M-H bonds is a very important reaction because it gives alkyls, and constitutes a key step in a variety of catalytic reactions. 1a Alkenes are known as η2 ligands,... Chirality16 Chirality or "handedness" (Greek: cheir = the hand) is a dichotomous and geometrical property This phenomenon is exhibited in a pair of molecules that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of one another and they are called as the enantiomers The definition of enantiomers was originally proposed by Lord Kelvin in 1904 where he 9 quoted "I call any geometrical figure, or group of points, chiral, ... necessary conditions are fulfilled A hand and glove concept best depicts the relationship between a biological receptor and the chiral molecule If the glove is somewhat flexible, it could accommodate either hands, but only one will be able to perform the desired tasks However, when the glove is a steel gauntlet with the well-defined front and back therefore only the correct hand could fit in for an interaction... 1,1-migratory insertion M A M B A (a) B X X B B 1,2-migratory insertion M M A (b) A Scheme 1.1 (a) 1,1-migratory insertion and (b) 1,2-migratory insertion In principle, the insertion reactions are reversible, but only one of the two possible directions is observed in practice for many of the ligands, probably because this direction is strongly favored thermodynamically For example, sulfur dioxide commonly .
