Electrophilic reactivity of the zwitterionic titanocene monohalides Cp[η5-C5H4B(C6F5)3]TiX (X=Cl, Br): Reactions with water and methanol

Borata-Alkene Derived Syntheses of (F5C6)2B-Substituted Bis(indenyl) Group 4 Metal Complexes

“…This was in most cases achieved by synthetic routes involving e.g. nucleophilic attack at suitable XBR 2 or X 2 BR reagents . This is straightforward in the case of, for example, the respective dialkylamino boranes (e.g., R = NMe 2 ), since selective functionalization is greatly facilitated by the mesomeric stabilization of the Lewis acid borane site by the NR 2 substituent.…”
