Magnesium(ii) complexes supported by indole- and pyrrole-containing Schiff-base ligands: syntheses, structures, and applications as precatalysts in the hydroboration of nitriles and alkynes

Abstract

The application of organometallic magnesium(II) compounds in the catalytic dihydroboration of nitriles and hydroboration of alkynes has been reported. Five compounds [(L)MgCl(THF)3] (1), [(L)MgBr(THF)3] (2), [(L)2Mg2Cl2(THF)]·0.2Tol (3·0.2Tol), [(L)2Mg2Br2(THF)] (4) and...
