The rhodium compounds [Rh(C≡CCF )(PEt ) ] (2), fac-[RhH(C≡CCF ) (PEt ) ] (3), and fac-[Rh{(E)-CH=CHCF }(C≡CCF ) (PEt ) ] (4) were synthesized by reactions of the rhodium(I) complexes [Rh(H)(PEt ) ] (1) and [Rh(Bpin)(PEt ) ] (5, HBpin=pinacolborane) with the alkyne 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. Reactivity studies of [Rh(C≡CCF )(PEt ) ] (2) were performed with CO and CO to form [Rh(C≡CCF )(CO)(PEt ) ] (7) and subsequently trans-[Rh(C≡CCF )(CO)(PEt ) ] (8) as well as the labeled derivatives. Using 1-4 as catalysts, hydroboration reactions selectively afforded borylated building blocks.
