Synthesis of (Hexafluoro-tert-Butyl)Amine and Molybdenum(VI) (Hexafluoro-tert-Butyl)Imido Complexes
[(CF3)(2)MeCNH(3)]Cl-+(-) was synthesized from (CF3)(2)C=NH in an overall yield of 90-95%. Attempts to prepare a variety of hexafluoro-tert-butylamido complexes of molybdenum, including metathesis catalysts analogous to compounds of the type Mo(CHR)(NAr)(OR’)(2) (where Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3), were unsuccessful.
