Resumen: Selective reactions that combine H2, CO and organic electrophiles (aldehyde, ketones, isocyanide) to form hydrogenated C3 and C4 carbon chains are reported. These reactions proceed by CO homologation mediated by [W(CO)6] and an aluminum(I) reductant, followed by functionalization and hydrogenation of the chain ends. A combination of kinetics (rates, KIEs) and
DFT calculations has been used to gain insight into a key step which involves hydrogenation of a metal-locarbene intermediate. These findings expand the extremely small scope of systems that combine H2 and CO to make well-defined products with complete control over chain length and functionality Idioma: Inglés DOI: 10.1002/anie.202202241 Año: 2022 Publicado en: Angewandte Chemie (International ed.) 61, 20 (2022), e202202241 [5 pp.] ISSN: 1433-7851 Factor impacto JCR: 16.6 (2022) Categ.
