Key Points

This research aims to synthesize bulky β-diketimine ligands and investigate their application in magnesium complexes and reduction reactions.
Synthesis of three bulky β-diketimine protio-ligands using specific aryl groups.
Preparation of monomeric, three-coordinate magnesium complexes with these ligands.
Evaluation of reduction reactions with binary transition metal carbonyls.
Novel magnesium complexes were successfully synthesized from the β-diketimine ligands.
These complexes demonstrated unique reactivity patterns with transition metal carbonyls.

Implication

Three ligands are synthesized and used in magnesium complexes to explore reduction reactions with carbonyls, indicating new synthetic pathways.

Abstract

Three very bulky β-diketimine protio-ligands (ArNacnacH, {(Ar)N=C(But)}2CH2, Ar = 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphenyl TCHP; 2,6-dicyclohexylphenyl DCHP; TCHP/Dip, Dip = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) have been synthesised. These have been used to prepare monomeric, three-coordinate β-diketiminato magnesium...
