Synthesis of the titanium compound [(MeC5H4)TiCl(mu-NSiMe3)](2) with migration of a SiMe3 group and preparation of Cp2ZrCl(eta(2)-NHNCHSiMe3}
Reaction of(MeC5H4)TiCl3 with Me3SiCLiN2 gave the imido-bridged dinuclear titanium complex [(MeC5H4)TiCl(mu -NSiMe3)](2) (1; below left) with migration of a SiMe3 group. The reaction of Cp-2-ZrHCl with Me3SiCHN2 yielded an eta (2)-N-2-zirconium diazoalkane complex Cp2ZrCl(eta (2)-NHNCH-SiMe3) (2; below right). [GRAPHICS]
