Abstract

A new bis(amidate)zirconium bis(amido) hydroamination pre-catalyst [ZrL2(NMe2)2] using 6-tert-butyl-3-phenyl-2-pyridone as a proligand (HL) was prepd. and crystallog. characterized. This rare example of an early transition metal complex incorporating a 2-pyridonate deriv. as an ancillary ligand is an effective catalyst for the cyclohydroamination of aminoalkenes, including more challenging substrates bearing unactivated internal C:C bonds.
