Abstract

The addition of aluminium alkyls to terminal olefins leads to branched organoaluminium compounds which can be converted into functionalised alkanes. This carboalumination reaction is efficiently catalysed by a donor functionalised Cp-chromium (III) complex. The active catalyst is obtained by activation of the chromium (III) dichloride precursor with MAO or with a mixture of trialkylaluminium and N, N-dimethylanilinium ...
