Unexpected Tandem Reactions of Tris(cyclopentadieny1)lanthanide with Diphenylketene and Regeneration of the η5-Bonding Mode: One-Pot Synthesis of Heteroleptic Yttrocenes from Simple (C
Unprecedented tandem insertion/cycloaddition/isomerization reactions of Cp3Y with diphenylketene have been revealed, by which a general method for assembling one or two anionic side chains to the cyclopentadienyl ring bound to lanthanide metals in a one-pot procedure is established.
