Synthesis and Aldol Reactivity of O- and C-Enolate Complexes of Nickel

Abstract
The often facile C-/O-tautomerization of transition metal enolates is severely hindered in the cyclic Ni complexes 1 and 2, allowing the study of their individual reactivities. At room temperature only the O-bound tautomer, 2, reacts with aldehydes, giving rise to the corresponding addition products.
