Intramolecular amine coordination versus NMe C‐H Activation: The stereoselective synthesis of a tantala(V)azacyclopropane complex

Abstract
A stereoselective C‐H activation reaction of a NMe group of [Ta{C6H4CH(Me)NMe2−2}‐(CH2Ph)2Cl2 (1b) affords toluene and a species which was isolated as the new pentagonal bipyramidal Ta(V) tetrahydrofuran (THF) adduct [Ta{C6H4(CH(Me)N(Me)CH2)‐2}(CH2Ph)Cl2‐ (THF)] (2). The chirality of the arylamine leads to a single structurally characterized diastereoisomer in which intramolecular coordination of the modified amine group produces a triangular Ta‐CH2‐N unit.
