Abstract

The dinuclear Rh(III) species [Cp*RhCl 2] 2 catalyzes the hydroamination reaction between an aromatic terminal alkyne (ArCCH) and an aniline (Ar′NH 2), in the presence of a salt additive, to afford the ketimine Ar′N=C(Me)(Ar). A reaction pathway has been proposed on the basis of experimental and computational studies.
