Abstract

Structurally characterized tantalum-η2-alkyne complexes [TaCl32-EtC=CEt)L2] (1, L2 = 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME); 2, L = py) acted as catalysts for the cyclotrimerization of terminal alkynes. The catalytic reaction proceeded at 25 °C within few hours and the trisubstituted benzenes were obtained without the formation of linear oligomers. A new tantalum complex having a terminal alkyne ligand, [TaCl32-Me3SiC≡ CH)(dme)l (3), was prepared, and its catalytic performance was also investigated.
