Reactivity of Cp*Mo(NO)(═CHCMe<sub>3</sub>) with Olefins and Dienes: C−H Activation Reactions of Molybdenacyclobutanes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reactions of a variety of cyclic and acyclic olefins with the title alkylidene complex (formed spontaneously by loss of neopentane from Cp*Mo(NO)(CH 2 CMe 3 ) 2 under ambient conditions) result in the initial formation of molybdenacyclobutane complexes (Cp* = C 5 Me 5 ). These molybdenacyclobutane complexes do not react via olefin metathesis or cyclopropanation pathways, but instead via C−H activation. Thus, when cyclopentene is the olefinic substrate, the direct result of C−H activation at the β-position of the metallacyclobutane affords a thermally stable allyl hydrido complex that can be isolated. Such an allyl hydride intermediate is not isolable for larger cyclic olefins (cyclohexene, cycloheptene, and cyclooctene) or acyclic olefins (allylbenzene and 1-hexene). Instead, those complexes react further, undergoing a second C−H activation at the allylic position to produce η 4 -trans-diene complexes concomitant with the loss of dihydrogen. Upon heating, these η 4 -trans-diene complexes liberate diene, thereby enabling the 14 e Cp*Mo(NO) metal fragment to catalyze the oligomerization of cyclic olefins and dienes including cyclohexene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene. In the case of the acyclic olefin allylbenzene, the metal fragment catalyzes a dimerization to ( E )-(4-methylpent-1-ene-1,5-diyl)dibenzene under ambient conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
