Enhanced Reactivity Results in Reduced Catalytic Performance: Unexpected Ligand Reactivity of a Bis(<i>N</i>-2,6-diisopropylphenylperflourophenyl-amidate)titanium-bis(diethylamido) Hydroamination Precatalyst
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A bis(amidate)titanium-bis(amido) complex incorporating electron withdrawing pentafluorophenyl substituents has been prepared to enhance reactivity in this class of hydroamination precatalyst. This bis( N -2,6-diisopropylphenylperflourophenylamidate)titanium-bis(diethylamido) titanium complex has been fully characterized, including its X-ray crystal structure. As a precatalyst, the title compound proved to be effective for intermolecular hydroamination of internal and terminal alkynes with primary amines with yields as high as 97% and modest intramolecular alkene hydroamination. However, the elevated reactivity of this complex also resulted in reduced Markovnikov/anti-Markovnikov selectivity with some terminal alkynes. Substrate scope limitations revealed that this complex is susceptible to decomposition as a direct consequence of nucleophilic addition of the amine substrate to the pentafluorophenyl substituent of the amidate ligand.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
