An alkane elimination reaction generates the diketiminate compound (TTP)Zr(CH2Ph)3 (1) from Zr(CH2Ph)4 and TTPH (TTPH = 2-p-tolylamino-4-p-tolylimino-2-pentene). The molecular structure of 1 was solved, and it shows a five-coordinate zirconium with three η1-coordinated benzyl groups and an η2-bound TTP ligand. When 1 is heated to 45 °C in hydrocarbon solvents, toluene is eliminated and the orthometalated product 2 is formed. The molecular structure of 2 indicates η1 and η2 benzyl groups. The variable-temperature 1H NMR (−78 to 50 °C) spectra exhibit a single benzyl resonance. The magnitude of 1JCH for the benzyl methylene resonance is consistent with a rapid exchange between η1 and η2 bonding modes in solution. Isotopic labeling experiments employing (PPP-d10)Zr(CH2Ph)3(3-d10, PPP = 2-phenylamino-4-phenylimino-2-pentenato) support direct C−H activation through a four-centered transition state. Based on kinetic experiments, C−H activation is unimolecular, and the rate-limiting step exhibits a large kinetic...
