(1.0 mmol) were added to a solution of the corresponding catalyst (50
μmol) in 1,2-dichlorobenzene (20 mL). The reaction flask (250 mL)
was purged and then filled with N2O (2 atm), and the solution was
stirred at the given temperature for 18 h. The resulting mixture was
analyzed by gas chromatography.
Crystallographic Investigations. Data collections for all com-
pounds have been measured at low temperature using Mo Kα
radiation on a Bruker APEX II CCD. Semiempirical32 absorption
correction was applied to all data sets. Structure solutions, refinements,
and geometrical calculations have been carried out by SHELXTL.33 All
structures were refined using full-matrix least-squares on F2 with all
non-H atoms anisotropically defined. The hydrogen atoms were
placed in calculated positions using the “riding model” with Uiso = aUeq
(where a is 1.5 for −CH3 and −OH moieties and 1.2 for others).
