Development of group 4 and 5 complexes with N,O chelating supporting ligands as catalysts for the alpha-alkylation of amines

The use of stoichiometric, catalytic and theoretical methods in the development of an early transition metal catalyst for the α-alkylation of amines is described herein. The investigation is primarily focused on a series of mono(amidate) complexes of tantalum with varying steric and electronic prop...
