Abstract
Addition of trimethylphosphine to a bis(phenolate)benzylimidazolylidene(dibenzyl)zirconium complex induces migration of a benzyl ligand from the metal center to the C_(carbine) atom. This process may be reversed, resulting in C_(sp)^3–C_(sp)^3 activation, by abstraction of the phosphine, an example of regulated, reversible alkyl migration. Addition of ammonia to the dibenzyl complex results in migration of one benzyl group and protonolysis of the other to generate a bis(NH_2)-bridged dimer via an NMR-observable intermediate NH_3 adduct.
