摘要
In this paper the C--F bond activation of polyfluoroaryl imines is explored at cobalt（0） center with an imine-N atom as an anchoring group. The reaction of F5C6-CH=N-（2＇-ClC6H4） （2） and FsC6-CH=N-C6H5 （3） with Co（PMe3h afforded the C-F bond activation products （ortho-F4C6-CH=N-（2＇-CIC6H4））Co（I）（PMe3）3 （5） and （ortho-F4C6-CH=N-C6Hs）Co（II）（F）（PMe3）2 （6）, while only n-（C=N） coordinated cobalt（0） complex （2,4,5- F3C6H2-CH=N-（4＇-ClC6H4））Co（0）（PMe3）3 （4） was obtained from 2,4,5-F3C6H2-CH=N-（4＇-C1C6H4） （1） without C--F bond activation. Complexes 4--6 were characterized through X-ray single crystal diffraction. It was also found that dialkylation of N-（perfluorobenzylidene）benzenamine with organozinc reagents could be catalyzed by Co（PMe3）4 via C,C-coupling reaction under mild conditions.
