Zirconium Complexes Supported by Imidazolones: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Precatalysts for the Hydroamination of Aminoalkenes

Dimeric zirconium benzyl and amide complexes supported by an imidazolone framework have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized. The amide complexes were found to be effective catalysts for intramolecular hydroamination of primary and secondary amines.
