Abstract

β-imidophosphonamido ligated lutetium alkyl complex (NPNDipp)Lu(CH2SiMe3)2(THF) (NPNDipp = Ph2P(NC6H3 iPr2-2,6)2) with the activation of AliBu3 and [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] exhibited high catalytic activity, medium syndio-(rr = 66%) but remarkably high 3,4-regioselectivity for the polymerization of β-myrcene (MY). In sharp contrast, high isotactic 3,4-polymyrcene (PMY) (mm = 95%) was obtained by the precursor (NPNEt)Lu(CH2SiMe3)2(THF) (NPNEt = PPh2(NC6H3 iPr2-2,6)(NC6H4-Et-2)) with less bulky substituents on the N-aryl ring.
