Abstract
We
herein
report
a
fundamental
mechanistic
investigation
into
photochemical
metal‐nitrenoid
generation
and
inner‐sphere
transposition
reactivity
using
organometallic
photoprecursors.
By
designing
Cp*Ir(hydroxamate)(Ar)
complexes,
we
induced
photo‐initiated
ligand
activation,
allowing
us
to
explore
the
amidative
σ(Ir–aryl)
migration
reactivity.
A
combination
of
experimental
studies,
femtosecond
transient
absorption
spectroscopy,
density
functional
theory
(DFT)
calculations
revealed
that
metal‐to‐ligand
charge
transfer
enables
σ(N−O)
cleavage,
followed
by
Ir‐acylnitrenoid
generation.
The
final
group
results
in
net
transposition.
