Abstract
Abstract The methyl group of 8-methylquinoline (Hmq) is metallated with rhodium(III) chloride hydrate in boiling 2-methoxyethanol and the complex of composition RhCl2(mq)· 1 3 (Hmq·HCl) is obtained, the structure of which is difficult to deduce. This product reacts with ligands (L) to give RhCl2(mq)L (L = pyridine, dimethyl sulfide, or acetonitrile), RhCl2(mq)L2 (L = dimethyl sulfoxide, triphenylarsine, or tri-n-butylphosphine), and RhBr2(mq)L2 (L = pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, or tri-n-butylphosphine). These complexes are characterized by spectroscopic methods.
