In the presence of a bis-amidate-bis-amido Ti pre-catalyst, an NHC supported Cu acetylide was reacted with <i>p</i>-toluidine to generate a new Cu containing species almost quantitatively. The product was analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction to be a Cu enamide. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the reaction follows well accepted [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism for early transition metal catalyzed hydroamination. Furthermore, the reaction is likely to be a direct functionalization of the alkyne moiety of the Cu acetylide.

Even after several decades of intense research, mechanistic studies of olefin polymerization by early transition metal catalysts continue to reveal unexpected elementary reaction steps. In this mini-review, the recent discovery of two unprecedented chain termination processes is summarized: chain transfer to solvent (CTS) and chain transfer to monomer (CTM), leading to benzyl/tolyl and allyl type chain ends, respectively. Although similar transfer reactions are well-known in radical polymerization, only very recently they have been observed also in olefin insertion polymerization catalysis. In the latter context, these processes were first identified in Ti-catalyzed propene and ethene polymerization; more recently, CTS was also reported in Sc-catalyzed styrene polymerization. In the Ti case, these processes represent a unique combination of insertion polymerization, organic radical chemistry and reactivity of a M(IV)/M(III) redox couple. In the Sc case, CTS occurs via a σ-bond metathesis reactivity, and it is associated with a significant boost of catalytic activity and/or with tuning of polystyrene molecular weight and tacticity. The mechanistic studies that led to the understanding of these chain transfer reactions are summarized, highlighting their relevance in olefin polymerization catalysis and beyond.
