Question

When Cp*Lu(CH₂SiMe₃)₂ is treated with one equivalent of MesPH₂, it produces a new lutetium complex, labeled as B, along with a volatile by-product, labeled as C. Subsequently, B is reacted with one equivalent of benzophenone, resulting in the formation of complex D and an organic product, labeled as E.

A. Write the balanced chemical equations that illustrate the synthesis of Cp*Lu(CH₂SiMe₃)₂ starting from LuCl3 (2 approaches of doing so, show all.

B.Show the structures of compounds B, C, D, and E, and explain the reactivity observed at each step of the reaction sequence.
