Intramolecular C(sp(3))-H bond activation reactions mediated by low-valent cobalt, both Co(I) and Co(0), have been observed in the reactions of the three-coordinate cobalt complex [Co(IMes)(2)Cl] (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene) with alkylation reagents and sodium amalgam. The reactions with alkylation reagents gave [Co(IMes)(IMes')(N-2)], featuring a metalated IMes' anion, whereas the one-electron-reduction reaction afforded [Co(IMes')(2)]. The Co(II) complex can react with CO, isocyanide, and a diazo compound to furnish interesting cobalt complexes bearing functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. The establishment of these conversions demonstrates the capability of low-valent cobalt with coordination unsaturation to mediate C(sp(3))-H bond activation and functionalization.
