Addition of E−H Bonds (E = S, N) across the C α C β Bond of the Allenylidene Ligand in [Re{CCCPh 2 }(CO) 2 (triphos)](OSO 2 CF 3 ) (Triphos = MeC(CH 2 PPh 2 ) 3 )

Reaction of the rhenium(I) allenylidene complex [Re{CdCdCPh 2 }(CO) 2 (triphos)]OTf (1; triphos ) MeC(CH 2 PPh 2 ) 3 , OTf ) -OSO 2 CF 3 ) with thiophenol, 2-thionaphthol, or allyl mercaptan gave selectively the R, -unsaturated thiocarbene complexes [Re{C(SR)CHdCPh 2 }-(CO) 2 (triphos)]OTf (R ) Ph (2), R-naphthyl (3), CH 2 CHdCH 2 (4)). A reversible reaction was observed for PhSH in DMSO at 80°C. Compounds 2 and 3 have been found to react with sodium alkoxides, yielding the kinetic thioallenyl products [Re{C(SR)dCdCPh 2 }(CO) 2 -(triphos)] (R ) Ph (6a), R-naphthyl (7a)). These equilibrated in room-temperature solution with the thermodynamic thioalkynyl products [Re{CtCC(SR)Ph 2 }(CO) 2 (triphos)] (R ) Ph (6b), R-naphthyl (7b)) to give stationary states (6a/6b, 40/60; 7a/7b, 20/80). Deprotonation of the thioallyl complex 4 gave the stable allenyl derivative [Re{C(SCH 2 CHdCH 2 )dCdCPh 2 }-(CO) 2 (triphos)] (8). Ammonia, aniline, and propargylamine each reacted with 1 to give the azoniabutadienyl compounds [Re{C(dNHR)CHdCPh 2 }(CO) 2 (triphos)]OTf (R ) H (9), Ph (10), CH 2 CtCH (11)) via N-H bond addition across the C R dC double bond. NMR spectroscopy showed the γ-alkynylammonium complex [Re{CtCCPh 2 (NH 3 )}(CO) 2 (triphos)]OTf (12) to be a transient intermediate along the reaction of 1 with ammonia. Treatment of 10 or 11 with sodium methoxide resulted in the selective deprotonation of the nitrogen atom to give the azabutadienyl compounds [Re{C(dNR)CHdCPh 2 }(CO) 2 (triphos)] (R ) Ph (13), CH 2 CtCH (14)). The molecular structure of the azoniabutadienyl complex 11 was determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. The geometry around the rhenium center conforms to a slightly distorted octahedron, with the polyphosphine sitting on a face of the coordination polyhedron. In keeping with the azoniabutadienyl structure, the Re-C R bond length is 2.151(7) Å, and the C R -N distance is 1.300(9) Å.

Ferrocenyl-substituted allenylidene complexes of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten: Synthesis, structure and reactivity

Inorganica Chimica Acta, 2009

Bis(ferrocenyl) substituted allenylidene complexes, [(CO) 5 M C C CFc 2 ] (1a c, Fc = (C 5 H 4 )Fe(C 5 H 5 ), M = Cr (a), Mo (b), W (c)) were obtained by sequential reaction of Fc 2 C O with Me 3 Si C CH, KF/MeOH, n BuLi, and [(CO) 5 M(THF)]. For the synthesis of related mono(ferrocenyl)allenylidene chromium complexes, [(CO) 5 Cr C C C(Fc)R] (R = Ph, NMe 2 ), three different routes were developed: (a) reaction of the deprotonated propargylic alcohol HC CC(Fc)(Ph)OH with [(CO) 5 Cr(THF)] followed by desoxygenation with Cl 2 C O, (b) Lewis acid induced alcohol elimination from alkenyl(alkoxy)carbene complexes, [(CO) 5 Cr C(OR)CH C(NMe 2 )Fc], and (c) replacement of OMe in [(CO) 5 Cr C C C(OMe)NMe 2 ] by Fc. Complex 1a was also formed when the mono(ferrocenyl)alleny lidene complex [(CO) 5 Cr C C C(Fc)NMe 2 ] was treated first with Li[Fc] and the resulting adduct then with SiO 2 .

Synthesis of heterocyclic carbene ligands via 1,2,3-diheterocyclization of allenylidene complexes with dinucleophiles

Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 2006

Heterocyclic carbene complexes are accessible from p-donor-substituted allenylidene complexes, [(CO) 5 Cr@C@C@C(NMe 2)Ph] (1) and [(CO) 5 Cr@C@C@C(O-endo-Bornyl)OEt] (4), and various dinucleophiles by 1,2,3-diheterocyclization. The reaction of 1 with 1,2dimethylhydrazine gives the 1,2-dimethylpyrazolylidene complex [(CO) 5 Cr=C-C(H)=C(Ph)-NMe-NMe] (2) in high yield in addition to small amounts of the a,b-unsaturated carbene complex [(CO) 5 Cr@C(NMe 2)-C(H)@C(NMe 2)Ph] (3). The analogous reaction of 4 with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine affords the 1,2-dimethylpyrazolylidene complex [(CO) 5 Cr=C-C(H)=C(O-endo-Bornyl)-NMe-NMe] (5) and, via displacement of the C c-bound ethoxy substituent, the hydrazinoallenylidene complex [(CO) 5 Cr@C@C@C(O-endo-Bornyl){NMe-N(H)Me}] (6). Treatment of 6 with catalytic amounts of acids induces cyclization to 5. On addition of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine to 1 the zwitterionic pyrazolium-5-ylidene complex [(CO) 5 Cr-C=C(H)-C(Ph)=N-NMe 2 ] (7) is formed. The reaction of 1 with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane affords a octahydro-benzo[1,4]diazepinylidene complex (10) and, via intermolecular substitution, a binuclear bisallenylidene complex (11). Thiazepinylidene complexes (12-14), containing 7-membered N/S-heterocyclic carbene ligands, are formed highly selectively in the reaction of 1 with 2-aminoethanethiol or related cysteine derivatives by a substitution/cyclization sequence. The analogous reaction of 1 with homocysteine methylester yields a thiazocanylidene complex (15). All new heterocyclic carbene ligands are strong donors exhibiting r-donor/ p-acceptor ratios similar to those of the known imidazolylidene complexes. On photolysis of 2 and 12 in the presence of triphenylphosphine, the corresponding cis-carbene tetracarbonyl triphenylphosphine complexes (16 and 17) are formed. The solid state structure of complexes 2, 7, 14, 15, and 16 is established by X-ray structural analysis.

From alkenylphosphane aminoallenylidene ruthenium(II) complexes to highly unsaturated ruthenaphosphabicycloheptene complexes

Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 2006

The alkenylaminoallenylidene complex [Ru(g 5-C 9 H 7){@C@C@C(NEt 2)[C(Me)@CPh 2 ]}{j(P)-Ph 2 PCH 2 CH@CH 2 }(PPh 3)][PF 6 ] (2) has been prepared by the reaction of the allenylidene [Ru(g 5-C 9 H 7)(@C@C@CPh 2){j(P)-Ph 2 PCH 2 CH@CH 2 }(PPh 3)][PF 6 ] (1) with the ynamine MeC"CNEt 2. The reaction proceeds regio-and stereoselectively, and the insertion of the ynamine takes place exclusively at the C b @C c bond of the unsaturated chain. The secondary allenylidene [Ru(g 5-C 9 H 7){@C@C@C(H)[C(Me)@CPh 2 ]}{j(P)-Ph 2 PCH 2 CH@CH 2 }(PPh 3)][PF 6 ] (3) is obtained, in a one-pot synthesis, from the reaction of aminoallenylidene 2 with LiBHEt 3 and subsequent treatment with silica. Moreover, the addition of an excess of NaBH 4 to a solution of the complex 2 in THF at room temperature gives exclusively the alkynyl complex [Ru(g 5-C 9 H 7){C"CCH 2 [C(Me)@CPh 2 ]}{j(P)-Ph 2 PCH 2 CH@CH 2 }(PPh 3)] (5). The heating of a solution of allenylidene derivative 3 in THF at reflux gives regio-and diastereoselectively the cyclobutylidene complex [Ru(g 5-C 9 H 7){κ 2 (P,C)-{=CCH(CH 2 PPh 2)CH 2 C=C(H)[C(Me)=CPh 2 ]}}(PPh 3)][PF 6 ] (4) through an intramolecular cycloaddition of the C@C allyl and the C a @C b bonds in the allenylidene complex 3. The structure of complex 4 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Phosphorus-Bridged Dinuclear Tungsten Amino(aryl)carbene Complexes – New Precursors for (2H-Azaphosphirene)tungsten Complexes bearing a σ-P-Bonded Cp* Group⋆

The first syntheses of pentacarbonyl[2-(pentamethyl-2,4-case, a dinuclear carbene complex with a P(Cp*)-O-P(Cp*) bridging unit was isolated.
