Synthesis and Insertion Reactions of Cp₂′HfCl{As(SiMe₃)₂} (Cp′ = C₅H₄Me) The reaction of Cp₂′HfCl₂ (Cp′ = C₅H₄Me) with Li(THF)_2,5As(SiMe₃)₂ (1 : 1) at room temperature gives the terminal hafnocene arsenido complex Cp₂′HfCl{As(SiMe₃)₂} ( 1 ) in high yield. 1 inserts CS₂ and PhNC into the Hf? As bond yielding Cp₂′HfCl{η²-S₂CAs(SiMe₃)₂} ( 2 ) and Cp₂′HfCl{η²-N(Ph)CAs(SiMe₃)₂} ( 3 ). The thermally sensitive complexes 1–3 were characterised spectroscopically and crystal structure determinations were carried out on 1 and 3 which shows the η² bonding mode of the N(Ph)CAs(SiMe₃)₂ ligand in the latter.     

Über den Phosphandiyl‐Transfer von invers‐polarisierten Phosphaalkenen R1P=C(NMe2)2 (R1 = tBu,Cy, Ph,H) auf Phospheniumkomplexe [(η5‐C5H5)(CO)2M=P(R2)R3] (R2 = R3 = Ph; R2 = tBu,R3 = H; R2 = Ph,R3 = N(SiMe3)2)

Phosphanediyl Transfer from Inversely Polarized Phosphaalkenes R¹P=C(NMe₂)₂ (R¹ = tBu, Cy, Ph, H) onto Phosphenium Complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂M=P(R²)R³] (R² = R³ = Ph; R² = tBu, R³ = H; R² = Ph, R³ = N(SiMe₃)₂) Reaction of the freshly prepared phosphenium tungsten complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W=PPh₂] ( 3 ) with the inversely polarized phosphaalkenes RP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1 ) ( a : R = tBu; b : Cy; c : Ph) led to the η²‐diphosphanyl complexes ( 9a‐c ) which were isolated by column chromatography as yellow crystals in 24‐30 % yield. Similarly, phosphenium complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂M=P(H)tBu] (M = W ( 6 ); Mo ( 8 )) were converted into (M = W ( 11 ); Mo ( 12 )) by the formal abstraction of the phosphanediyl [PtBu] from 1a . Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W=P(Ph)N(SiMe₃)₂] ( 4 ) with HP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1d ) gave rise to the formation of yellow crystalline ( 10 ). The products were characterized by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H, ¹³C‐, ³¹P‐NMR, MS). The molecular structure of compound 10 was elucidated by an X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Reactive E=C(p‐p)π‐Systems. 55. [1] Ligand Properties of 1‐Trifluoromethyl‐2‐diethylamino‐2‐fluoro‐1‐arsaethene,F3CAs=C(F)NEt2

Due to the mesomeric interaction of the nitrogen lone pair with the As=C double bond, the perfluoroarsapropene derivative F₃CAs=C(F)NEt₂ ( 1 ) is sufficiently stable to serve as a ligand in transition metal carbonyl complexes. 1 was coordinated to chromium by reaction with the photochemically generated labile complex Cr(CO)₅(THF), yielding the monosubstituted pentacarbonyl derivative Cr(CO)₅[F₃CAs=C(F)NEt₂] ( 2 ). Already at room temperature, this is slowly transformed into the binuclear complex [F₃CAs=C(F)NEt₂][Cr(CO)₅]₂ ( 3 ) by replacing 1 from a neighbouring molecule by the stronger donor 2 . In a closed system 3 obviously exists in an equilibrium with 1 and 2 . Both complexes are related to the previously studied derivatives of the 2‐dimethylamino‐perfluoro‐1‐phosphapropene ligand. The products were identified by spectroscopic (IR, NMR) investigations and comparison with the related phosphaalkene complexes.     

Reaktive E=C(p‐p)π‐Systeme. 54 [1] Reaktionen des Perfluor‐2‐arsapropens,F3CAs=CF2 (1), mit H‐aciden Verbindungen Me2EH (E = N,P, As) und MeE′H (E′ = O,S, Se)

Reactive E=C(p‐p)π‐Systems. 54 [1] Reactions of perfluoro‐2‐arsapropene, F₃CAs=CF₂ (1), with H‐acidic compounds Me₂EH (E = N, P, As) and MeE′H (E′ = O, S, Se) The reactions of the perfluoro‐2‐arsapropene ( 1 ) with H‐acidic compounds Me₂EH (E = N, P, As) and MeE′H (E′ = O, S, Se), respectively, proceed via addition to the As=C double bond yielding either secondary arsanes F₃C(H)AsCF₂X (X = NMe₂, PMe₂, OMe, SMe) or AsX derivatives (X = AsMe₂, SeMe). Me₂‐AsH is obviously a border case nucleophile because, besides the AsX derivative as main product, small amounts of the arsane are formed indicative for the reverse addition pathway. With the strong base Me₂NH, the addition is followed immediately by HF elimination producing the fairly stable arsaalkene F₃CAs=C(F)NMe₂ ( 4 ) which had already been obtained by reaction of HAs(CF₃)₂ with three equivalents of Me₂NH. The novel rather labile compounds were identified by spectroscopic (NMR, GC/MS) investigations. – Quantum chemical DFT calculations [B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p)] were carried out to determine the relative energy of the isomeric products and the thermodynamics of the addition reactions.     

Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität von η3‐1,2‐Diphosphaallylkomplexen sowie von [{(η5‐C5H5)(CO)2W–Co(CO)3}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe3)2}(μ‐CO)]

Syntheses, Structure and Reactivity of η³‐1,2‐Diphosphaallyl Complexes and [{(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] Reaction of ClP=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂ ( 3 ) with Na[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] afforded the phosphavinylidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo=P=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 4 ) which in situ was converted into the η¹‐1,2‐diphosphaallyl complex [η⁵‐(C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 6 ) by treatment with the phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂. The chloroarsanyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₃M–As(Cl)CH(SiMe₃)₂] [where M = Mo ( 9 ); M = W ( 10 )] resulted from the reaction of Na[M(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] (M = Mo, W) with Cl₂AsCH(SiMe₃)₂. The tungsten derivative 10 and Na[Co(CO)₄] underwent reaction to give the dinuclear μ‐arsinidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] ( 11 ). Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 1 ) with an equimolar amount of ethereal HBF₄ gave rise to a 85/15 mixture of the saline complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η²‐tBu(H)P–P(F)CH(SiMe₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 18 ) and [Cp(CO)₂Mo{F₂PCH(SiMe₃)₂}(tBuPH₂)]BF₄ ( 19 ) by HF‐addition to the PC bond of the η³‐diphosphaallyl ligand and subsequent protonation ( 18 ) and/or scission of the PP bond by the acid ( 19 ). Consistently 19 was the sole product when 1 was allowed to react with an excess of ethereal HBF₄. The products 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 and 19 were characterized by means of spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR, MS). Moreover, the molecular structures of 6 , 11 and 18 were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität des Ferrioarsaalkens [(η5‐C5Me5)(CO)2FeAs=C(Ph)NMe2]

Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of the Ferrioarsaalkene [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeAs=C(Ph)NMe₂] Reaction of equimolar amounts of the carbenium iodide [Me₂N(Ph)CSMe]I and LiAs(SiMe₃)₂ · 1.5 THF afforded the thermolabile arsaalkene Me₃SiAs = C(Ph)NMe₂ ( 1 ), which in situ was converted into the black crystalline ferrioarsaalkene [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeAs=C(Ph)NMe₂)] ( 2 ) by treatment with [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeCl]. Compound 2 was protonated by ethereal HBF₄ to yield [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeAs(H)C(Ph)NMe₂]BF₄ ( 3 ) and methylated by CF₃SO₃Me to give [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeAs(Me)C(Ph)NMe₂]‐ SO₃CF₃ ( 4 ). [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeAs[M(CO)_n]C(Ph)NMe₂] ( 5 : [M(CO)_n] = [Fe(CO)₄]; 6 : [Cr(CO)₅]) were isolated from the reaction of 2 with [Fe₂(CO)₉] or [{(Z)‐cyclooctene}Cr(CO)₅], respectively. Compounds 2 – 6 were characterized by means of elemental analyses and spectroscopy (IR, ¹H, ¹³C{¹H}‐NMR). The molecular structure of 2 was determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Reactive EC(p‐p)π‐systems 53 [1]: Reactivity studies on perfluoro‐2‐arsapropene: [2+2]‐cycloaddition reactions and quantum chemical calculations

The extremely labile perfluoro‐2‐arsapropene F₃CAsCF₂ ( 1 ) has been generated by an improved pyrolysis process of Me₃SnAs(CF₃)₂ and found to be stabilized by the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane and tert‐butylphosphaethyne, thus allowing (i) reactivity studies with alkyne derivatives like tBuCP, (iPr)₂NCP, MeCCN(iPr)₂, HCCOEt and (ii) a full NMR investigation of 1 (¹⁹F, ¹³C). Due to the instability of 1 and some of the products, the [2+2]‐cycloaddition reactions gave the expected arsaphospha‐ and arsa‐cyclobutene derivatives, respectively, in moderate to good yields, but in some cases contaminated with side and/or decomposition products. Unequivocal characterization of the novel compounds was accomplished by spectroscopic in‐ vestigations (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ³¹P NMR, IR, MS) supported by comparison with the data of the more stable phosphorus analogues. An interesting isomerization was observed for the 2‐dialkylamino‐4,4‐difluoro‐ 1‐trifluoromethyl‐1‐arsa‐3‐phospha‐2‐cyclobutenes yielding the more stable 3‐dialkylamino‐2,4‐difluoro‐ 1‐trifluoromethyl‐1‐arsa‐2‐phospha‐3‐cyclobutenes. Quantum chemical calculations [B3LYP/6‐311+ G(d,p)] of HAsCH₂, F₃CAsCF₂, and F₃CPCF₂ were carried out to compare the length of the AsC double bond with the literature data and to elucidate substituent effects on its electronic structure. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Neue Kupferkomplexe mit Phosphaalkenliganden. Molekülstruktur von [Cu{P(Mes*)C(NMe2)2}2]BF4 (Mes* = 2,4,6‐tBu3C6H2)

New Copper Complexes Containing Phosphaalkene Ligands. Molecular Structure of [Cu{P(Mes*)C(NMe₂)₂}₂]BF₄ (Mes* = 2,4,6‐tBu₃C₆H₂) Reaction of equimolar amounts of the inversely polarized phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1a ) and copper(I) bromide or copper(I) iodide, respectively, affords complexes [Cu₃X₃{μ‐P(tBu)C(NMe₂)₂}₃] ( 2 ) (X =Br) and ( 3 ) (X = I) as the formal result of the cyclotrimerization of a 1:1‐adduct. Treatment of 1a with [Cu(L)Cl] (L = PiPr₃; SbiPr₃) leads to the formation of compounds [CuCl(L){P(tBu)C(NMe₂)₂}] ( 4a ) (L = PiPr₃) and ( 4b ) (L = SbiPr₃), respectively. Reaction of [(MeCN)₄Cu]BF₄ with two equivalents of PhP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1b ) yields complex [Cu{P(Ph)C(NMe₂)₂}₂]BF₄ ( 5b ). Similarly, compounds [Cu{P(Aryl)C(NMe₂)₂}₂]BF₄ ( 5c (Aryl = Mes and 5d (Aryl = Mes*)) are obtained from ArylP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1c : Aryl = Mes; 1d : Mes*) and [(MeCN)₄Cu]BF₄ in the presence of SbiPr₃. Complexes 2 , 3 , 4a , 4b , and 5b‐5d are characterized by means of elemental analyses and spectroscopy (¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR). The molecular structure of 5d is determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

[2+4] and [2+2] Cycloaddition Reactions of N‐Sulfinyl Carboxylic Acid Amides with (CF3)2BNMe2. Crystal Structure of cyclo‐(CF3)2B‐NMe2‐S(=O)‐N=C(p‐CH3C6H4)‐O

N‐sulfinylacylamides R‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with (CF₃)₂BNMe₂ ( 1 ) to form, by [2+4] cycloaddition, six‐membered rings cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(R)‐O for R = Me ( 2 ), t‐Bu ( 3 ), C₆H₅ ( 4 ), and p‐CH₃C₆H₄ ( 5 ) while N‐sulfinylcarbamic acid esters R‐O‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with 1 to yield mixtures of six‐membered (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(OR)‐O) and four‐membered rings (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N(C=O)OR) for R = Me ( 6 and 9 ), Et ( 7 and 10 ), and C₆H₅ ( 8 and 11 ). The structure of 5 has been determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Regioselective ortho‐Metallation of 2‐Diphenylphosphanylpyridine and (2‐(2‐Diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl)‐1‐3‐dioxalane with Methyltetrakis(trimethylphosphane)cobalt(I)

Co(CH₃)(PMe₃)₄ forms 100 % regioselectively with (2‐(2‐diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl)‐1,3‐dioxalane and 2‐diphenylphosphanyl‐pyridine, by elimination of methane, the four‐membered metallacycles Co{(C₃O₂HC₆H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₃ ( 1 ) and Co{(CNC₄H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₃ ( 4 ). The regioselectivity is independent of the steric requirement of the ortho substituent in the 2‐diphenylphosphanylaryl‐ligands. Oxidative addition with iodomethane transforms 1 and 4 into octahedral, diamagnetic low‐spin d⁶ complexes Co(CH₃)I‐{(C₃O₂HC₆H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₂ ( 2 ) and Co(CH₃)I‐{(CNC₄H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₂ ( 5 ). Under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide, insertion into the Co‐C bond results in ring expansion by forming the new assembled phosphanylbenzoyl complexes Co{(C₄O₃HC₆H₃)‐P(C₆H₅)₂}CO(PMe₃)₂ ( 3 ) and Co{(OCNC₄H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}CO(PMe₃)₂ ( 6 ). The three different types of cobaltacycles are supported by X‐ray diffraction of 1 , 3 , 5 and 6 .     

Insertion Reactions of 1,2‐Disubstituted Olefins with an α‐Diimine Palladium(II) Complex

The migratory insertions of cis or trans olefins CH(X)?CH(Me) (X = Ph, Br, or Et) into the metal–acyl bond of the complex [Pd(Me)(CO)(ⁱPr₂dab)]⁺ [B{3,5‐(CF₃)₂C₆H₃}₄]^? ( 1 ) (ⁱPr₂dab = 1,4‐diisopropyl‐1,4‐diazabuta‐1,3‐diene = N,N′‐(ethane‐1,2‐diylidene)bis[1‐methylethanamine]) are described (Scheme 1). The resulting five‐membered palladacycles were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray analysis. Experimental data reveal some important aspects concerning the regio‐ and stereochemistry of the insertion process. In particular, the presence of a Ph or Br substituent at the alkene leads to the formation of highly regiospecific products. Moreover, in all cases, the geometry of the substituents in the formed palladacycle was the same as in the starting olefin, as a consequence of a cis addition of the Pd–acyl fragment to the C?C bond. Reaction with CO and MeOH of the five‐membered complex derived from trans‐β‐methylstyrene (= [(1E)‐prop‐1‐enyl]benzene) insertion, yielded the 2,3‐substituted γ‐keto ester 9 with an (2RS,3SR)‐configuration (Scheme 3).     

Studien zur Reaktion von [Me2AlP(SiMe3)2]2 mit basenstabilisierten Organogalliumchloriden und ‐hydriden

Investigations on the Reactivity of [Me₂AlP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ with Base‐stabilized Organogalliumhalides and ‐hydrides [Me₂AlP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( 1 ) reacts with dmap?Ga(Cl)Me₂, dmap?Ga(Me)Cl₂, dmap?GaCl₃ and dmap?Ga(H)Me₂ with Al‐P bond cleavage and subsequent formation of heterocyclic [Me₂GaP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( 2 ) as well as dmap?AlMe_xCl_3?x (x = 3 8 ; 2 3 ; 1 4 ; 0 5 ). The reaction between equimolar amounts of dmap?Al(Me₂)P(SiMe₃)₂ and dmap?Ga(t‐Bu₂)Cl yield dmap?Ga(t‐Bu₂)P(SiMe₃)₂ ( 6 ) and dmap?AlMe₂Cl ( 3 ). 2 – 8 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, 2 and 6 also by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Iodination of cyclo‐E5‐Complexes (E=P,As)

In a high‐yield one‐pot synthesis, the reactions of [Cp*M(η⁵‐P₅)] (M=Fe ( 1 ), Ru ( 2 )) with I₂ resulted in the selective formation of [Cp*MP₆I₆]⁺ salts ( 3 , 4 ). The products comprise unprecedented all‐cis tripodal triphosphino‐cyclotriphosphine ligands. The iodination of [Cp*Fe(η⁵‐As₅)] ( 6 ) gave, in addition to [Fe(CH₃CN)₆]²⁺ salts of the rare [As₆I₈]^2? (in 7 ) and [As₄I₁₄]^2? (in 8 ) anions, the first di‐cationic Fe‐As triple decker complex [(Cp*Fe)₂(μ,η^5:5‐As₅)][As₆I₈] ( 9 ). In contrast, the iodination of [Cp*Ru(η⁵‐As₅)] ( 10 ) did not result in the full cleavage of the M?As bonds. Instead, a number of dinuclear complexes were obtained: [(Cp*Ru)₂(μ,η^5:5‐As₅)][As₆I₈]_0.5 ( 11 ) represents the first Ru‐As₅ triple decker complex, thus completing the series of monocationic complexes [(Cp^RM)₂(μ,η^5:5‐E₅)]⁺ (M=Fe, Ru; E=P, As). [(Cp*Ru)₂As₈I₆] ( 12 ) crystallizes as a racemic mixture of both enantiomers, while [(Cp*Ru)₂As₄I₄] ( 13 ) crystallizes as a symmetric and an asymmetric isomer and features a unique tetramer of {AsI} arsinidene units as a middle deck.     

Domino Pd0‐Catalyzed C(sp3)–H Arylation/Electrocyclic Reactions via Benzazetidine Intermediates

The Pd⁰‐catalyzed C(sp³)‐H arylation of 2‐bromo‐N‐methylanilides leads to unstable benzazetidine intermediates that rearrange to benzoxazines through 4π electrocyclic ring‐opening and 6π electrocyclization. The introduction of a bulky, non‐activatable amide group on the nitrogen atom was key to favor the challenging reductive elimination step and disfavor undesired reaction pathways.     

Zur Reaktivität des Ferriophosphaalkens (Z)‐[Cp*(CO)2FeP=C(tBu)NMe2] gegenüber Propiolsäureestern HC≡C‐CO2R (R=Me,Et) und Acetylendicarbonsäureestern RO2C‐C≡C‐CO2R (R=Me,Et, tBu)

On the Reactivity of the Ferriophosphaalkene (Z)‐[Cp*(CO)₂Fe‐P=C(tBu)NMe₂] towards Propiolates HC≡C‐CO₂R (R=Me, Et) and Acetylene Dicarboxylates RO ₂C‐C≡C‐CO₂R (R=Me, Et, tBu) The reaction of equimolar amounts of (Z)‐[Cp*(CO)₂Fe‐P=C(tBu)NMe₂] 3 and methyl‐ and ethyl‐propiolate ( 2a, b ) or of 3 and dialkyl acetylene dicarboxylates 1a (R=Me), 1b (Et), 1c (tBu) afforded the five‐membered metallaheterocycles [Cp*(CO) =C(tBu)NMe₂] ( 4a, b ) and [Cp*(CO) =C(tBu)NMe₂] ( 5a—c ). The molecular structures of 4b and 5a were elucidated by single crystal X‐ray analyses. Moreover, the reactivity of 4b towards ethereal HBF₄ was investigated.
