The reaction of the phosphonium metallates Me₄P[C₅R₅(CO)(Me₃P)$\text{MC(O)=CHC(O}$)R′] (M = W, R = H, R′ = Et (1a); M = Mo, R = Me, R′ = Me (1b)) with the silylating reagent Me₃SiOSO₂CF₃ yields the neutral complexes C₅R₅(CO)(Me₃P)$\text{MC(OSiMe}{}_3\text{)=CHC(O}$)R (2a, 2b) bearing a chelating O(2), C(4)-trimethylsiloxybutenone ligand. The structure of the new compounds is established by the IR, ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectra.     

Reactions of the tertiary phosphines R2PCCCl(CF2)n with group VI hexacarbonyls and salts of platinum and palladium

The tertiary phosphines R₂P$\text{CCCl(C}$F₂)_n (R = C₆H₅ or C₆H₁₁; n = 2,3, or 4) react with M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) to give R₂P$\text{CCCl(C}$F₂)_nM(CO)₅ in which the ligand is bonded to M through P alone. Similar bonding is found in some chloro-complexes of platinum and palladium.     

Reaction of some tertiary phosphines and phosphites with [Co(η5-C5H5)(S2C2{CN}2)]

Reaction of the 16 electron monomer [Co(η⁵-C₅H₅)(S₂C₂{CN}₂)] with various tertiary phosphines and phosphites (L) gives readily the 18 electron monomers [Co(η⁵-C₅H₅)(S₂C₂{CN}₂)L] which for L = P(OR)₃ have J($\text{P}$C₅$\text{H}$₅) ca. 6 Hz but J($\text{P}$C₅$\text{H}$₅) = 0 for L = PR₃.     

High resolution photoelectron studies: Electric field gradient splittings of Cd and Sn 4d energy levels in organometallic compounds

High resolution photoelectron spectra of Me₂Cd (Me = CH₃) in the gas phase, and organotin compounds in the solid state show that the 4d⁹ final state produced in the photoelectron experiment splits in the presence of ligand fields. Only the C₂⁰ crystal field term (the term that transforms like the electric field gradient) contributes to the splitting. The 4d_{$\text{3}\text{2}$} splitting in Me₂Cd and trans-Me₂Sn(BzBz)₂ (BzBz = anion of dibenzoylmethane) are 0.21 ± 0.01 eV and 0.35 ± 0.1 eV respectively. The observed 4d_{$\text{5}\text{2}$} linewidth for Ph₄Sn (Ph = C₆H₅) of 0.67 eV indicates that very narrow linewidths can be obtained on molecular nonconducting solids. The constant spin-orbit splitting values, combined with nuclear field gradients from Mössbauer and NQR measurements, strongly indicate that a previously proposed explanation for the increase in apparent spin-orbit coupling in Cd metal is untenable.     

Synthesis, characterization and reactivity of tetramethylphospholyl complexes of scandium

Reaction of 2 equiv. of (C₄Me₄P)Li(tmeda) (tmeda = tetraethylenediamine) with 1 equiv. of ScCl₃(THF)₃ gave the new compound (η⁵-C₄Me₄P)₂ScCl₂Li(tmeda) (1), which was characterized by X-ray crystallography. A phospholyl moiety in 1 is labile, as demonstrated by reactions of 1 with LiCH(SiMe₃)₂ and Cp^∗Li (Cp^∗ = C₅Me₅) to afford, respectively, (η⁵-Me₄C₄P)Sc[CH(SiMe₃)₂]Cl₂Li(tmeda) (4) and (η⁵-Me₄C₄P)Cp^∗ScCl₂Li(tmeda) (5). Attempts to generate alkyl derivatives of the general type (η⁵-C₄Me₄P)₂ScR (R = alkyl) were unsuccessful.     

Aroyl anion trapping reactions. A preliminary study of direct nucleophilic aroylation by means of low temperature, insitu (CH3)nC6H5nLi/CO Systems.

Results of studies of the $\text{in}$$\text{situ}$ nucleophilic aroylation of PhCO₂Me, Me₃CCO₂Me and Ph₂CO by several low temperature ArLi/CO systems (Ar =C₆H₅, p-CH₃C₆H₄, $\text{o}$-CH₃C₆H₄, 2,6-(CH₃)₂C₆H₃ and 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂) are reported. The experiments with C₆H₅Li were unsuccessful and the best results were obtained with 2,6-(CH₃)₂-C₆H₃Li.     

Synthese d'une phosphine contenant du titane(II), (η5-C5H5)[η7-C7H6P(C6H5)2]Ti,ET DEcomplexes heterobimetalliques

Reaction of chlorodiphenylphosphine with (η⁵-C₅H₅)(η⁷-C₇H₆Li)Ti gave (η⁵-C₅H₅)[η⁷-C₇H₆P(C₆H₅)₂]Ti in good yields. This novel phosphinetitanium (II) derivative displaced one carbonyl of metal carbonyl complexes [Ni(CO)₄, Fe(CO)₅ and Mo(CO)₆] to afford heterobimetallic complexes containing low valent titanium, and behaved as a poor electron-donating phosphine.     

A Nickel Complex Containing a Pyramidalized,Ambiphilic Pincer Germylene Ligand

Reaction of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized PGeP-type germylene Ge{o-(PiPr₂)C₆H₄}₂⋅^MeIiPr ( 1 ) (^MeIiPr=1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) with Ni(cod)₂ gave pincer germylene complex Ni[Ge{o-(PiPr₂)C₆H₄}₂](^MeIiPr) ( 2 ), in which the Ge center of 2 is significantly pyramidalized. Theoretical calculation on 2 predicted the ambiphilicity of the germanium center, which was confirmed by reactivity studies. Thus, complex 2 reacted with both Lewis base ^MeIMe (^MeIMe=1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) and Lewis acid BH₃⋅SMe₂ at the germanium center to afford the adducts Ni[Ge{o-(PiPr₂)C₆H₄}₂⋅^MeIMe](^MeIiPr) ( 3 ) and Ni[Ge{o-(PiPr₂)C₆H₄}₂⋅BH₃](^MeIiPr) ( 4 ), respectively. Furthermore, the former was slowly converted to dinuclear complex Ni₂[Ge{o-(PiPr₂)C₆H₄}₂]₂(^MeIMe)₂ ( 5 ) at room temperature. Complex 5 can be regarded as a dimer of the ^MeIMe analog of 2 with a Ni-Ge-Ge-Ni linkage.     

Syntheses of σ-cyclobut-1-en-3-onyl complexes by cycloaddition of ketenes to some transition metal alkynyl complexes

Reactions of ketenes (R¹R²CCO) with (η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(PPh₃)CCR (I) and (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(L)CCR (III, L = CO and PPh₃) give σ-cyclobut-1-en-3-onyl complexes, {(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(PPh₃)$\text{CC(R)COC}$}R¹R² (VI) and (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(L)$\text{CC(R)COC}$R¹R² (IX)}, (2 + 2) cycloaddition products, in good yields. The σ-cyclobutenonyl complexes also can be prepared by the reaction of I and III with acyl chlorides in the presence of triethylamine.     

Stibinidenkomplexe: Verbindungen mit trigonal planar koordiniertem antimon

Intensively coloured stibinidene complexes (L_nM)₂SbR (L_nM = (CO)₅Cr; R = ^tBu, Cl, I, EtS. L_nM = C₅H₅(CO)₂Mn; R = Cl. L_nM = CH₃C₅H₄(CO)₂Mn; R = Br) which contain trigonally planar coordinated Sb(+1) with the stibanediyl ligand stabilized by M $\text{?}$ Sb(R) $\text{?}$ M-π-bonding have been obtained. Their synthesis and properties as well as an X-ray structure determination of [CH₃C₅H₄(CO)₂Mn]₂SbBr are described.     

Darstellung ylidischer metallacyclopropankomplexe durch ringverkleinerung metallacyclischer vinylketonkomplexe. Molekülstruktur von C5H5W(CO)2[(PMe3)HC-CH(COMe)]

The addition of trimethylphosphane to five-membered metallacyclic vinylketone complexes of the type Ar$\text{M(CO)}{}_2\text{(HCCHCO}$R) (I) (Ar = η⁵-aromatic ring system: C₅H₅, C₅H₄Me, C₅Me₅; R = Me, Et, n-Bu; M = Mo, W) in pentane solution results in the formation of the ylidic metallacyclopropane complexes Ar$\text{M(CO)}{}_2\text{[(PMe}{}_3\text{)-HCC}$H(COR)] (II). In these 1:1 adducts the three-membered ring is stabilized by an electron-donating phosphonium and an electron-attracting acyl substituent. The negative charge in the ylidic complexes II is localized on the central metal providing it with Lewis base properties. An extraordinary high electron density can be observed on the metal of the derivative C₅H₅$\text{W(CO)(PMe}{}_3\text{)[(PMe}{}_3\text{)HCC}$H-(COMe)] (III) which is formed by a 1:2 addition of C₅H₅W(CO)(C₂H₂)-(COMe) and PMe₃. The metallacyclopropane complexes II and III are characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR and mass spectroscopy. For C₅H₅$\text{W(CO)}{}_2\text{[(PMe}{}_3\text{)HCC}$H(COMe)], the results of an X-ray structure determination are presented.     

N-halogeno-compounds. Part 9 [1]. Azoxy- and azo-arenes derived from 4-(dichloroamino)tetrafluoropyridine; crystal structure of trans-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl-onn-azoxy)pyridine

The nitrosoarenes ArNO (Ar = C₆H₅, 2-MeC₆H₄, 2,4,6- Me₃C₆H₂ and C₆F₅) have been condensed with 4-(dichloroamino)- tetrafluoropyridine to provide the azoxy-compounds py_FN$\text{N}\text{+}$($\text{N}\text{-}$)Ar (py_F = 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-pyridyl); de-oxygenation of the first three with triphenylphosphine or triethyl phosphite gave the corresponding azo-compounds, and the reverse reaction was achieved in the case of py_FNNC₆H₂Me₃-2,4,6 using peroxytrifluoroacetic acid. Thermolysis of 4-azidotetrafluoropyridine in the presence of pentafluoronitrosobenzene provided the perfluorinated azoxy-compound py_FN$\text{N}\text{+}$($\text{O}\text{-}$)C₆F₅. X-Ray methods have been used to determine the molecular geometry of py_FN$\text{N}\text{+}$($\text{O}\text{-}$)C₆H₂Me₃-2,4,6.     

Aluminum(III) Cations [(NHC) ⋅ AlMes2]+: Synthesis,Characterization, and Application in FLP-Chemistry

The three-coordinate aluminum cations ligated by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) [(NHC) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ (NHC=IMe^Me 4 , IiPr^Me 5 , IiPr 6 , Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) were prepared via hydride abstraction of the alanes (NHC) ⋅ AlHMes₂ (NHC=IMe^Me 1 , IiPr^Me 2 , IiPr 3 ) using [Ph₃C]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ in toluene as hydride acceptor. If this reaction was performed in diethyl ether, the corresponding four-coordinate aluminum etherate cations [(NHC) ⋅ AlMes₂(OEt₂)]⁺ [B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ 7 – 9 (NHC=IMe^Me 7 , IiPr^Me 8 , IiPr 9 ) were isolated. According to a theoretical and experimental assessment of the Lewis-acidity of the [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺ cation is the acidity larger than that of B(C₆F₅)₃ and of similar magnitude as reported for Al(C₆F₅)₃. The reaction of [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ 4 with the sterically less demanding, basic phosphine PMe₃ afforded a mixed NHC/phosphine stabilized cation [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂(PMe₃)]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ 10 . Equimolar mixtures of 4 and the sterically more demanding PCy₃ gave a frustrated Lewis-pair (FLP), i.e., [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻/PCy₃ FLP-11 , which reacts with small molecules such as CO₂, ethene, and 2-butyne.     

Stabilization of a Silaaldehyde by its η2 Coordination to Tungsten

Treatment of pyridine‐stabilized silylene complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄R)(CO)₂(H)W?SiH(py)(Tsi)] (R=Me, Et; py=pyridine; Tsi=C(SiMe₃)₃) with an N‐heterocyclic carbene ^MeIⁱPr (1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene) caused deprotonation to afford anionic silylene complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄R)(CO)₂W?SiH(Tsi)][H^MeIⁱPr] (R=Me ( 1‐Me ); R=Et ( 1‐Et )). Subsequent oxidation of 1‐Me and 1‐Et with pyridine‐N‐oxide (1 equiv) gave anionic η²‐silaaldehydetungsten complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄R)(CO)₂W{η²‐O?SiH(Tsi)}][H^MeIⁱPr] (R=Me ( 2‐Me ); R=Et ( 2‐Et )). The formation of an unprecedented W‐Si‐O three‐membered ring was confirmed by X‐ray crystal structure analysis.     

Epoxidation with the H2O2/vilsmeier reagent system

Alkenes $\text{1}$ a–d interact at ?80°C in 15 min. with the Vilsmeier reagent $\text{I}$ (Me₂N=CHCl)⁺PO₂Cl₂^? in presence of 30% H₂O₂ to yield the corresponding epoxides $\text{3}$ a–d. The reaction could involve the formation of the highly reactive hydroperoxymethylenedimethylammonium salt (Me₂N=CHOOH)⁺PO₂Cl^?₂$\text{II}$.     

X-ray structure and dynamic behaviour in solution of N-methylthio-N'-2,6-dimethylphenyl).2,6-dimethyl-1,4-quinonediimine formed by the alcoholysis of [Me2 Al{2,6-Me2C6H3NS(Me)NC6H3Me2-2,6}]2

Reaction of [Me₂Al{RNS(Me)NR}]₂ (R = 2,6-Me₂C₆H₃) with t-BuOH affords N-methylthio-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-quinonediimine in 67% yield. The X-ray structure of this compound shows that two conformational isomers are present in the solid. Temperature dependent ¹³C and ¹H NMR measurements show that in solution these conformers exchange at a rate which is fast on the NMR time scale at + 60°C and slow at ?₆₀°C. From the coalescence point of two of the ¹³C resonances, the free energy of activation is estimated to be 13.7 + 1.0 $\text{kcal}\text{mol}$ at 10°C. Possible processes for the exchange are discussed, and also a reaction scheme for the formation of the title compound is discussed.     

A 29Si, 13C and 1H NMR study of the interaction of various halotrimethylsilanes and trimethylsilyl triflate with dimethyl formamide and acetonitrile,a comment on the nucleophile induced racemisation of halosilanes

The ²⁹Si, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of $\text{1}\text{1}$ mixtures of Me₃SiI and Me₃SiOSO₂CF₃ with DMF in CD₂Cl₂ show signals that are consistent with the formation of Me₃SiO$\text{C}\text{+}$H(NMe₂)X^? but not with penta- or hexa-coordinate silicon species. The spectra of a $\text{1}\text{1}$ mixture of Me₃SiBr and DMF show a rapidly exchanging, equilibrium mixture of Me₃SiO$\text{C}\text{+}$H(NMe₂)Br^? and starting materials. No strong evidence for salt formation between DMF and Me₃SiCl was obtained. The spectra of Me₃SiX (X = I, Br, Cl, OSO₂CF₃) in CD₃CN indicate that neither adduct formation nor extra coordination at silicon is significant.     

Cyanosugars III : The reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide with keto,epoxy and acetal derivatives of carbohydrates

Reaction of methyl 2-acetamido-4,6-$\text{O}$-benzylidene-2-deoxy-α-$\text{D}$-$\text{ribo}$-hexopyranosid-3-ulose with Me₃SiCN afforded methyl 2-acetamido-4,6-$\text{O}$-benzylidene-3-$\text{C}$-cyano-2-deoxy-3-$\text{O}$-trimethylsilyl-α-$\text{D}$-$\text{allo}$- Reaction of ethyl 4,6-di-$\text{O}$-acetyl-2,3-anhydro-α-$\text{D}$-mannopyranoside with Me₃SiCN gave the corresponding ethyl 4,6-di-$\text{O}$-acetyl-2-$\text{C}$-cyano-2-deoxy-α-$\text{D}$-glucopyranoside. Reaction of methyl 4,6-$\text{O}$-benzylidene-2,3-anhydro-α-$\text{D}$-allopyranoside or methyl 4,6-$\text{O}$-benzylidene-2,3-di-$\text{O}$-tosyl-α-$\text{D}$-glucopyranoside with Me₃SiCN at - 75° or - 50° gave the corresponding methyl 6-$\text{O}$-[(R)-cyano phenyl methyl]-α-$\text{D}$-glyco-pyranosides with high or total regio and stereoselectivity.     

Übergangsmetall-substituierte acylphosphane und phosphaalkene: XI. Phosphaalkenyl-, disilylphosphido- und diacylphosphidokomplexe des dicarbonylpentamethylcyclopentadienylosmium. Zur kenntnis von [(η5-C5Me5)Os(CO)2]2

The reaction of Os₃(CO)₁₂ with C₅Me₅H in boiling decalin gives the complexes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂OsH and [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Os]₂. Both compounds were converted into (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂OsP(SiMe₃)₂ (III) via the intermediate form (η⁵-C₅-Me₅)(CO)₂OsBr. Complex III was treated with ArC(O)Cl (Ar = Ph, 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂) to give mixtures of the phosphaalkenyl complexes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂OsPC(OSiMe₃)(Ar) (IVa, b) and the diacylphosphido complexes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂-OsP[C(O)Ar]₂ (Va, b). Pivaloyl chloride underwent reaction with III to give complex Vc as the only product. The synthesis of the complexes IVa, b includes an E/Z isomerization process.     

π-olefin-iridium-komplexe: XII. Umsetzung von chloro-cyclooctadien-methyl-imidazoyl-iridium mit methyl- oder phenyllithium; ungewöhnliche bildung eines iridacyclopentadienyl-komplexes

Reaction of CH₃li with (cod)Ir(mid)Cl (I) (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; mid = 1-methylimidazole) in hexano yields a $\text{1}\text{1}$ mixture of two geometric isomers of [(cod)IrL]₂ (IIa, IIb) where L is a μ-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1,2,2-triyl ligand. From the reaction of I with C₆H₅Li a mixture is obtained of IIa, IIb, and a dinuclear complex containing a dibenzoiridacyclopentadienyl unit; the latter has been characterized crystallographically.
