Polynuclear Iron/Tantalum and Tantalum Complexes with As_n Ligands Starting with [Cp@Ta(CO)₄] ( 1 ) (Cp@ = C₅H₃^tBu₂‐1,3) and As₄ or (^tBuAs)₄ ( 2 ) its thermolysis at 190 °C in decalin gives [{Cp@Ta}₂(μ‐η⁴ : η⁴‐As₈)] ( 3 ), which is also formed according to equation (2) in addition to [{Cp@Ta}₃As₆] ( 5 ).

An efficient approach for the preparation of functionalized 2‐aryl‐2,5‐dihydro‐5‐oxo‐4‐[2‐(phenylmethylidene)hydrazino]‐1H‐pyrroles is described.

A plausible mechanism for this type of reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).

Synthesis and Structure of a 2, 8, 9‐Trioxa‐3, 5, 7‐trisila‐1‐titanaadamantane

The title compound has been prepared from [Ti(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)Cl₃] and cis‐cis‐(t‐BuSi(OH)—CH₂)₃ in hexane solution in the presence of Et₃N. The pale yellow complex was characterized by NMR and MS spectra, as well as by a crystal structure determination. The two crystallographic independent molecules in the triclinic unit cell (space group P1¯, No. 2, Z = 4) both have a nearly identical adamantane‐like TiO₃Si₃C₃ cage of approximate C_3v symmetry. The exocyclic C—C—C bond angles in the Cp‐ligand range from 123° to 129°. A quantum chemical calculation of the free molecule predicts this range to be 124° to 127°. The arrangement of the molecules in the crystal is characteristic for an offset face‐to‐face ππ stacking of the aromatic η⁵‐C₅Me₅ rings.

The reaction of 4‐Amino‐6‐methyl‐1, 2, 4‐triazine‐3(2H)‐thione‐5‐one (AMTTO, 1 ) with silver nitrate in methanol led to the dimeric complex {[(AMTTO)₂Ag]NO₃}₂ ( 2 ). 2 was characterized by elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy as well as by X‐ray structure analysis.

Three‐Step Synthesis of 3‐Aryl‐2‐sulfanylthieno[2,3‐b]‐, ‐[2,3‐c]‐, or ‐[3,2‐c]pyridines from the Corresponding Aryl(halopyridinyl)methanones

A convenient three‐step procedure for the synthesis of three types of 3‐aryl‐2‐sulfanylthienopyridines 4, 8 , and 12 has been developed. The first step of the synthesis of thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine derivatives 4 is the replacement of the halo with a (sulfanylmethyl)sulfanyl group in aryl(2‐halopyridin‐3‐yl)methanones 1 by successive treatment with Na₂S?9 H₂O and chloromethyl sulfides to give aryl{2‐[(sulfanylmethyl)sulfanyl]pyridin‐3‐yl}methanones 2 . In the second step, these were treated with LDA (LiNⁱPr₂) to give 3‐aryl‐2,3‐dihydro‐2‐sulfanylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridin‐3‐ols 3 , which were dehydrated in the last step with SOCl₂ in the presence of pyridine to give the desired products. Similarly, thieno[2,3‐c]pyridine and thieno[3,2‐c]pyridine derivatives, 8 and 12 , respectively, can be prepared from aryl(3‐chloropyridin‐4‐yl)methanones 5 and aryl(4‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)methanones 9 , respectively.     

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐dien‐ und 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl‐Komplexe des Rhodiums und Iridiums

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene and 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl Complexes of Rhodium and Iridium The complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)RhCl]₂ ( 1 ) (C₇H₁₂ = 2, 4‐dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene) and [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)₂IrCl] ( 2 ) were obtained by interaction of C₇H₁₂ with [(η²‐C₂H₄)₂RhCl]₂ and [(η²‐cyclooctene)₂IrCl]₂, respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with CpTl (Cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅) yields the compounds [CpM(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)] ( 3a : M = Rh; 3b : M = Ir). The hydride abstraction at the pentadiene ligand of 3a , b with Ph₃CBF₄ proceeds differently depending on the solvent. In acetone or THF the “half‐open” metallocenium complexes [CpM(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)]BF₄ ( 4a : M = Rh; 4b : M = Ir) are obtained exclusively. In dichloromethane mixtures are produced which additionally contain the species [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)M(η⁵‐C₅H₄CPh₃)]BF₄ ( 5a : M = Rh; 5b : M = Ir) formed by electrophilic substitution at the Cp ring, as well as the η³‐2, 4‐dimethylpentenyl compound [(η³‐C₇H₁₃)Rh{η⁵‐C₅H₃(CPh₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 6 ). By interaction of 2, 4‐dimethylpentadienyl potassium with 1 or 2 the complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)M(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)] ( 7a : M = Rh; 7b : M = Ir) are generated which show dynamic behaviour in solution; however, attempts to synthesize the “open” metallocenium cations [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)₂M]⁺ by hydride abstraction from 7a , b failed. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopically, 4b and 5a also by X‐ray structure analysis.

The title compound was prepared by reaction of N, N‐dimethyldithiocarbamate sodium with l‐bromo‐l‐(4‐methoxyphenylcarbonyl)‐2‐(1, 2, 4‐triazole‐l‐yl) ethane. Its crystal structure has been determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic with space group Pī, a = 0.7339(2) nm, b = 1.1032(2) nm, c = 1.1203(2) nm, a = 90.27(3)°, β = 102.03(3)°, γ = 104.91(3)°, Z=2, V = 0.8556(3) nm³, D_c = 1.360 g/cm³, μ =0.325 mm^?1, F(000)=368, final R₁ =0.0475. The planes of 4‐methoxybenzyl group and triazole ring are nearly perpendicular to each other. The dihedral angle is 83.97°. There is an obvious π‐π stacking interaction between the molecules in the crystal lattice. The results of biological test show that the title compound has fungicidal and plant growth regulating activities.

A Convenient Synthesis of 2,3‐Dihydro‐4H‐thiopyrano[2,3‐b]‐, ‐[2,3‐c]‐, or ‐[3,2‐c]pyridin‐4‐ones by the Reaction of the Corresponding 1‐(Chloropyridinyl)alk‐2‐en‐1‐ones with NaSH

2,3‐Dihydro‐4H‐thiopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4‐ones 4 were prepared by a three‐step sequence from commercially available 2‐chloropyridine ( 1 ). Thus, successive treatment of 1 with ⁱPr₂NLi (LDA) and α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes gave 1‐(2‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)alk‐2‐en‐1‐ols 2 , which were oxidized with MnO₂ to 1‐(2‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)alk‐2‐en‐1‐ones 3 . The reactions of 3 with NaSH?n H₂O proceeded smoothly at 0° in DMF to provide the desired thiopyranopyridinones. Similarly, 2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐thiopyrano[2,3‐c]pyridin‐4‐ones 8 and 2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐thiopyrano[3,2‐c]pyridin‐4‐ones 12 were obtained starting from 3‐chloropyridine ( 5 ) and 4‐chloropyridine ( 9 ), respectively.

Triangulated Dodecahedral Heterotrimetallic‐ and ‐tetrametallic Iron–Ruthenium Clusters with Cp^R and P_n Ligands (n = 5, 4) The cothermolysis of [Cp*Fe(η⁵‐P₅)] ( 1 ) and [{Cp″(OC)₂Ru}₂](Ru–Ru) ( 2 ), Cp″ = C₅H₃But₂‐1,3, affords low yields of [Cp″Ru(η⁵‐P₅)] ( 3 ) and [{Cp″Ru}₂P₄] ( 4 ) as well as the triangulated dodecahedral hetero‐ and homotrimetallic clusters [{Cp″Ru}₂{Cp*Fe}P₅] ( 5 ), [{Cp″Ru}₃P₅] ( 6 ), [{Cp*Fe}₂{Cp″Ru}P₅] ( 7 ) and the tetranuclear compound [{Cp″Ru}₃{Cp*Fe}P₄] ( 8 ). X‐ray crystallographic studies show that the P₅ ligand in the distorted M₂M′P₅‐triangulated dodecahedra of 5 and 7 offers an unusual novel coordination mode derived from the educt 1 .     

One‐Pot Synthesis of 3‐Alkoxy‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐ones by the Reactions of 2‐(Azidomethyl)benzoates with NaH

A new and facile method for the general preparation of 3‐alkoxy‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐ones has been developed. Thus, the reaction of 2‐(azidomethyl)benzoates with NaH affords, after workup with H₂O, 3‐alkoxy‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐ones 2 . 2‐Substituted 3‐alkoxy‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐ones 4 can be obtained by adding alkyl halides prior to workup with H₂O.

EPR Spectroscopy of 4, 4′‐Bis(tert‐butyl)‐2, 2′‐bipyridine‐1, 2‐dithiolatocuprates(II) in Host Lattices with Different Coordination Geometries

A series of new heteroleptic MN₂S₂ transition metal complexes with M = Cu²⁺ for EPR measurements and as diamagnetic hosts Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Pd²⁺ were synthesized and characterized. The ligands are N₂ = 4, 4′‐bis(tert‐butyl)‐2, 2′‐bipyridine (tBu₂bpy) and S₂ =1, 2‐dithiooxalate, (dto), 1, 2‐dithiosquarate, (dtsq), maleonitrile‐1, 2‐dithiolate, or 1, 2‐dicyanoethene‐1, 2‐dithiolate, (mnt). The Cu^II complexes were studied by EPR in solution and as powders, diamagnetically diluted in the isostructural planar [Ni^II(tBu₂bpy)(S₂)] or[Pd^II(tBu₂bpy)(S₂)] as well as in tetrahedrally coordinated[Zn^II(tBu₂bpy)(S₂)] host structures to put steric stress on the coordination geometry of the central CuN₂S₂ unit. The spin density contributions for different geometries calculated from experimental parameters are compared with the electronic situation in the frontier orbital, namely in the semi‐occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) of the copper complex, derived from quantum chemical calculations on different levels (EHT and DFT). One of the hosts, [Ni^II(tBu₂bpy)(mnt)], is characterized by X‐ray structure analysis to prove the coordination geometry. The complex crystallizes in a square‐planar coordination mode in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with Z = 4 and the unit cell parameters a = 10.4508(10) Å, b = 18.266(2) Å, c = 12.6566(12) Å, β = 112.095(7)°. Oxidation and reductions potentials of one of the host complexes, [Ni(tBu₂bpy)(mnt)], were obtained by cyclovoltammetric measurements.
