Optisch aktive übergangsmetall-komplexe: XXXIII. Substituenteneinfluss auf die racemisierungs geschwindigkeit von (+)579und(−)579−C5H5MN(COC6H5)(NO)P(pC6H4Y)3

In the reaction of C₅H₅Mn(CO)₂(NO)] X] (X] = BF₄], PF₆]) with p-substituted triarylphosphines P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ Y = CF₃, Cl, F, C₆H₅, CH₃, OCH₃, N(CH₃)₂] the asymmetric monosubstitution products C₅H₅Mn(CO)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃] X] are formed, which can be converted into the neutral esters C₅H₅Mn(COOC₁₀H₁₉)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ by natrium menthoxide. The diastereoisomers (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^?C₅H₅Mn(COOC₁₀H₁₉)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ are separated by fractional crystallisation and transformed into the enantiomeric salts (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉-C₅H₅Mn(CO)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃] X] by cleavage with HCl and precipitation with NH₄PF₆. The (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^? rotating salts in the reaction with LiC₆H₅ yield the carbonyl addition products (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^? C₅H₅Mn(COC₆H₅)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ and the ring addition products (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^?(exo-C₆H₅)C₅H₅Mn(CO)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃, which can be separated by chromatography.The salts (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^?C₅H₅Mn(CO)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃] X] and the cyclopentadiene complexes (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉-(exo-C₆H₅)C₅H₅Mn(CO)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ are configurationally stable, whereas the esters (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^?C₅H₅Mn(COOC₁₀H₁₉)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ and the benzoyl complexes (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉^?C₅H₅Mn(COC₆H₅)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ epimerise or racemise in solution.The rate of racemisation of the benzoyl compounds (+)₅₇₉^? and (?)₅₇₉C₅H₅Mn(COC₆H₅)(NO)P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ was measured polarimetrically in the temperature range 0–45° C. It turned out that electron-releasingsubstituents Y in the ligand P(p-C₆H₄?Y)₃ increase the half-lives, whereas electron-attracting substituents decrease the half-lives. There is a linear correlation between the σ-constants of the substituents and the rate constants of the racemisation (reaction constant p = +2.14).
