Abstract: | Gentle thermolysis of the 18e alkyl-allyl complex, CpW(NO)(CH(2)CMe(3))(eta(3)-3,3-Me(2)C(3)H(3)) (1), generates a reactive 16e allene intermediate, CpW(NO)(eta(2)-CH(2)=C=CMe(2)) (A), with the concomitant evolution of neopentane via hydrogen abstraction from the dimethylallyl ligand. A has been structurally characterized as its PMe(3) adduct and is capable of effecting single and multiple C-H bond activations of hydrocarbon solvents. For example, the thermal reaction of 1 with cyclohexane leads to the formation of the 18e cyclohexenyl hydrido complex, CpW(NO)(eta(3)-C(6)H(9))(H) (5), as a result of three successive C-H activations of the alkane solvent. |
