Beiträge zur chemie des iodpentafluorids teil III. Chelatisierung und strukturisomerie bei α,β-methylierten IOD(V)-α,β-ethandiolat-fluoriden

We report metathetical reactions of IF₅ with series of α,β-trimethylsilylated ethanediolates with increasing numbers of CH₃-groups in α- and β-positions. Short lived intermediates IF₄OC₂H_4?n(CH₃)_nO]X with X = Si(CH₃)₃ or IF₄ and stable chelates IF₃OC₂H_4?n(CH₃)_nO] and IFOC₂H_4?n(CH₃)_nO]₂ (n = 0–4) are observed and characterized. Time and temperature dependence of ¹⁹F-NMR-spectra in relation to degree of methylation, arrangement and stereo-chemistry are discussed referring to previously published mono- and polynuclear I(V)-compounds containing a series of monodentate alcoholates CH_3?n(CH₃)_nO^? and (CH₃)₃CCH₂O^? (n = 0,2,3) 1,2] and of bidentate alcoholates ^?O(CH₂)_nO^? (n = 2,3,4,5,6,12) 1]. In contrast to aliphatic α,β-diolates the aromatic diolates 1,2-C₆H₄(O^?)₂, 1,2-C₆Cl₄(O^?)₂ rapidly undergo redox reactions even at low temperatures.
