The reactivity of NbCl5, NbF5 and TaCl5 with a selection of commercial imines was investigated for the first time by using dichloromethane as reaction medium. NbCl5 reacted with Ph2C=NH, in 1:2 molar ratio, affording [Ph2C=NH2][NbCl5(N=CPh2)], 1, in 55% yield, as result of imine self-protonation.

The 1:1 reactions of NbF5 with Ph2C=NH and PhCH=NtBu were accompanied by electron interchange and led to the isolation of the salts [Ph2C=NH2][NbF6], 4, and [PhCH=NHtBu][NbF6], 5, respectively, in ca. 50% yields. Few crystals of [Ph2C=NH2]2[Ta2Cl10O], 6, were recovered from TaCl5/Ph2C=NH, the anion being probably generated by the action of adventitious water. Compounds 1-6 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 1, 4 and 6 were ascertained by X-ray diffraction studies.

Abstract
The reactivity of NbCl5, NbF5 and TaCl5 with a selection of commercial imines was investigated for the first time by using dichloromethane as reaction medium. NbCl5 reacted with Ph2C=NH, in 1:2 molar ratio, affording [Ph2C=NH2][NbCl5(N=CPh2)], 1, in 55% yield, as result of imine self-protonation. The iminium salt [PhCH=NHtBu][NbCl6], 2, was isolated in 52% yield from NbCl5 and PhCH=NtBu (1:1 molar ratio), while a low yield of [tBu2C=NH2][NbCl6], 3, was identified from NbCl5/tBu2C=NH. The 1:1 reactions of NbF5 with Ph2C=NH and PhCH=NtBu were accompanied by electron interchange and led to the isolation of the salts [Ph2C=NH2][NbF6], 4, and [PhCH=NHtBu][NbF6], 5, respectively, in ca. 50% yields. Few crystals of [Ph2C=NH2]2[Ta2Cl10O], 6, were recovered from TaCl5/Ph2C=NH, the anion being probably generated by the action of adventitious water. Compounds 1-6 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 1, 4 and 6 were ascertained by X-ray diffraction studies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
