Abstract
The metallacyclopentanes [M{CH 2CH(R)CH(R′)CH 2}(η 5-C 5Me 5)(PPh 3)] [(1b) M = Rh, R = Me, R′ = H; (1c) M = Rh, R = R′ = Me; (1e) M = Ir, R = Me, R′ = H; (1f) M = Ir, R = R′ = Me; (1g) M = Ir, R = Pr i, R′ = H] were prepared by reacting the appropriate alkylating reagent M′[CH 2CH(R)CH(R′)CH 2]M′ (M′ = Li or MgCl) with the dichlorides of formula [MCl 2(η 5-C 5Me 5)(PPh 3)]. Complexes (1) were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H n.m.r., and mass spectrometry. The X-ray crystal structures of (1c), (1e), and (1f) have been determined. (1c) and (1f) give isostructural P2 1/c crystals, while (1e) crystallizes in the space group C2/c. The cell constants are: (1c), a = 14.982(9), b = 11.058(6), c = 18.421(10) Å, β = 101.13(2)°, Z = 4, R (3 964 reflections, 493 parameters) = 0.0443; (1e), a = 33.63(4), b = 9.29(1), c = 20.56(2) Å, β = 116.6(2)°, Z = 8, R (3 196, 476) = 0.0472; (1f), a = 15.01(2), b = 11.10(1), c = 18.44(2) Å, β = 100.90(4)°, Z = 4, R (4 136, 446) = 0.0334. All compounds possess a structure of the 'three-legged piano stool' type, the major differences lying in the puckering of the metallacyclopentane rings which is larger in the dimethylated derivatives (1c) and (1f) than it is in (1e), where the metallacyclic moiety is rather flattened. The endocyclic C β-C β′, bond in (1e) is 1.34(3) Å, while it is 1.51(1) and 1.52(1) Å in (1c) and (1f), respectively. The rhoda- and irida-cyclopentanes (1a) (M = Rh, R = R′ = H), (1b), (1c), (1d) (M = Ir, R = R′ = H), (1e), and (1f) react under very mild conditions, with BF 3·Bu n 2O and with [CPh 3][PF 6] to give the η 3-allyl complexes [M{η 3-CH 2C(R)C(R′)Me}(η 5-C 5Me 5)(PPh 3)][BF 4] (2) and [M{η 3-CH 2C(R)C(R′)Me}(η 5-C 5Me 5)(PPh 3)][PF 6] (3) [(a) M = Rh, R = R′ = H; (b) M = Rh, R = Me, R′ = H; (c) M = Rh, R = R′ = Me; (d) M = Ir, R = R′ = H; (e) M = Ir, R = Me, R′ = H; (f) M = Ir, R = R′ = Me], respectively, via the regiospecific hydrogen abstraction from the alkyl-substituted β-carbon atom by Lewis acids. Complexes (2) and (3) were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H n.m.r., and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
