[(η6-Trindane)Mn(CO)3][BF4] (1) reacts with tert-BuOK in THF in the presence of alkyl halides (CH2=CHCH2Br, CH3I) to yield the corresponding (η6-C15H18)Mn(CO)2X, where X = Br (3) or I (4). In contrast, 1 and tert-BuOK react, in the presence of a donor ligand, to generate (η5-C15H15)Mn(CO)2L, where L = CO (7), P(OMe)3 (8), or PPh3 (9), in which the metal has migrated from the central ring onto a peripheral ring that has lost three hydrogens; [(η6-indane)Mn(CO)3][BF4] behaves similarly. A mechanism is proposed in which the initially formed (η6-trindane)Mn(CO)2CO2-tert-Bu suffers the loss of CO2 and isobutene to yield the hydride, (η6-trindane)Mn(CO)2H, that in turn undergoes three successive C-H insertions with concomitant loss of two molecules of dihydrogen. In contrast, [(η6-tetralin)Mn(CO)3][PF6] (17) and [(η6-dibenzosuberane)Mn(CO)3][BF4] (23) each suffer deprotonation at a benzylic site. In the first case, the zwitterion formed attacks its progenitor to yield a tetralenyl-substituted (η5-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 complex (21); however, for the dibenzosuberane complex (23) the elimination product (28) is stable. X-ray crystal structures are reported for 3, 4, 7, 8, 23, 28, and for the phosphite complexes [(η6-trindane)Mn(CO){P(OMe)3}2][BF4] (15) and [(η6-tetralin)Mn(CO)2{P(OMe)3}][PF6] (20).Key words: arene-manganese, organometallic cations, deprotonations, X-ray crystallography.

A series of C6Ph5X compounds, including X = H, Br, CO2H, CO2R, C[Formula: see text]CPh, cis-BrC=C(Br)Ph, 2-bornenyl, and ferrocenyl, have been characterized by use of X-ray crystallography. Also, the first organometallic complexes of pentaphenylbenzene have been prepared by reaction with chromium hexacarbonyl to yield (η6-C6Ph5H)Cr(CO)3 complexes in which the metal tripod is attached either to an ortho peripheral ring or to the central ring. Crystalline pentaphenylbenzoic acid exists as a hydrogen-bonded dimer; however, the steric bulk of the substituents does not allow the carboxylic acid moieties to be linked directly but instead via two bridging methanol molecules. In the solid state, the orientation of the peripheral rings in bulky C6Ph5X systems is very sensitive to the size of the “X” substituents, such that the twist angle of the para ring responds inversely with increasing bulk of “X”, which drives the ortho rings farther out of the plane of the central ring. The relevance of these observations to correlated motion in molecular propellers, and ultimately to molecular machines, is discussed.

Reaction of the Grubbs catalyst RuCl2(PCy3)2(CHPh) (1) with lithium 2-[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]pyrrolide·Et2O (LiNN′·Et2O) gives alkylidene complex 5, containing a chelating, σ-bound iminopyrrolato unit. The structure of 5 is confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Treatment of 5 with pyridine generates RuCl(NN′)(py)2(CHPh) (6) via displacement of PCy3. Complex 5 effects ring-closing metathesis in air, displaying high reactivity relative to 6.Key words: ruthenium, alkylidene, metathesis, pyrrolimine, iminopyrrolato.

First Time

Reaction of [WI2(CO)3(NCMe)2] with two equivalents of 1-phenyl-1-propyne (MeC2Ph) in CH2Cl2, and in the absence of light, gave the bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne) complex [WI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (1) in 77% yield. Treatment of equimolar quantities of 1 and NCR (R = Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph) in CH2Cl2 afforded the nitrile-exchanged products, [WI2(CO)(NCR)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (2-5) (R = Et (2), i-Pr (3), t-Bu (4), Ph (5)). Complexes 1, 2, and 5 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. All three structures have the same pseudo-octahedral geometry, with the equatorial sites being occupied by cis and parallel alkyne groups, which are trans to the cis-iodo groups. The trans carbon monoxide and acetonitrile ligands occupy the axial sites. In structures 1 and 2, the methyl and phenyl substituents of the 1-phenyl-1-propyne ligands are cis to each other, whereas for the bulkier NCPh complex (5), the methyl and phenyl groups are trans to one another. This is the first time that this arrangement has been observed in the solid state in bis(alkyne) complexes of this type.Key words: bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne), carbonyl, nitrile, diiodo, tungsten(II), crystal structures.

Wittig Reactions

At lower temperatures stabilized ylides react with unsymmetrically substituted phthalic anhydrides to give two acyclic adducts. When the reactions are allowed to proceed at higher temperature enol lactones are formed. Identification of the acyclic intermediates was necessary to understand the mechanism of these Wittig reactions. The transient species trapped in the reaction with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate were unambiguously identified by crystallographic methods. The crystal structures of the tetrafluoroborate salt of methyl(triphenylphosphoranyl idene)- acetate (8), methyl(3-methoxy,2-methoxycarbonylbenzoyl)triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (6β), and methyl(2-methoxycarbonyl,6-nitrobenzoyl)triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (7α) were studied by X-ray diffraction. The ionic salt (8) is monoclinic, P21c,a= 12.640(5), b = 13.945(9), c = 14.825(6) Å, β = 125.32(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.065 (F >5.4 σ(F)). Crystal 6 β is monoclinic, P21c,a = 16.391(16), b = 9.029(6), c = 19.835(19) Å, β = 116.60(6)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.070 (F > 4.6 σ(F)), while crystal 7α is also monoclinic, P21c,a = 9.513(5), b = 9.361(3), c = 30.908(13) Å, β = 98.42(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.057 (F >5 σ(F)). In the BF 4- salt (12), the four P-C distances are equal (1.791(5)-1.801(7) Å) with identical tetrahedral angles. For the two triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate compounds, the fourth P-C(1) bond is shorter (1.762(6)-1.734(5) Å) than the three P-C(Ph) bonds (avg. 1.809(5) Å). The angles C(1)-P-C(Ph) are also larger (avg. 112.9(2)° for 6β and 111.9(2)° for 7α) than the C(Ph)-P-C(Ph) angles (avg. 105.8(2)° for 6 β and 106.9(2)° for 7α). These values suggest a multiple nature for the P-C(1) bond. In the nitro derivative, the nitro and the ester groups are disordered equally in positions 2 and 6.

An efficient gram scale synthesis of the previously unknown 4,7-di-tert-butylacenaphthenone (3b) is reported. The facile isomerization of epoxide 9b to ketone 3b occurs simply on stirring a solution of 9b with silica gel at room temperature. Aldol cyclotrimerization of 3b with titanium tetrachloride gives 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa-tert-butylde cacyclene (1b) in 58% isolated yield. X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for the synthetic intermediates 4,7-di-tert-butylacenaphthene (2b) and 4,7-di-tert-butylacenaphthylene (8b).Key words: aromatic, decacyclene, hydrocarbon, nonalternant, polycyclic.

Reaction of McConville's chelating amido titanium complex [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]Ti(CH3)2 (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) with either elemental Se or the tellurium atom source Te=PBu3 resulted in the formation of bis-µ-chalcogenido dimers [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]2Ti(µ-E)2 (E = Se, 2; Te, 3) with concommitant loss of EMe2. The dimers 2 and 3 were characterized spectroscopically and via X-ray crystallography. The two compounds are isostructural in the solid state. The tellurido dimer 3 may also be synthesized by reduction of the diamido dichloride [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]2TiCl2 with Na–Hg amalgam followed by treatment with Te=PBu3. This dimer is unreactive toward further Te=PBu3 or stannanes such as HSnBu3. Unlike decamethyltitanocene derivatives, the diamido complex is not an effective catalyst precursor for the heterohydrodecoupling of Te=PBu3 and HSnBu3.Key words: diamido titanium complexes, selenides, tellurides.

AbstractThree benzoindolizine derivatives, 1, 2, and 3, were obtained via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The reaction of 1-(2′-benzimidazolylmethyl)isoquinolinium ylides with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate gave a mixture of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1,2-dicarboxylate (1) and 1,10b-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1,2-dicarboxylate (2) derivatives containing a benzimidazole moiety. The reaction of this isoquinolinium N-ylide with dimethyl maleate gave an unexpected 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1,2-dicarboxylate (3). The structures of all reported compounds have been examined by X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy.
