摘要:
The reaction of a mixture of isomers of 4,4,8,8-tetramethyl-tetrahydro-s-indacene (1) with Ru(3)-(CO)(12) afforded cis-{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(CO)(4), (2) in 68% yield. Reaction of 2 with Br(2) gave cis-{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(CO)(4)Br(2) (3) in 88% yield. Reaction of 3 with AgOTf yields cis-[{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(CO)(4)(mu-Br)][OTf] (4), while reaction of 3 with Me(3)NO and AgOTf yields cis-[{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(CO)(2)(MeCN)(2)(mu-Br)][OTf] (5). Reaction of 3 under more forcing conditions with AgOTf in MeCN gave cis-[{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(CO)(2)(MeCN)(4)][OTf](2) (6), while a MeCN/C(6)H(6) solvent combination afforded cis-[{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(eta(6)-C(6)H(6))(2)][OTf](2) (7) in a 64% yield. Removal of the benzene ligands in 7 can be accomplished by first adding H(-) to the coordinated benzene ligands to afford cis-{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(eta(5)-C(6)H(7))(2) (10). Subsequent protonation of 10 in MeCN afforded [cis-{(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(CMe(2))(2)}Ru(2)(MeCN)(6)][OTf](2) (8) in 88% yield. Structural data for 4, 5, 7, and 10 are reported.
