Synthesis, reactions and characterization of homo- and heterobimetallic Mo/W μ-alkyne complexes containing functionally substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands: The crystal structure of [ν5-MeO2CC5H4(CO)2MoW(CO)2C5H4Et-ν5](μ-C2H2)
摘要:
Through in situ reaction of acetylene with a mixture of three triply bonded complexes [eta(5)-R(1)C(5)H(4)(CO)(2)Mo](2), [eta(5)-R(2)C(5)H(4)(CO)(2)W](2), eta(5)-R(1)C(5)H(4)(CO)(2)MoW(CO)(2) C(5)H(4)R(2)-eta(5), prepared by refluxing a diglyme solution;of two dimers [eta(5)-R(1)C(5)H(4)(CO)(3) Mo](2) and [eta(5)-R(2)C(5)H(4)(CO)(3)W](2), five new mu-alkyne compounds [eta(5)-MeO(2)CC(5)H(4)(CO)(2) W](2)(mu-C2H2) (2a), [eta(5)-R(1)C(5)H(4)(CO)(2)MoW(CO)(2)C(5)H(4)R(2)-eta(5)](mu-C2H2) (3a, R(1) = H, R(2) = CO(2)Me; 3b, R(1) = C(O)Me, R(2) = H; 3c, R(1) = C(O)Me, R(2) = CO(2)Me; 3d, R(1) = CO(2)Me, R(2) = Et) were obtained. Further reaction of 1b with PhCHO in aqueous NaOH solution gave an aldol condensation product, [eta(5)-PhCH=CHC(O)C5H4(CO)(2)Mo](2) (mu-C2H2) (4), whereas 3b and 3c reacted with NaBH4 in MeOH to afford corresponding reductive products [eta(5)-MeCH(OH)C5H4(CO)(2)MoW(CO)(2)C(5)H(4)R-eta(5)] (5, R = H; 6, R = CO(2)Me). All these new complexes were fully characterized by combustion analysis, IR, H-1 NMR and mass spectroscopy, and by X-ray crystallography. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
