Selective and Stepwise Bromodemethylation of the Silyl Ligand in Iron(II) Silyl Complexes with Boron Tribromide
摘要:
Treatment Of CP*(CO)(2)FeSiMe2R (Cp* = C5Me5, R = Me and Ph) with 1 equiv of BBr3 at room temperature afforded CP*(CO)(2)FeSiBrMeR (R = Me and Ph) and MeBBr2 in high yields via bromodemethylation of the silyl ligand. CP*(CO)(2)FeSiBrMeR (R = Me and Ph) was further converted to CP*(CO)(2)FeSiBr2R (R = Me and Ph) quantitatively on addition of another equivalent of BBr3 and heating. Treatment Of CP*(CO)(2)FeSiMe2SiMe3 with 1 equiv of BBr3 at room temperature led to selective bromodemethylation at the (X-silicon atom to produce CP * (CO)(2)FeSiBrMeSiMe3, which was also converted to CP*(CO)(2)FeSiBr2SiMe3 on heating with another equivalent of BBr3 at 40degreesC in quantitative yield. The solid-state structure of CP*(CO)(2)FeSiBr2SiMe3 was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure determination.
