摘要:
The reaction of the tetramethylcyclopentadiene-silyl substituted derivative C5Me4(SiMe3)(SiMe2Cl) with MCl4 afforded the trichloro mono-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl complexes M(eta(5)-C5Me4SiMe2Cl)Cl-3 [M = Ti (1), Zr (2)] with selective elimination of SiMe3Cl. Compound 1 reacts with deoxygenated water in methylene chloride, with the evolution of HCl, to give the dinuclear titanium compound {Ti[mu-(eta(5)-C5Me4SiMe2O-kappaO)]Cl-2}(2) (3), which was converted into the mu-oxo complex {Ti[mu-(eta(5)-C5MC4SiMe2O-kappaO)]Cl}(2)(mu-O) (4) by a further hydrolysis reaction which occurred when a solution of 3 in toluene was refluxed for a long period of time in the air. Depending on the size of the alkyl ligand, reactions of the mononuclear compound 1 with an appropriate alkylating reagent rendered the peralkylated Ti(eta(5)-C5Me4SiMe2R)R-3 [R = Me (5), CH2Ph (6)] or partially alkylated {Ti[(eta(5)-C5Me4SiMe2(CH2SiMe3)]Cl(CH2SiMe3)(2)} (7) compounds by a salt metathesis route. Attempts to synthesise a partially methylated or benzylated complex were unsuccessful. Treatment of the dinuclear compound 3 with four equivalents of MgClMe yielded the tetramethyl derivative {Ti[mu-(eta(5)-C5Me4SiMe2O-KO)]Me-2}(2) (8), while the same reaction carried out with MgCl(CH2Ph) or Mg(CH2Ph)(2).2THF gave the chloro-benzyl derivative {Ti[mu-(eta(5)-C5Me4SiMe2O-kappaO)]Cl(CH2Ph)}(2) (9) as an equimolar mixture of diastereomers, regardless of the molar ratio of the alkylating reagent used. All of the new compounds were characterised by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
