Synthesis and Studies on the Reactivities of Dicyclopentadienylytterbium Derivatives Containing Carbazolate and Pyrazolate Ligands
摘要:
Two ytterbocene derivatives containing aromatic nitrogen ligands, (C5H5)(2)YbCbz(THF) (1) and (C5H5)(2)YbPzMe(2)(THF) (4), were synthesized, and their reactivities toward N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide, phenyl isothiocyanate, and phenyl isocyanate were studied. Abstraction of cyclopentadienyl from (C5H5)(3)Yb with 1 equiv of carbazole (HCbz) in THF at room temperature gives 1. Reaction of 1 with N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide ((PrN)-Pr-i=C=(NPr)-Pr-i) results in monoinsertion of (PrN)-Pr-i=C=(NPr)-Pr-i into the Yb-N(Carbazolate) bond, yielding the ytterbocene guanidinate (C5H5)(2)Yb[(PrN)-Pr-i - C(Cbz) - (NPr)-Pr-i] (2), while treatment of 1 with 1 equiv of phenyl isothiocyanate (PhNCS) gives the unexpected monocyclopentadienylytterbium complex (C5H5)Yb[S - C(Cbz) - NPh](2)(THF) (3) and (C5H5)(3)Yb(THF), which may be rationalized by the ligand rearrangement of the monoinsertion product (C5H5)(2)Yb[S - C(Cbz) - NPh]. (C5H5)(3)Yb reacts with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (HPzMe(2)) in a 1:1 ratio at ambient temperature to form complex 4. Reaction of 4 with PhNCO gives the insertion product (C5H5)(2)Yb[OC(=NPh)-PzMe(2)](THF) (5). In contrast to 1, however, complex 4 does not react with (PrNCNPr)-Pr-i-Pr-i under the same conditions. All these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic properties. The structures of complexes 2-5 were also determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses. These reactions present the first example of 1,3-heterocumulene insertions into the Ln-N(aromatic ring) bond and provide a new strategy for introducing a substituent at the nitrogen atom of organic heterocycle compounds.
