Alkylyttrium Complexes Supported by N,N‘-Dicyclohexyl-N‘ ‘-bis(trimethylsilyl)guanidinate Ligands
摘要:
The reaction of anhydrous YCl3 with an equimolar amount of lithium N,N'-dicyclohexyl-N"-bis(trimethylsilyl) guanidinate, Li[(Me3Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)], in THF afforded the monoguanidinate dichloro complex [{(Me3Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)}Y{(mu-Cl)(2)Li(THF)(2)}(mu-Cl)](2) (1). X-ray diffraction study showed that complex 1 has a bimetallic tetranuclear dimeric core with six mu(2)-bridging chloro ligands. Treatment of complex 1 with 4 molar equiv of LiCH2SiMe3 in hexane at 0 degrees C yielded the monomeric salt-free dialkyl complex {(Me3Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)}Y(CH2SiMe3)(2)(THF)(2) (2). The monoguanidinate tetramethyl ate-complex {(Me3Si) 2NC(NCy)(2)}Y[(mu-Me)(2)Li(TMEDA)](2) (3) was prepared by the reaction of complex 1 with 8 equiv of MeLi in the presence of excess TMEDA in toluene at 20 degrees C. The complexes 2 and 3 were structurally characterized. Alkylation of complex 1 with t-BuLi (1:4 molar ratio) in hexane resulted in the formation of the bis(guanidinate) alkyl yttrium complex {(Me3Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)}(2)Y(t-Bu) (4) in 42% yield. The guanidinate ligand redistribution was also observed in the reaction of the mono(guanidinate) dichloro yttrium complex {(Me3Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)}YCl2(Et2O) (5) with 2 molar equiv of LiCH2SiMe3 in hexane at 0 degrees C. This reaction afforded ate-complex {(Me3Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)}(2)Y(mu-CH2SiMe3)(2)Li (6) in 34% yield. The X-ray diffraction study has revealed a low formal coordination number of the lithium atom in 6 and its agostic interaction with two methyl carbon atoms of SiMe3 groups.
