摘要:
Reactions of (butadiene)iron tricarbonyl or (1-phenylbutadiene)iron tricarbonyl with Et3BH-in tetrahydrofuran monitored by IR spectroscopy showed efficient conversion to the corresponding (allyl)iron tricarbonyl anions (CH3CH---CH---CH2)Fe(CO)3- and (CH3CH---CH-CHC6H5)Fe(CO)3-. Treatment of these solutions with (CH3)3SnCl resulted in formation of (anti-methallyl)Fe(CO)3-SnMe3, anti-12 and (anti-1-methyl-syn-3-phenylallyl)Fe(CO)3-SnMe3, anti,syn-13. These anti isomers thermally isomerize to their syn isomers by clean first-order kinetics (anti-12 to syn-12, k = 2.6 x 10(-5) s-1, 55-degrees-C; anti,syn-13 to syn,syn-13, k = 5.8 x 10(-6) s-1, 25-degrees-C). The sterochemistry of syn,syn-13 was confirmed by X-ray analysis (monoclinic, P2(1/n), a = 14.830(3) angstrom, b = 7.5651(18) angstrom, c = 15.7202(18) angstrom, beta = 102.001(13)-degrees, Z = 4). Treatment of the (allyl)iron tin complexes anti-12, syn-12, anti,syn-13, and syn,syn-13 with KH results in clean formation of the corresponding (allyl)iron tricarbonyl anions which can be isolated in good yields as their potassium salts. The configuration of the allyl unit is maintained in the reduction reaction. Low temperature H-1, H-2, and C-13 NMR experiments reveal that the anionic formyl complex (C4H6)(CO)2FeCHO- is an intermediate in the formation of (anti-methallyl)Fe(CO)3- from Et3BH- and (butadiene)iron tricarbonyl. Hydride migration from formyl to C1 of the butadiene ligand occurs at -50-degrees-C, k = 8.3 x 10(-5) s-1, DELTAG(double dagger) = 17 kcal/mol.
