摘要:
Cp*2ZrH2 (CP* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and Hg(C6F5)(2) react in pentane to form Cp*Zr-2(C6F5)H in high yield at room temperature. Cp*Zr-2(C6F5)H reacts intramolecularly at 120 degreesC under an atmosphere of H-2 to give Cp*Zr-2(o-C6F4H)F quantitatively by beta-fluoride elimination and subsequent insertion of tetrafluorobenzyne into the Zr-H bond. Under vacuum, CP*Zr-2(C6F5)H decomposes into a mixture of CP*Zr-2(o-C6F4H)F and the ring methyl C-H activated product, Cp*(Fv)Zr(C6F5) (Fv = tetramethylfulvene). Upon further heating, Cp*(Fv)Zr(C6F5) reacts to form the novel complex Cp*(C5Me4CH2(C6F4))ZrF, formed by beta-fluoride elimination and subsequent insertion of tetrafluorobenzyne into the Zr-CH2 bond.
