Formation of Ruthenaindenes by Cyclometalation of Ruthenium(II) Diarylbutenyne Complexes
摘要:
The reaction of diarylbutenynylruthenium complexes [Ru(eta(3)-C CC(6)H(4)R)=C(R')C(6)H(4)R)-(PMe(3))(4)](+) (C(6)H(4)R = C(6)H(4)R = C(6)H(4)-4-'Bu, Ph, C(6)H(4)-4-Me; R' = H, Me) with dimethylinagnesium yields the cyclometalated ruthenaidene complexes [Ru(C(C CC(6)H(4)R)=C(R')'C(6)H(3)R)(PMe(3))(4)] with ruthenium incorporated into the five-membered ring of an indene. The reaction involves the initial formation of methylruthenium complexes, which then rearrange with the elimination of methane to yield the product, The complexes [Ru(C(C CC(6)H(4)R)=C(R')C(6)H(3)R)(PMe(3))(4)] (C(6)H(4)R = C(6)H(4)-4-'Bu, R' = H; C(6)H(4)R = Ph, R' = Me) were crystallographically characterized.
Reaction of ruthenium bis-acetylide complexes with 2,6-lutidinium tetrafluoroborate gave butenynyl complexes cis-[Ru(eta(3)-RC CC=C(H)R)(PMe(3))(4)]BF(4) in moderate to good yields. The structure of cis[Ru(eta(3)-tBuC CC=C(H)tBu)(PMe(3))(4)]BF(4) was determined crystallographically. Attempts to prepare cis[Ru(eta(3)-MeC CC=C(H)Me)(PMe(3))(4)]BF(4) resulted in the formation of two isomers, which differ in the stereochemistry about the double bond. The reaction of two bis-acetylide complexes with methyl triflate afforded butenynyl-type complexes cis- [Ru(eta(3)-RC CC=C(Me)R)(PMe(3))(4)](+) (R = Me, Ph). The mixed acetylide-vinylidene complex trans-[Ru(C CSiMe(3))(C=CH(2))(PMe(3))(4)]PF(6) was prepared by the reaction of trans-Ru(C CSiMe(3))(2)(PMe(3))(4) with ammonium hexafluorophosphate. In addition, the crystal structure of trans-[Ru(C CH)(C=CH(2))(PMe(3))(4)]BF(4) is reported.
