Influence of the Departing Group on the Electrophilic Cleavage of Silicon−Carbon Bonds Adjacent to Zirconocene Dichloride. Preparation of Electrophile-Functionalized Zirconocene Dibromides
摘要:
(EtMe2SiC5H4)CpZrCl2 (5) reacts with BBr3 in 1,2-dichloroethane (reflux, 24 h) to afford a 4:1 mixture of (EtMeBrSiC5H4)CpZrBr2 (10) and (BrMe2SiC5H4)CpZrBr2 (11) in a nearly quantitative conversion. Similarly, ((BuMe2SiC5H4)-Bu-t)CpZrCl2 (6) reacts with BBr3 to afford a 15:1 mixture of ((BuMeBrSiC5H4)-Bu-t)CpZrBr2 (13) and 11. The product 11 is obtained independently by treating (Me3SiC5H4)CpZrCl2 (12) with BBr3. In contrast, Si-Ph bonds are cleaved with complete selectivity in the presence of Si-Me groups. (PhMe2SiC5H4)(2)-ZrCl2 (8) reacts with excess BCl3 in dichloromethane (reflux, 15 h) to afford (ClMe2SiC5H4)(2)-ZrCl2 (14) in 72% yield. (Ph2MeSiC5H4)(2)ZrCl2 (9) reacts with excess BBr3 in 1,2-dichloroethane (reflux, 15 h) to afford (Br2MeSiC5H4)(2)ZrBr2 (15) in 79% yield. Complexes 9 and 15 were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystalline 9 adopts a pseudo-C-2 conformation in which the face of the Ph group of one ligand shows a weak interaction with a C-H bond of the other ligand. Crystalline 15 also adopts a pseudo-C-2 conformation, in which the SiBr2 groups are directed away from the ZrBr2 group.

The reaction of ω-phenyl-1-bromoalkanes with cyclopentadienyl sodium, indenyl lithium or fluorenyl lithium forms ω-phenylalkyl-substituted ligand precursors in high yields. The corresponding anions react with zirconium tetrachloride to give ω-phenylalkyl-substituted zirconocene dichloride complexes. After activation with methylaluminoxane, these complexes are highly active catalysts for homogeneous

metallacyclic zirconocenecomplexes has been synthesized by the reaction of ω-phenyl-substituted zirconocene dichloride complexes with two equivalents of n-butyllithium via CH bond-activation reactions on the phenyl ring. After activation with methyl aluminoxane, these metallacycles are up to five times more active ethylene polymerization catalysts than the original metallocene dichloride complexes similarly
