Synthesis of new thiophenolato hydrido iron(II) complexes and their substitution reactions with alkynes
摘要:
The novel thiophenolato hydrido iron(II) complexes [cis-Fe(H)(SAr)(PMe3)(4)] (4-6) (Ar = p-BrC6H4 (4), p-MeOC6H4 (5) and o-MeC6H4 (6)) were prepared through the reaction of Fe(PMe3)(4) with thiophenols ArSH (1-3). Reaction of 6 with trimethylsilylacetylene and phenylacetylene afforded bisalkynyl iron(II) complexes [Fe(PMe3)(4)(C CSiMe3)(2)] (7) and [Fe(PMe3)(4)(C=CPh)(2)] (9) through elimination of dihydrogen and the formation of thiophenol. The reaction of 5 with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol gave [Fe(PMe3)(4)(C=CC-Me2OH)(2)] (10). The crystal structures of complexes 4, 7 and 10 were determined by X-ray diffraction. A mechanism for the formation of 7 is proposed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
