Addition of diphenylphosphine to molybdenum alkynyl complexes
摘要:
The reaction Of [CpMo(CO)(3)(C drop CR)] (Cp = eta -C5H5) with PPh2H in the presence of Me3NO gives the expected substituted complex [CpMo(CO)(2)(PPh2H)(C drop CPh)] as the major product when R = Ph. The phosphine ligand in this compound can be subjected to a deprotonation-alkylation sequence to afford [CpMo(CO)(2)(PPh2Me)(C drop CPh)]. In contrast, when R = CO2Me, treatment of [CpMo(CO)(3)(C drop CR)] with PPh2H and Me3NO leads directly to [CpMo(CO)(2)(PPh2C=CHCO2Me)] by addition of the P-H bond across the alkynyl triple bond; this compound has been structurally characterised and contains a three-membered (MoPC) ring with an exocyclic =CHCO2Me group.
