摘要:
Treatment of molybdenum or tungsten hexacarbonyls with the diphosphine CH2 = C(CH2PPh2)2 gives complexes [M{(Ph2PCH2)2C = CH2}(CO)4] (M = Mo, 3a; or W, 3b). Either of these complexes with sodium ethoxide in boiling ethanol exhibits prototropic rearrangement to give [M{Ph2PCH = CMeCH2PPh2}(CO)4] (M = Mo, 4a; or W, 4b). Treatment of either complexes 3 or 4 with strong bases such as methyllithium, lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide gave bright orange solutions of the symmetrical 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)-2-methylallylmetal tetracarbonyl anions [M{Ph2PCHC(Me)CHPPh2}(CO)4]- 5. The molybdenum complex 5a, when treated with D2O, gave [Mo(Ph2PCH = CMeCHDPPh2)(CO)4] 6, which was shown to be a monodeuterio-complex by H-2, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Both the P-31-{H-1} and the C-13-{H-1} NMR spectra of this compound showed secondary isotope effects and the C-13-{H-1} spectrum showed that there was no plane of symmetry, whereas with the corresponding perhydro complex 4a, there is such a plane (going through the Mo and the two P). The carbanions 5 react with electrophiles such as Mel, SiMe3Cl, Etl, allyl bromide, PhCH2Br or PPh2Cl to give substitution products [M(Ph2PCH = CMeCHR'PPh2)(CO)4] (R' = Me, 7; SiMe3, 8; Et, 9; CH2 = CHCH2, 10; CH2Ph, 11, or PPh2, 13); these complexes were fully characterised. Treatment of 7a (M = Mo) with LiMe and then an equivalent amount of methanol, followed by more LiMe and methanol, gave the isomerised product [Mo(Ph2PCMe = CMeCH2PPh2)(CO)4] 12. When a solution of complex 13a M = M) was heated in toluene the tricarbonyl [Mo{(Ph2P)2CHCMe = CHPPh2}(CO)3] 14a, in which all three phosphoruses are co-ordinated, was formed; similarly the corresponding tungsten complex 13b, when heated in decane, gave [W{(Ph2P)2CHCMe = CHPPh2}(CO)3] 14b. Proton, H-2, C-13 and P-31 NMR data, infrared [nu(C = O)] and some mass spectral data are given and discussed.
