Formation of metallacycles from terminal diynes with geminal methyl groups α to the triple bonds. Synthesis and crystal structure of Co2(CO)5[(HCCCMe2)2NMe], an intermediate in cobalt-catalyzed organic syntheses
摘要:
The title complex has been synthesized by refluxing a toluene solution of Co2(CO)8 and the diyne [(HC = CCMe2)2NMe]. It has been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and its structure determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The complex is one of the few examples of a crystallographically characterized cobaltacyclopentadiene derivative. It can be considered to be an intermediate in the cyclization reaction of acetylenic derivatives catalyzed by cobalt carbonyls, and a model for the intermediates in heterocycle formation from diynes and nitriles catalyzed by Co0 complexes.
