The P-Ph cleavage of phenyldibenzophosphole (1) with lithium in THF gives lithium dibenzophospholide (2). Reaction of 2 with ethyleneglycol ditosylate produces the known chelate ligand 1,2-bis(dibenzophospholyl)ethane (3) in good yield. Similarly, 2 and (2R,3R)-butanediol ditosylate give the new chiral chelate ligand (2S,3S)-bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane (4). Ligand exchange of [CpRu(PPh3)(2)Cl] with 3 or 4 yields the halfsandwich complexes [CpRu(C12H8PC2H4PC12H8)Cl] (5) and [CpRu((S,S)-C12H8PCHMeCHMePC12H8)Cl] (6). Complex 6 was characterized crystallographically (monoclinic, space group P2(1) (no. 4), a = 820.6(4), b = 1501.0(3), c = 1172.8(6) pm, beta = 108.87(2)degrees, V = 1.367(1) x 10(9) pm(3), Z = 2). The most conspicuous feature of the structure of 6 is the perfect coplanarity of the two dibenzophosphole moieties imposed by their steric interaction with the Cp ligand. Complex 6 and the thiophene complex [CpRu((S,S)-C12H8PCHMeCHMePC12H8)(SC4H4)]BF4 (7) derived therefrom are remarkably unreactive with regard to ligand substitutions. A possible explanation is the lack of intramolecular M ... H-C stabilization en route to the transition state of ligand substitution. The enantiomeric purity of 6 and 7 could nevertheless be demonstrated by conversion to diastereomerically pure [CpRu((S,S)-C12H8PCHMeCHMePC12H8)((S)-CNCHMePh)]BF4 (8). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
