Direct Conversion of a Si–C(aryl) Bond to Si–Heteroatom Bonds in the Reactions of η3-α-Silabenzyl Molybdenum and Tungsten Complexes with 2-Substituted Pyridines
摘要:
eta(3)-alpha-Silabenzyl complexes Cp*M(CO)(2)-{eta(3)(Si,C,C)-Si(p-Tol)(3)} (M = Mo (1-Mo), W (1-W)) reacted with 2-substituted pyridines NC5H4(2-EHn) (E = O, S (n = 1); N (n = 2)) under mild conditions to give M-Si-E-C-N (E = O, N), W-Si-N-C-S, and M-E-C-N (E = S, N) metallacycles depending on the metal M or heteroatom E. These three kinds of metallacycles were characterized by spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The first two silametallacycles take on some silylene complex character and are considered to form via (aryl)silylene complex intermediates generated by cleavage of the Si-C(aryl) bond in the eta(3)-alpha-silabenzyl ligand of 1-Mo and 1-W.

(η<sup>3</sup>-α-Silabenzyl)tungsten Complexes: An Isolable Intermediate for Interconversion between a Silylene Complex and a Silyl Complex through 1,2-Aryl Migration
eta(3)-alpha-Silabenzyl complexes Cp*W - (CO)(2)eta(3)(Si,C,C)-Si(p-Tol)(2)R} (1a, R = Me; 1b, R = p-Tol; Cp* = eta(5)-C5Me5, p-Tol = p-tolyl), the first silicon analogues of eta(3)-benzyl complexes, were synthesized by abstraction of DMAP (4-(dimethylamino)pyridine) with BPh3 either from (aryl)(DMAP.silylene)tungsten complexes 2a,b at room temperature or from (arylsilyl)(DMAP)tungsten complexes 3a,b under irradiation. Complex I was demonstrated to be a key intermediate for the interconversion between 2 and 3 and to serve as a synthetic equivalent for both base-free silylene complexes and coordinatively unsaturated silyl complexes.
