8-Sila-4-stanna-s-tetrahydroindacenes as synthons for Me2Si-bridged zirconocenes: formation from biscyclopentadienyl silanes by reaction with aminostannanes
Alkyl-substituted bis(cyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilanes react with Me2Sn(NEt2)2 and with (Me2N)4Sn to yield correspondingly substituted, meso-configurated RS-8-sila-4-stanna-s-tetrahydroindacene and axially symmetric RR,SS-4-spiro-bis(8-sila-4-stanna-s-tetrahydroindacene) compounds, respectively, which are stereoselectively converted by reaction with ZrCl4 to the corresponding meso- and rac-configurated

Me(2)Si-bridged ansa-zirconocenes of interest for a-olefin polymerization catalysis are prepared in good yield by amine elimination reactions. The reaction of Me(2)Si(1-C5H4-3-(t)Bu)(2) (3) and Zr(NMe(2))(4) affords Me(2)Si(1-C5H3-3-(t)Bu)(2)Zr(NMe(2))(2) (4) in 95% NMR yield (rac/meso = 1/2) and pure meso-4 in 38% isolated yield. The reaction of Me(2)Si(1-C5H3-2-Me-4-(t)Bu)(2) (6) with Zr(NMe(2))(4) affords Me(2)Si(1-C5H2-2-Me-4-(t)Bu)(2)Zr(NMe(2))(2) (7) in 90% NMR yield (rac/meso = 2.5/1) and pure rac-7 in 52% isolated yield. The 1/2 rac-4/meso-4 and 2.5/1 rac-7/meso-7 ratios are the thermodynamic ratios, and the rac/meso isomerizations are catalyzed by NMe(2)H via reversible Zr-Cp bond aminolysis. The thermodynamic bias for meso-4 is ascribed to the ease of distortion of the metallocene framework of this diastereomer by a lateral deformation which reduces steric crowding between the amide ligands and the Cp substituents. The reaction of 6 and Zr(NEt(2))(4) proceeds only in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at 180 degrees C, affording Me(2)Si(1-C5H2-2-Me-4-(t)Bu)(2)ZrCl2 (rac-1) in 35% NMR yield (rac/meso = 3/1). The reaction of 6 and the piperidide complex Zr(NC5H10)(4) (m-xylene, 140 degrees C, 24 h) affords rac-Me(2)Si(1-C5H2-2-Me-4-(t)Bu)(2)Zr(NC5H10)(2) (rac-9) in 35% NMR yield (no meso detected) and pure rac-9 in 7% isolated yield. The reaction of 6 and the pyrrolidide complex Zr(NC4H8)(4) (m-xylene, 90 degrees C, 4h) affords Me(2)Si(1-C5H2-2-Me-4-(t)Bu)(2)Zr(NC4H8)(2) (10) in 80% NMR yield (rac/meso = 3/1) and pure rac-10 in 39% isolated yield. The molecular structure of rac-10 was determined by X-ray crystallography and exhibits severe crowding between the amide ligands and the Cp substituents. Treatment of rac-7 or rac-10 with Me(3)SiCl results in clean conversion to rac-1 without isomerization.

Binuclear iron complexes (E)[(eta(5)-t-BuC5H3)Fe(CO)](2)(mu-CO)(2) [E = Me2Si (1), Me2SiOSiMe2(3)] were prepared by reaction of Fe(CO)(5) with the corresponding cyclopentadienyl ligands in boiling xylene. Like the analogue (Me2SiSiMe2)[(eta(5)-t-BuC5H3)Fe(CO)](2)(mu-CO)(2) (2) reported previously, they are also found to exist as a mixture of cis and trans isomers that have been separated by preparative TLC. To examine the effect of larger substituents on the formation of isomers, the analogue (Me2Si)[eta(5)C(5)H(3)(t-heptyl)}Fe(CO)](2)(mu-CO)(2) (4) was also synthesized by the same approach. The molecular structures of cis- and trans-(Me2Si)[(eta(5)-t-BuC5H3)Fe(CO)](2)(mu-CO)(2) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
Synthesis of an ansa-Zirconocene via a NovelS4-Symmetric Spirobis(silastannaindacene) Compound
作者:Mario Hüttenhofer、Frank Schaper、Hans H. Brintzinger
A stereoselective reaction of Sn(NMe2 )4 with the silyl-bridged bis(cyclopentadienyl) derivative 1 generates the novel spiro compound 2, in which two C2 -symmetric six-membered rings of opposite configuration are joined at a tin center: One ring is R,R-, and the other S,S-configured. Subsequent reaction with two equivalents of ZrCl4 affords, by stereoselective Sn/Zr exchange, exclusively the C2 -symmetric isomer of the ansa-zirconocene rac-3.

to pure rac. The isomerization requires Cp−enantioface exchange and is catalyzed by chloride ion, which reversibly displaces Cp- from Me2Si(3-R-C5H3)2ZrMe3SiN(CH2)3NSiMe3}. Kinetic analyses for selected complexes showed first-order dependence of the isomerization rate on both metallocene and chloride concentrations. Reversible Cp-/Cl- exchange is also facile for ansa-bis-Cp}ZrCl2 and nonbridged Cp2ZrCl2
