Tungsten(0) η2-Thiophene Complexes: Dearomatization of Thiophene and Its Facile Oxidation, Protonation, and Hydrogenation
摘要:
Complexes of the form TpW(NO)(PMe3)(n(2)-thiophene) have been synthesized in 31-40% yield by reduction of TpW(NO)(PMe3)(Br) in the presence of the thiophene ligand. The dynamics of protonation and the subsequent deprotonation for the corresponding 2H-thiophenium complexes have been investigated. Hydrogenation of the uncoordinated double bond was accomplished, and sulfur-carbon, sulfur-oxygen, and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions were explored with these complexes.

A series of complexes of the form TpM(NO)(L')(eta(2)-L) are prepared ( where L is a nitrile, ketone, or alkene, M = W or Mo, L') PMe3, MeIm, Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate). These complexes are subjected to various electrophiles (e.g., alkyl halides, Bronsted acids) to systematically probe the ability of the pi-basic transition metal to affect the reactivity of the dihapto-coordinated ligand. Alkylation is observed at the heteroatom of the ketone and the nitrile, but depending on the reagent, alkylation of the nitrosyl ligand or addition to the complexed d-bond also occurs. The structures of several nitrilium complexes and a rare example of an eta(2)-acetonium complex are also reported.
