Synthesis of new mixed-alkyl rhenium(VII) organoimido complexes and a new facile route to Me3SiORe(NBut)3
摘要:
Alkylation of the rhenium(VII) dichloro compound of the formula MeRe(NR')2 Cl2PY (1) with MeMgCl, Et2Zn and Pr(i)MgCl yields the d0 trialkyl diimido complexes of the formula MeR2Re(NR')2 (2a-c) (R=Me, Et, Pr(i); R'=2,6-dimethylphenyl). Compound 2a is stable at 25-degrees-C, while compounds 2b and c decompose within a few hours. In a similar manner the alkylation of the new tert-butyl imido derivative MeRe (NBu(t))2Cl2 (4) [prepared from MeRe(NBu(t))3 (3) by hydrochlorination] yields the tri-alkyl complexes of the formula MeR2Re(NBu(t))2 (5a-c) (R = Me, Et and Pr(i)), of which the mixed-alkyl species are again thermolabile. Analysis of the gas-phase decomposition products revealed a rather complex decomposition pathway, in which the beta-hydrogen elimination is likely to play a minor role. Reaction of the polymeric oxo species of the formula Me3SnOReO3 (6) with the silylamine Bu(t)NHSiMe3 gives, surprisingly cleanly, the monomeric tris-imido compound of the formula Me3SiORe(NBu(t))3 (7) in 93% yield.

Reaction of ReMeO3 and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanate gives the imido complex [ReMe(NR)3] (R = 2,6-Me2C6H3). Complexes of the type [ReMe(NR)3] or [ReMe(NBu(t))3] undergo selective substitution of only one imido ligand to form bis(imido) derivatives. Thus, [ReMe(NBu(t))3] reacts with the weak acid catechol via protonation of one imido ligand to form a stable five-co-ordinate complex [ReMe(NBu(t))2(O2C6H4)]. In contrast, [ReMe(NR)3] forms a complex which can only be isolated in a pure state by the addition of pyridine (py) to give the six-co-ordinate [ReMe(NR)2(O2C6H4)(py)]. The complex [ReMe(NR)3] also reacts with thiophenol to give five-co-ordinate [ReMe(NR)2(SPh)2]. Reaction of [ReMe(NR)3] with HCl gives the ionic complex [NH3R][ReMeCl3(NR)2]. The crystal structure of this complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. The neutral dihalide complexes [ReMe(NR)2X2(py)] (X = Cl or Br) are prepared from [ReMe(NR)3] by the addition of 2 equivalents of pyridinium halide. Alkylation of the dichloro or dibromo derivative with neopentylmagnesium chloride gives the novel mixed-alkyl complex [ReMe(CH2Bu(t))2NR)2] as a mixture of two isomers, the structure of one of which was determined by X-ray crystallography.
