β-Diketones derived from cyclopentadienyl rhenium tricarbonyl
摘要:
The acetyl complex (eta(5)-C5H4COCH3)Re(CO)(3) reacts with KO'Bu and an excess of appropriate ester to provide cyrhetrenyl-beta-diketones complexes (eta(5) -C5H4COCH2COR)Re(CO)(3) (R = CF3, 1a; CH3, 1b; Ph, 1c). These new 1,3-diketones exist predominantly as enol tautomer, although a enol/keto mixture of approx. 10:1 is present in complexes 1b-c, in chloroform-d solution. The complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR and mass spectrometry. X-ray crystallography of complex 1b shows that only the enol form occurs in the solid state. The O-C-C-C-O fragment of the molecule is planar with asymmetric enolisation in the direction furthest from the cyrhetrenyl group. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
