Reaction of Me3SiPC(NMe2)2 (1) with pivaloyl chloride and benzoyl chloride afforded
the acylated phosphaalkenes RC(O)PC(NMe2)2
2a (R = tBu) and 2b (R = Ph). Carbon
disulfide and phenyl isothiocyanate were inserted into the P−Si bond of 1 to give the
functionalized phosphaalkenes R(X)C−PC(NMe2)2
2c [R(X)C = Me3Si−S(S)C] and 2d
[R(X)C = Ph(Me3Si)N(S)C]. Heating 2c and 2d with (CO)5MBr (M = Mn, Re) in toluene at
50−80 °C led to complexes [X =
3c (M = Mn, X = S), 3d (M =
Mn, X = NPh), 4c (M = Re, X = S), and 4d (M = Re, X = NPh). The X-ray structure analysis
of 2c showed extensive π-delocalization of electron density from phosphorus into the CS
group. The structure determination of 4d revealed the molecule as a tricyclic system with
an anti orientation of the peripheric four-membered rings. The organophosphorus fragment
serves as η2(P,S)-μ(P) bridging ligand, a coordination mode without precedence in phosphaalkene chemistry.
Reaction of
(η5-C5Me5)(CO)2FeP(SiMe3)2
(4a) with carbon disulfide afforded the
unstable
metallophosphaalkene
(η5-C5Me5)(CO)2Fe−PC[SSiMe3]2
(5a), which decomposed to the
doubly metalated 1,3,4-thiadiphosphole 8a by extrusion of
bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfide. The
transient metallophosphaalkene 5a was intercepted as the
isolable [(CO)5Cr]-adduct 6a by
treatment with
[(Z)-cyclooctene]Cr(CO)5.
Similarly, the metallodisilylarsanes
(η5-C5Me5)(CO)2M−As(SiMe3)2 (M = Fe,
Ru) (11a,b) were converted to stable metalloarsaalkenes
12a,b
by exposure to CS2. Pentacarbonylchromium complexes
13a,b were accessible by reaction
with [(Z)-cyclooctene]Cr(CO)5.
The X-ray structure analysis of 13a revealed the
molecule
as the first η1-arsaalkene complex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
