The reaction of 2 equiv of Me3SnF with
[(η5-C5H4Me)TiCl(NPh)]2
in the presence of at least 2 equiv of pyridine
affords
[(η5-C5H4Me)TiF(NPh)]2
(1) in high yield.
(η5-C5H4SiMe3)TiCl(N-t-Bu)·py
reacts quantitatively with
an equimolar amount of Me3SnF to yield
[(η5-C5H4SiMe3)TiF(N-t-Bu)]2
(2). The fluorides
[η5-Cp‘TiF(NSnMe3)]2
(Cp‘ = C5Me4Et (3),
C5H4Me (4)) are obtained in
high yield by reaction of N(SnMe3)3 with
(η5-C5Me4Et)TiF3
and
(η5-C5H4Me)TiF3,
respectively. Complex 3 has been characterized by X-ray
diffraction. (MeAlNMes)4 (Mes
= 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) reacts as a transamination reagent with 4
equiv of
(η5-C5H4Me)2TiF2
to provide [(η5-C5H4Me)TiF(NMes)]2
(5) in low yield.
