Synthesis of Organotantalum Alkyne Complexes [{η5:σ-Me2C(C5H4)(C2B10H10)}TaMe(η2-R1C≡CR2)] and Their Reactions with Unsaturated Molecules

Abstract: Hydrogenolysis of tantalum methyl complex [Ta(L)Me3] (1, L = [η5:σ-Me2C(C5H4)(C2B10H10)]) in the presence of terminal or internal alkynes R1CCR2 gave the corresponding π-alkyne complexes [TaL(η2-R1CCR2)Me] (2a–2g) in 71–93% yields. Their reactions with various kinds of unsaturated molecules were investigated. Complex 2b reacted with trimethylsilyl acetylene to give an η3-butadienyl complex 3. Complexes 2a–2c reacted with XylNC to give aza-η3-butadienyl complexes 5a–5c via the η2-iminoacyl η2-alkyne intermedi… Show more

“…During our study on organotantalum alkyne complexes bearing a multidentate bulky [Me 2 C(C 5 H 4 )(C 2 B 10 H 10 )] 2− ligand, we observed sequential insertion-C–C coupling reactions with unsaturated molecules on a Ta( v ) metal centre, facilely yielding a variety of d 0 -tantalum metallacycles. 12 Based on these results, we speculate that the steric bulkiness of the σ-carboranyl ligand can effectively protect the electrophilic metal centre during multi-step insertion reactions, facilitating the formation of large metallacycles. 13 To our delight, the multiple insertions of isocyanides into alkyl tantalum–alkyne complexes [η 5 :σ-Me 2 C(C 5 H 4 )(C 2 B 10 H 10 )]TaMe(η 2 -RC CH) delivered an unprecedented class of tantallapyridinazirine complexes, of which the tantallapyridinium ring manifests aromatic characters.…”
