Synthesis of borylindenides. Complexes with iron and rhenium moieties
Abstract Borylation of lithium indenide with BBrMe 2 gives the allylic 1-indenyl derivative (1-Ind)BMe 2 ( 1c ) together with the bis-allylic connected species (1-Ind) 2 BMe ( 3 ) and with BCl i Pr 2 , the allylic 1-indenyl (1-Ind)B i Pr 2 ( 1d ); the latter, with Et 3 N or Py added, rearranges to the vinylic 3-indenyl isomer (3-Ind)B i Pr 2 ( 2d ). The disubstituted indene C 9 H 6 Ind(SiMe 3 )B(O 2 C 2 Me 4 ) ( 5 ) was prepared from Li[C 9 H 6 B(O 2 C 2 Me 4 )] ( 4b ) and Me 3 SiCl. Both (1-Ind)BMe 2 and (1-Ind)B i Pr 2 readily undergo metalation when treated with LiTMP or LiInd to give pure 1-borylindenides Li(C 9 H 6 BMe 2 ) ( 4c ) and Li(C 9 H 6 B i Pr 2 ) ( 4d ). A barrier to internal …
Synthesis of borylindenides; structure of [Li(N,N′,N″-Me3-1,3,5-C3H6N3)][1-C9H6{B(NMe2)2}]
Abstract Borylation of lithium indenide (LiInd) affords indenylboranes. With BCl(NMe2)2 the primary allylic 1-indenyl derivative IndB(NMe2)2 (1) readily rearranges to the more stable vinylic bis(dimethylamino)(3-indenyl)borane 1′. With BCl(OCMe2)2 the (1-indenyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane IndB(OCMe2)2 (2) is obtained. Both indenylboranes 1′ and 2 readily undergo metalation when treated with lithium amides such as LiTMP or LDA to give 1-borylindenides Li[C9H6B(NMe2)2] [Li(3)] and Li[C9H6B(OCMe2)2] [Li(5)] in high yields. In the systems 1′/LiInd and 2/LiInd metalation equilibria are established with equlibrium constants K≈1 (1'/LiInd) and K≈1.4 (2/LiInd). The structure of the solvate [Li(TMHT)][1-C…
