Flash Communication: (Ph 3 P) 2 N 2 ─Aza-Wittig Reagent for Metal Carbonyls
Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Cr(CO) 6, Mo(CO) 6, W(CO) 6, and Fe(CO) 5 undergo an aza-Wittig reaction with triphenylphosphinazine [(Ph 3 P) 2 N 2 ]. These reactions address exclusively one CO ligand, yielding (isocyanoimino)triphenylphosphorane metal complexes [(CO) x MCN 2 (PPh 3 )] ( 1: M = Cr, x = 5; 2: M = Mo, x = 5; 3: M = W, x = 5, 4: M = Fe, x = 4). We present selective CO ligand deoxygenation at a metal center by an aza-Wittig reagent in the broad context of metallaheterocumulene fragmentation for carbon atom transfer.
