Attack of Carbonyl Compounds and Protons on Olefin Complexes

Attack of Carbonyl Compounds and Protons on Olefin Complexes [Pg.471]

As discussed in Chapter 3, olefins and dienes bind to electron-poor metal centers by a flow of electrons from the olefin iT-system to the metal and from the metal to the olefin t -system. Thus, olefins bound to electron-rich and strongly backbonding metal centers react with protons and electrophiles directly at the metal-carbon bond. However, olefins and dienes coordinated to electron-poor metal centers are less reactive toward electrophiles than those bound to electron-rich metal centers or even free olefins and dienes. However, electron-poor olefin and diene complexes do imdergo reactions with electrophiles at the coordinated ligand by an indirect pathway. This indirect pathway occurs by insertion of the olefin or diene into the bond formed by attack of the electrophile at the metal. [Pg.471]

The protonation of the Ti -cyclohexa-1,3-diene complex in Equation 12.64 illustrates a mechanism for the reaction of an electrophile at a coordinated diene via initial protonation of the metal and shows the stereochemistry that results from this pathway. The initially formed cationic hydride complex transfers the hydride onto the endo face of the cyclo-hexadiene ring by insertion of the C=C double bond into the Rh-H bond. The resulting Rh-C single bond is then part of the ligand in the product of the migration. Migra- [Pg.471]

Electrophilic attack on olefin ligands coordinated to electron-rich, strongly backbonding metals is illustrated by the reactions of (P group 4 olefin and alkyne complexes, as well as some electron-rich olefin complexes. Zirconocene- and and hafnocene-olefin complexes generated by reaction of zirconocene dichloride with two equivalents of alkyl lithium and isolated upon addition of a phosphine ligand react with carbonyl compounds and weak protic acids to form insertion products and alkyl complexes. Several examples of the reactions of these complexes with electrophiles are shown in Equations 12.65-12.66. Zirconocene-alkyne complexes prepared by thermolysis of vinyl alkyl complexes and titanium-alkyne complexes generated by the reduction of Ti(OPr ) also react with electrophiles, such as aldehydes and acid, to form products from insertion into the M-C bond and protonation of the M-C bond respectively. [Pg.471]

The reactions of benzyne complexes of zirconium also occur by electrophilic attack at an M-C bond. The isolated phosphine adduct of a zironocraie-benzyne complex reacts with ketones to imdergo insertion into one of the M-C bonds and with alcohol to make an aryl alkoxo complex, as shown in Equation 12.67. An electron-rich ruthenium-benzyne complex also reacts with electrophiles, such as borzaldehyde or carbon dioxide, to form products from insertion, as shown at the top of Equation 12.68. It also reacts with weak acids, such as aniline, to form products from formal protonation at the Ru-C bond, as shown at the bottom of Equation 12.68. - This reaction with aniline could occur by initial protonation at the metal, followed by C-H bond-forming reductive elimination, or by direct protonation of the M-C bond. Initial protonation of the metal center was proposed. [Pg.472]
