When methylene chloride was used as a solvent, it was found that 28 are obtained in minor amounts, while the dominating product is the -coordinated chloro-carbyne species [(> -Tp )Mo(CO)2(=CCl)], whose yield increases abruptly with substitution in the pyrazol-l-yl fragments (3-methyl-, 3,4,5-trimethyl-, and 3,5-dimethyl-4-chloro derivatives) [90AX(C)59,95JCS(D) 1709]. The tungsten analog can be prepared similarly. The chlorocarbyne molybdenum complex follows also from the reaction of the parent anion with triphenylsulfonium cation but conducted in dichloromethane. The bromo- and iodocarbyne derivatives are made similarly. 

Add to the sample solution (containing 1 -25 g of Mo) 4 mL of 1 3 sulphuric acid, 3 drops of 85 per cent phosphoric(V) acid, and 0.5 g of citric acid. Dilute with water to 20 mL and add 2 mL of dithiol solution. Allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Extract the molybdenum complex with 13 mL and 10 mL portions respectively of re-distilled butyl acetate, and make up to 25.0 mL with this solvent in a graduated flask filter through glass wool if not entirely clear. Determine the absorbance of the solution at 670 nm. Prepare a calibration curve as detailed in Section 6.14. 

Allyl(dicarbonyl)molybdenum complexes 5 are also prepared from 4 via the methyl derivative... 

A single example of a rr-alkyl molybdenum complex was serendipitously prepared from a solution of the very light-sensitive dicarbonyl complex Mo(TPP)(CO)2. 

Although the tungsten initiators allow a variety of functionalized monomers to be studied, the analogous molybdenum complexes show an even greater tolerance of functional groups.525,526 The synthetic route developed for Mo(NAr)(CHR)(OR )2 allows for a wide variety of imido, alkoxide and alkylidene substituents to be prepared, and several (e.g., (210) and (211)) are commercially available527"530... 

Three preparations are described using the molybdenum complexes as representative examples. These can be modified as noted below to give the vanadium, chromium, and tungsten analogs.5... 

The carbanions take up 02 and these take up protons to give hydroperoxides in good yields. But because they are explosive in nature, they are not usually isolated and on reduction with sodium sulphite on trialkyl phosphite give alcohols. Alcohols can also be prepared via hydroperoxy molybdenum complexes and alkyl boranes. These reactions are summarized as follows ... 

Despite many applications of the iron-mediated carbazole synthesis, the access to 2-oxygenated tricyclic carbazole alkaloids using this method is limited due to the moderate yields for the oxidative cyclization [88,90]. In this respect, the molybdenum-mediated oxidative coupling of an arylamine and cyclohexene 2a represents a complementary method. The construction of the carbazole framework is achieved by consecutive molybdenum-mediated C-C and C-N bond formation. The cationic molybdenum complex, required for the electrophilic aromatic substitution, is easily prepared (Scheme 23). 

The retrosynthetic analysis of the 2-oxygenated carbazole alkaloids, 2-methoxy-3-methylcarbazole (37), O-methylmukonal (glycosinine) (38), 2-hydroxy-3-methylcar-bazole (52), and mukonal (53) based on the molybdenum-mediated approach led to the molybdenum-complexed cation (663) and 3-methoxy-4-methylaniline (655) as precursors (Scheme 5.51). The cationic molybdenum complex, dicarbonyl (ri -cyclohexadiene)(r -cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum hexafluorophosphate (663), required for the electrophilic substitution, was easily prepared quantitatively through known literature procedures (586,587).

Finally, highly dehydroxylated alumina were prepared by heating at 800 °C under vacuum and their interaction with [Mo(CO)e] followed by infrared [19]. At room temperature, the hexacarbonyl molybdenum complex is physisorbed and the interaction of one oxygen atom of a CO ligand with defective aluminium sites (tetrahedral and octahedral sites were identified)... 

As described in many reviews, Trost and his co-workers have carried out a pioneering work on the molybdenum-and tungsten-catalyzed allylic alkylation of allylic esters regioselectivity of the reaction is often complementary to the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation. The first asymmetric version was disclosed by Pfaltz and Lloyd-Jones in 1995 (Equation (63)). They used a catalytic amount of a novel tungsten complex, prepared from [W(CO)3(MeCN)3] or [W(cycloheptatriene) (COIs] and optically active (diphenylphosphino)phenyloxazolines 57, for the allylic alkylation of 3-aryl-2-propenyl phosphate with dimethyl sodiomalonate to isolate the corresponding branched alkylated compounds as a major isomer with an excellent enantioselectivity (96% ee). Unexpectedly, 3-aryl-2-propenyl carbonates are shown to be unreactive. It is worth noting that an isostructural molybdenum complex does not promote the catalytic alkylation under the same reaction conditions. In contrast, Lloyd-Jones and Lehmann reported the stereocontrolled... 

The chiral ligand (44) was prepared starting from the cyclic a-amino acid (S)-proline80). Recently, similar chiral catalysts and related molybdenum complexes involving optically active N-alkyl-P-aminoalcohols as stable chiral ligands and acetylacetone as a replaceable bidentate ligand, were designed for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols with alkyl hydroperoxides which could be catalyzed by such metal complexes 8,). 

Several complexes containing the W2S3 and W203 structural units have been prepared with thioxanthates and dithiocarbamates.178,179,180 Whether these have structures similar to the analogous molybdenum complexes is yet to be determined. 

Chiral molybdenum complexes of llil-pyran.1 Enantiomerically pure Mo-com-plexes, (S)- and (R)-l, of 2//-pyran have been prepared by known methods (13, 194-195) from d- and L-arabinose, respectively. They react with a wide range of nucleophiles at an allylic position with 96% ee. The resulting complex can react with a second nucleophile at the other allylic position to form c/y-disubstituted complexes, also with high enantioselectivity. The sequence can be used to obtain chiral cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans such as 2, a component of the scent gland of the civer cat.
