Abstract
The compounds (CO) 5CrEPhH 2 (E P, II; E As, VIII) react with RP(CCH) 2 (R tBu, Ia; R CH 2Ph, Ib) and Me 2Sn(CCPh)2 ( V) via insertion into the EH bonds to give 1,4-dihetero-cyclohexa-2,5-diene complexes of the type [(CO) 5Cr](Ph) PCHCHXCHC H (X RP, III; X PhAs, IX) and [(CO) 5Cr](Ph)PC(Ph)CHSnMe 2CHC (Ph) ( VII) in high yields. The insertion of the dialkynes is stereospecific: trans addition of II to V yields first [(CO) 5Cr](Ph)(H)PC(Ph)CHSnMe 2C CPh ( VI) a compound in which the phosphorus group and the Me 2Sn(CCPh) unit are in cis position to each other. Ring closure by insertion of the second phenylethynyl group in VI into the PH bond affords the six membered cycle of [(CO) 5Cr](Ph) P C(Ph)CHSnMe 2CHC (Ph) ( VII). Another way to synthesize complexes of the type VII is given in the reaction of I with H 2Sn nBu 2 ( XIII). In the presence of KOH/18-Crown-6, the cycles of R PCHCHSn nBu 2CHC H (R tBu, XIVa; R CH 2Ph, XIVb) are formed, which then yields by treatment with (CO) 5Cr(Thf) ( XV), [(CO) 5Cr](R) PCHCHSn nBu 2CHC H (R tBu, XVIa; R CH 2Ph, XVIb). A compound, in which both hetero-atoms of the 1-phospha-4-arsacyclohexa-2,5-diene ( IXa) are bonded to a 16-electron complex fragment can be synthesized by the reaction of IXa with (CO) 5Mo(Thf) ( X). [(CO) 5Cr]( tBu) P CHCHAs(Ph)[Mo(CO) 5]CHC H ( XII) can be isolated in high yields. The identity of all new synthesized compounds III, VI, VII, IX, XII, XIV and XVI is confirmed by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, MS, 1H, 13C and 31P NMR) data as well as by an X-ray diffraction study of IXa.
