Abstract
Abstract The binuclear anions Na2[(OC)4MP(O)R2]2 (2a, a′, b, b′) [M = Mn: R = CH3 (a), C6H5 (a′); M = Re: R = CH3 (b), C6H5 (b′)] can be obtained quantitatively by reduction of the phosphinic acid complexes (OC)4BrMP(OH)R2 (1a, a′, b, b′) with sodium amalgam in ether. While the manganate anions 2 a, a′ can be transformed with excess sodium into the mononuclear salts Na2[(OC)4MnP(O)R2] (3a, a′), with two nucleophilic centres, the corresponding anions 2 b, b′ eliminate CO to give sparingly soluble species. From 3 a, a′ and dimethylsulphate the doubly methylated compounds CH3Mn(CO)4P(OCH3)R2 (4a, a′) are obtained. The rhenium derivatives CH3Re(CO)4P(OCH3)R2 (4b, b′) are formed only in very poor yields from 2 b, b′ and dimethylsulphate under reductive conditions. The IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectra are discussed.
