Abstract
Imide transfer properties of ((THF)MgNPh)(6) (1) and the synthesis of the related species {(THF)MgN(1-naphthyl)}(6).2.25THF (2), via the reaction of dibutylmagnesium with H(2)N(1-naphthyl), in a THF/heptane mixture are described. Treatment of 1 with Ph(2)CO, 4-Me(2)NC(6)H(4)NO, t-BuNBr(2) (3), PCl(3), or MesPCl(2) (Mes = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)-) leads to the isolation of Ph(2)CNPh (4), 4-Me(2)NC(6)H(4)NNPh (5), t-BuNNPh (6), (PhNPCl)(2) (7), or (MesPNPh)(2) (8) in moderate yield. Reaction between 1 and GeCl(2).dioxane, SnCl(2), or PbCl(2) affords the M(4)N(4) (M = Ge, Sn, Pb) cubane imide derivative (GeNPh)(4) (9), [(SnNPh)(4).{MgCl(2)(THF)(4)}](infinity) (10), (SnNPh)(4).0.5PhMe (11), or (PbNPh)(4).0.5PhMe (12). Interaction of 1 with Ph(3)PO, (Me(2)N)(3)PO, or Ph(2)SO furnishes the complex (Ph(3)POMgNPh)(6) (13), {(Me(2)N)(3)POMgNPh}(6).2PhMe (14), or (Ph(2)SOMgNPh)(6) (15). The addition of 3 equiv of MgBr(2) to 1 gives 1.5 equiv of ((THF)Mg)(6)(NPh)(4)Br(4) (16) in quantitative yield, whereas treatment of 16 with 4 equiv of 1,4-dioxane is an alternative synthetic route to 1. Compounds 2, 3, 9, 10, and 14 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The reactions demonstrate that 1 is a versatile and useful reagent for the synthesis of a variety of main group imides.
