Abstract
The 1H nmr spectra of 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2-methoxybenzenedicarbonyltriphenylphosphinechromium (5) and some related compounds at low temperatures show the presence of two species which interconvert with free energy of activation near 50 kJ mol−1. The species differ in the orientation of the methoxy with respect to the chromium, since the same type of process is observed in a chelate complex in which a phosphinite ligand on chromium is also attached to the arene. Hindered rotation about the arene–chromium axis is not involved. The crystal structure of 5 shows the Ph3P anti to the methoxy and the O-methyl group proximal to chromium.
