Abstract
Addition of 1 equiv of water to Mo(CArp)(ORF9)3 (Arp = p-methoxyphenyl; ORF9 = OC(CF3)3) in the presence of 5% NEt3 (vs Mo) in THF led to the formation of Mo(O)(CHArp)(ORF9)2(THF)2 in good yield. Mo(O)(CHArp)(ORF9)2(THF)2 reacts with 2 equiv of LiOHMT (OHMT = O-2,6-mesityl2C6H3) at room temperature to yield Mo(O)(CHArp)(OHMT)2 and with 2 equiv of NaOTPP (OTPP = 2,3,5,6-tetraphenylphenoxide) to yield Mo(O)(CHArp)(OTPP)2. In the presence of TMEDA (2.5 equiv), Mo(CR)(ORF9)3 (R = Arp, mesityl, or t-Bu) reacts with 1 equiv of water to yield Mo(O)(CHR)(ORF9)2(TMEDA) complexes, from which (when R = t-Bu) TMEDA is readily displaced by 2,2′-bipyridyl to give Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)(ORF9)2(bipy). Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)(ORF9)2(bipy) was converted into Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)Cl2(bipy) readily, from which Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)Cl(OHMT)(3-Brpy) (3-Brpy = 3-bromopyridine) and Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)Cl(OHIPT)(3-Brpy) (OHIPT = O-2,6-(2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2)2C6H3) were prepared. X-ray studies were carried out on Mo(O)(CHArp)(ORF9)2(THF)2, Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)(ORF9)2(TMEDA), Mo(O)(CHArp)(OTPP)2, Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)Cl(OHMT)(3-Brpy), and Mo(O)(CH-t-Bu)Cl(OHIPT)(3-Brpy).
