Synthesis and hydrophosphorylation of π-complexes of dibenzylideneacetone and cyclic conjugated dienones with homocarbonyl and carbonylcyclopentadienyl molybdenum compounds

Abstract

Reactions of dibenzylideneacetone and cyclic cross-conjugated dienones with hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0) and bis[tricarbonyl(cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(0)] afforded the corresponding complexes with η2-(C=C),η2-(C=O) coordination of the diketone to metal center, regardless of the ligand structure and initial molybdenum compound. The reactivity of the multidentate ligands may change as a result of coordination.
