Abstract
A new Cr(CO)3-bound cyclorhenated 2-phenyl,2-oxazoline derivative was synthesized and treated with two different phenyldiazomethanes, namely Ph2CN2 and (t-Bu)(Ph)N2 under thermolytic conditions in apolar solvents. With the former diazomethane the reaction affords mainly a new bimetallic electron-saturated species resulting from the insertion of the Ph2C moiety into the CAr–Re bond of the rhenacyclic substrate. With the latter diazomethane substituted with one t-butyl group, the reaction quite unexpectedly leads to a new Re(CO)4 metallacycle in which an ortho position is occupied by a (Ph)(t-Bu)(H)C-group, as a possible consequence of an unprecedented insertion–transposition of the Re-centred moiety by C–H bond activation. The results are supported by 6 X-ray structures and analytical informations.
