The yttrium carbene complex [Y(BIPM)(I)(THF)2] (1; BIPM = C(PPh2NSiMe3)2) was reacted with a range of unsaturated substrates. The reaction of 1 with the phosphaalkyne PCBup>tp> afforded the [2 + 2] cycloaddition product [Y{C(PPh2NSiMe3)2(PCBup>tp>)-魏p>4p>C,C鈥?N,N鈥瞹(I)] (2). Similarly, the reactions of 1 with the heteroallenes N,N鈥?dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and tert-butyl isocyanate gave the [2 + 2] cycloaddition products [Y{C(PPh2NSiMe3)2[C(NCy)2]-魏p>4p>C,N,N鈥?N鈥硙(I)(THF)] (3) and [Y{C(PPh2NSiMe3)2[C(O)(NBup>tp>)]-魏p>4p>C,N,N鈥?O}(I)(THF)2] (4), respectively. In contrast, the reaction of 1 with tert-butyl isothiocyanate afforded the ketenimine Bup>tp>N鈺怌鈺怌(PPh2NSiMe3)2 (5), with the concomitant formal elimination of 鈥淵SI(THF)n鈥? The sterically demanding arylamine 2,6-diisopropylphenylamine reacted with 1 via a 1,2-addition across the Y鈺怌 bond to yield the anilide鈥搈ethanide complex [Y(BIPMH)(NHDipp)(I)(THF)] (6; Dipp = C6H3Prp>ip>2-2,6). The reaction of 1 with the benzopyrone coumarin affords the ring-opened dinuclear aryloxide鈥揺nolate complex [Y2{C(PPh2NSiMe3)2[C(O)(CHCHC6H4O-2)]-魏p>2p>-N,O:渭,魏-O鈥瞹2(I)(渭-I)(THF)] (7), which is postulated to form by sequential Y鈥揙, C鈥揅, and C鈺怌 bond formation and cleavage of the C鈥揙 ester linkage and the C鈺怬 and Y鈺怌 double bonds. Benzoyl fluoride reacts with 1 to afford p>1p>/2 equiv of the bis-enolate complex [Y{C(PPh2NSiMe3)2[C(O)(Ph)]-魏p>2p>N,O}2(I)] (8) with formal elimination of 鈥淵F2I(THF)n鈥?by ligand scrambling. Complexes 2鈥?b>8 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, multielement NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and CHN microanalyses.
