The reactions of (2-pyridyl)methylenecyclobutane with the metal fragments [OsTp(PiPr3)]+ and [OsCp(PiPr3)]+ (Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate, Cp = cyclopentadienyl) are shown. Complex [OsTp(κ1-OCMe2)2(PiPr3)]BF4 (1) reacts with the organic substrate to give [OsTp{η2-C(CH2CH2CH2)═CH-C5H4N}(PiPr3)]BF4 (2), which evolves into the cyclopentylidene derivative [OsTp(═CCH2CH2CH2CH-C5H4N)(PiPr3)]BF4 (3) as a result of the ring expansion of the methylenecyclobutane unit of the coordinated substrate. The reaction of (2-pyridyl)methylenecyclobutane with [OsCp(NCCH3)2(PiPr3)]PF6 (4) leads to [OsCp{η2-C(CH2CH2CH2)═CH-C5H4N}(PiPr3)]PF6 (5). In contrast to 2, complex 5 evolves by means of exo−endo isomerization of the C−C double bond of the coordinated substrate to afford [OsCp{η2-C(═CHCH2CH2)-CH2-C5H4N}(PiPr3)]PF6 (6).
