A series of new agostic (CH3路路路Rh) (蟺-allyl)-closo-rhodacarboranes (蟺-allyl = 1,1-dimethylallyl, 1,2-dimethylallyl, 1,1,2-trimethylallyl, 1,2,3-trimethylallyl), stable in the solid state, have been synthesized via one-pot reactions between the K+ salts of the [7-R-8-R鈥?7,8-nido-C2B9H10]鈭?/sup> monoanions (1a, R = R鈥?= Me; 1b, R,R鈥?= 渭-(o-xylylene); 1c, R,R鈥?= 渭-(CH2)3) and the di-渭-chloro cyclooctene rhodium dimer [(畏2-C8H14)4Rh2(渭-Cl)2] (2) in the presence of a 3-fold excess of the conjugated 1,3-dienes 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (isoprene, 3), 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene (4), and 3-methylpenta-1,3-diene (5). The agostic structures of [3-{(1鈥?-畏3)-1,1-dimethylallyl}-1,2-(CH3)2-3,1,2-closo-RhC2B9H9] (7a) and [3-{(1鈥?-畏3)-1,1,2-trimethylallyl}-1,2-(CH3)2-3,1,2-closo-RhC2B9H9] (8a) have been unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Two of these 蟺-allyl complexes prepared were evaluated for their efficacy in hydroformylation of the model alkenes under syngas (CO/H2) using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as the solvent, and both display excellent conversion and high regioselectivity in the formation of aldehyde products.
