文摘
The complex [TiCl25-C5Me4(SiMe2H)}2] (3) was prepared by reacting the lithium salt of 2,3,4,5-tetramethyl-1-(dimethylsilyl)cyclopenta-2,4-diene (1) with [TiCl3(THF)3] followed by chlorination of the formed [TiCl5-C5Me4(SiMe2H)}2] (2) with PbCl2. The reduction of 3 with excess magnesium in THF in the presence of excess bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne (btmse) afforded the bivalent metal ansa disilylene complex with π-coordinated btmse [Ti{η5-C5Me4(SiMe2)}22-btmse)] (4). The dehydrocoupling of the SiMe2H groups was accompanied by hydrogen transfer to the free btmse. Analogous reduction of 3 with magnesium in the presence of ethene gave a mixture of titanocene [Ti{η5-C5Me4(SiMe2Et)}2] (5) and its ethene complex [Ti{η5-C5Me4(SiMe2Et)}22-C2H4)] (6). The latter complex is however unstable in this mixture and rearranges with evolution of ethane to [Ti{η5-C5Me4(SiMe2Et)}{η52-C5Me4(SiMe2CHCH2)}] (7), which has its vinyl group attached by π-coordination to Ti(II). The chlorination of 4 by PbCl2 yields ansa-[TiCl25-C5Me4(SiMe2)}2] (8), liberating the btmse ligand. Complex 8 is reduced with a half-equivalent of Mg to give ansa-[TiCl5-C5Me4(SiMe2)}2] (9). Compounds 5, 6, and 7 were identified by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectra. The crystal structures of complexes 3, 4, and 9 have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
