Metallacyclopentadienes and related heterocycles via 1,1-organoboration of alkyn-1-ylmetal compounds

Metallacyclopentadienes (metalloles) containing M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Ti, Pt can be prepared by 1,1‐organoboration of alkyn‐1‐ylmetal compounds LnMCCR1(R1 = H, alkyl, aryl, silyl, etc; L depends on M, and can be hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, Cl, Br, amino groups, a chelating diphosphane, and one or more L...

Description
Summary:Metallacyclopentadienes (metalloles) containing M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Ti, Pt can be prepared by 1,1‐organoboration of alkyn‐1‐ylmetal compounds LnMCCR1(R1 = H, alkyl, aryl, silyl, etc; L depends on M, and can be hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, Cl, Br, amino groups, a chelating diphosphane, and one or more L can be again alkynyl groups). These reactions proceed via activation of the MC bond(s) by an electron‐deficient triorganoborane BR3 (R = alkyl, aryl; non‐cyclic, monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic boranes), at first intermolecular and then intramolecular. In the course of these reactions, the MC bonds are cleaved, zwitterionic alkynylborate‐like intermediates are formed, in which the metal‐containing fragments are coordinated side‐on to the CC bonds. In most cases, the 1,1‐organoboration reactions tolerate various functional groups at the alkyne as well as at the metal. The characterization of intermediates and final products by X‐ray structural analysis and by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is documented and described. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
