Description
Summary:Reaction of a dinuclear tantallacyclopentadiene complex, Ta2Cl6(μ-C4Et4) (1), with PhSiH3 quantitatively afforded a polymeric dinuclear tantalum η3-allyl complex, {Ta2Cl5[μ-C4Et3(CHMe)]} n (2), whose η3-allyl moiety was derived from selective C–H bond activation of the methylene moiety of the ethyl group bound to the tantallacyclopentadiene fragment. Lewis bases, such as THF and PMe2Ph, coordinated to 2 to give Ta2Cl5(L)2[μ-C4Et3(CHMe)] (3: L = thf; 4: L = PMe2Ph). An insertion reaction of diphenylacetylene into the η3-allyl moiety of 3 afforded the diphenylacetylene-incorporated complex 5. Similarly, unsaturated organic substrates, such as trimethylsilylacetylene, 2-vinylpyridine, and benzaldehyde, inserted into the η3-allyl moiety of 3 to afford the corresponding complexes 6–8.
