Synthesis of d2 Tungsten Arene Complexes and Their Reaction with Diphenylacetylene

The synthesis of the d2 arene complexes [W(NPh)(η6-arene)(o-(Me3SiN)2C6H4)] (arene = C6H5Et (3), C6H5Pr (4)) by the room-temperature hydrogenolysis of the dialkyl complexes [W(NPh)(o-(Me3SiN)2C6H4)(R)2] (R = CH2CH2Ph (1), CH2CH2CH2Ph (2)) is described. The ethylbenzene complex 3 reacts with diphenyl...

Description
Summary:The synthesis of the d2 arene complexes [W(NPh)(η6-arene)(o-(Me3SiN)2C6H4)] (arene = C6H5Et (3), C6H5Pr (4)) by the room-temperature hydrogenolysis of the dialkyl complexes [W(NPh)(o-(Me3SiN)2C6H4)(R)2] (R = CH2CH2Ph (1), CH2CH2CH2Ph (2)) is described. The ethylbenzene complex 3 reacts with diphenylacetylene, giving the metallacyclopent-3-ene complex 5.
