5-Mercaptotetrazolyl-derived metallaboratranes

The reactions of 1- tert butyl-5-thiotetrazole (Htt t Bu ) with Na[BH 4 ] provides Na[H 2 B(tt t Bu ) 2 ] (Na[ 1 ]) or Na[HB(tt t Bu ) 3 ] (Na[ 2 ]) in refluxing THF or xylene, respectively. Treating [RuCl(Ph)(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] with Na[ 2 ] affords the triply-buttressed ruthenaboratrane [Ru(CO)(PPh 3...

Description
Summary:The reactions of 1- tert butyl-5-thiotetrazole (Htt t Bu ) with Na[BH 4 ] provides Na[H 2 B(tt t Bu ) 2 ] (Na[ 1 ]) or Na[HB(tt t Bu ) 3 ] (Na[ 2 ]) in refluxing THF or xylene, respectively. Treating [RuCl(Ph)(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] with Na[ 2 ] affords the triply-buttressed ruthenaboratrane [Ru(CO)(PPh 3 ){κ 4 - B , S , S ′, S ′′-B(tt t Bu ) 3 }] ( 5 ) whilst Na[ 1 ] with [IrCl(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] or [RuCl(Ph)(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] provides rare examples of doubly-buttressed metallaboratranes [IrH(CO)(PPh 3 ){κ 3 - B , S , S ′-BH(tt t Bu ) 2 }] ( 7 ) and [Ru(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 {κ 3 - B , S , S ′-BH(tt t Bu ) 2 }] ( 12 ), the latter via the isolable thiotetrazoylborate complex [Ru(Ph)(CO)(PPh 3 ){κ 3 - H , S , S ′-H 2 B(tt t Bu ) 2 }] ( 11 ). The salts Na[H 2 B(tt t Bu ) 2 ] and Na[HB(tt t Bu ) 3 ] (tt t Bu = 1-tert.butyl-5-thiotetrazole have been used to provide the new metallaboratranes [Ru(CO)(PPh 3 ){κ 4 - B , S , S ′, S ′′-B(tt t Bu ) 3 }], [IrH(CO)(PPh 3 ){κ 3 - B , S , S ′-BH(tt t Bu ) 2 }] and [Ru(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 {κ 3 - B , S , S ′-BH(tt t Bu ) 2 }].
