Ssp. Chou et Ht. Sheng, REGIOCONTROLLED AND STEREOCONTROLLED NUCLEOPHILIC-ADDITION REACTIONS OF AN UNSYMMETRICALLY DISUBSTITUTED BUTADIENE ETA(4)-MOLYBDENUM CATIONIC COMPLEX, Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 44(5), 1997, pp. 469-475
The reactions of a new cationic complex, [Cp(CO)(2)Mo(eta(4)-2-methyl-
3-SPh-C4H4)]+PF6-(3), with carbon, hydride, and nitrogen nucleophiles
were found to give only the C-1 addition products in good yield. The X
-ray crystal structures of two of the addition products 4a and 4e conf
irm the regio-and stereochemistry of the nucleophilic additions.
