HIGHLY DIASTEREOSELECTIVE FORMATION AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF [2-CYCLOADDUCT FROM THE PHOSPHENIUM COMPLEXES CP(OC)(2)M=PH) (O-TOL)(M=MO, W) AND ISOCYANATES(2])
W. Malisch et al., HIGHLY DIASTEREOSELECTIVE FORMATION AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF [2-CYCLOADDUCT FROM THE PHOSPHENIUM COMPLEXES CP(OC)(2)M=PH) (O-TOL)(M=MO, W) AND ISOCYANATES(2]), Inorganica Chimica Acta, 244(2), 1996, pp. 147-150
[2+2] Cycloaddition of the prostereogenic phosphenium complexes Cp(OC)
(2)M=P(o-Tol)Ph (M=Mo (1a), W (1b)) with the isocyanates RNCO (R=Et (2
a), Ph (2b)) leads to the formation of the four-membered phosphametall
acycles Cp(OC)(2)M-P(o-tol)(Ph)-C(O)-NR (M=Mo, W; R=Et, Ph) (3a-c) wit
h high diastereoselectivity. The X-ray crystal structure of Cp(OC)(2)W
-P(o-tol)(Ph)-C(O)-NEt (3b) reveals that the preferred diastereomer is
characterized by a syn arrangement of the tolyl ligand and the cyclop
entadienyl unit.
