ACTINIDE-CARBON BONDS: INSERTION REACTIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE, tert-BUTYLISOCYANTDE, AND tert-BUTYLCYANIDE INTO [[(Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}N]{sub 2}MCH{sub 2}Si(Me){sub 2}NSiMe{sub 3}
The thorium or uranium metallocycles, [(Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}N]{sub 2} ~ MCH{sub 2}Si(Me){sub 2}NSiMe{sub 3} (I), react with tert-butylcyanide to give the six~membered ring compounds, [(Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}N]{sub 2}MN=C(t-Bu)CH{sub 2}SI(Me){sub 2}N- SiMe{sub 3}. The metallocycles (I) also react with the isoelectronic molecules tert-butylisocyanide and carbon monoxide to give the unique five~membered ring compounds with exocyclic carbon-carbon double bonds, [(Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}N]{sub 2}MXC (=CH{sub 2})Si (Me){sub 2}NSiMe{sub 3} , where X is t-BuN or oxygen. The four-membered ring metallocycles (I) give simple coordination complexes of the type [ (Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}N]{sub 2}MCH{sub 2}Si (Me){sub 2}NSiMe{sub 3}-(N{sub 3}SiMe{sub 3}) with trimethylsilylazide.
