Protonation at the aromatic ring vs at the carbonyl group of lanthanide-diaryl ketone dianion species by aryl alcohols. Formation, structural characterization, and reactivity of lanthanide aryloxide, mixed aryloxide/alkoxide, and aryloxide/enolate complexes

Reaction of the ytterbium-benzophenone dianion complex (1), which was formed by reaction of Yb metal with benzophenone in THF/HMPA, with 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, yielded the ytterbium(II) aryloxide complex Yb(OAr){sub 2}(HMPA){sub 2} (2, Ar= C{sub 6}H{sub 2} -{sup t}Bu{sub 2}-2,6-Me-4) as a major product (80%) and the ytterbium(III) enolate complex (3) as a minor one (ca. 5% yield). The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed. X-ray crystallographic studies reveal that 3, 4a, and 7b are isostructural, and so are 5a and 6. The central metal ions in these complexes are all five-coordinated in a trigonal bipyramid form (highly distorted in the case of 5a and 6) with two HMPA ligands at the apical and three anionic oxygen ligands at the equatorial positions. 25 refs., 7 figs., 7 tabs.
