Isocyanide insertion reactions and their role in the cluster-catalyzed hydrogenation of isocyanide molecules
Studies of the reactions of H/sub 2/Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 10/ with the isocyanide molecules, CNR, R = C/sub 6/H/sub 5/, CH/sub 3/, t-C/sub 4/H/sub 9/, are reported. The initial products are 1 : 1 adducts of the type H(..mu..-H)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 10/CNR. A hydrogen atom can be transferred to the isocyanide ligand in two different ways depending on the reaction conditions. In strong donor solvents compounds of the type (..mu..-H)(..mu..-C==N(H)R)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 10/ are obtained apparently through a proton dissociation and readdition process. When heated in weak donor solvents a hydrogen atom is transferred to the carbon atom. This evidently occurs through an intramolecular insertion type process. The initial products, (..mu..-H)(..mu..-eta/sup 2/-HC==NR)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 10/, R = C/sub 6/H/sub 5/, CH/sub 3/, contain a formimidoyl ligand bridging the edge of the cluster. With further heating these compounds lose CO, reversibly, to form the complexes (..mu..-H)(..mu../sub 3/-eta/sup 2/-HC==NR)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/, R = C/sub 6/H/sub 5/, CH/sub 3/, in which the formimidoyl ligand is bonded to the face of the cluster. An x-ray crystallographic analysis of the compound (..mu..-H)(..mu../sub 3/-eta/sup 2/-HC==NC/sub 6/H/sub 5/)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/ is reported. This compound reacts with P(OCH/sub 3/)/sub 3/ to form the adduct (..mu..-H)(..mu..-eta/sup 2/-HC==NC/sub 6/H/sub 5/)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/(P(OCH/sub 3/)/sub 3/) which contains an edge-bridging formimidoyl ligand. An x-ray crystallographic analysis of this compound is also reported. From the reaction solutions which have produced the formimidoyl-containing products, the compounds (..mu..-H)/sub 2/Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/(CNR), R = C/sub 6/H/sub 5/, CH/sub 3/, t-C/sub 4/H/sub 9/, have been isolated. The possible role of these compounds in the formation of the formimidoyl-containing products is discussed. 4 figures, 9 tables.
