Title: Actinide-carbon bonds: insertion reactions of carbon monoxide, tert-butyl isocyanide, and tert-butyl cyanide into ((Me/sub 3/Si)/sub 2/N)/sub 2/MCH/sub 2/Si(Me)/sub 2/NSiMe/sub 3/

Abstract

The thorium or uranium metallacycles ((Me/sub 2/Si)/sub 2/N)/sub 2/MCH/sub 2/Si(Me)/sub 2/NSiMe/sub 3/ (I) react with tert-butyl cyanide 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/NSiMe/sub 3/. The metallacycles (I) also react with the isoelectronic molecules tert-butyl isocyanide 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 metallacycles (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 trimethylsilyl azide.
