Insertion of two CO moieties into an alkene double bond to form a RCH = C(O)C(O) = CHR/sup 2 -/ unit via organosamarium activation
RCH=CHR (R = 2-pyridyl) reacts with (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)/sub 2/Sm(THF)/sub 2/ to form a red complex, which reacts with CO at 80 psi in toluene to form ((C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)/sub 2/Sm)/sub 2/(..mu..-eta/sup 4/-RCH=C(O)C(O)=CHR) (1) in 90% yield. 1 cocrystallizes with 2 molecules of toluene in space group C2/m with a = 15.818 (2) A, b = 14.060 (2) A, c = 15.353 (2) A, ..beta.. = 111.480 (12)/sup 0/, and Z = 2 for D/sub calcd/ = 1.32 g cm/sup -3/. Least-squares refinement on the basis of 2526 observed reflections led to a final R value of 0.045. The two (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)/sub 2/Sm units are bridged by a tetradentate bisenolate ligand, RCH=C(O)C(O)=CHR/sup 2 -/, such that each Sm is coordinated to one oxygen and the nitrogen atom of the pyridyl group closest to that oxygen. The Sm-O, Sm-N, and average Sm-C(ring) distances are 2.191 (6), 2.473 (7), and 2.71 (1) A, respectively.
