Title: Syntheses of Tungsten Imido Cyclohexylidene Complexes Using Perfluoro‐ t ‐Butanol or Hexafluoro‐ t ‐Butanol as Acids

Journal Article · · Angewandte Chemie (International Edition)

Abstract The fluorinated alcohols, (CF 3 ) 3 COH (R F9 OH) and (CF 3 ) 2 MeCOH (R F6 OH), react with W(NR) 2 Cy 2 (Cy=Cyclohexyl; R=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl or 1‐adamantyl) in C 6 D 6 at 55 °C to give cyclohexylidene complexes. Traditional routes to terminal alkylidene complexes (neopentylidene or neophylidene) have used either triflic acid or HCl (rarely), but relatively weak fluorinated acids are sufficient and active bisalkoxide catalysts are therefore prepared directly. An α hydrogen abstraction reaction to give a cyclohexylidene complex from a biscyclohexyl complex appears to be as facile as α hydrogen abstraction to give a neopentylidene or neophylidene ligand, but isomerization of a cyclohexene formed through β hydrogen abstraction is also a possibility. The OR F9 ligands can be replaced readily with dimethylpyrrolide (Me 2 Pyr) or other more basic alkoxides. Single crystal X‐ray studies were carried out on W(NAr) 2 Cy 2 , W(NAr)(OR F9 ) 2 (C 6 H 10 )(ArNH 2 ), W(NAr)(OR F6 ) 2 (C 6 H 10 )(ArNH 2 ), W(NAd)(OR F9 ) 2 (C 6 H 10 )(AdNH 2 ), W(NAr)(O‐ i ‐Pr F6 ) 3 Cy, and W(NAd)(η 1 ‐Me 2 Pyr) 2 (C 6 H 10 ) (C 6 H 10 =cyclohexylidene).
