Abstract

Reaction of the allylidene tungsten complex [W(CPhCHCHMe)Br2(CO)2(4-picoline)] (1) with the dithiocarbamates MS2CNR2 (a: M=Na, R=Et; b: M=Na, R=Me; c: M=Li, R=Ph) in THF at 50 °C affords the vinylketene tungsten complexes [W(S2CNR2)2(OCCPhCHCHMe)(CO)] (2a-c). At lower temperatures, four reaction intermediates (3-6) may be discerned. Spectroscopic studies indicate that these compounds contain η4-allyldithiocarbamate ligands which are generated by addition of dithiocarbamate across the metal-carbon double bond of the allylidene-tungsten unit in 1. The structures of [W(S2CNEt2)2(OCCPhCHCHMe)(CO)] (2a) and of one intermediate, [W(η4-Et2NCS2CPhCHCHMe)(S2CNEt2)(CO)2] (5a) were elucidated by X-ray crystallography.
