SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF CHIRAL RHENIUM AMINE AND AMIDE COMPLEXES OF THE FORMULAS [(ETA-5-C5H5)RE(NO)(PPH3)(NHRR')]+TFO- AND (ETA-5-C5H5)RE(NO)(PPH3)(NRR')

Reactions of racemic and optically active (5-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(OTf) with primary and secondary amines give the amine complexes [(5-C5H5)Re(NO)-(PPh3)(NHRR)]+TfO- with retention of configuration at rhenium. These react with n-BuLi to give amide complexes (5-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(NRR) that contain an unusually basic and nucleophilic nitrogen. 1990, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
