HYDROGEN-BONDING IN ORGANOMETALLIC LIGANDS AND POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS FOR CO/H2 CHEMISTRY - 1ST CARBONYLATION OF AN ISOLABLE METAL ALPHA-HYDROXYALKYL COMPLEX Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The metallacyclic -hydroxyalkyl complex (CO)4MnNH2CHR1CHR2CHOH (2c, R1 = R2 = -(CH2)4-) carbonylates (-3 1 C, 250-360 psi of CO) to an acyl complex, (CO)4MnNH2CHR1CHR2CH(OH)C=O (3c), over 16 times faster than its -(trimethylsilyl)oxy analogue. IR and 13C NMR spectra show an intramolecular hydrogen bond in 3c; this is proposed to account, at least in part, for the faster carbonylation of 2c. 1984, American Chemical Society.
