Abstract

The labile cluster 1,2-Os₃(CO)₁₀(MeCN)₂ (1) reacts with the chiral diphosphine ligand 3,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)-5- methoxy-2(5H)-furanone (bmf) to furnish 1,2-Os₃(CO)₁₀(bmf) (2a) in high yield. Heating cluster 2a over the temperature range 358-383 K under CO leads to isomerization of the bmf ligand and formation of the diphosphine-chelated cluster 1,1-Os₃(CO)₁₀(bmf) (2b) and an equilibrium mixture consisting of 2a and 2b in a 15:85 ratio. Extended thermolysis of an equilibrium mixture of Os₃(CO)₁₀(bmf) is accompanied by CO loss and ortho-metalation of an aryl ring to afford an inseparable mixture of three diastereomeric hydride clusters HOs ₃(CO)₉(C₂₉H₂₃O₃P ₂) (3a-c). Thermolysis of HOs₃(CO)₉(C ₂₉H₂₃O₃P₂) (3a-c) in refluxing toluene leads to P-C bond cleavage and formation of the benzyne-substituted clusters HOs₃(CO)₈(μ-C₆H₄)(μ- C₂₃H₁₉O₃P₂) (4a,b) as a 4:1 mixture of diastereomers. The unequivocal identity of the major benzyne-substituted cluster has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, where the activation of one of the phenyl groups situated α to the furanone carbonyl group in the bmf ligand has been established. The isomerization and activation of the bmf ligand are contrasted with other Os₃(CO)₁₀(diphosphine) derivatives prepared by our groups.
