β-Cyclomanganated 1,5-diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-ones and their reactions with alkynes: routes to η5-pyranyl--- and η5-oxocycloheptadienyl---Mn(CO)3 complexes
Abstract
1,5-Diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-ones (4) are cyclometalated with benzylpentacarbonylmanganese to form [[1-phenyl-2-((E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-oyl-κO)]ethenyl-κC1]tetracarbonylmanganese derivatives (5). Coupling of 5 with alkynes in some cases gives [4-phenyl-2-(2-phenylethenyl)pyranyl-η5]tricarbonylmanganese complexes (6) analogous to those previously reported for β-manganated chalcones, but in other cases an alternative cyclisation pathway subsequent to insertion of alkyne into the C---Mn bond leads to [6-oxo-4,7-diphenylcyclohepta-1,4-dienyl-1,2,3,4,5-η]tricarbonylmanganese complexes (7). The X-ray crystal structure determination is reported for one such compound, [6-oxo-2,4,7-triphenylcyclohepta-1,4-dienyl-1,2,3,4,5-η]tricarbonylmanganese (7a), derived from 1,5-diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one and phenylacetylene. The 7-phenyl group is found to occupy the endo position, and a mechanism involving Mn-mediated aryl migration is suggested to explain this stereochemistry. The reaction of 7a with ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate gives a low yield of 2-nitro-3,5,7-triphenylcyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one (9), whose structure was established by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The pyranyl complexes (6) provide the corresponding pyrylium triiodide salts (8) when demetalated with iodine.
