Angiola Chiesi-Villa and Corrado Rizzoli Dipartimento di Chimica, Universita di Parma, I-43100 Parma, Italy Received December 9,1994@ Deprotonation of p-MeC6H4SO2Me (1) with KH in THF in the presence of 18-crown-6 led to the isolation of the ion contact pair [p-MeC6H&(CH2)02-- -K(18-crown-6)1 (2). The a-sulfonyl carbanion has been involved in the derivatization of both early- and late-transitionmetal complexes. When the deprotonation of 1 in situ was followed by a reaction with CpzTiClz (Cp = v5-C5H5), we obtained a Ti-C-bonded a-sulfonyl complex, [Cp2Ti(ClXCH2SOzC&14Me-p)l(41, while the reaction of 2 with CpzZrCl2 led to a 1:l mixture of Zr-C- and Zr-0-bonded a-sulfonyl complexes, [Cp2Zr(C1)(CH2S02C6H4Me-p)](5a) and [CpzZr(Cl)(02S(CH2)C6H4Me-p)](5b).

The importance of sulfones in organic synthesis stems from their easy conversion into the corresponding a-sulfonyl carbanions, which are employed in a variety of C-C bond formation reactions. The sulfone group has proved t o be enormously valuable in some of the most demanding and difficult total syntheses carried out in recent years.' A number of X-ray structural determinations of a-sulfonyl carbanions were reported by the Boche2and Gais3groups. Such studies were principally devoted to illustrating the configurational and structural characteristics of lithium a-sulfonyl carbanions. Other significant crystal structure determinations have been carried out on organometallic titanium alkoxide4 and potassium derivatives5 of a-sulfonyl carbanions. As an extension of our study into the fundamental aspects of a-carbanions and enolateq6 we report here our preliminary investigation into this closely related field. Deprotonation of methyl p-tolyl sulfone (1)was carried out with KH in THF, and the suspension was then treated with either 18-crown-6or 2,2,2-Kryptofix.

The CH2S02C6H4Me anion interacts with the potassium atom of the K(18-crown-6)cation through the 0 7 and 0 8 oxygen atoms as an asymmetric chelating ligand (Figure 1). The plane through K, 07, and 08 is tilted with respect to the oxygen mean plane by 71.6(1)". The cation has a typical geometry with the potassium atom protruding by 0.803(1) A from the mean least-squares plane running through the six oxygen atoms. The distortions of the oxygen atoms from the mean plane range from -0.258(4) to 0.232(4) A.

tonation (eq 1) in the presence of Kryptofix gave only uncharacterized decomposition products. This may be due to the very high reactivity of the naked species. For studying the complexation of a-sulfonyl carbanions with transition metals, we prepared the lithium a-sulfonyl carbanion 3, using the recently described LDA-hexane methodology (eq 21.’

We studied the reactivity of lithium and potassium derivatives of methylp-tolyl sulfone with early and late transition metals in order to discover a general approach to organometallic a-sulfonyl carbanion derivatives. However, since the use of the lithium derivative 3 proved troublesome in the isolation and purification of the metal complexes, the potassium complex 2 has been used instead, and to good effect, in the synthesis of transition-metal a-sulfonyl carbanion complexes. Despite the fact that CpzMClz (M = Ti, Zr, Cp = v5-C5H5) reacts with the ion-pair forms of a-sulfinyl anions t o give only decomposition products,6gthe corresponding reactions with the a-sulfonyl carbanion generated in situ give characterizable products (eq 3).

proximately coplanar with the K, 07, and 08 plane (dihedral angle of 11.3(1)’). The S-Cip, bond distance corresponds well to a single bond, while the S-C28 and S-0 distances are consistent with some degree of double-bond character. There is one feature which deserves particular attention, i.e. the orientation of the 07, 0 8 , C28 group of atoms which is roughly parallel to the 18-crown-6oxygen plane (dihedral angle of 15.7(l)’), causing the C28 atom to approach the potassium at a distance of 3.403(6)A,indicative of a weak bonding interaction between the two atoms. We assume that the negative charge is delocalized over all three of the atoms without significantly affecting the values of the bond distances. Accordingly, the small influence of the charge distribution on the S-0 distances is further demonstrated by comparing these distances with those of complex 4 (see below), where an expected shortening is not observed, in spite of the charge localization on the carbon atom.

Complex 4 has been fully characterized, including an X-ray crystal analysis. A picture of 4 is shown in Figure 2. A chlorine atom and the C17 carbon atom of the a-sulfonyl anion are coordinated to titanium in the equatorial plane of the CpzTi unit. The Ti-C bond distance is remarkably longer than the values generally observed for organotitanium derivatives of Ti(IV).8 The S1-C17 bond distance (1.743(5) is also much lon er than the corresponding one in complex 2 (1.621(6) 1, while the sulfur-oxygen distances are not significantly different from those observed in complex 2. The aromatic ring is nearly perpendicular t o the equatorial plane, with the dihedral angle between the Ti, C11, C17, and the C11, ..., C16 planes being 96.4(1)’. The sulfur atom is significantly displaced from the ring plane by 0.085(1) A. The C17-Sl-Cll-Cl6 torsion angle is

Complexes 6 have been found to be fairly unreactive, although they both react slowly over a period of several days with a typical electrophile, namely benzaldehyde, to afford the same expected product, 6, contaminated with small impurities derived from deoxygenation pathwaysQ (eq 4).

76.4(4)". The geometries of the a-sulfonyl carbanion in complexes 2 and 4 are very similar except for a rotation of about 20" of the aromatic ring around the C-S bond as shown by the following torsion angles: complex 2, C26-C21-S1-07 = 37.8(4)", C22-C21-S1-08 = -22.6(5)"; complex 4, C12-Cll-S1-02 = 15.4(5)", C16-Cll-S1-01= -41.7(5)". The presence of a Ti-C bond in 4, and likewise in related compo~nds,~ makes such complexes particularly useful for reactivity studies. In addition, complex 4 contains a Ti-C1 group available for further functionalization. The a-sulfonyl carbanion has bonding sites for both carbophilic and oxophilic metals. Therefore, when we shifted our attention onto zirconium, which is much more oxophilic than titanium, we found that the use of Cp2ZrCl2, as shown in eq 3, led to a 1:l mixture of metal-C-bonded (5a) and metal-0-bonded (5b)sulfonyl carbanions. The NMR spectrum of one of the two complexes is quite close to that of 4, while the spectrum of the other one, which we believe to be the 0-bonded form, is remarkably different. The presence of two Cp resonances is in agreement with the presence of a bidentate form of the a-sulfonyl fragment in 5b and accounts for the fact that we did not observe interconversion between the two forms. This latter observation also rules out a possible C,O bidentate bonding mode.

Complex 6 could only be isolated as an oil and was therefore only characterized by lH NMR spectroscopy. Attempts t o isolate the organometallic product in a cationic f ~ r m afforded ~ ~ , ~only secondary products of decomposition. We have further shown that late transition metals are amenable t o this sort of chemistry.6dy6ga-Sulfinyl potassium carbanions react with [cis-(PPh&PdC121 to give the Pd-C-bonded product [trans-(PPh&(Cl)Pd(CH2Soh)],where Ar = C6H5 or p-MeC&. The reaction of [cis-(PPh3)2PdC12]with the a-sulfonyl anion from 1 parallels the reaction we reported with a-sulfinyl derivatives, including the isomerization of the metal center, thus leading to 7.Q It is noteworthy that in these reactions no reduction of the palladium center was observed, despite the reducing nature of such carbanions. Complex 7 is stable and can be handled in air, but we have experienced some difficulties in completely eliminating the potassium chloride byproduct of this reaction. This is probably the result of the strong coordinative interaction of the potassium ion with the oxygens of the sulfone moiety.

Experimental Section All operations were carried out under an atmosphere of purified nitrogen. All solvents were purified by standard methods and freshly distilled prior to use. NMR spectra were recorded on a 200-AC Bruker instrument. Methyl p-tolyl sulfone (1) was prepared according to the literature.1° Preparation of 2. To a solution of 1 (2.02 g, 11.87 mmol) in THF (220 mL) was added KH (0.477 g, 11.92 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred a t room temperature overnight, and then 18-crown-6 (3.15 g, 11.92 mmol) was added. After a few minutes, a yellow mixture was obtained; the mixture was filtered, and the THF was removed. Diethyl ether was added (60 mL), and the resulting yellow-green product was collected via filtration (2.6 g, 46%). The very sensitive product was purified by extraction with Et2O.

The pale yellow solution was stirred for 1 h, and then a solution of 1 (27.2 g, 160 mmol) in toluene (80 mL) was added dropwise by cannula. The lithium derivative immediately started to precipitate. The resulting suspension was filtered, and the solvent was removed a t low pressure overnight. The residual white powder was stored in sealed ampules (26 g, 92%).

(PPhdPdC121 (1.50 g, 2.14 mmol) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 2 days. The THF was removed, and CHZClz (120 mL) was added. Small quantities of a yellow solid were eliminated by filtration. CHzClz was removed, and Et20 was added. The resulting yellow solid was isolated by filtration and dried under vacuum (1.1g, 70%). We were unable to make the product free of KCl. ‘H NMR (C6D6; 6 ) : 8.05-7.98 (m, 12 H, Ar); 7.14-7.11 (m, 18 H, Ar); 6.83 (d, 2 H, J = 8.77 Hz, AA’BB‘ system, tolyl); 6.68 (d, 2 H, J = 8.77 Hz, AA’BB’ system, tolyl); 2.65 (t, 2 H, J = 7.68 Hz,

The crystals selected for study were mounted in glass capillaries and sealed under nitrogen. The reduced cells were obtained with use of TRACER.I1 Crystal data and details associated with data collection are given in Table 3. Data were collected at room temperature (295 K)on a single-crystal diffractometer. For intensities and background, individual reflection profiles were analyzed.I2 The structure amplitudes were obtained after the usual Lorentz and polarization correction^,'^ and the absolute scale was established by the Wilson method.14 Data for both complexes were corrected for absorption using the program ABSORB.15 The function minimized during the full-matrix least-squares refinement was AwlhFI2. Weights were applied according t o the scheme w = k/[u2(F,)+ lg~Fo21. Anomalous scattering corrections were included in all structure factor calculations.16b Scattering factors for neutral atoms were taken from ref 16a for non-hydrogen atoms and from ref 17 for H. Among the low-angle reflections no correction for secondary extinction was deemed necessary. Solution and refinement were based on the observed reflections. The structures were solved by using SHELX8618 for complex 2 and by the heavy-atom method starting from a three-dimensional Patterson map for complex 4. Refinement was first done isotropically and then anisotropically for non-H atoms. Both structures were refined straightforwardly. All the hydrogen atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and introduced in the subsequent refinements as fixed-atom contributions with isotropic Us fixed at 0.08 and 0.10 A2 for 2 and 4, respectively. The final difference maps showed no unusual feature, with no significant peak above the general background. Final atomic coordinates are listed in Tables 4 and 5 for non-H atoms and in Tables S1 and S2 for hydrogens. Thermal parameters are given in Tables S3 and S4 and bond distances and angles in Tables S5 and S6.I9
