ketenyl bond to give the bidentate acylamido ligand. This type of insertion of isocyanates into metal-carbon bonds has been documented in reactions involving MMexC1, (M = Nb, Ta; x = 1, 21°) and TiCp,(alkyl)ll species. The reaction shown in eq 2 is likely to be one of a general class of reactions between high oxidation state alkylidyne complexes and heteroatomic double bonds. For example, preliminary results suggest that carbodiimideslZreact with W(C-t-Bu)(dme)Cl, in a manner analogous to that described here for cyclohexyl isocyanate. The results reported here should be compared with those involving reactions between W(V1) alkylidyne or tungstenacyclobutadiene complexes and the carbonyl f~nctionality.~ Registry No. 1,99605-36-4; W(C-t-Bu)(dMe)Cl,,83416-70-0; CyNHC(O)CH(t-Bu)C(o)OCHS, 99605-37-5; CyNCO, 3173-53-3.

Summary: W(C-t-Bu)(DIPP), (DIPP = 2,6-diisopropylphenoxide) reacts rapidly with acetonitrile to give [W(NMDIPP),]. and t-BuCzCMe. I t reacts with acetone, benzaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, ethyl formate, and N J-dimethylformamide to give oxo vinyl complexes of the type W(0)(t-BuC=CR,R2)(DIPP),. The tungstenacyclobutadiene complex W(C3Et3)(DIPP), reacts similarly with acetone, benzaldehyde, ethyl formate and N,Ndimethylformamide to give complexes of the type W(0)(EtC-CR,R,)(DIPP),. The oxo vinyl complexes can be hydrolyzed by base to yield the expected olefinic product in good to excellent yield. The olefin product is mainly the cis isomer in most cases.

Tantalum and niobium neopentylidene complexes2and an incipient titanium methylene complex3are known to react with the carbonyl function in a Wittig-like manner, not only with aldehydes and ketones but also with esters and amides. Recently, similar reactions with various zir(1)Multiple Metal-Carbon Bonds. 41. For part 40 see: Strutz, H.; Dewan, J. C.; Schrock, R. R. J. Am. Chem. SOC.1985,107, 5999. (2)Schrock, R. R. J. Am.

"None" implies that there are no geometric isomers and that any rotomers interconvert rapidly on NMR time scale at 25 "C. cHydrolysis of isolated (i) or crude (c) samples was effected by shaking samples dissolved in ether, toluene, or C6D6with -1 N aqueous KOH until the sample was essentially colorless (5-15 min).

Yields using isolated, crystalline product are 60% pure cis-(EtO)HC==CH-t-Bu and 33% t-BuCH,CHO. Stereochemistry could not be assigned due to formation of the iminium ion in the presence of DIPPH. 'The products consist of 30% pure cis-(EtO)HC=CHEt and 41% PrCHO.

conium complexes have been suc~essful.~For some time we have been looking for Wittig-like reactions of do alkylidyne complexes, since the metal-carbon triple bond in such species is also thought to be polarized M+C-.5 We report several such reactions here for tungsten complexes containing the 2,6-diisopropylphenoxide(DIPP) ligand.

BuCH,CN produces a monoadduct that can be crystallied from pentane at -40 "C and that decomposes over a period of several hours at 25 "C to give large, well-formed crystals of W(N)(DIPP),I,. W(C-t-Bu)(DIPP), in ether reacts immediately with acetone to give an orange-red crystalline product in high yield. IR, lH NMR, and 13CNMR data are all consistent with the product being an oxo vinyl species, i.e., W(O)(tBuC=CM~,)(DIPP),.~ Two isomers are observed at 25 (4) (a) Clift, S. M.; Schwartz, J. J. Am.

"C in a ratio of -3:l. We propose that the structure of W(O)(t-BuC=CMe,)(DIPP), is either a trigonal bipyramid with the oxo and vinyl ligands in the equatorial plane or a related square pyramid with the oxo ligand in the apical position. (The structure of W(C3Et3)(DIPP),is actually somewhere between TBP and SP.6) The vinyl ligand probably lies in the same plane as the W = O bond, perhaps primarily for steric rather than electronic reasons (see below), and the isomers therefore arise due to restricted rotation about the W-C bond (eq 2). W(O)(t-BuC= CMe2)(DIPP)3can be hydrolyzed with aqueous 1N KOH in 15 min to give t-BuHC=CMe2 in high yield along with free DIPPH (Table I).

W(C-t-Bu)(DIPP), reacts' with benzaldehyde, paraformaldehyde,ethyl formate, and N,iV-dimethylformamide to give analogous oxo vinyl species in high yield.8b The slowest reaction is with DMF. In fact, an adduct is first observedg which upon being heated in toluene to 50 "C overnight yields dark red prisms of the oxo vinyl product. Geometric isomers of the oxo vinyl product of the reaction with benzaldehyde are observed; hydrolysis yields a mixture consisting largely of the trans olefin product. The tungstenacyclobutadienecomplex W(C,Et&(DIPP), also reacts with acetone, benzaldehyde, ethyl formate, and DMF to give complexes of the type W(0)(vinyl)(DIPP)3. The rate of the reaction is limited in this case by the apparently required loss of 3-hexyne from the tungstenacyclobutadiene rings to give intermediate W(CEt)(DIPP), (k E 4 X lo4 s-l; tl,z E 30 min). For example, the reaction with 1 equiv of acetone requires -3 h to go to completion at 25 "C. The reaction between W(C,Et,)(DIPP), and paraformaldehyde fails at 25 "C, probably because the concentration of formaldehyde is too low to compete with 3-hexyne for incipient W(CEt)(DIPP),.

plete in -5 h, and the oxo vinyl complex is isolated in only poor yield (-40%) from pentane at -40 "C. The oxo vinyl complexes of the type W(O)(EtC=CRR')(DIPP), differ from those of the type W(O)(t-BuC=CRR')(DIPP), in that no rotational isomers are observed at 25 OC. Note also that in this case only one geometric isomer of the oxo vinyl product of the reaction with benzaldehyde is observed, and only the cis hydrolysis product is observed. Reactions of W(CR)(DIPP), (R = t-Bu or Et) with the carbonyl function are believed to involved nucleophilic attack on the Lewis acid activated carbonyl carbon atom by the alkylidyne carbon atom to give an oxytungstenacyclobutene intermediate which then rearranges to the oxo vinyl product (eq 3). The ring opening becomes stereoselective when R is not tert-butyl as a result of the larger of R1 or R2 being forced away from the crowded coordination sphere of the metal.

It is interesting to note that analogous reactions involving W(CR)(O-t-Bu), either are considerably slower'O or do not yield analogous oxo vinyl species at all.'l We also know that acetyl chloride reacts with W(C-t-Bu)(DIPP), to give an -85% yield of t-BuC-Me and what appears to be a mixture of W(O)(DIPP),Cl and a small amount of W(O)(DIPP),. Further experiments will be required in order to establish the scope, generality, and selectivity of Wittig-like reactions involving complexes of the type W(CR)(OR'),.

A Hlgh-Resolution Solld-State I3C NMR Study of Fe( C,H,)( CO),CH,/Alumina Surface Chemistry Paul J. Toscano and Tobin J. Marks" Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois 6020 1 Received September 17, 1985

Summary: 13CCPMAS NMR spectroscopy has been employed to characterize surface reaction pathways involving the complexes CpFe(CO),CH,, CpFe('3CO),CH,,

C P F ~ ( C O ) ~ ( ' ~ C(Cp H ~= ) q5-C5H,), and dehydroxylated (DA) or partially dehydroxylated (PDA) y-alumina. A number of possible reaction modes can be ruled out, and surface-induced migratory CO insertion to yield a carbene-like acyl complex is identified as the predominant if not exclusive pathway.

Elucidating the structure(s) of adsorbates arising from the chemisorption of organometallic molecules on high surface area metal oxides (e.g., y-alumina, si1ica)l is a challenging problem of considerable significance in catalysis.'v2 Proposed surface reaction pathways include protonolysis of hydrocarbyl ligands by surface OH groups,'J transfer of hydrocarbyl ligands to exposed Lewis acid sites,4 substitution of carbonyl or other ligands by surface oxide (02-) or OH g r ~ u p s , ~coordination ~,~,~ of carbonyl ligands by surface Lewis acid sites,lanucleophilic addition of surface 02-or OH groups to carbonyl ligands,'aC oxidative addition of OH groups to metal-metal bonds,'a,s and a host of others.' These reaction pathways and the structures of the resulting organometallic moleculesurface complexes have largely been inferred from the nature of products evolved during the chemisorption process and/or, with varying degrees of definition, from surface spectroscopies (principally vibrational, but also Mossbauer, XPS, EPR, etc.). In many cases, these structural assignments are qualitative in nature and could be greatly strengthened by additional information. In this communication, we illustrate the efficacy in such structural studies of high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy, utilizing cross polarization (CP), high-power 'H decoupling, and magic-angle spinning by characterizing for the first time the reaction pathways of a transition-metal carbonyl alkyl complex (selected isotopomers of CpFe(C0)&H3, Cp = T ~ ~ - C with ~ H &y-alumina surfaces.
