Successive Reactions of Rhenium Isocyanide Complexes with Nitrogen-ContainingLigands. One-Flask Conversion of ReBr(CO)@NPh) to C(NHPh)(NHR)}l+Br[Re(C0)3(NH2R)2{ Jang-Shyang Fan,+?* Jung-Tzung Lin,tt* Chung-Cheng Chang,* Shou-Jiau Chou,? and Kuang-Lieh Lu*?f Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China, and Department of Chemistry, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Republic of China Received May 19, 1994@

The isocyanide complexes ReBr(C0)4(CNR) (1)react with Me3NO in CH2Clz to give ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(NMe3)(2). Treatment of 1 with Me3NO in the presence of CH3CN yields the nitrile derivatives ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(NCMe)(3). The latter on reaction with two-electrondonor ligands L (L = CO, PPh3) give ReBr(C0)3(CNR)L. Treatment of 3 with amines in CH2Clz leads to the formation of ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(NH2R)(5). When ReBr(CO)s(CNPh)(NCMe) (3a)is treated with excess amines in CHzClz for a prolonged period, the diaminocarbene complexes ReBr(C0)3(NHzR){C(NHPh)(NHR)} (6) are formed. The latter then react with a further 1equiv of amine to afford [Re(C0)3(NHzR)z{C(NHPh)(NHR)}]+Br(7). A one-flask synthesis of 7 was achieved by the interaction of ReBr(C0)4(CNPh) with Me3NO in the presence of CH3CN followed by reaction with the desired amine in CHzC12 a t ambient temperature. ReBr(C0)3(CNPh)(PPh3)(4a), ReBr(C0)3(NH2W){C(NHPh)(NHPri)} (6a), and [Re(C0)3(NH~Pri)2{ C(NHPh)(NHPr')}]+Br- (7a)have been characterized by X-ray structure determination. 4a crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pi;a = 9.801(4) b = 11.190(5) c = 13.862(5) a = 91.49(3)", p = 108.19(3)",y = 65.52(3)", V = 1305.1(8) A3, 2 = 2, R = 3.1%, and R, = 3.5%. 6a gives monoclinic crystals, space group P211n; a = 9.174(2) b = 19.865(2) c = 12.064(2) /3 = 112.264(2)",V = 2034.6(6) A3, 2 = 4, R = 2.7%, and R, = 3.3%. 7a is monoclinic, space group P21In; a = 13.223(2) b = 10.726(3) c = 20.705(2) ,f3 = 103.35(1)", V = 2857.3(9) A3, 2 = 4, R = 4.8%) and R, = 5.0%.

Introduction "he chemistry of metal isocyanide complexes has been much less explored than that of the metal carbony1s.l Previously we have found that the diaminocarbene complexes ReBr(CO)4{C(NHPh)(NHR)},prepared from the reaction of ReBr(C0)4(CNPh)with amines, undergo ortho metalation to form the cyclometalated products Re(CO)4{v2-C(NHCsH4)(NHR)}, and the latter proceed with successive Re-C bond formation and cleavage at ambient temperature.2 Considering that "lightly stabilized" complexes with either unsaturated bond character or labile donor ligands have been widely utilized as precursors to incorporate ligands of i n t e r e ~ t ,we ~,~ thought it would be feasible to activate ReBr(C0)4(CNR) to form labile intermediates in order to gain more insight into the chemistry of the rhenium isocyanide complexes.

"lightly stabilized" derivatives, the trimethylamine compounds ReBr(CO)s(CNR)(NMes)as well as the nitrile complexes ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(NCMe).

After the reaction solution was filtered through a small silica gel column followed by evaporation of the solvent, complex 2 was obtained in good purity and in near-quantitative yield, as indicated by its IR and lH NMR spectra. The IR spectrum of 2b showed a characteristic CEN stretching absorption of a terminally coordinated isocyanide at 2202 ~ m - l .The ~ 13CNMR spectrum of 2b showed a triplet centered at 6 144.2 in a 1:l:l ratio with a coupling constant of J(13C14N)= 20 Hz, attributed to the carbon resonance of the CENPr group. This indicates a very symmetric electric charge distribution around the nitrogen atom of the coordinated isocyanide ligand.6s7 The lH NMR spectrum of 2b showed two singlets, a major resonance at 6 2.95 and a much smaller peak at 6 2.85; both were assigned to the methyl protons of a coordinated NMe3 group.s The minor resonance was attributed to a small amount of an isomer. This was supported by the resonances of the propyl groups, which appeared as two sets of absorptions at 6 3.90,1.94, 1.17 and 6 3.73,1.82, 1.09 in a 16:l ratio. The structure of 2 shown in eq 1is believed to be the major isomer, in which the three carbonyls are in a cofacial arrangement as observed in other related c o m p l e ~ e s . ~The J ~ minor isomer might be that in which the trimethylamine group is trans with respect to the isocyanide ligand. In the presence of CH3CN, complex 1 readily reacts with Me3NO to yield the nitrile derivatives ReBr(C0)s(CNR)(NCMe)(3a,R = Ph; 3b,R = Pr) in good yields (eq 2).

absorption at 2211 cm-’, characteristic of a terminally coordinated isocyanide ligand. The lH NMR spectrum of 3 showed that it exists in two isomeric forms in solution. In addition to the appropriate proton absorptions of the isocyanide ligand, two singlets (6 2.44 and 2.42 for 3a,6 2.42 and 2.41 for 3b)were attributed to the methyl group of the acetonitrile ligand of each isomer. The 13C NMR spectrum of 3b showed the carbon resonance of the CNPr group as a triplet (4) (a) Johnson, B. F. G.; Lewis, J.; Pippard, D. A. J. Chem. SOC., Dalton Trans. 1981,407. (b) Johnson, B. F.

centered at 6 138.7 in a 1:l:l ratio with a coupling constant of J(13C14N)= 20 Hz. This indicates that there is a very symmetric electric charge distribution around the nitrogen atom of the coordinated isocyanide ligand in 3b.6,7 Complexes containing nitrile4J1J2or trimethylamine8J3 as ligands have been widely used as precursors in organometallic synthesis. They tend to decompose, and only a few trimethylamine derivatives have been isolated and characterized, such as O S ~ ( C O ) ~ ~ ( NIn M~~).~ the present study, the white complexes ReBr(C0)s(CNRI(NMe3) (2)and ReBr(CO)s(CNR)(NCMe)(3)are “lightly stabilized” in CHzClz and decompose slowly, but they could be isolated and are found to be air-stable solids. Reactivity of ReBr(CO)s(CNR)(NCMe) (3). The reactivity of the nitrile complexes ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(NCMe) was primarily examined with two-electrondonor ligands. Bubbling CO gas through a solution of complex 3 in CH2C12 gives ReBr(C0)4(CNR) (1) in almost quantitative yields, as indicated by IR spectroscopy. Addition of PPh3 t o a solution of 3 in CHzC12 affords compounds of the formula ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(PPh3) (4a,R = Ph; 4b, R = Pr) in good yields (eq 2). These reactions showed that the coordinated acetonitrile ligand in 3 is labile and is easily displaced by twoelectron-donor ligands. Complex 4 exists as two isomers in solution. The structure of 4a was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. An ORTEP representation is shown in Figure 1, and pertinent crystallographic details are listed in Tables 1-3. Pseudooctahedral geometry is observed around the Re atom, exemplified by the cis interligand bond angles, which are all within the range 82.4(2)-93.14(3)”. The three CO ligands are arranged in a facial configuration, with a somewhat shorter Re-C distance for CO trans t o the phosphine ligand. The isocyanide ligand is tilted away from the triphenylphosphine group, with the P-Re-C(4) bond angle of 91.6(2)” and the Re-C(4)-N angle of 174.0(7)’ presumably due to steric hindrance. The N-C(4) bond length of 1.14(1) A indicates triple-bond character.14 Reaction of ReBr(CO)dCNR)(NCMe) with Amines. The labile complex 3 on reaction with primary amines readily gives ReBr(C0)3(CNR)(H2NR)(5a,R = Ph, R’ = Pr’; Sb, R = Ph, R = Pr; 5c, R = Ph, R = CH2Ph; 5e, R = Pr, R = Pr’; 5f,R = Pr, R = CH2Ph) (Scheme 1). The interaction of 3 with a secondary amine, HNEt2, leads to the formation of similar derivatives ReBr(CO)3(CNR)(HNEt2)(5d,R = Ph; 5g, R = Pr). (6) Becker, E. D.

All the compounds synthesized were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The IR spectra of these complexes showed the same absorption pattern and similar resonance frequencies in the YCO stretching region, compared to spectra for the nitrile complexes ReBr(CO)3(CNR)(NCMe). The 13C NMR spectra of 5e-g also showed the carbon resonance of the CNPr group as a triplet in a 1 : l : l ratio at 6 140.7, 140.6, and 142.3, respectively. This indicates that the nitrogen atoms of the coordinated isocyanide groups possess a symmetric electric charge distribution. Prolonged reaction of ReBr(C0)3(CNPh)(NCMe)(3a)

The latter react continuously with the appropriate amine to yield ReBr(C0)3(H2NR){C(NHPh)(NHR)}(6a,R = Pr'; 6b,R = Pr; 6c,R = CHzPh), in which the coordinated isocyanide ligand has undergone a nucleophilic attack by the amine to give the diaminocarbene (amidinium) group (Scheme 1). The IR spectrum of 6 showed no signal which could be attributed to a terminally coordinated isocyanide ligand. The lH NMR spectrum of 6a exhibited four broad sets ofHN resonances: 6 8.99 and 6.45 (assigned to HNPh and HNPr' of the diaminocarbene ligand) and 6 2.93 and 2.51 (assigned to NHaHb of the coordinated amine group).

In comparison with 5a,b, the complexes 5e,f, which contain the aliphatic isocyanide group CNPr, did not react with amines to form the diaminocarbene products. We attribute this to the electron-releasing properties of the propyl group, which makes the coordinated carbon of the CNPr group more electron rich and consequently makes it inactive toward nucleophilic attack by the amine. These results are consistent with the observations that metal complexes containing an aromatic isocyanide ligand show remarkable differences in reactivity toward nucleophilic reagents compared to their aliphatic analogues.15b Interestingly, continuing the reaction of 3a with excess amine (H2NPr' or HzNPr) for several days at

room temperature gives the products ReBr(C0)3(H&R){C(NHPh)(NHR)} (ea, R = Pr’; 6b, R = Pr), which subsequently undergo replacement of bromide with amine, leading to the ionic complexes [Re(C0)3(HaR)2{(NHPh)(NHR)}l+Br-(7a,R = P i ; 7b,R = Pr) (Scheme 1). Utilization of a large excess of amine in the system speeds up these reactions. Complex 7 was purified by chromatography. These ionic products were characterized by IR, NMR, FAB MS, and elemental analysis. Complex 7a was further defined by X-ray crystallography. The FAB MS spectrum of 7a showed the molecular ion at mlz 551. Two broad peaks at 6 9.76 (HNPh) and 6 6.42 (HNPr’) in the lH NMR were assigned to the H N absorptions of the diaminocarbene ligand. The proton resonances of two coordinated isopropylamines were also clearly indicated in the lH NMR spectra. The main feature of these reactions is that the amine replaces the bromide in 6 to form the ionic product 7, without any substitution of the carbonyl groups. This indicates that the carbonyls coordinate at the rhenium center in 6 with a strong n back-bonding facilitated by other surrounding donor ligands. This is corroborated by the relatively lower stretching frequencies of the carbonyl groups (2022, 1919, and 1877 cm-l) and the relatively shorter length of the Re-CO bond (1.895(7), 1.891(8), and 1.950(7) A) in 6a compared to that in ReBr(C0)4{C(NHPh)(NHW)}(YCO 2104,2001, and 1931 cm-l; Re-CO bond 2.00(1), 1.96(1), and 1.90(1) A1.l An ORTEP diagram of [Re(C0)3(H2NPri){ C(NHPh)(NHPri)}l+Br- (7a) is shown in Figure 3. Atomic positional parameters are set out in Table 6, and selected interatomic distances and angles are listed in Table 7. The molecule contains a rhenium atom in a distorted-octahedral environment. This distortion probably arises from the steric requirement of the more bulky coordinated groups such as diaminocarbene and two amine ligands. The three CO groups are arranged in a facial configuration. Two coordinated isopropylamine groups and the diaminocarbene ligands are cis to each other. The bond lengths and bond angles of the diaminocarbene group are similar to those of the related complex ReBr(CO)r{C(NHPh)(NHPr’)}.l The distance of the Re-C(10) bond (2.17(1) A) is within the range of expected values. The counteranion Br- is clearly shown in Figure 3.

One-Flask Conversion of ReBr(CO)r(CNPh)to [Re(CO)s(H2NR)2{C(N)(NHR)}I+Br-. Treatment of ReBr(CO)c(CNPh)with Me3NO in the presence of CH3CN followed by treatment with excess isopropylamine or propylamine in CH2C12 at room temperature for several days results in the formation of the ionic product [Re(C0)3(HzNR)2{C(NHPh)(NHR))]+Br-(7a,b) in a one-flask reaction. This reaction proceeds successively via intermediates 3, 5, and 6 to give the final product 7 in moderate to good yields under very mild reaction conditions (Scheme 1). Complexes 6a,b were obtained as minor byproducts; however, their yields are reduced on prolonging the reaction time. As described above, each intermediate in this reaction sequence could be isolated and characterized.

Conclusion The complexes ReBr(C0)4(CNR) react readily with nitrogen-containing ligands such as Me3N0, CH3CN, and amines. Although the complexes ReBr(C0MCNR)(NCMe) (3) are stable in the solid state, they exhibit high reactivity toward nucleophilic substitution reactions in solution and therefore could be used as useful intermediates for the synthesis of substituted derivatives of ReBr(CO)d(CNR). Furthermore, transformation of the isocyanide complex ReBr(CO)e(CNPh)to the ionic diaminocarbene products [Re(CO)dH2NR)2{C(NHPh)(NHR)}]+Br- was achieved in a one-flask reaction under very mild conditions. The intermediate of each step could be isolated in good to excellent yields.

Experimental Section General Data. The complex ReBr(C0)4(CNR) was prepared previously.' Other reagents were purchased from commercial sources and were used as received. All manipulations were performed with standard Schlenk techniques. Chromatographic separations could be done in air if exposure is limited to a few hours. Solvents were dried by stirring over Ndbenzophenone (diethyl ether) or CaH2 (hexane, CHzC12, CH3CN) and were freshly distilled prior t o use. IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer 882 infrared spectrophotometer. NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AC-200, an ACP-300, or an AMX-500 FT NMR spectrometer, and mass spectra were recorded on a VG 70-250s mass spectrometer. Elemental analyses were performed using a Perkin-Elmer 2400 CHN elemental analyzer. The 31P chemical shifts are referenced to external 85% H3P04. Synthesis of ReBr(CO)s(CNR)(NMes)(2). All compounds were prepared similarly. A typical preparation is listed here.
