Abstract

Routes to new tungsten alkylidene complexes that contain tert-butylimido or adamantylimido ligands have been devised that begin with a reaction between WCl 6 and 4 equivalents of HNR(TMS) to give [W(NR) 2Cl(μ- Cl)(RNH 2)] 2 (R = t-Bu or 1-adamantyl). Alkylation leads to W(NR) 2(CH 2R′) 2 (R′ = t-Bu or CMe 2Ph), which upon treatment with pyridinium chloride yields W(NR)(CHR′)Cl 2(py) 2 complexes, from which W(NR)(CHR′)(pyrrolide) 2 and two W(N-t-Bu)(CHR′) (pyrrolide)(OAr) complexes (OAr = hexamethyl- or hexaisopropylterphenoxide) have been prepared.
