Abstract
Reaction of [(η5-C10H9)Mn(CO)3] (1) with L produced [(η3-C10H9)Mn(CO)3L] (2, L = P(OMe)3; 5, L = CO) in high yields. X-ray structural analysis of 2 confirmed an η3-bonding mode of the 1-hydronaphthalene ring. Thermal treatment of 2 led to [(η5-C10H9)Mn(CO)2P(OMe) 3] (3). The η5-1-hydronaphthalene ring in 1 is quite easily ring-slipped, η5 ↔ η3. A kinetic study of the reaction of 1 with P(OMe)3 indicates that formation of 2 is first order in 1 and first order in P(OMe)3 with the following activation parameters: ΔH‡ = 6.9 ± 0.4 kcal/mol; ΔS‡ = -32.6 ± 1.5 eu. Quantitative comparison between the reactivity of the indenyl complex [(η5-C9H7)Mn(CO)3] with P(OEt)3 and 1 with P(OMe)3 at 130°C shows that the rate constant for 1 is 2 × 106 times faster than that of the indenyl complex. The tremendous rate enhancement in 1 was rationalized as a stabilization of 2 by the second benzene ring. The facile ring-slippage in 1 has been utilized in the synthesis of [(η6-C10H8)Mn(CO)2P(OMe) 3]-BF4 and in the catalytic hydrosilylation of ketones. Complex 1 is an effective catalyst for the hydrosilylation of alkyl and aryl ketones with Ph2SiH2 as a silane source. The indenyl complex [(η5-C9H7)Mn(CO)3] has no catalytic activity in the hydrosilylation of ketones. The facile ring-slippage in the η5-1-hydronaphthalene ring plays a crucial role in the chemistry of 1.
