Abstract
Hexahydride OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1)
reacts with tert-butylacetylene
to yield bis(alkynyl)-vinylidene Os(C≡CtBu)2(=C=CHtBu)(PiPr3)2 (2). Subsequent protonation of 2 with
HOTf or Et3N·3HF affords the bis(alkynyl)-carbyne
derivatives [Os(C≡CtBu)2(≡CCH2tBu)(PiPr3)2]OTf
(3) and OsF(C≡CtBu)2(≡CCH2tBu)(PiPr3)2 (4), respectively. In contrast, treatment of 2 with acetic acid leads to the alkynyl-vinylidene-vinyl ester derivative
Os(C≡CtBu){κ2-O,C-OC(CH3)OC=CHtBu}(=C=CHtBu)(PiPr3)2 (5). Density functional
theory (DFT) calculations, together with deuterium labeling experiments,
demonstrate that the protonation may occur either at the Cβ carbon of the vinylidene ligand or at the Cβ carbon
atom of one of the alkynyl groups, and that the formation of 5 is governed by thermodynamic control. The reaction of 2 with 2-aminopyridine provides a new route for the selective
synthesis of a 2,3-disubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine
derivative starting from tert-butylacetylene and
2-aminopyridine.
