Abstract

Hydrocarbon solutions of M o~(O-~-P~)~(M= M) react with MeCOX or Me, SiX (GX, 1.5 equiv) to give M o~ X,(O-~-P~)~(I; X= C1, Br, I) and GO-i-Pr. Complexes I may be viewed as the coupled products of MO~ X~(O-~-P~)~ and MO~ X (O-~-P~)~. A further reaction between I and GX (1 equiv) or the direct reaction between M0,(0-i-Pr)~ and GX (2 equiv) carried out in toluene leads to MO~ X,(O-~-P~)~ compounds (11). The compounds I1 are unstable in ...
