Abstract

Several reactions of cis-CH3Mn(CO)4L and cis-HMn(CO)4L, have been investigated. The carbonylation of cis-CH3Mn(CO)4L (L = CO, P(OPh)3, P(OMe)3 and PBu3) shows only a very small ligand effect, indicating a transition state that has little unsaturation. Reaction with H2 has very similar observed rate constants and activation parameters to the carbonylation. The hydrides, cis-HMn(CO)4L (L = P(OPh)3, PPh3 and PBu3), are remarkably unreactive toward substitution, requiring temperatures of 100°C. A radical mechanism is most likely. Reactions of cis-HMn(CO)4P(OPh)3 with cis-CH3Mn(CO)4P(OPh)3 and cis-HMn(CO)4PBu3 with CH3C(O)Mn(CO)5 occur at temperatures where methyl migration is readily established and the hydride complexes are unreactive. Thus methyl migration, followed by coordination to a bridging hydride, is indicated for these binuclear reductive elimination reactions.
