A Readily Accessible CH Anion Transfer Reagent for the Preparation of a Molybdenum Methylidyne Complex

RMRajesh MukkeraNLNghia LeCWChandler I Woo

Key Points

  • The aim is to create a simple method for generating a methylidyne complex using an anionic transfer reagent.
  • Developed a reagent via lithium-halogen exchange of 11-iodo-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene.
  • Reacted the alkyllithium precursor with a molybdenum complex to form the methylidyne complex.
  • Successfully created a methylidyne complex from the alkyllithium precursor.
  • The method demonstrates accessibility and practical application in synthetic chemistry.

Abstract

A route to a readily accessible source of an anionic methylidyne group (CH - ) was developed via lithium-halogen exchange of 11-iodo-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene ( MA -I). Upon reaction of this alkyllithium precursor with the complex...
