Isomer differentiation by tri-osmium cluster complexation of substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes

A series of methyl- and dimethyl-substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes have been prepared from their aromatic analogues via Birch reduction and subsequent isomerisation with Fe(CO)3 fragments. These ligands were reacted with [Os3(CO)10(CH3CN)2] to form tri-osmium decacarbonyl cluster compounds containing the η4-coordinated substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes. The various isomers of the substituted dienes show a dramatic difference in their reactivity towards the tri-osmium cluster and it is likely that this is due to the steric interactions between the methyl substituents and the cluster framework, with this effect being more marked for the di-substituted ligands.
Hydrogen Transfer Reactions, 19. - The Catalysis of Hydrogen Transfer and 1,5-H Shift by Rhodium(III) Chloride in Homogeneous Organic Systems

In homogeneous solution, partly in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst, rhodium(III) chloride catalyzes the disproportionation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene and to a lesser extent 1,5-H shifts.In the start phase the catalyst is reduced to the active monovalent state.In these catalytic systems the dehydrogenation proceeds stereoselectively. - This was shown by tracer experiments and isotopes effects using deuterated 1,3-cyclohexadienes 1a-d, which were synthesized with high isotopomeric purity.Key Words: Rhodium chloride / Hydrogen transfer / Deuterated 1,3-cyclohexadienes / Isotope effects
