Complexes of the Platinum Metals. Part 30. Fragmentation Reactions of Rhodium and Iridium Trichloro- and Tribromo-acetates

The nitrosyl complexes (M = Rh or Ir) react readily with trichloroacetic acid in acetone solution at ambient temperature to afford the dichloro-complexes in excellent yield.The rhodium-based reaction performed at ca. 0 deg C and quickly worked-up affords the carboxylate complex which is stable in pure acetone, but rapidly converts to the dichloride when free trichloroacetic acid and triphenylphosphine are introduced to the solution.The complexes , , mer-, and also react with trichloroacetic acid to form trichloroacetates which undergo similar ligand fragmentation reactions.Reaction pathways involving formation of CCl3(1-), Cl(1-), :CCl2, and CO2 fragments are outlined; hydrolysis of dichlorocarbene affords carbonyl ligands.Similar reactions have been observed with tribromoacetic acid.

REACTIONS INVOLVING TRANSITION METALS. XVII. REACTION OF ORGANIC HALOGEN COMPOUNDS WITH 2 AND 2 (S = CH2Cl2, THF)

The complexes 2 and 2 (S=CH2Cl2, THF) have been shown to react with CXCl3 (X=Cl, H) to form with generation of both dichlorocarbene and trichloromethyl radical.Reaction of 2 with CF3I, allyl- and benzyl-halides takes a different course giving organic coupling products and .The THF solvate complex also causes coupling of gem-dihalides, and dehalogenation of vic-dihalides to produce alkenes.Possible mechanisms for these reactions are discussed.
