A reductive recycle strategy for the facile synthesis of molybdenum(VI) alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis

A convenient synthesis of trisamido molybdenum(VI) alkylidyne complexes has been developed, in which the key step is the addition of a geminal dichloride to a trisamido molybdenum(III) complex in the presence of magnesium to continuously recycle unwanted side product 4, selectively generating the desired alkylidyne complexes in high yield.

Nitrogen fixation to cyanide at a molybdenum center

Facile methoxymethylation of N2-derived nitride NMo(N[ tBu]Ar)3 provided the imido cation [MeOCH 2NMo(N[tBu]Ar)3]+ as its triflate salt in 88% yield. Treatment of the latter with LiN(SiMe3) 2 provided blue methoxyketimide complex MeO(H)CNMo(N[ tBu]Ar)3 in 95% yield. Conversion of the latter to the terminal cyanide complex NCMo(N[tBu]Ar)3, which was the subject of a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, was accomplished in 51% yield upon treatment with a combination of SnCl2 and Me 2NSiMe3.

A cycle for organic nitrile synthesis via dinitrogen cleavage

In the presence of NaH, the reaction between N2 and Mo(N[t-Bu]Ar)3 (Ar = 3,5-C6H3Me2) proceeds at room temperature to afford NMo(N[t-Bu]Ar)3 (95%). Lewis acidic silyl triflates (Me3/s
