Neighboring group participation in organometallic chemistry: Anchimeric assistance in catalyzed arene exchange reactions of (diarylalkane)tricarbonylchromium complexes

Nucleophilic catalysis of the migration of a tricarbonylchromium group from one ring to the other in diarylalkane tricarbonyl derivatives has been observed and compared with catalysis of external exchange. Internal catalysis by a neighboring tricarbonylchromium is also being reported. These results demonstrate the intermediacy of a chromium complex having three carbonyl groups, ketone, and two η2-bound arenes. The consequences of this result for metal exchange reactions are discussed.

Stereoelectronic effects in arene exchange of (arene)tricarbonylchromium complexes: Internal arene exchange and internal arene catalysis of external arene exchange

Kinetics of internal and external arene exchanges in benzene as solvent have been studied with tricarbonylchromium complexes of ditolylmethane, ditolylcyclopropane, dimesitylmethane, and dibenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octadienes. These studies define the stereoelectronic requirements for arene exchange and document the stepwise process in which the bonding in the displaced arene proceeds from η6 to η4 to η2. A new intermediate, (arene)3Cr(CO)3, is indicated by the catalyzed exchange reactions of some of these compounds.
