Page/Page column 39, (2018/02/28)
This invention relates to a compound represented by the formula: TyLAMXn-2 wherein: A is a substituted or unsubstituted tetrahydro-as-indacenyl group bonded to M; L is substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic or polycyclic arenyl ligand or monocyclic or polycyclic heteroarenyl ligand bonded to M; M is a group 3, 4, 5, or 6 transition metal (preferably group 4); T is a bridging group bonded to L and A; y is 0 or 1, indicating the absence or presence of T; X is a leaving group, typically a univalent anionic ligand, or two Xs are joined and bound to the metal atom to form a metallocycle ring, or two Xs are joined to form a chelating ligand, a diene ligand, or an alkylidene; n is the oxidation state of M and is 3, 4, 5, or 6.

The title problem was investigated in the reaction of the dibromide 1 with carbanions 2a-2g covering a range greater than 15 pK units in DMSO. It was found that the bis(monoalkylated) product 3 arises exclusively or predominantly from the carbanions 2d-2g derived from the less acidic carbon acids 7d-7g whereas the cyclic product of dialkylation 4 prevails in the reaction of the carbanions 2a-2c derived from the more acidic carbon acids 7a-7c. The alkylation selectivity thus depends critically on the absolute acidity of the carbon acid participating in the reaction. Rationale for this novel, and on basis of earlier studies unexpected finding is provided in terms of eqs. (1)-(4).
