Metal-promoted C-C bond formation from one-carbon functional groups: Modeling study for reductive coupling of carbon dioxide

Bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)dicarbonyltitanium(II), Cp2Ti(CO)2 (Cp = η5-C5H5), undergoes an oxidative addition by two molecules of diethyl ketomalonate (DEKM) with loss of the two CO groups and formation of the symmetric metallacycle Cp2Ti-O-C(R2)-C(R2)-O (I) (R = CO2C2H5). The pinacol-like structure of the ligand O,O′ bonded to titanium(IV) is shown by the NMR spectrum and confirmed by the X-ray analysis. The overall structure is that found for other Cp2Ti complexes, where the metal bonds a bidentate chelating ligand. The chelate ring has a gauche conformation, the carbon atoms being displaced by 0.18 A? on opposite sites from the Ti,O,O′ plane. p-Tolylcarbodiimide (p-TCD) is reductively coupled by Cp2Ti(CO)2 to tetra-p-tolyloxalylamidine, which acts as a dinucleating ligand bonding two Cp2Ti units, containing titanium in the +3 oxidation state (1.74 μB per titanium at 293 K) [Cp2Ti(p-TCD)]2 (II). The nature of the ligand, whose resemblance with other electronically delocalized systems is noteworthy, was clarified by an X-ray analysis. The C-N distances in the metallacycle rings have been, practically, found identical; the mean value of 1.331 (3) A? indicates a significant double-bond character. The dinucleating ligand, except for the p-tolyl groups, is perfectly planar with the two titanium atoms displaced by 0.34 A? in the opposite sites of the ligand plane. Iodine converts complex II to the corresponding diamagnetic titanium(IV) compound [Cp2Ti(p-TCD)]2(I3)2. The oxidation of II carried out with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) affords a probable charge-transfer complex, [Cp2Ti(p-TCD)]2(TCNE)2, containing the radical anion TCNE-·, the presence of which is deduced from the IR spectrum (νCN(Nujol) = 2145 (s) and 2185 (ms) cm-1) and from the magnetic moment suggesting the presence of two unpaired electrons per unit. A mechanism is proposed for this rather unusual metal-promoted reductive coupling of DEKM and p-TCD.
