Reactions of alkene complexes 5-C5H5)(NO)(PPh3)(H2C=CHR)>BF4 1 (R = H a, Me b, CH2CH2Me c, Ph d or CH2Ph e) and LiCuMe2 in tetrahydrofuran (thf) at -80 deg C gave the primary, β-branched alkyl complexes 5-C5H5)(NO)(PPh3)(CH2CHMeR)> 2 (79-99percent).No secondary alkyl complexes derived from additions to the unsubstituted =CH2 termini were detected.Product diastereomer and enantiomer ratios matched those of the reactants.Thus, the additions are regiospecific, diastereospecific and enantiospecific.A chemical correlation involving 5-C5H5)(NO)(PPh3)> and a crystal structure determination show that attack occurs on the C=C face anti to the rhenium.Reactions of 1a or 1b (in thf) with NaOMe-MeOH gave predominantly the 2-methoxyalkyl complexes 5-C5H5)(NO)(PPh3)> (R = H 4a or Me 4b) (92-97percent).Analogous reactions of 1c or 1d gave 81-77:19-23 mixtures of 4c or 4d and the alkenyl complexes (E)-5-C5H5)(NO)(PPh3)(CH=CHR)> (85-71percent).A similar reaction of 1e gave mainly the allyl complex 5-C5H5)(NO)(PPh3)(CH2CH=CHPh)>.
Electrochemical oxidation of rhenium alkyl complexes of the formula (η5-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(R): Evidence for one-electron charge transfer

The redox properties of rhenium alkyl complexes R-(Re) ((Re) = (η5-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)) with R = PhCH2 (1) (CH3)2CHCH2 (2), and Ph(CH3)CH (3) are studied electrochemically. Cyclic voltammetric, peak current, heterogeneous charge transfer, and chronoamperometric studies in a variety of solvents indicate that 1-3 undergo initial one-electron oxidation to cation radicals R-(Re)?+. These decompose by an EC mechanism at rates that correlate with solvent donor ability. Intermediates, possibly R-(Re/solyent)?+, are detected by cyclic voltammetry. Coulometric experiments further suggest that R-(Re)?+ can catalytically oxidize solvent via R-(Re/solvent)?+. These data contrast with an earlier report describing evidence for a two-electron oxidation of 3.
