The synthesis of an anionic chelating phosphine-acyl derivative of tungsten, (CO)4WC(O)-CH2CH2CH2PPh 2-, is described. The complex was prepared from the reaction of Na2W(CO)5 and PPh2CH2CH2CH2Cl in tetrahydrofuran. This complex undergoes decarbonylation in refluxing THF to afford the five-membered phosphametal cycloalkane derivative (CO)4WCH2CH2CH2PPh2 -. Upon pressurizing this metal alkyl species with carbon dioxide (400 psi) at ambient temperature the carboxylate derivative (CO)4WOC(O)CH2CH2CH2PPh 2- was formed. The rate of carbon dioxide insertion into the W-C bond of this phosphine substitution derivative was qualitatively faster than the analogous process involving CH3W(CO)5-, indicative of a rate enhancement by the phosphine ligand. All compounds were characterized by infrared and NMR (13C) spectroscopy. Single crystals of [PPh4][W(CO)4C(O)-CH2CH2CH 2PPh2] are monoclinic of space group P21/n with a = 9.444 (1) ?, b = 22.654 (5) ?, c = 21.279 (4) ?, β = 96.00 (1)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved and refined by using 2831 unique, observed reflections measured on a Nicolet P3 diffractometer to R and Rw values of 0.0699 and 0.0787. The six-membered chelate ring assumes a chain conformation with the acyl groups' oxygen atom lying 0.940 ? from the equatorial plane of the metals' coordination sphere. The W-C(O)- and W-P bond distances were found to be 2.260 (19) and 2.504 (6) ?, respectively.
