Complete Defluorination of 1,2,3,4-Tetramethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopentadienide by titaniumtetrakisdimethylamide. Selective Formation of a Cyclic Hexanuclear Titaniumfluoroamide and 6,6-Dimethylaminotetramethylfulvene

1,2,3,4-Tetramethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopentadiene (Cp*CF3-H, 1) reacts with [Ti(NMe2)4] (2) under mild conditions to give [Ti(m-NMe2)(NMe2)(m-F)(F)]6 (3) in nearly quantitative yield. The molecular structure of 3 consists of a ring of six [TiF2(NMe2)2] edge-bridged octahedra. Titanium complexes...

Sumario:1,2,3,4-Tetramethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopentadiene (Cp*CF3-H, 1) reacts with [Ti(NMe2)4] (2) under mild conditions to give [Ti(m-NMe2)(NMe2)(m-F)(F)]6 (3) in nearly quantitative yield. The molecular structure of 3 consists of a ring of six [TiF2(NMe2)2] edge-bridged octahedra. Titanium complexes containing the Cp*CF3 ligand, which was the primary intention of these investigations, were not observed. C5Me4=C(NMe2)2 (4) was isolated as a by-product. The complete defluorination of an aliphatic CF3 group occurs during the reaction. The reaction mechanism involves the primary formation of a difluorofulvene intermediate C5Me4=CF2 (5), which was monitored by NMR studies. Density functional theory calculations predict a highly charged C6 atom (+0.87) in 5, which is discussed as the driving force of the reaction.
