Abstract

The monodeprotonation of [CH2(PPh2BH 3)(PPh2=E)] (E = S (6), O (7)) afforded [CH(PPh 2BH3)(PPh2=E)]- (E = S (6 -), O (7-)), whose structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The kinetics of the second deprotonation appeared to be crucial in efficient synthesis of the corresponding dianions. Thus, the double deprotonation of 6 only led to 62-; the analogous reaction with 7 was slower and resulted only in the partial formation of 72-. Double deprotonation of the compound [CH2(SiMe3)(PPh 2=S)] (8) also resulted in the partial formation of [C(SiMe 3)(PPh2=S)]2- (82-), whose structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The rare monomeric Mg carbene compound [MgC(PPh2BH3)(PPh2=S)] (9) was obtained by the reaction of 6 with Mg(nBu)2. The X-ray structure of 9 is presented.
