Abstract
The first C3-metalated indolizine complex was prepared from the reaction between cis-[Os(dppm)2Cl2] (dppm = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) and propargylic pyridine, HC≡CC(OH)(2-py)2. A phosphonium ring-fused bicyclic osmafuran complex was also prepared from the reaction between cis-[Os(dppm)2Cl2] and pyridyl ynone, HC≡C(C=O)(2-py). The formation of these two products revealed the intermediacy of metal-vinylidene species regarding [Os(dppm)2Cl]+-mediated alkyne transformations. Comparison of the d6 transition-metal precursors employed to activate HC≡CC(OH)(2-py)2 suggests that precursors with higher π-basicity favor the vinylidene-involving pathway.
