Treatment of a solution of a mixture of 1-aryl-2-arylsulfonylethanones 9 and alkylsulfonyl chlorides (1.5-2.0 equiv) in THF at 0 degree C with potassium hydroxide (8 equiv) for 10 min gave a rearrangement product, i.e., 1-aryl-2-(arylsulfonylmethanesulfonyl)ethanones 8, in excellent yields. Regiospecific methyl- and ethylation at the methylene carbon sandwiched between two sulfonyl groups of 8 could be achieved by the reactions of 7i-j with LDA (1 equiv) in THF at room temperature, respectively.

The phosphaguanidinate rare-earth-metal bis(aminobenzyl) complexes [(PhP)C(NCHPr-2,6)]Ln(CHCH NMe-) (Ln = Y(1-Y) and Lu(1-Lu)) were synthesized by the protonolysis of (PhP)[C(NHR)(NR)] (R = 2,6-(Pr)CH) with Ln(CHCHNMe-) (Ln = Y and Lu). Interestingly, the ring-opening rearrangement product [-MeNCHCHC(NCHPr-2,6)]Lu(CHCHNMe-)[O(CH)PPh] (2) was obtained when the acid-base reaction was carried out in THF solution at 60 °C for 36 h. Additionally, the trinuclear homometallic yttrium multimethyl/methylidene complex {[(PhP)C(NCHPr-2,6)]Y(μ-Me)}(μ-Me)(μ-CH) (3) was synthesized by the treatment of 1-Y with AlMe (2 equiv.

Whereas molybdenum dinitrogen complexes have played a major role as catalytic model systems of nitrogenase, corresponding tungsten complexes were in most cases found to be catalytically inactive. Herein, we present a modified pentadentate tetrapodal (pentaPod) phosphine ligand in which two dimethylphosphine groups of the pentaPodMe (P5Me) ligand have been replaced with phospholanes (Pln). The derived molybdenum complex [Mo(N2)P5Pln] generates 22 and the analogous tungsten complex [W(N2)P5Pln] 7 equivalents of NH3 from N2 in the presence of 180 equiv.

Reduction of [K{(pyrrpyr)Fe}(μ-N)] (1) with two equiv. of KC in the presence of crown-ether 18-C-6 yields the N adduct [{K(18-C-6)}(pyrrpyr)Fe(N)] (2). Complex 2 heterolytically splits the C-H bond of benzene to form [{K(18-C-6)}(pyrrpyr)Fe(CH)] (3), whereby usage of a diboron Bpin promotes hydride elimination to form the salt [K(18-C-6)HBPin] (4).

The carbene-stabilised beryllium Grignards [(CAAC)BeBrR] (R = CAACH 1a, Dur 1b; CAAC/H = 1-(2,6-dipropylphenyl)-2,2,4,4-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-yl/idene; Dur = 2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl) undergo salt metathesis with various pseudohalide salt precursors. Whereas with [NaNCS] the thiocyanato Grignards [(CAAC)Be(NCS)R] (R = CAACH 2a, Dur 2b) are obtained selectively, salt metatheses with [Na(OCP)(dioxane)] and [K(OCN)] are fraught with side reactions, in particular scrambling of both neutral and anionic ligands, leading to complex product mixtures, from which the first examples of beryllium phosphaethynolate Grignards [(thf)(CAACH)Be(OCP)] (3) and [(CAAC)Be(OCP)R] (R = CAACH 4a, Dur 4b), as well as the isocyanate-bridged hexamer [(CAAC)BrBe(1,3-μ-OCN)] (7) were determined as the main products. The complexity of possible side reactions is seen in complex 5, a byproduct of the salt metathesis of 1b with [Na(OCP)(dioxane)], which hints at radical redox processes, OCP homocoupling, OCP coupling with CAAC, as well as OCP insertion into the Be-R bond.

Boranes featuring bulky hypersilyl or supersilyl groups and/or sterically unencumbered trimethylgermyl substituents were synthesized for investigation as potential precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of elemental boron. The envisaged ALD process would employ a boron trihalide coreactant, exploiting the formation of strong silicon-halogen and germanium-halogen bonds as a driving force. The alkali metal silyl and germyl compounds hypersilyl lithium, {(MeSi)Si}Li(THF) (), supersilyl sodium, (BuSi)Na(THF) (, = 2-3), and trimethylgermyl lithium, {MeGeLi(THF)} (), were used for the synthesis of the silyl- and germyl-substituted boranes in this work.
