Protonation of an internal alkyne produces a terminal alkene: reactivity of [Mo(η2-MeCCMe)(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2]

Abstract

Structurally defined [Mo(η2-MeCCMe)(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2] reacts with anhydrous HCl in thf to give predominantly trans-[MoCl2(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2] with but-1-ene (69 ± 6%) and cis-but-2-ene (10 ± 2%); in addition, some [MoH2Cl2(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2] and but-2-yne (21 ± 5%) are produced; the mechanistic features by which protonation of an internal alkyne yields a terminal alkene are enumerated.
