Abstract
The reactions of tris(acetonitrile)tricarbonylchromium 1 with trimethylsilyl derivatives 2–5 of phenalene, indene, 1,2-dihydronaphthalene and trans-β-methylstyrene gave products 10-13, respectively, containing no trimethylsilyl groups. The reactions of 1 with trimethylsilyl derivatives 6–8 of benzene, toluene and cycloheptatriene gave products 14–16, respectively, containing trimethylsilyl groups. The reaction of 1 with 1,2-bis(trimethylsily-1,2-dihydro)naphthalene 9 gave product 17 in which only trimethylsilyl at the allylic position was cleaved. Compound 10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca, with a = 12.228(4), b = 14.288(1), c = 15.128(3) A, Z = 8, RF= 0.046, and Rw = 0.047. X-ray crystallographic data confirm that the Cr(CO)3 moiety is bonded to phenalene in a η6-mold.
