We report a new strategy to synthesize tungsten imido complexes bearing bidentate redox-active ligands through reduction of high-valent tungsten imido complexes by 1-methyl-3,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-cyclohexadiene (abbreviated MBTCD) without forming any metal salt waste. Reaction of W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)Cl4and MBTCD in the presence of redox-active ligands, such as α-diimine ando-iminoquinone, produced tungsten imido complexes with the corresponding redox-active ligands, (α-diimine)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)Cl2(1), [(o-iminoquinone)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)Cl]2(μ-Cl)2(3), and (o-iminoquinone)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)Cl2(THF) (4), along with Me3SiCl and toluene as whole byproducts. Reaction of the brown complex1with [nBu4N][Cl] afforded intensely green single crystals of [nBu4N][(α-diimine)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)Cl3] (2). The versatile coordination modes of the α-diimine ando-iminoquinone ligands were clarified by spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction studies. Treatment of complex1with 1 equiv of Mg(CH2Ph)2·Et2O resulted in the formation of (α-diimine)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)(CH2Ph)2(5), and thermolysis of5in the presence of PMe2Ph at 80 °C afforded the alkylidene complex (α-diimine)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)(CHPh)(PMe2Ph) (6). On the other hand, thermolysis of5in the presence of CCl4afforded the dissymmetric benzylidene complex (Cl3C-amido-imino)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)(CHPh)Cl (7) via reductive cleavage of the C–Cl bond of CCl4. Isolated alkylidene complexes6and7served as catalysts for ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene with 1 mol% of catalyst loading in toluene at 80 °C. Treatment ofo-iminoquinone complex4with 2 equiv of LiCH2CMe2Ph afforded the dialkyl complex (o-iminoquinone)W(NC6H3-2,6-iPr2)(CH2CMe2Ph)2(8). Dialkyl complexes5and8at 80 °C served as catalysts to give poly(norbornene) with rather broad polydispersity.
