The cationic nickel(II) neopentyl complex [(dtbpe)Ni(CH(2)tBu)][PF6] (1; dtbpe = 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane) sequentially inserts carbon monoxide and ethylene into the Ni-C bond to form isolable products. Upon exposure to carbon monoxide, 1 inserts I equiv of CO to give [(dtbpe)Ni(eta(2)-C(O)(CH2Bu)-Bu-t)][PF6] (2). This cationic acyl complex reacts productively with ethylene, resulting in [(dtbpe)Ni(kappa(2) -CH2CH2C(O)CH(2)tBu)][PF6] (3), in which the oxygen atom is bound to Ni, forming a fivemembered metallacycle. Treatment of 2 with phenyl lithium results in deprotonation at an acidic methylene position adjacent to the carbonyl, affording the neutral ketene complex (dtbpe)Ni(eta(2)-OC=(CHBu)-Bu-t) (4). Complexes 2, 3, and 4 are stable at 20 degrees C and have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
