Investigations of the syntheses, structural characterization, and relative stabilities of the cyclopentadienyl, amidinate Zr cycloalkylmethyl complexes, (CPAM)Zr(X)[CH2(cyclo-CmH2m-1)] (CPAM = (η5-C5Me5)[(N,N′)-κ2-N(Et)-C(Me)N(t-Bu)]) for X = Cl and m = 3 (1a), 4 (1b) and 5 (1c) and for X = Me, and m = 4 (2b), and of the corresponding isomeric ω-alkenyl complexes, (CPAM)Zr(Cl)[CH2(CH2)nCH2CH = CH2] for n = 0 (3a), 1 (3b) and 2 (3c), have been conducted. Hydrozirconation of methylenecyclopropane by (CPAM)Zr(X)Cl (X = H or D) (8), which is generated in situ through hydrogenolysis of the Zr-Si bond of (CPAM)Zr(SiMe2Ph)Cl (7), provided a high yield of3adue to rapid isomerization of transiently generated1a. In contrast, crystalline1bcould be isolated in high yield via hydrozirconation of methylenecyclobutane by8, and it has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Thermolysis of1bin solution provided a quantitative yield of3b, while quantitative production of1cwas achieved through intramolecular cyclization of3cby reversible chloride abstraction that was catalyzed by addition of the ion pair, {(CPAM)Zr(Me)}{B(C6F5)4}10. The cyclobutylmethyl complex2bwas also prepared from1bthrough traditional methylation using MeLi, and it too was structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. In solution,2bthermally decomposes at 25 °C to an intractable mixture. Finally, reaction of2bwith a stoichiometric amount of the borateB1provided the corresponding ion pair complex, {(CPAM)Zr[CH2CH2CH2CH = CH2]}{B(C6F5)4} (9) in which the terminal alkenyl group is intramolecularly coordinated to the transition metal center as determined by1H NMR spectroscopy. The results of a DFT (B3LYP / LANL2DZ (Zr) / 6-31G**) computational investigation for the1bto3bisomerization and for the structure of9are also included.
