Treatment of 6-(dimethylamino)-6-methylfulvene (1) with methyllithium followed by the reaction of the resulting [C5H4−CMe2NMe2]Li reagent with CpZrCl3 gave the complex [(η5-C5H4−CMe2NMe2)CpZrCl2] (2). Its treatment with 2 molar equiv of methyllithium furnished [(η5-C5H4−CMe2NMe2)CpZr(CH3)2] (3). Complex 3 reacted with B(C6F5)3 by methyl group transfer. The in situ [Zr]+−CH3 cation system generated in this manner proved to be unstable under the reaction conditions and instantaneously eliminated methane with formation of 4. In the course of this reaction a N−CH3 hydrogen atom was abstracted. Complex 4 was stabilized by the addition of 1 equiv of the alkyl isocyanide RN⋮C (R = CMe3, n-C4H9, −CMe2CH2CMe3) to yield the respective adducts 5. The complex [(η5:η2(C,N)-C5H4−CMe2N(CH2)CH3)CpZr(κC-C⋮N−CMe3)]+[CH3B(C6F5)3]- (5a) was characterized by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. It exhibits an η2-coordination of the pendant formaldiminium moiety to zirconium (d(Zr−N) = 2.318(7) A, d(Zr−C) = 2.272(7) A). The (η...
