Abstract
The successive treatment of [Mo(≡CBr)(CO) 2{HB(pzMe 2) 3}] (1; pz = pyrazol-1-yl) with nBuLi and B(OR) 3 (R = Me, iPr) affords, via the lithiocarbyne complex [Mo(≡CLi)(CO) 2{HB(pzMe 2) 3}] (2), the boratocarbynes Li[Mo{≡CB(OMe) 3}(CO) 2{HB(pzMe 2) 3}] (R = Me, Li[3a]; R = iPr, Li[3b]). The salt Li[3b] readily eliminates LiO iPr to afford the neutral boryl carbyne [Mo{≡CB(O iPr) 2}(CO) 2{HB(pzMe 2) 3}] (4b). The analogous boryl carbyne [Mo{≡CB(OMe) 2}(CO) 2{HB(pzMe 2) 3}] (4a) on treatment with K[HF 2] and 18-crown-6 (18C6) provides the structurally characterized difluoro(methoxy)boratocarbyne salt [K(18C6)][Mo(≡CBF 2OMe)(CO) 2{HB(pzMe 2) 3}] ([K(18C6)][6]).
