Abstract

One CO group of the dimethyldihydrophenanthrene mono-Cr(CO)3 complex (1) was photochemically substituted for CS (2) or P(C6H5)3 (3). Separation of all four possible stereoisomers [(R) m (R) b /(S) m (S) b and (R) m (S) b /(S) m (R) b ] of the complexes1–3 was accomplished by two successive chromatographic steps: Separation of the enantiomers on triacetylcellulose was followed by MPLC at low temperatures to yield both epimers (exo andendo). Their configurational assignment is based on optical comparison of the CD-spectra and on1H-NMR-spectroscopy. The kinetics of the biphenyl flip were followed by CD and NMR. The results revealed that the rotational barriers around the biphenyl bond are hardly altered by the substitution of CO for CS or even P(C6H5)3. Whereasexo andendo-isomers of1 and2 are obtained in appr. equal amounts, in the more crowded complex3 theexo-isomer predominates over theendo-form by 80:20%.

Zusammenfassung

Im 4,5-Dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-tricarbonylchrom-Komplex (1) wurde eine CO-Gruppe photochemisch gegen CS (2) oder P(C6H5)3 (3) ausgetauscht. Die Trennung aller vier möglichen Stereoisomeren [(R) m (R) b /(S) m (S) b und (R) m (S) b /(S) m (R) b ] der Komplexe1–3 erfolgte in zwei chromatographischen Schritten: Zuerst wurden die Enantiomeren an Triacetylcellulose und anschließend die beiden (exo/endo) Epimeren durch Mitteldruckchromatographie bei tiefen Temperaturen getrennt. Die Konfigurationen konnten auf Grund der CD-Spektren und der1H-NMR-Spektren zugeordnet werden; diese Methoden dienten auch zum Studium der Kinetik der Inversion um die Biphenylbindung (exo/endo-Isomerisierung): Die entsprechenden Rotationsbarrieren werden durch den Austausch von CO gegen CS oder selbst gegen P(C6H5)3 kaum geändert. Dieexo- undendo-Isomeren von1 und2 fallen in gleichen Mengen an, während im sterisch gehinderten Komplex3 dieexo-Form zu 80% überwiegt.
