Summary
N, N-Dimethyl-3-furancarbothioamide (Hbft) was cyclometallated with Li2PdCl4, K2PtCl4, RuCl2(CO)3, and RhCl (PBu3)2 (PBu3=tri-n-butylphosphine) to give, respectively, PdCl(bft), PtCl(bft), RuCl(bft)(CO)2, and RhCl2 (bft)(PBu3)2. These and some of their derivatives were characterized spectroscopically. Cyclometallation occurs regioselectively at position 2 of the furan ring to give a five-membered metallaheterocycle, along with Secoordination of the thioamide group. When the position 2 of the furan ring is blocked by a methyl group,N, N-dimethyl-2-methyl-3-furancarbothioamide (Hmft) is, in similar conditions, cyclopalladated at the N−Me substituout of the thioamide group, the furan ring being left intact. Position 4 of the furan ring of both Hbft and Hmft is unreactive toward cyclometallation.
