Abstract

2-Phenyl-1-methylenecyclopropane is isomerized into 2-phenyl-1,3-butadiene and 1-phenyl-1,3-butadiene in the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(CO)(PPh₃)₃ and RhH(PPh₃)₄. The Rh-containing product of the reactions has a 2-phenyl-1-methylallyl (or 1-phenyl-1-methylallyl) ligand, and is formed also from the reaction of 2-phenyl-1,3-butadiene with RhH(CO)(PPh₃)₃. RhH(CO)(PPh₃)₃ promotes ring-opening isomerization of 4-phenyl-1-methylenespiro[2,2]pentane to afford Rh[η³-anti- CH₂C{C(CH₂)Ph}CHCH₃](PPh₃) ₂ (2) at 50 °C and Rh{κ¹,η²- CH₂CH(Ph)C(CH₂)CHCH₂}(CO)(PPh₃) ₂ (3) at -35°C. X-ray crystallography of 2 shows the π-allylic ligand having a methyl group at anti position. The mechanism for formation of 2 via intermediate 3 is discussed.
