Popis: Full details on the preparation and characterization of the ..cap alpha..-ethoxy-..beta..-methoxyethylidene Fp 5, on its irreversible isomerization to the eta/sup 2/-1,2-methoxyethoxyethylene Fp salt 6, and on its reduction to the ..cap alpha..-ethoxy-..beta..-methoxyethyl Fp 17 are presented. Other examples of cis-1,2-dialkoxyethylene Fp salts also are synthesized. The dimethoxy example 11 upon hydrolysis gives the ..cap alpha..-methoxyformylmethyl Fp complex 14, whereas reducing it gives the ..cap alpha..,..beta..-dimethoxyethyl complex 18. Both spectroscopically characterized ..cap alpha..,..beta..-dialkoxyethyl complexes afford eta/sup 2/-vinyl ether Fp compounds 19 (R = CH/sub 3/) and 20 (R = CH/sub 2/CH/sub 3/) upon treating with Ph/sub 3/C/sup +/PF/sub 6//sup -/. ..beta..-Methoxide abstraction from 18 predominates. Hydrolysis of 19 then gives FpCH/sub 2/CHO 15, which after treating with acid and iodide yields acetaldehyde. The ..cap alpha..-methoxyformylmethyl 14, in turn, gives methoxyacetaldehyde. Thus, coordinated ligand reactions are presented that use the methoxyacetyl ligand on FpCOCH/sub 2/OCH/sub 3/ (4) as a C/sub 2/ template in selectively incorporating both of these skeletal carbon centers into either acetaldehyde or methoxyacetaldehyde.
