Fe2(CO)9 and tBuNCHCHNtBu react to form Fe(CO)3(tBuNCHCHNtBu), tBuNCHCHN(tBu)CO and Fe(CO)5 in equimolar amounts. The Fe(CO)3(tBuCHCHNtBu) complex contains the DAB (1,4-diazabutadiene) ligand in the σ,σ-coordination mode, which is in contradiction with the earlier assumption that the DAB ligand is σ, π-coordinated. tBuNCHCHN(tBu)CO can be prepared by reacting DAB with CO in a pressure vessel, using Fe2(CO)9 as a catalyst. Only three catalytic cycles could be obtained using CO pressures ranging from 2.5 to 60 atm. A possible reaction mechanism is discussed. |
