✦ Synopsis


Hydrozirconation of propyne followed by treatment with three molar equivalents of tert-butyl isocyanide to give 16.

Complex 16 contains a five-membered carbocyclic ring, propynyllithium yields the (σ-propenyl)(σ-propynyl)zirconocene complex 11. Its treatment with the organometallic formed by carbon-carbon coupling of the former propenyl and propynyl groups with the CϵN-R reagent, to which a Lewis acid B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 results in transfer of the σ-propynyl group from zirconium to boron followed by insertion of the (η 2 -iminoacyl)(κ-tert-butyl isocyanide)zirconocene moiety is attached. Complex 16 was characterized by an X-ray crystal alkynylborate triple bond into the zirconium carbon bond of the remaining metallaallyl cation to furnish the zirconocene-structure analysis. (µ-hydrocarbyl)borate betaine complex 14. This reacts with
