2-(4-Ferrocenylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane
In the title compound,, [Fe(C5H5)(C17H20BO2)], the two near parallel cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocene group are eclipsed. The benzene ring is tilted with respect to the attached cyclopentadiene ring by 17.0 (1)° and by 24.2 (1)° with respect to the dioxaborolane ring. The molecules assemble in the crystal via C-H
interactions between the cyclopentadienyl H atoms and the benzene and cyclopentadienyl rings of neighbouring molecules.
To a solution of 4-bromophenyl ferrocene (0.2 g, 0.59 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL)
stirred at -78°C under nitrogen was added dropwise a solution of n-BuLi
2.5M in hexane (0.51 ml, 0.88 mmol).The mixture was then stirred at -78
°C for 20 minutes. Then 2-isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxoborolane
(0.18 ml, 0.88 mmol) was added, the stirring was kept at -78°C for 2 h and the
mixture allowed to warm to -35 C and stir for 1 h and then warmed to room
temperature. The reaction mixture was then poured into water and extracted
with diethyl ether (2 x 25 ml). The combined organic layers were washed
with brine and dried with Na2SO4. The solvent removed under reduced
pressure and purified by column chromatography (SiO2, Hexane/DCM =2/1) to
give the pure compound
2-(4-ferrocenyl-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.052 g,
0.129 mmol, 23%) as an orange solid. FAB-MS (C22H2510BFeO2) 387.13293

Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using the riding
model [C—H 0.93–0.97 Å), with Uiso(H) = 1.2 and 1.5 times
Ueq(C) for aromatic and alkyl groups respectively. In the case of the
methyl groups protons were rotated to fit the H-atom positions to the observed
electron density.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.
planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor
wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional
R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for
negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc.
and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large
as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be
even larger. |

The title compound, (I), was prepared from the reaction of lithiated 4-bromophenylferrocene with 2-isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxoborolane in tetrahydrofuran. Unlike the related tris(4-ferrocenylphenyl)boroxine benzene solvate (Makarov et al. (2004), the 2-(4-ferrocenyl-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane is monomeric (Fig. 1). The two cyclopentadienyl rings are nearly eclipsed, average torsion angle 2.1 (1)°, with a small tilt of the two planes (C1—C5 and C6—C10) of 3.5 (1)°. The distances of the iron atom to the ring centroids were 1.6514 (2)Å and 1.6475 (2) Å respectively. The phenyl ring is tilted by 17.0 (1)° with respect to the (C6—C10) plane. This value is slightly higher than that observed in similar structures (Anderson et al. (2003), Nyamori and Bala (2008)). The dioxaborolane ring is in a half-chair conformation, with an O1—C17—C18—O2 torsion angle of 24.2 (1)°. The BO2 group is rotated away from the plane of the phenyl ring system by 11.1 (2)°, and the angle between the dioxaborolane ring and the phenylplane is 9.9 (1)°. The molecules pack in the crystal, (Fig. 2), with C—H···π interactions between cyclopentadienyl hydrogen atoms and the phenyl and cyclopentadienyl rings of neighbouring molecules, Table 1.
