A General Synthesis for Ditungsten Tetracarboxylates. Preparation of W-W Quadruple Bonds by Reductive-Elimination (Alkyl Group Disproportionation) from 1,2-Diethyl Compounds with W-W Triple Bonds.

Abstract

A general high yield synthesis for W2(O2CR)4 compounds is proposed based on eq. 1, wherein a W-W triple bond is converted to a quadruple bond, and this has been established for R=Me, Et and t-Bu/ W2Et2(NMe2)4 + 4RCOOCR yields W2(O2CR)4 + 4RCO NMe2 + C2H4 + C2H6.
