Summary:
The bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) lutetium halide complex ((C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)/sub 2/LuCl/center dot/THF) was synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of this complex shows that the Lu is at the center of a distorted tetrahedron consisting of the centroids of two cyclopentadienyl rings, the oxygen atom of a tetrahydrofuran molecule and a chlorine atom. /sup 1/H NMR studies of toluene-d/sub 8/ solutions of (C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/LuCl(THF) + THF, (TMS/sub 2/CP)/sub 2/LuCl(THF) + THF, and (MeCp)/sub 2/LuCl(THF) + THF at various temperatures showed exchange processes between co- ordinated THF and free THF with average values of ..delta..G/sup ne/ of 13.0 /+-/ 0.3 kcal/mol, 11.1 /+-/ 0.1 kcal/mol and <11 kcal/mol at 0/degree/C, respectively. It has been found that under the influence of a catalytic amount (1--5 mol %) of (TMS/sub 2/Cp)/sub 2/YbCl dimer, silyl enol ethers (R/sub 1/R/sub 2/C = C(OR/sub 3/)OSiMe/sub 3/)) react with benzaldehyde smoothly in dichloromethane at room temperature, giving >99% of the aldol silyl ether (isolated yield: 90%) within 3 h. At /minus/78/degrees/C, the reaction gives kinetically controlled diastereoselectivity, which was not observed in the TiCl/sub 4/-mediated aldol reaction. The use of organoytterbium enolates shows promise result with respect to increased stereoselectivity, and indicates the importance of the bulky ligands on the metal center. In addition, Yb(III) species can retard retroaldol reaction owing to its mild Lewis acidity. 118 refs., 14 figs., 30 tabs.
