The synthesis of low-valent tungsten (0 and II) complexes bearing chiral bidentate phosphino- oxazoline or bisoxazoline ligands is described. The structures of four of the complexes have been determined by single crystal X-ray analyses. Tungsten(II)-allyl complexes of the type [W(CO)2(PN)(C3H5)Cl] (PN = phosphino-oxazoline) are fluxional in solution, but can be crystallized as single diastereoisomers. The complex [W(CO)3(PN)(CH3CN)], which also crystallizes as a single diastereoisomer, is readily oxidized in solution and solid state, in stark contrast to analogous compounds bearing four carbonyl ligands [W(CO)4(PN)] or [W(CO)4(NN)] (NN = bisoxazoline) which were found to be stable. [W(CO)3(PN)(CH3CN)] functions as a highly enantioselective catalyst in allylic substitution reactions with dimethyl sodiomalonate, whereas complexes of the type [W (CO)2(PN )(Z -C3H4)X)] (Z = H, Ph; X = Cl, Br) failed to yield allylic alkylation products.

Substitution reactions adjacent to sulfonyl groups are known to proceed with difficulty, and there is evidence to suggest that these may not necessarily proceed by an SN2 pathway. The mechanism of these reactions could be studied in principle by using the conversion of α-chloro-β-hydroxysulfones of known configuration into α,β-epoxysulfones of known configuration. This paper describes results in which this has been attempted. However, the stereochemical aspects of the epoxide formation could not be assigned unequivocally because of the intervention of a very facile "retro-aldol" process when the chlorohydrins are subjected to treatment with bases, although the experimental results do suggest that the reaction does proceed in a regular SN2-like manner, with inversion at carbon. The X-ray crystal structures of two highly substituted α,β-epoxysulfones are presented, thus putting the structures, including stereochemistry, of a range of these compounds on firm ground.

In connection with a research program involving the synthesis, structure determination, reactivity and ability to coordinate to metal centres of chiral bisphosphine ligands, we have synthesized and structurally characterized, by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, the title compound {systematic name: (S,S)-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[(2-methylphenyl)phenylphosphane], abbreviated aso-tolyl-DiPAMP}, C28H28P2. So far, neither the free bisphosphine (DiPAMP) nor analogues that incorporate the ethylenebisphosphine frame have had their crystal structures reported. The investigated compound forms crystals which are isostructural with the bisphosphine dioxide analogue [Kinget al.(2007).Acta Cryst.E63, o3278], despite the involvement of the dioxide in C—H...O(=P) hydrogen bonds and the lack of similar hydrogen bonds in the investigated crystal structure. In both molecules, the P—C—C—P chain is in atransconformation, extended further at both ends by one of the two P—Cipsobonds. The planes of the phenyl ando-tolyl rings attached to the same P atom are nearly perpendicular to one another. Both crystal structures are mainly stabilized by dispersive interactions.
