New 6π-tricarbonylchromiumpyrnftne complexes 5c and 5d could be synthesized from 2,6-di-rbutyl- and 2,4,6-tri-f-butylpyridines (3c and 3d) with chromium hexacarbonyl. They are characterized by their 1H and 13C NMR Spectra and their CO-frequencies which are rather similar to those of 6π-tricarbonylchromium-2,4 ,6-triphenyl [1] or 2,4,6-trw-butyl- [2] λ3-phosphorins. When 5d is reacted with lithiumphenyl, the phenyl residue adds to C-4, giving probably compound 7, which by methanolysis and allyl rearrangement of the hydrogen atom from position 4 to position 2 affords tricarbonylchromium-2,6-di-f-butyl-4-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine (8) in 56% yield. The 6π-tricarbonylchromium complexes of 2,4,6-triphenyl- or 2,4,6-tn-t-butyl-λ3-phosphorins react with lithiumorganic compounds by addition only to the phosphorus atom whose reaction with methyliodide lead to tricarbonylchromium-λ5-phosphorin-ylid complexes [2], 5 d is a well crystallized compound, the X-ray analysis of the first 6π-tricarbonylchromium pyridine derivate could be performed [3] and compared with the results of the X-ray analysis of 6π-tricarbonylchromiumx 2,4,6-triphenyl-λ3-phosphorin [4]
