[η5:σ-Me2C(C5H4)(C2B10H10)]Ru(NCCH3)2与中间炔的反应—— 钌环丁二烯和钌杂环戊三烯配合物的合成与结构

钌可以促使炔烃通过亚乙烯基钌卡宾金属配合物或钌金属杂环配合物的形式发生碳-碳偶联反应, 它的化学性质很大程度上取决于配体的电子和立体特征. 普通环戊二烯基钌配合物可以促使炔烃三聚生成苯环衍生物或使两分子炔烃和一分子含C=X键(X = C, O, S, N等)的不饱和底物发生环加成反应得到杂环化合物. 含桥联碳硼烷–环戊二烯基配体的钌乙腈配合物[η⁵:σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru(NCCH₃)₂ (1)表现出与环戊二烯基钌不同的反应性质. 例如, 配合物1与三甲基硅基取代的端炔或中间炔反应可生成含有单或双亚乙烯基有机钌卡宾配合物; 与末端芳炔则通过三分子炔和桥联配体中的环戊二烯基发生加成反应得到含有独特三环结构的有机钌配合物. 以上结果表明, 配体的位阻效应和炔烃的种类都可以影响产物的类型. 本文进一步研究了此钌乙腈配合物1与烷基或芳基取代的中间炔及中间二炔的反应. 配合物1与3-己炔或二苯乙炔在甲苯中于 80 ℃反应可以生成对空气和水稳定的η⁴-钌-环丁二烯配合物[η⁵: σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru(η⁴-C4Et4) (2) 或 [η⁵:σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru(η4-C₄Ph₄) (3), 此反应相信是通过一个钌杂环戊三烯中间体进行的. 由于这个中间体既不能在反应中被分离到也不能在核磁反应中被监测到, 我们接下来尝试了1和1,6-二炔的反应. 在 1与2,7-壬二炔或3,8-十一碳二炔的反应中成功分离到钌杂环戊三烯配合物[η⁵: σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru[=C₂- (Me)₂C₂(CH₂)₃] (4) 或 [η⁵: σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru[=C₂(Et)₂C₂(CH₂)₃] (5). 化合物4与5 在甲苯回流温度仍然稳定. 由于位阻效应, 它们也不与苯乙炔、3-己炔、苯基异氰酸酯、二硫化碳以及叔丁基异腈反应. 以上新化合物通过了核磁和元素分析表征, 其中化合物2和4的结构得到了单晶X射线衍射确定. 在化合物2的晶体结构中, 钌原子通过η⁵-键与环戊二烯基配位, σ-键与硼笼相连, 以及η⁴-键与环丁二烯配位, 形成一个平面三角形结构. 在化合物4的晶体结构中, 钌原子通过η⁵-键与环戊二烯基配位, σ-键与硼笼相连, 以及与两个碳卡宾原子配位, 形成一个扭曲四面体构型. 钌与碳卡宾原子之间的键长显示其为Ru=C双键. 在以上实验结果基础上我们提出了1与炔烃反应生成2和3的反应机理: 钌-乙腈配合物通过与炔烃的配体交换反应得到钌-二炔配合物, 进一步氧化偶联得到钌杂环戊三烯中间体, 还原消除反应得到最终产物?钌-环丁二烯配合物. 在1与二炔的反应中, 4和5中的并环结构可以阻止还原消除反应, 从而起到稳定钌杂环戊三烯中间体的作用. 上述实验结果表明, 桥联碳硼烷配体和底物(炔烃)的空间位阻效应都对反应有很大的影响.

Reactivity of titanium imidazolin-2-iminato complexes with 2,6-diisopropylaniline and 2-{(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-iminomethyl}pyrrole

Abstract

We report the reactions of imidazolin-2-iminato titanium complexes [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₃] (R = Mes, 2b; R = Dipp, 2c; Mes = mesityl, Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with 2,6-diisopropylaniline in a 1:3 molar ratio to yield the titanium imido complexes of composition [(Im^RNH)Ti = N(^Dipp)(HN^Dipp)₂] (R = Mes, 3b; R = Dipp, 3c) in good yield by the Ti-Niminato bond cleavage at 60 °C. In contrast, the reaction of [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₃] with 2,6-diisopropylaniline in a 1:1 molar ratio afforded mono-substituted products [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₂(HN^Dipp)] (R = Mes, 4b; R = Dipp, 4c) in good yield. The reaction of [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₃] with the iminopyrrole ligand [2-(2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃-N = CH)C₄H₃NH] (N^DippPyH) in a 1:1 ratio afforded mixed ligands, titanium complexes [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₂(N^Dipp-Py)] (R = tBu, 5a; R = Dipp, 5c) with imidazolin-2-iminato and iminopyrrolide ligands. Molecular structures of 3b, 3c, 4c, 5a, and 5c were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The solid-state structures of 3b and 3c clearly indicate the formation of true Ti = N double bonds, measuring 1.730(2) Å and 1.727(1) Å, respectively. The solid-state structures of 5a and 5c reveal the formation of five-coordinate titanium complexes.     

Lithiated γ-O-functionalized propyl phenyl sulfides and sulfones of the type Li[CH(SOxPh)CH2CH2OR] (x = 0, 2). [Li{CH(SPh)CH2CH2Ot-Bu}(tmeda)] – A structurally characterized organolithium inner complex

Lithiation of O-functionalized alkyl phenyl sulfides PhSCH₂CH₂CH₂OR (R = Me, 1a; i-Pr, 1b; t-Bu, 1c; CPh₃, 1d) with n-BuLi/tmeda in n-pentane resulted in the formation of α- and ortho-lithiated compounds [Li{CH(SPh)CH₂CH₂OR}(tmeda)] (α-2a–d) and [Li{o-C₆H₄SCH₂CH₂CH₂OR)(tmeda)] (o-2a–d), respectively, which has been proved by subsequent reaction with n-Bu₃SnCl yielding the requisite stannylated γ-OR-functionalized propyl phenyl sulfides n-Bu₃SnCH(SPh)CH₂CH₂OR (α-3a–d) and n-Bu₃Sn(o-C₆H₄SCH₂CH₂CH₂OR) (o-3a–d). The α/ortho ratios were found to be dependent on the sterical demand of the substituent R. Stannylated alkyl phenyl sulfides α-3a–c were found to react with n-BuLi/tmeda and n-BuLi yielding the pure α-lithiated compounds α-2a–c and [Li{CH(SPh)CH₂CH₂OR}] (α-4a–b), respectively, as white to yellowish powders. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of [Li{CH(SPh)CH₂CH₂Ot-Bu}(tmeda)] (α-2c) exhibited a distorted tetrahedral coordination of lithium having a chelating tmeda ligand and a C,O coordinated organyl ligand. Thus, α-2c is a typical organolithium inner complex.Lithiation of O-functionalized alkyl phenyl sulfones PhSO₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OR (R = Me, 5a; i-Pr, 5b; CPh₃, 5c) with n-BuLi resulted in the exclusive formation of the α-lithiated products Li[CH(SO₂Ph)CH₂CH₂OR] (6a–c) that were found to react with n-Bu₃SnCl yielding the requisite α-stannylated compounds n-Bu₃SnCH(SO₂Ph)CH₂CH₂OR (7a–c). The identities of all lithium and tin compounds have been unambiguously proved by NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn).     

Ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes of P,P and P,O donor diphosphine ligands,Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 and Ph2P(CH2)nP(O)Ph2, n = 2, 3 and their activities in catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions

The polymeric precursor [RuCl₂(CO)₂]_n reacts with the ligands, P∩P (a, b) and P∩O (c, d), in 1:1 M ratio to generate six-coordinate complexes [RuCl₂(CO)₂(?²-P∩P)] (1a, 1b) and [RuCl₂(CO)₂(?²-P∩O)] (1c, 1d), where P∩P: Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂, n = 2(a), 3(b); P∩O: Ph₂P(CH₂)_nP(O)Ph₂, n = 2(c), 3(d). The complexes are characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectrometry, thermal studies, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. 1a–1d are active in catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone and its derivatives to corresponding alcohols with turnover frequency (TOF) of 75–290 h^?1. The complexes exhibit higher yield of hydrogenation products than catalyzed by RuCl₃ itself. Among 1a–1d, the Ru(II) complexes of bidentate phosphine (1a, 1b) show higher efficiency than their monoxide analogs (1c, 1d). However, the recycling experiments with the catalysts for hydrogenation of 4-nitroacetophenone exhibit a different trend in which the catalytic activities of 1a, 1b, and 1d decrease considerably, while 1c shows similar activity during the second run.     

Heterometallic (ZrIII)2—Al hydrides [(Cp2Zr)2(μ-H)](μ-H)2AlX2 (X = Cl or Br): preparative synthesis and reactivity. Molecular structure of [(Cp2Zr)2(μ-Cl)](μ-H)2AlCl2

A procedure was developed for the synthesis of trinuclear cyclic (Zr^III)₂—Al hydrides [(Cp₂Zr)₂(μ-H)](μ-H)₂AlX₂ (X = Cl (1a) or Br (1b)). These complexes were prepared in 60–65% yields by the reaction of Cp₂ZrX₂ with LiAlH₄ in the presence of CoBr₂ and tolane. The structures of complexes 1a and 1b and iodide 1c (X = I) were studied by NMR spectroscopy in solvents of different basicities (toluene, THF, and pyridine). Complex 1a is unsolvated and monomeric in all solvents; complex 1b, in toluene and THF; complex 1c, in toluene only. At room temperature, complex 1a does not catalyze hydrogenation of hex-1-ene and does not react with tolane, but reacts with the latter at high temperature to give bis(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylzirconacyclopentadiene. The reaction of equivalent amounts of complex 1a and HCl produces the [(Cp₂Zr)₂(μ-Cl)](μ-H)₂AlCl₂ complex. The structure of the latter was established by X-ray diffraction.

Convenient syntheses of fluorous phenols of the formula HOC6H5−n((CH2)3(CF2)7CF3)n (n=1, 2) and the corresponding triarylphosphites

The aldehydic benzyl ethers PhCH₂OC₆H₄CHO (2; a/b = para/meta series) are readily available from the corresponding phenols and react with Wittig reagents derived from [Ph₃PCH₂CH₂R_f8]⁺I⁻ (R_f8=(CF₂)₇CF₃) to give PhCH₂OC₆H₄CHCHCH₂R_f8 (86-93%, Z major). Reactions with H₂ over Pd/C give the fluorous phenols HOC₆H₄(CH₂)₃R_f8(4a,b; 87-91%). Condensations with PCl₃ and NEt₃ (3.0:1.0:3.3 mol ratio) give the fluorous phosphites P[OC₆H₄(CH₂)₃R_f8]₃(5a,b; 92-94%), but traces of 4a,b are difficult to remove. The phthalate-based benzyl ethers PhCH₂OC₆H₃(COOR)₂ (7; ,5/3,4 OC₆H₃-3,n-(R)₂ series) are easily accessed and reduced with LiAlH₄ to the diols PhCH₂OC₆H₃(CH₂OH)₂(8c,d; 89-90%). Diol 8c and the Dess-Martin periodinane react to give the dialdehyde PhCH₂OC₆H₃(CHO)₂ (9c; 95%). This is elaborated by a sequence analogous to 2→4→5 to the fluorous phenol HOC₆H₃((CH₂)₃R_f8)₂ (11c; 97%/96%, two steps) and phosphite P[OC₆H₃((CH₂)₃R_f8)₂]₃ (12c, 92%), from which traces of 11c are difficult to remove. Diol 8d can be similarly elaborated to 11d, but the dialdehyde 9d is labile and the combined yield of the Dess-Martin/Wittig steps is 32%. The CF₃C₆F₁₁/toluene partition coefficients of 11c,d, and 12c (two pony tails; 70:30, 72:28, 92:8) are much higher than those of 4a and b (one pony tail; 12:88, 14:86).     

Two New Octahedral Cd(II) Complexes [Cd(L)2] and {[Cd(LH)2(SCN)2]H2O} [L = C6H5C(OH)NN = C(CH3)C5H4N]: Synthesis and Structural Studies

Two new octahedral Cd(II) complexes [Cd(L)₂] (1) and {[Cd(LH)₂(SCN)₂]H₂O} (2) [where LH = C₁₄H₁₃N₃O] are synthesized using a tridentate hydrazone ligand (LH) and they are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, NMR spectra, thermal studies and finally the structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 22.565(6) ?, b = 10.252(3) ?, c = 12.187(4) ?, β = 118.851(2)^∘, and Z = 4. Complex 2 also crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c with a = 9.257(9)?, b = 17.809(2)?, c = 9.548(9)?, β = 107.439(4)^∘, and Z = 2. In 1 the ligand binds the Cd(II) ion in tridentate fashion, whereas in 2 it acts as a bidentate ligand.
