Synthesis, catalytic activity and the molecular structure of (μ3-CCH3)Co3(CO)7-μ-(Ph2PCH2PPh2)

Reaction of (μ₃-CCH₃)CO₃(CO)₉ (I) with dppm (dppm = bis-(diphenylphosphino)methane) affords the cluster (μ₃-CCH₃)Co₃(CO)₇-dppm (II). The crystal and molecular structure of II have been determined at −160°C. The dppm ligand bridges one of the three metal—metal edges in the equatorial plane to give a five-membered ring, which adopts an envelope conformation.

Cluster II functions as a catalyst for the hydroformylation of 1-pentene (80 bar of H₂/CO (1/1); 110°C). The results indicate that the dppm bridging ligand stabilizes and activates the cluster for catalysis, and open the way to the synthesis of chiral clusters.

Enantioselective organic syntheses using chiral transition metal complexes V. (2S,3S)-Bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane, a rigid (S,S)-CHIRAPHOS analog

The P–Ph cleavage of phenyldibenzophosphole (1) with lithium in THF gives lithium dibenzophospholide (2). Reaction of 2 with ethyleneglycol ditosylate produces the known chelate ligand 1,2-bis(dibenzophospholyl)ethane (3) in good yield. Similarly, 2 and (2R,3R)-butanediol ditosylate give the new chiral chelate ligand (2S,3S)-bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane (4). Ligand exchange of [CpRu(PPh₃)₂Cl] with 3 or 4 yields the halfsandwich complexes [CpRu(C₁₂H₈PC₂H₄PC₁₂H₈)Cl] (5) and [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)Cl] (6). Complex 6 was characterized crystallographically (monoclinic, space group P2₁ (no. 4), a=820.6(4), b=1501.0(3), c=1172.8(6) pm, β=108.87(2)°, V=1.367(1)×10⁹ pm³, Z=2). The most conspicuous feature of the structure of 6 is the perfect coplanarity of the two dibenzophosphole moieties imposed by their steric interaction with the Cp ligand. Complex 6 and the thiophene complex [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)(SC₄H₄)]BF₄ (7) derived therefrom are remarkably unreactive with regard to ligand substitutions. A possible explanation is the lack of intramolecular

–C stabilization en route to the transition state of ligand substitution. The enantiomeric purity of 6 and 7 could nevertheless be demonstrated by conversion to diastereomerically pure [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)((S)-CNCHMePh)]BF₄ (8).

Effect of ligand in ethylene/styrene copolymerization by [Me2Si(C5Me4)(NR)]TiCl2 (R = tert-Bu, cyclohexyl) and (1,3-Me2C5H3)TiCl2(O-2,6-Pr2C6H3)-MAO catalyst system

Copolymerization of ethylene with styrene using linked cyclopentadienyl-amide titanium(IV) complexes, [Me₂Si(C₅Me₄)(R)]TiCl₂ [R=tert-Bu (1), cyclohexyl (2)], and non-bridged (1,3-Me₂C₅H₃)TiCl₂(O-2,6-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) (3)-MAO catalysts have been explored. Although the catalytic activity by 2 was lower than 1, 2 showed more efficient styrene incorporation than 1 under the same conditions. Moreover, the resultant copolymer prepared by 2 possessed completely different microstructure from those by 1, indicating that the nature of amide ligand affects both styrene incorporation and monomer sequence.     

Some new C2-symmetric bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene ligands: synthesis and catalytic activity in rhodium(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4- and 1,2-additions

C₂-Symmetric bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dienes with various substituents (R=Bn, i-Bu, c-Hex, allyl) are prepared starting from the corresponding enantiomerically pure bis-triflate (R=OTf).

Some interesting reactivity and selectivity effects due to the introduction of sterically demanding or olefinic substituents are reported. Moreover, remarkably high catalytic activity is observed for the rhodium(I)-catalyzed 1,2-addition.

A novel,C2-symmetric,chiral bis-cyclosulfinamide-olefin tridentate ligand in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions

A C₂-symmetric, chiral bis-cyclosulfinamide-olefin ligand composed of two 1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzisothiazole moieties with rigid skeletons and a conformationally flexible butenylene chain is disclosed for the first time. HRMS and ¹H NMR analyses verify that the in situ-generated complex of the ligand and [Rh(C₂H₄)₂Cl]₂ possesses a rhodium (I) center coordinated to the tridentate ligand via two sulfinyl moieties and a CdbndC bond. The chiral ligand provided extremely high enantioselectivity (up to >99%ee) in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to cyclohexenone and cyclopentenone. The tridentate ligand gave much higher enantioselectivity than the analogous chiral bidentate ligands.     

Novel Stereoselective Carbonyl Reductase from Kluyveromyces marxianus for Chiral Alcohols Synthesis

A novel nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate（NADPH）-dependent carbonyl reductase from Kluyverornyces marxianus（KmCR） was identified, which can convert various prochiral ketone esters and ketone substrates to their corresponding chiral alcohols. KmCR was over-expressed in E. coli BL21（DE3）, purified to homogeneity, and characterized. The purified enzyme exhibits the highest activity at 40℃ and pH=6.0. Based on the gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel eiectrophoresis（SDS-PAGE） analysis, the monomeric protein was determined to have a molecular weight of approximate 39000. Vmax and Km of KmCR are 4.28 μmol.min^-1·mg^-1 and 0.41 mmol/L for ketone ester substrate ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate（OPBE）, 3.09μmol.min^-1·mg^-1 and 1.21 mmol/L for cofactor NADPH, respectively. Cofactor recycle was achieved by co-expression of KmCR and glucose dehydrogenase（GDH） in E. coli. Recombinant E. coli harboring KmCR and GDH showed moderate asymmetric reduction activity towards various α- and β-ketoesters, diaryl ketone substrates. In an aqueous/butyl acetate biphasic system, the whole-cell biocatalyst was used to prepare ethyl （R）-2-hydroxy-4- phenylbutanoate[（R）-HPBE] in an e.e. of 99.5% with a space-time yield of 433.6 g.L-1.d-1 and a yield of 80.3% at 270 g/L OPBE.     

Übergangsmetall-Carben-Komplexe : CXXXXI. Untersuchungen zum Reaktionsverhalten der Carben-Komplexe cis-(CO)4(SnPh3)Re[C(OEt)NR2] (R = pr, hex) gegenüber Lewis-Säuren

In the reaction of cis-(CO)₄(SnPh₃)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (R = ⁱpr (isopropyl), ^chex (cyclohexyl)) with BI₃ the Lewis acid attacks the triphenylstannyl ligand. Substitution of a phenyl for a iodine group leads to equilibrium mixtures of rhenium carbene complexes of general formula cis-(CO)₄(SnPh_3−χI_χ)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (χ = 1−3; R = ⁱpr, ^chex). By changing the solvent and ratio of can be shifted such that only one major product is formed. Thus this reaction pathway can be used for the preparation of cis-(CO)₄(SnPhI₂)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (R = ⁱpr, ^chex). Even when a large excess of BI₃ is present electrophilic attack by the Lewis acid on the carbene ligand is not observed.

Synthesis of cis-(CO)₄(SnPh_3−χI_χ)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (χ = 1−3; R --- ⁱpr, ^chex) can be achieved in high yield by reaction of cis-(CO)₄(SnPh₃)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (R = ⁱpr, ^chex) with one, two or three equivalents of HI. This reaction, with successive rupture of the tin-carbon bonds in the triphenylstannyl ligand and the simultaneous formation of benzene, affords the desired substitution product irreversibly. Reaction of cis-(CO)₄(SnPh₃)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (R = ⁱpr, ^chex) with I₂ gives the compounds, cis-(CO)₄(SnI₃)Re[C(OEt)NR₂] (R = ⁱpr, ^chex), in relatively low yields.     

Symmetrization of methylmercury(II) and phenylmercury(II) salts induced by the tripodal ligand N(CH2CH2PPh2)3

Both ionic [HgR(DMSO)][CF₃SO₃] (R = Me or Ph) and covalent HgMeI organomercury(II) compounds react with the tripodal ligand N(CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₃ (np₃) to yield as ultimate products Hg(II) complexes, the new five-coordinated [Hg(OSO₂CF₃)(np₃)]⁺ or the known tetrahedral [HgI(np₃)]⁺ and symmetric diorganomercurials respectively. Monitoring of the reactions by ¹H, ³¹P and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy has shown that the mechanistic pathways depend on the nature of the reagents.     

Preparation and study of cyclic polynuclear ferrocenes derived from (C6H5)2PCH2CH2Si(CH3)2C5H4Li as a bridging ligand

The synthesis of the potential bridging ligand (C₆H₅)₂PCH₂CH₂Si(CH₃)₂C₅H₄ (3) is described. The ferrocene (6 derived from 3 has been found to form macrocyclic complexes with metal fragments NiCl₂, NiBr₂, and Co₂(CO)₆. Although monomeric, bimetallic products might have been expected based upon the reduced steric demands of ligand 3 relative to an analogous ligand, (C₆H₅)₂PCH₂Si(CH)₃)₂C₅H₄ (1), it appears that the increased flexibility in 3 is the overriding factor leading to a preference for inter- rather than intramolecular coordination of the second phosphine function in 6.     

The crystal and molecular structure of (---)436-(η-C5H5)Fe(CO)(CH3CO)[Ph2PNHCH(Me)(Ph)]

The X-ray crystal structure and absolute configuration of (−)₄₃₆-(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(CH₃CO)[Ph₂PNHCH(Me)(Ph)] have been determined from single crystal diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a = 10.676(4), b = 8.913(7), c = 13.275(9) Å, and β = 91.36°. The structure was solved by the Patterson method and refined to a final R value of 4.7% using 2299 independent data. The iron atom has distorted octahedral coordination, and the configuration at the iron is found to be (S) for the (−)₄₃₆ diastereoisomer. The Fe---Cp distances average 2.131 Å, with an Fe-(ring centroid)distance of 1.76 Å. The Fe-acetyl distance is virtually identical to that found in another iron/acetyl complex, but shows substantial variation from other compounds where the nature of the C(=O)R group is changed. Comparison to the Mo-alkyl/Mo-acetyl series is made, and the argument for back-donation in transition metal acyls is strengthened.

The orientation of the acetyl group is determined by a strong NHO intra-molecular hydrogen bond having an NO separation of only 2.86 ». The phosphine ligand has a very short Fe---P bond which could be in part caused by the role of the adjacent nitrogen in hydrogen bonding. The remaining ligand geometry is the same as that found in a recently reported ruthenium structure, although the absolute configurations at the chiral carbons are reversed, with the current compound being designated (S) at this site.     

Synthesis of novel chiral N, P-containing multidentate ligands and their applications in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation

Catalytic epoxidation of olefins using MoO3 and TBHP: Effect of the addition of chiral 2-substituted pyridines on the catalytic rate and asymmetric induction

Attempts were made at epoxidising enantioselectively some simple olefins using MoO₃ (0.17 mol%), TBHP and five different chiral non-racemic 2-substituted pyridine ligands. A maximum conversion of 88% using 4-methylstyrene, and a maximum selectivity of ≥98% using 1-methylcyclohexene and 1-phenylcyclohexene were obtained. All ligands screened showed the ability to accelerate the reaction. However, it was ligand 4, that was the quickest to do so and showed the greatest acceleration. The observation of a reaction rate acceleration in the presence of such ligands appeared to indicate the formation of a Mo(VI)oxoperoxy-ligand complex. In no case was asymmetric induction observed.
