Synthesis,structure, and reactivity of some N-phosphorylphosphoranimines

A large series of new N-phosphorylphosphoranimines that bear potentially reactive functional groups on both phosphorus centers were prepared by silicon-nitrogen bond cleavage reactions of N-silylphosphoranimines. Thus, treatment of the N-silylphosphoranimines, Me(3)SiN=P(Me)(R)X (R = Me, Ph; X = OCH(2)CF(3) and R = Me, X = OPh), with phosphoryl chlorides, RP(=O)Cl(2) (R' = Cl, Me, Ph), readily afforded the corresponding N-phosphoryl derivatives, R'P(=O)(Cl)-N=P(Me)(R)X, in high yields. Subsequent reaction with 1 or 2 equiv of the silylamine, Me(3)SiNMe(2), resulted in ligand exchange at the phosphoryl (P=O) group to give the P-dimethylamino analogues, R'P(=O)(NMe(2))N=P(Me)(R)X (R' = Cl, NMe(2), Me, Ph; R = Me, Ph; X = OCH(2)CF(3), OPh). These new N-phosphorylphosphoranimines (and one thiophosphoryl analogue) were obtained as thermally stable, distillable liquids and were characterized by NMR ((1)H, (13)C, and (31)P) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. One member of the series, Cl(2)P(=O)N=P(Me)(Ph)OCH(2)CF(3) (4), was also studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction which revealed that the formal P(O)-N single bond [1.55(1) A] is shorter than the formal N=PR(2)X double bond [1.60(1) A]. Such structural features are compared to those of similar compounds and discussed in relationship to the unexpected thermolysis pathways observed for these N-phosphorylphosphoranimines, none of which produced poly(phosphazenes).     

Synthesis and reactivity of Ir(I) and Ir(III) complexes with MeNH2, Me2C=NR (R = H, Me), C,N-C6H4{C(Me)=N(Me)}-2, and N,N'-RN=C(Me)CH2C(Me2)NHR (R = H, Me) ligands

Complexes [Ir(Cp*)Cl(n)(NH2Me)(3-n)]X(m) (n = 2, m = 0 (1), n = 1, m = 1, X = Cl (2a), n = 0, m = 2, X = OTf (3)) are obtained by reacting [Ir(Cp*)Cl(mu-Cl)]2 with MeNH2 (1:2 or 1:8) or with [Ag(NH2Me)2]OTf (1:4), respectively. Complex 2b (n = 1, m = 1, X = ClO 4) is obtained from 2a and NaClO4 x H2O. The reaction of 3 with MeC(O)Ph at 80 degrees C gives [Ir(Cp*){C,N-C6H4{C(Me)=N(Me)}-2}(NH2Me)]OTf (4), which in turn reacts with RNC to give [Ir(Cp*){C,N-C6H4{C(Me)=N(Me)}-2}(CNR)]OTf (R = (t)Bu (5), Xy (6)). [Ir(mu-Cl)(COD)]2 reacts with [Ag{N(R)=CMe2}2]X (1:2) to give [Ir{N(R)=CMe2}2(COD)]X (R = H, X = ClO4 (7); R = Me, X = OTf (8)). Complexes [Ir(CO)2(NH=CMe2)2]ClO4 (9) and [IrCl{N(R)=CMe2}(COD)] (R = H (10), Me (11)) are obtained from the appropriate [Ir{N(R)=CMe2}2(COD)]X and CO or Me4NCl, respectively. [Ir(Cp*)Cl(mu-Cl)]2 reacts with [Au(NH=CMe2)(PPh3)]ClO4 (1:2) to give [Ir(Cp*)(mu-Cl)(NH=CMe2)]2(ClO4)2 (12) which in turn reacts with PPh 3 or Me4NCl (1:2) to give [Ir(Cp*)Cl(NH=CMe2)(PPh3)]ClO4 (13) or [Ir(Cp*)Cl2(NH=CMe2)] (14), respectively. Complex 14 hydrolyzes in a CH2Cl2/Et2O solution to give [Ir(Cp*)Cl2(NH3)] (15). The reaction of [Ir(Cp*)Cl(mu-Cl)]2 with [Ag(NH=CMe2)2]ClO4 (1:4) gives [Ir(Cp*)(NH=CMe2)3](ClO4)2 (16a), which reacts with PPNCl (PPN = Ph3=P=N=PPh3) under different reaction conditions to give [Ir(Cp*)(NH=CMe2)3]XY (X = Cl, Y = ClO4 (16b); X = Y = Cl (16c)). Equimolar amounts of 14 and 16a react to give [Ir(Cp*)Cl(NH=CMe2)2]ClO4 (17), which in turn reacts with PPNCl to give [Ir(Cp*)Cl(H-imam)]Cl (R-imam = N,N'-N(R)=C(Me)CH2C(Me)2NHR (18a)]. Complexes [Ir(Cp*)Cl(R-imam)]ClO4 (R = H (18b), Me (19)) are obtained from 18a and AgClO4 or by refluxing 2b in acetone for 7 h, respectively. They react with AgClO4 and the appropriate neutral ligand or with [Ag(NH=CMe2)2]ClO4 to give [Ir(Cp*)(R-imam)L](ClO4)2 (R = H, L = (t)BuNC (20), XyNC (21); R = Me, L = MeCN (22)) or [Ir(Cp*)(H-imam)(NH=CMe2)](ClO4)2 (23a), respectively. The later reacts with PPNCl to give [Ir(Cp*)(H-imam)(NH=CMe2)]Cl(ClO4) (23b). The reaction of 22 with XyNC gives [Ir(Cp*)(Me-imam)(CNXy)](ClO4)2 (24). The structures of complexes 15, 16c and 18b have been solved by X-ray diffraction methods.

Assembly of Carbohydrates on a Nickel(II) Center by Utilizing N-Glycosidic Bond Formation with Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren). Syntheses and Characterization of [Ni{N-(aldosyl)-tren}(H(2)O)](2+), [Ni{N,N'-bis(aldosyl)-tren}](2+) and [Ni{N,N',N"-tris(aldosyl)-tren}](2+)

Reactions of [Ni(tren)(H(2)O)(2)]X(2) (tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine; X = Cl (1a), Br (1b); X(2) = SO(4) (1c)) with mannose-type aldoses, having a 2,3-cis configuration (D-mannose and L-rhamnose), afforded {bis(N-aldosyl-2-aminoethyl)(2-aminoethyl)amine}nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(N,N'-(aldosyl)(2)-tren)]X(2) (aldosyl = D-mannosyl, X = Cl (2a), Br (2b), X(2) = SO(4) (2c); aldosyl = L-rhamnosyl, X(2) = SO(4) (3c)). The structure of 1c was confirmed by X-ray crystallography to be a mononuclear [Ni(II)N(4)O(2)] complex with the tren acting as a tetradentate ligand (1c.2H(2)O: orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 15.988(2) ?, b = 18.826(4) ?, c = 10.359(4) ?, V = 3118 ?(3), Z = 8, R = 0.047, and R(w) = 0.042). Complexes 2a,c and 3c were characterized by X-ray analyses to have a mononuclear octahedral Ni(II) structure ligated by a hexadentate N-glycoside ligand, bis(N-aldosyl-2-aminoethyl)(2-aminoethyl)amine (2a.CH(3)OH: orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 16.005(3) ?, b = 20.095(4) ?, c = 8.361(1) ?, V = 2689 ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.040, and R(w) = 0.027. 2c.3CH(3)OH: orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 14.93(2) ?, b = 21.823(8) ?, c = 9.746(2) ?, V = 3176 ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.075, and R(w) = 0.080. 3c.3CH(3)OH: orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 14.560(4) ?, b = 21.694(5) ?, c = 9.786(2) ?, V = 3091 ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.072, and R(w) = 0.079). The sugar part of the complex involves novel intramolecular sugar-sugar hydrogen bondings around the metal center. The similar reaction with D-glucose, D-glucosamine, and D-galactosamine, having a 2,3-trans configuration, resulted in the formation of a mono(sugar) complex, [Ni(N-(aldosyl)-tren)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2) (aldosyl = D-glucosyl (4b), 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucosyl (5a), and 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-galactosyl (5b)), instead of a bis(sugar) complex. The hydrogen bondings between the sugar moieties as observed in 2 and 3 should be responsible for the assembly of two sugar molecules on the metal center. Reactions of tris(N-aldosyl-2-aminoethyl)amine with nickel(II) salts gave the tris(sugar) complexes, [Ni(N,N',N"-(aldosyl)(3)-tren)]X(2) (aldosyl = D-mannosyl, X = Cl (6a), Br (6b); L-rhamnosyl, X = Cl (7a), Br (7b); D-glucosyl, X = Cl (9); maltosyl, X = Br (10); and melibiosyl, X = Br (11)), which were assumed to have a shuttle-type C(3) symmetrical structure with Delta helical configuration for D-type aldoses on the basis of circular dichroism and (13)C NMR spectra. When tris(N-rhamnosyl)-tren was reacted with NiSO(4).6H(2)O at low temperature, a labile neutral complex, [Ni(N,N',N"-(L-rhamnosyl)(3)-tren)(SO(4))] (8), was successfully isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography, in which three sugar moieties are anchored only at the N atom of the C-1 position (8.3CH(3)OH.H(2)O: orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 16.035(4) ?, b = 16.670(7) ?, c = 15.38(1) ?, V = 4111 ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.084, and R(w) = 0.068). Complex 8 could be regarded as an intermediate species toward the C(3) symmetrical tris(sugar) complexes 7, and in fact, it was readily transformed to 7b by an action of BaBr(2).     

Dichloro and alkylchloro gallium derivatives of dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate ligands: isolation of a spirogallium cation

Dichloro and chloromethyl Ga(III) complexes of general formulae [XClGa-eta2-{R2P(E)NP(E'R'2-E,E'}](X = Cl, R, R'= Ph, E, E'= O (1), S (2), Se (3); R = Ph, R'= OEt, E = O, E'= S (4); R = Me, R'= Ph, E, E'= S (5) and X = Me, E, E'= O (6), S (7), Se (8)) were synthesised by either metathesis reactions between GaCl3 and the potassium salt of the ligand (X = Cl) or by methane eliminations from in situ prepared GaMe2Cl and the protonated ligands LH (X = Me). Redistribution reaction of (3) in either CDCl3 or THF afforded the solvent-free tetracoordinate gallium spirocycle cation [Ga-{eta2-{Ph2P(Se)NP(Se)Ph2-Se,Se'})2]+ (9+). The molecular structures of complexes 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9(+) show non-planar gallacycle rings.     

Silver complexes of cyclic hexachlorotriphosphazene

The first solid-state structures of complexed P3N3X6 (X = halogen) are reported for X = Cl. The compounds were obtained from P3N3Cl6 and Ag[Al(OR)4] salts in CH2Cl2/CS2 solution. The very weakly coordinating anion with R = C(CF3)3 led to the salt Ag(P3N3Cl6)2+[Al(OR)4]- (1), but the more strongly coordinating anion with R' = C(CH3)(CF3)2 gave the molecular adduct (P3N3Cl6)AgAl(OR')4 (3). Crystals of [Ag(CH2Cl2)(P3N3Cl6)2]+[Al(OR)4]- (2), in which Ag+ is coordinated by two phosphazene and one CH2Cl2 ligands, were isolated from CH2Cl2 solution. The three compounds were characterized by their X-ray structures, and 1 and 3 also by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy. Solution and solid-state 31P NMR investigations in combination with quantum chemically calculated chemical shifts show that the 31P NMR shifts of free and silver-coordinated P3N3Cl6 differ by less than 3 ppm and indicate a very weakly bound P3N3Cl6 ligand in 1. The experimental silver ion affinity (SIA) of the phosphazene ligand was derived from the solid-state structure of 3. The SIA shows that (PNCl2)3 is only a slightly stronger Lewis base than P4 and CH2Cl2, while other ligands such as S8, P4S3, toluene, and 1,2-Cl2C2H4 are far stronger ligands towards the silver cation. The energetics of the complexes were assessed with inclusion of entropic, thermal, and solvation contributions (MP2/TZVPP, COSMO). The formation of the cations in 1, 2, and 3 was calculated to be exergonic by delta(r)G(degrees)(CH2Cl2) = -97, -107, and -27 kJ mol(-1), respectively. All prepared complexes are thermally stable; formation of P3N3Cl5+ and AgCl was not observed, even at 60 degrees C in an ultrasonic bath. Therefore, the formation of P3N3Cl5+ was investigated by quantum chemical calculations. Other possible reaction pathways that could lead to the successful preparation of P3N3X5+ salts were defined.

The crucial role of the diphosphine heteroatom X in the stereochemistry and stabilization of the substitution-inert [M(N)(PXP)]2+ metal fragments (M = Tc, Re; PXP = diphosphine ligand)

The nature of the heteroatom X incorporated in the five-membered PXP-diphosphine bridging chain was found to play a primary unit role both in the overall stability and in the stereochemical arrangement of nitrido-containing [M(N)(PXP)](2+) metal fragments (M = Tc, Re). Thus, by mixing PXP ligands with labile [Re(N)Cl(4)](-) and Tc(N)Cl(2)(PPh(3))(2) nitrido precursors in CH(2)Cl(2)/MeOH mixtures, a series of neutral M(N)Cl(2)(PXP) complexes (M = Tc, 1-5; M = Re, 8, 9) was collected. In the resulting distorted octahedrons, PXP adopted facial or meridional coordination, and combination with halide co-ligands produced three different stereochemical arrangements, that is, fac,cis, mer,cis, and mer,trans, depending primarily on the nature of the diphosphine heteroatom X. When X = NH, mer,cis-Tc(N)Cl(2)(PNP1), 1, was the only isomer formed. Alternatively, when a tertiary amine nitrogen (X = NR; R = CH(3), CH(2)CH(2)OCH(3)) was introduced in the bridging chain, fac,cis-M(N)Cl(2)(PN(R)P) complexes (M = Tc, 2, 3; M = Re, 8f) were obtained. Isomerization into the mer,cis-Re(N)Cl(2)(PN(R)P), 8m, species was observed only in the case of rhenium when the tertiary amine group carried the less encumbering methyl substituent. fac,cis-Tc(N)Cl(2)(PSP), 4f, was isolated in the solid state when X = S, but a mixture of fac,cis-Tc(N)Cl(2)(PSP) and mer,trans-Tc(N)Cl(2)(PSP), 4m, isomers was found in equilibrium in the solution state. A similar equilibrium between fac,cis-M(N)Cl(2)(POP) (M = Tc, 5f; M = Re, 9f) and mer,trans-M(N)Cl(2)(POP) (M = Tc, 5m; M = Re, 9m) species was detected in POP-containing complexes. The molecular structure of all of these complexes was assessed by means of conventional physicochemical techniques including multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of representative mer,cis-Tc(N)Cl(2)(PN(H)P), 1, fac,cis-Tc(N)Cl(2)(PSP), 4f, and mer,cis-Re(N)Cl(2)(PN(Me)P), 8m, compounds.     

Diverse modes of reactivity of dialkyl azodicarboxylates with P(III) compounds: synthesis, structure, and reactivity of products other than the Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen intermediate in a Mitsunobu-type reaction

The reactivity of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD)/diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) with P(III) compounds bearing oxygen or nitrogen substituents is explored. Compounds with structures quite different from that of Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen intermediate R'(3)P(+)N(CO(2)R)N(-)(CO(2)R) (1), observed in the Mitsunobu reaction, have been established by using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Thus reactions with X(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P-NH-t-Bu [X = S (8), CH(2) (9)] or XP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P-NH-t-Bu [X = Cl (14) or NH-t-Bu (15)] and DEAD/DIAD lead to phosphinimine-carbamate-type of products X[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O](2)P[N-t-Bu][N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [X = S, R = Et (16); X = CH(2), R = Et (17); X = CH(2), R = i-Pr (18)] or XP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(N-t-Bu)[N-(CO(2)-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO(2)-i-Pr) [X = Cl (19), NH-t-Bu (20)]. Treatment of 19 with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol afforded the product [(CF(3)CH(2)O)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)(NH-t-Bu)[N(CO(2)-i-Pr)(HNCO(2)-i-Pr)]][Cl(-)] (21) whose structure is close to one of the intermediates proposed in the Mitsunobu reaction. The isocyanate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P-NCO (10) underwent 1,3-(P,C) cycloaddition with DEAD/DIAD to lead to CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P[N(CO(2)R)N(CO(2)R)-C(O)-N] [R = Et (22), i-Pr (23)]. Reaction of 22-23 with 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol or catechol leads to novel tetracoordinate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(2,2'-OC(10)H(6)-C(10)H(6)-OH)[NC(O)-(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [R = Et (24), i-Pr (25)] or pentacoordinate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(1,2-O(2)C(6)H(4))[NHC(O)-N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [R = Et (26), i-Pr (27)] compounds in which the original NCO residue is retained; this mode of reactivity is quite different from that observed for the MBH betaine 1. In 27, the nitrogen, rather than the oxygen, occupies an apical position of the trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus violating the commonly assumed preference rules for apicophilicity. It is shown that the previously reported azide derivative 3, obtained from the reaction of 11 with DIAD, undergoes a Curtius-type rearrangement to lead to the fused cyclodiphosphazane [(CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2))P(OC(O-i-Pr)NN(CO(2)-i-Pr)N)](2) (28); this compound is in equilibrium with its monomeric form in solution at >300 K. Finally, reaction of S(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(OPh) (13) with DIAD gave the hexacoordinate compound S[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O](2)P(OPh)[N(CO(2)-i-Pr)NC(O-i-Pr)O] (30) with an intramolecular S-->P bond. X-ray crystallographic evidence for compounds 16, 19, 21, 22, 25, 27, 28, and 30 has been provided.     

The Synthesis and Characterization of Cycloalkoxy-Linear Phosphazenes

The reactions of N -dichlorophosphoryl- P -trichlorophosphazene, Cl 3 P=N--P(O)Cl 2 with the sodium salts of cyclopentanol, cyclohexanol, 4-methylcyclohexanol, 3-methylcyclohexanol, 3-methylcyclopentanol are discussed. Pentacycloalkoxy-substituted phosphazenes were obtained from cyclopentanol, 4-methylcyclohexanol, 3-methylcyclohexanol, 3-methylcyclopentanol. Tetrasubstituted derivative also was obtained from cyclohexanol at the same conditions. The structure of products was defined by IR, 1 H, 13 C, 31 P NMR, and mass spectroscopy.     

Zinc(II)/ketoxime system as a simple and efficient catalyst for hydrolysis of organonitriles

The hydrolysis of sterically hindered and unhindered alkyl nitriles, and also of benzyl and phenyl nitriles RCN (R = Me, CH(2)Cl, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, t-Bu, p-MeOC(6)H(4)CH(2), Ph), to carboxamides is catalyzed by a novel system of superior simplicity consisting of cheap, widely commercially available, and rather environmentally friendly compounds, that is, a ZnX(2)/ketoxime combination, but it does not proceed at all with either the zinc salt or the ketoxime taken alone. The nature of the anion X(-) in the zinc salt (X = NO(3), Cl, CF(3)SO(3)) or of the ketoxime (Me(2)C=NOH, C(4)H(8)C=NOH, C(5)H(10)C=NOH) does not affect strongly the catalytic properties of the system, but the best results were obtained so far with a Zn(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O/2-propanone oxime molar ratio of 1:4; turnover numbers are typically above ca. 100 but reach as high as 1000 for p-MeOC(6)H(4)CH(2)C(=O)NH(2). The previously unknown structures of the two carboxamide products n-BuC(=O)NH(2) and p-MeOC(6)H(4)CH(2)C(=O)NH(2) were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes [ZnX(2)(R(2)C=NOH)(2)] (X = Cl, R(2) = 2Me, C(4)H(8), C(5)H(10); X = NO(3), R = C(4)H(8)), prepared by heating the appropriate zinc salts with 2 equiv of the ketoxime in acetone and characterized by C, H, N analyses, FAB-MS, (1)H and (13)C[(1)H] NMR spectroscopies, and also X-ray crystallography (for X = Cl, R(2) = 2Me; X = NO(3), R = C(4)H(8)), proved to be catalyst precursors in the conversions because the activity of these species is high only in the presence of 2 equiv of the ketoxime.     

Generalized anomeric effect on N-alkyl-amino cation affinities: a G2(+)M investigation

The gas-phase N-alkyl-amino-cation affinities (NAACA) of archetypal anionic main-group element hydrides across the Periodic Table have been investigated by means of a modified G2(+) scheme. The reactions studied include R(2)NB → R(2)N(+) + B(-) (R = H, Me; B = XH(n), n = 0-3; X = F, Cl, Br, O, S, Se, N, P, As, C, Si, Ge). Our calculations indicate that the reasonable linear correlations between NAACA and proton affinities (PA) only exist within the Period 2 anions, including H(3)C(-), H(2)N(-), HO(-), and F(-), or the anions within Periods 3-4 in the Periodic Table, which is significantly different from the alkyl cation affinities, where there is a reasonable correlation between the computed alkyl cation affinity and PA values of the set of anionic main-group element hydrides. The interesting differences can be ascribed to the generalized anomeric effect induced by n(N) → σ*(X-H) negative hyperconjugation found in R(2)NXH(n), with central atom X belonging to Groups 14-16 (X = O, S, Se, N, P, As, C, Si, Ge).     

The Reaction of the Bis-spirocyclic Phosphazene [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 Cl 2 ] (O 2 C 12 H 8 = 2,2′-Dioxybiphenyl) with Thiophenols,in the Presence of Alkali Carbonates

The reactions of the spirocyclic phosphazene [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 Cl 2 ] (O 2 C 12 H 8 = 2,2'-dioxybiphenyl) with the thiophenols HS--C 6 H 4 --R and M 2 CO 3 (M = K or Cs) in refluxing acetone gave respectively the spirocyclic substituted derivatives [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (SC 6 H 4 --R) 2 ] R = H ( 2a ), Br ( 2b ), OMe ( 2c ), NO 2 ( 2d ). The reaction is a two-step process the second of which is much faster than the first and the monosubstituted intermediate [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (SC 6 H 4 --R)Cl] cannot be detected. By contrast, in the analogous reactions with the phenols HO--C 6 H 4 --R and M 2 CO 3 (M = K or Cs) in acetone or THF, to give the known derivatives [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (OC 6 H 4 --R) 2 ], the first step is faster although both are very dependent on R, M and the solvent. Thus, in the case of the phenol HO--C 6 H 4 --OMe the reaction conditions could be adjusted to give the useful synthetic intermediate monosubstituted derivative [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (OC 6 H 4 --OMe)Cl] ( 3 ). The reaction of [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 Cl 2 ] with the bifunctional reagent mercaptophenol HS--C 6 H 4 --OH was not specific and led to mixtures of cyclic and oligomeric products.     

Synthesis,Complexes and Metal Extraction Ability of R1R2NC(X)NHP(Y)(0Ph)2

Abstract

The new 1,1-disubstituted 3-diphenoxy(thio)phosphoryl-(thio)ureas, R¹R²NC(X)NHP(0Ph)₂, HA, with X,Y = O,S, were synthesized by addition of secondary mines to the corresponding P-iso(thio)cyanates. This reaction is reversible if X,Y = S. (PhO)₂P(Y)Cl reacts with H₂NC(X)NR₂ in the presence of an HCl acceptor only if X,Y a 0. Side reactions are observed. Phosphorylated derivatives of biuret were isolated from such a reaction mixture.     

Ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(IV) complexes containing kappa1-P-, kappa2-P,O-, and kappa3-P,N,O-iminophosphorane-phosphine ligands Ph2PCH2P[=NP(=O)(OR)2]Ph2 (R = Et,Ph): synthesis,reactivity, theoretical studies,and catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanone

[(Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)(mu-Cl)Cl)(2)] and [(Ru(eta(3):eta(3)-C(10)H(16))(mu-Cl)Cl)(2)] react with Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2) (R = Et (1a), Ph (1b)) affording complexes [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl(2)(kappa(1)-P-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2))] (R = Et (2a), Ph (2b)) and [Ru(eta(3):eta(3)-C(10)H(16))Cl(2)(kappa(1)-P-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2))] (R = Et (6a), Ph (6b)). While treatment of 2a with 1 equiv of AgSbF(6) yields a mixture of [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl(kappa(2)-P,O-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OEt)(2)]Ph(2))][SbF(6)] (3a) and [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl(kappa(2)-P,N-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OEt)(2)]Ph(2))][SbF(6)] (4a), [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl(kappa(2)-P,O-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OPh)(2)]Ph(2))][SbF(6)] (3b) and [Ru(eta(3):eta(3)-C(10)H(16))Cl(kappa(2)-P,O-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2))][SbF(6)] (R = Et (7a), Ph (7b)) are selectively formed from 2b and 6a,b. Complexes [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)(kappa(3)-P,N,O-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2))][SbF(6)](2) (R = Et (5a), Ph (5b)) and [Ru(eta(3):eta(3)-C(10)H(16))(kappa(3)-P,N,O-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2))][SbF(6)](2) (R = Et (8a), Ph (8b)) have been prepared using 2 equiv of AgSbF(6). The reactivity of 3-5a,b has been explored allowing the synthesis of [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)X(2)(kappa(1)-P-Ph(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OR)(2)]Ph(2))] (R = Et, Ph; X = Br, I, N(3), NCO (9-12a,b)). The catalytic activity of 2-8a,b in transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanone, as well as theoretical calculations on the models [Ru(eta(6)-C(6)H(6))Cl(kappa(2)-P,N-H(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OH)(2)]H(2))]+ and [Ru(eta(6)-C(6)H(6))Cl(kappa(2)-P,O-H(2)PCH(2)P[=NP(=O)(OH)(2)]H(2))]+, has been also studied.     

Regulation of geometry around the ruthenium center of bis(2-pyridinecarboxylato) complexes by the nitrosyl moiety: syntheses, structures, and theoretical studies

cis-[Ru(NO)Cl(pyca)(2)] (pyca = 2-pyridinecarboxylato), in which the two pyridyl nitrogen atoms of the two pyca ligands coordinate at the trans position to each other and the two carboxylic oxygen atoms at the trans position to the nitrosyl ligand and the chloro ligand, respectively (type I shown as in Chart 1), reacted with NaOCH(3) to generate cis-[Ru(NO)(OCH(3))(pyca)(2)] (type I). The geometry of this complex was confirmed to be the same as the starting complex by X-ray crystallography: C(13.5)H(13)N(3)O(6.5)Ru; monoclinic, P2(1)/n; a = 8.120(1), b = 16.650(1), c = 11.510(1) A; beta = 99.07(1) degrees; V = 1536.7(2) A(3); Z = 4. The cis-trans geometrical change reaction occurred in the reactions of cis-[Ru(NO)(OCH(3))(pyca)(2)] (type I) in water and alcohol (ROH, R = CH(3), C(2)H(5)) to form [[trans-Ru(NO)(pyca)(2)](2)(H(3)O(2))](+) (type V) and trans-[Ru(NO)(OR)(pyca)(2)] (type V). The reactions of the trans-form complexes, trans-[Ru(NO)(H(2)O)(pyca)(2)](+) (type V) and trans-[Ru(NO)(OCH(3))(pyca)(2)] (type V), with Cl(-) in hydrochloric acid solution afforded the cis-form complex, cis-[Ru(NO)Cl(pyca)(2)] (type I). The favorable geometry of [Ru(NO)X(pyca)(2)](n)(+) depended on the nature of the coexisting ligand X. This conclusion was confirmed by theoretical, synthetic, and structural studies. The mono-pyca-containing nitrosylruthenium complex (C(2)H(5))(4)N[Ru(NO)Cl(3)(pyca)] was synthesized by the reaction of [Ru(NO)Cl(5)](2)(-) with Hpyca and characterized by X-ray structural analysis: C(14)H(24)N(3)O(3)Cl(3)Ru; triclinic, Ponemacr;, a = 7.631(1), b = 9.669(1), c = 13.627(1) A; alpha = 83.05(2), beta = 82.23(1), gamma = 81.94(1) degrees; V = 981.1(1) A(3); Z = 2. The type II complex of cis-[Ru(NO)Cl(pyca)(2)] was synthesized by the reaction of [Ru(NO)Cl(3)(pyca)](-) or [Ru(NO)Cl(5)](2)(-) with Hpyca and isolated by column chromatography. The structure was determined by X-ray structural analysis: C(12)H(8)N(3)O(5)ClRu; monoclinic, P2(1)/n; a = 10.010(1), b = 13.280(1), c = 11.335(1) A; beta = 113.45(1) degrees; V = 1382.4(2) A(3); Z = 4.     

Preference for nitrogen versus oxygen donor coordination in uranyl- and neptunyl(VI) complexes

The first actinyl phosphinimine complexes have been synthesized and, in the case of uranium, exhibit strong U-N interactions. Competition reactions clearly demonstrate a surprising preference for R3P=NH ligands over R3P=O in the system [AnO2Cl2(R3PX)2] (An = U(VI), Np(VI); R = Ph, Cy; X = O, NH). Spectroscopic evidence for N-donor coordination to [NpO2]2+ in solution indicates chemical similarities to the [UO2]2+ moiety.     

Substitution and derivatization reactions of a water soluble iron(II) complex containing a self-assembled tetradentate phosphine ligand

Facile substitution reactions of the two water ligands in the hydrophilic tetradentate phosphine complex cis-[Fe{(HOCH2)P{CH2N(CH2P(CH2OH)2)CH2}2P(CH2OH)}(H2O)2](SO4) (abbreviated to [Fe(L1)(H2O)2](SO4), 1) take place upon addition of Cl-, NCS-, N3(-), CO3(2-) and CO to give [Fe(L1)X2] (2, X = Cl; 4, X = NCS; 5, X=N3), [Fe(L1)(kappa2-O(2)CO)], 6 and [Fe(L1)(CO)2](SO4), 7. The unsymmetrical mono-substituted intermediates [Fe(L1)(H2O)(CO)](SO(4)) and [Fe(L(1))(CO)(kappa(1)-OSO(3))] (8/9) have been identified spectroscopically en-route to 7. Treatment of 1 with acetic anhydride affords the acylated derivative [Fe{(AcOCH2)P{CH2N(CH2P(CH2OAc)2)CH2}2P(CH2OAc)}(kappa2-O(2)SO2)] (abbreviated to [Fe(L2)(kappa2-O(2)SO2)], 10), which has increased solubility over 1 in both organic solvents and water. Treatment of 1 with glycine does not lead to functionalisation of L1, but substitution of the aqua ligands occurs to form [Fe(L(1))(NH(2)CH(2)CO(2)-kappa(2)N,O)](HSO(4)), 11. Compound 10 reacts with chloride to form [Fe(L(2))Cl(2)] 12, and 12 reacts with CO in the presence of NaBPh4 to form [Fe(L2)Cl(CO)](BPh4) 13b. Both of the chlorides in 12 are substituted on reaction with NCS- and N3(-) to form [Fe(L2)(NCS)2] 14 and [Fe(L2)(N3)2] 15, respectively. Complexes 2.H2O, 4.2H2O, 5.0.812H2O, 6.1.7H2O, 7.H2O, 10.1.3CH3C(O)CH3, 12 and 15.0.5H2O have all been crystallographically characterised.     

Zur Reaktion von Diphenoxyphosphorylchlorid mit N,N-disubstituierten Harnstoffen – Bildung von phosphorylierten Biuret-Verbindungen

Reaction of Diphenoxyphosphorylchloride with N,N-disubstituted Ureas – Formation of Phosphorylated Biuret Compounds N′,N′-disubstituted N-diphenoxyphosphorylureas, (PhO)₂P(O)? NH? CO? NR¹R² (R¹ = R² = Et, 1 ; n-Pr, 2 ; n-Bu, 3 ; i-Bu, 4 ; R¹ = Me and R² = Ph, 5 ) as well as phosphorylated biuret compounds, (PhO)₂P(O)? NH? CO? NH? CO? NR¹R² are obtained in the reaction of diphenoxyphosphorylchloride with N,N-disubstituted ureas and triethylamine. The biuret derivatives are formed via (PhO)₂P(O)NCO. Their yield rises if the reaction is carried out without amine. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of (PhO)₂P(O)? NH? CO? NH? CO? NPr₂, 8 , shows that dimers exist in the crystal with intermolecular as well as intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The framework formed by atoms P? N1? C1(O4)? N2? C2(O5)? N3(C3)C6 is planar. The existence of a rotation barrier along the bond C2–N3 was detected by NMR spectroscopy.
