Die Umsetzung von Diphenylphosphinigsäurechlorid mit Natriumsalzen von aromatischen Sulfinsäuren zu Diphenylphosphinsäure-S-arylestern

Zusammenfassung Die Umsetzung von Diphenylphosphinigsäurechlorid mit Alkalisalzen aromatischer Sulfinsäuren führt unter Reduktion am Schwefel, Oxydation am Phosphor und Ausbildung einer Bindung zwischen Phosphor und Schwefel, zu Diphenylthiophosphinsäure-S-arylestern: (C₆H₅)₂P(O)–S–Ar (Ar=C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄, 4-ClC₆H₄, 2-Cl-5-CH₃-C₆H₃, 2-C₁₀H₇). Die besten Ausbeuten (40–85%) wurden mitDMF als Lösungsmittel erhalten. Aliphatische Phosphinigsäurechloride geben keine Bindung zwischen P und S. Ebenso tritt keine Umsetzung ein, wenn im Säurechlorid eine P–O-Struktur vorliegt. Auch die Umsetzung von (C₆H₅)₂PCl und (C₆H₅)₂P(O)Cl mit Sulfonsäuren anstelle der Sulfinsäuren führt zu keiner P–S-Verknüpfung. Diese Phosphor-Schwefel-Bindung in den Thiophosphinsäure-S-estern stellt die schwächste Stelle im Molekül dar, da ein hydrolytischer, oxydativer oder reduktiver Angriff diese Bindung wieder löst.

Reaction of diphenylchlorophosphine with alkali salts of aromatic sulfinic acids leads to diphenylthiophosphinates; reduction occurs at the sulfur atom, oxidation at the phosphorus atom and a bond between phosphorus and sulfur is formed: (C₆H₅)₂P(O)–S–Ar, Ar=C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄, 2-ClC₆H₄, 2-Cl-5-CH₃-C₆H₃, 2-C₁₀H₇. The best yields were obtained in dimethyl formamide as solvent. With aliphatic chlorophosphines no bond formation beetween sulfur and phosphorus occurred. Similarly no reaction was observed, when a phosphorus atom in a higher state of oxidation was present, as for example in diphenylphosphonylchloride. Also, no reaction took place when sulfonic instead of sulfinic acids were used. The weakest bond found to exist in the diphenylthiophosphinates was the P–S-linkage, which readily undergoes hydrolytic, oxidative or reductive cleavage.

     

Reactions of nucleophiles with cyclopentadienyliron complexed halotoluenes

η⁶-o-Chlorotoluene-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate undergoes nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom with anions generated (K₂CO₃/DMF) from methyl thioglycolate, diethyl malonate, dimethyl malonate, methyl acetoacetate and 2,4-pentanedione. The compounds prepared were o-CH₃C₆H₄SCH₂CO₂CH₃FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, o-CH₃C₆H₄CH(CO₂C₂H₅)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, o-CH₃C₆H₄CH(CO₂CH₃)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, o-CH₃C₆H₄CH(COCH₃)CO₂CH₃FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ and o-CH₃C₆H₄CH₂COCH₃FeCp⁺PF₆ . Similarly, the reaction of diethyl malonate, dimethyl malonate, methyl acetoacetate anions and methylamine with η⁶-2,6-dichlorotoluene-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate yielded monosubstitution of one of the chloro groups. The complexes prepared in this study were η⁶-diethyl(3-chloro-2-methyl) phenylmalonate- η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate, η⁶-dimethyl(3-chloro-2-methyl)phenylmalonate-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate, η⁶-methyl(3-chloro-2-methyl)phenylacetoacetate-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate and η⁶-3-chloro(2-methyl-N-methyl)aniline-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate. Reaction of η⁶-2,6-dichlorotoluene-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate with excess methanol as well as methyl thioglycolate in the presence of K₂CO₃ resulted in disubstitution of both chloro groups to yield new complexes, η⁶-2,6-dimethoxytoluene-η⁵-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate and η⁶-methyl[(2-methylphenyl)1,3-dithio] diacetate-η⁵5-cyclopentadienyliron hexafluorophosphate, respectively. Complexes o-CH₃C₆H₄CH(CO₂C₂H₅)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, o-CH₃C₆H₄CH(CO₂CH₃)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ and o-CH₃C₆H₄CH₂ COCH₃FeCp⁺ PF₆⁻ react with excess K₂CO₃ and benzyl bromide in refluxing methylene chloride to give 80–90% yields of complexes o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂C₂H₅)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂CH₃)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ and o-CH₃C₆H₄CH(CH₂C₆H₅)COCH₃FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, respectively. Reaction of complex, o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂C₂H₅)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ with one molar equivalent of t-BuOK followed by acidic work-up gives o-(C₂H₅CO₂CH₂)C₆H₄CH(CO₂C₂H₅)CH₂C₆H₅FeCp⁺PF₆⁻. Similarly, reactions of complexes o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂C₂H₅)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ and o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂CH₃)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ with t-BuOK in THF followed by alkylation with methyl iodide gave the new complexes, o-(C₂H₅O₂C(CH₃)CH)C₆H₄CH(CH₂C₆H₅)CO₂C₂H₅FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ and o-(CH₃O₂C(CH₃)CH)C₆H₄CH(CH₂C₆H₅)CO₂CH₃FeCp⁺PF₆⁻, respectively. Vacuum sublimation of the new complexes, o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂C₂H₅)₂FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ and o-(C₂H₅O₂CCH₂)C₆H₄CH(CH₂C₆H₅)CO₂C₂H₅FeCp⁺PF₆⁻ gives o-CH₃C₆H₄C(CH₂C₆H₅)(CO₂C₂H₅)₂ and O-(C₂H₅O₂CCH₂)C₆H₄CH(CH₂C₆H₅)CO₂C₂H₅, respectively.     

Convergent procedure for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing N-(pyridinyl-triazolyl)pyrimidin-2-amines

This study describes a simple and efficient procedure to synthesize a novel series of fourteen 4-substituted N-(5-pyridinyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amines, where the 4-substituents are H, CH₃, C₆H₅, 4-FC₆H₄, 4-CH₃C₆H₄, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄ and 2-Furyl; from the cyclocondensation reaction of N-[5-(pyridinyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]guanidines with 4-alkoxy-4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-1,1,1-trifluoroalk-3-en-2-ones. The reactions were carried out in ethanol under reflux for 18 h and led to 40-68% yields. N-(Pyridyl-triazolyl)guanidine precursors were further obtained from reactions of cyanoguanidine with nicotinic or isonicotinic acid hydrazides and the halogenated enones from trifluoroacetylation of enolethers or acetals.     

Umsetzung von Alkalimetallphosphiden mit Salzen aromatischer Sulfonsäuren 2. Mitt.: Die Reaktion substituierter aromatischer Sulfonate mit Kaliumdiphenylphosphid

Zusammenfassung Die Umsetzung von Alkalidiphenylphosphid mit Methylaryl-sulfonaten zu tert. Phosphinen gelingt umso leichter, je weniger Methylgruppen der Arylrest enthält. Folgende Phosphine (C₆H₅)₂PR wurden dargestellt: R=2-CH₃C₆H₄–, 4-CH₃C₆H₄–, 2,4-(CH₃)₂C₆H₃– und 4-Methyl--naphthyl. Ebenso wurden die Phosphine mit R=3-(CH₃)₂NC₆H₄– und 2-(CH₃)₂NC₆H₄– aus den Dimethylanilinsulfonaten erhalten. Die Umsetzung von (C₆H₅)₂PK mit Na-1,4-Chlorbenzolsulfonat im Molverhältnis 2:1 gibt fast quantitativ 1,4-Phenylen-bis-diphenylphosphin, im Molverhältnis 1:1 aber entsteht (bei tieferen Temperaturen) Diphenylphosphin-p-benzolsulfonat. Diphenyl-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)phosphin wird am besten aus Diphenylchlorphosphin und Mesitylmagnesiumbromid hergestellt.Zusammenfassung Alkali diphenylphosphides react with methylarylsulfonates giving tert. phosphines. The yield increases with decreasing number of methyl groups in the arylsulfonate. The following phosphines (C₆H₅)₂PR were prepared: R=2-CH₃C₆H₄, 4-CH₃C₆H₄, 2,4-(CH₃)₂C₆H₃, and 4-methyl--naphthyl. Similarly the phosphines with R=3-(CH₃)₂NC₆H₄ and 2-(CH₃)₂NC₆H₄ were prepared from dimethylaniline sulfonates. The reaction of (C₆H₅)₂PK with sodium 1,4 chlorophenyl sulfonate at a molar ratio of 2:1 yields nearly quantitatively 1,4-phenylene-bis(diphenylphosphine); however at a mole ratio of 1:1 and at lower temperatures sodium diphenylphosphine-p-phenyl sulfonate is obtained. The best way to prepare diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)phosphine was to use diphenyl-chloro phosphine and mesitylmagnesium bromide.

Unexpected formation of chiral single crystals of {NH(n-C3H7)3[MnIICrIII(C2O4)3]}, A 2D oxalate-based material

In an attempt to obtain chiral single crystals of a two-dimensional (2D) bimetallic oxalate-based material by enantioselective auto-assembling of Mn²⁺ and (rac)-[Cr(C₂O₄)₃]^3? templated by the optically active complex (+)-(Rp)-[1-CH₂(n-C₃H₇)₃-2-CH₃(C₅H₃)Fe(C₅H₅)]⁺, we obtained the unexpected 2D network species {NH(n-C₃H₇)₃[MnCr(C₂O₄)₃]}. X-ray diffraction determination of the structure reveals that the complex crystallizes in the enantiomorphous space group P6₃. The interlayer spacing of 7.93?Å?is the lowest found so far for 2D, bimetallic, oxalate-bridged compounds.

In the complexes the nitrogen atom of the cyanide ligands is coordinated to the metal. The thermal stabilities of the complexes depend markedly on R and R′; on heating they undergo a novel reaction in which two cyanide ligands are coupled by formation of a CC bond, while the metal is oxidized to titanium(IV).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Class of Oxygen Bridged Bicyclic Tetraphosphazanes

Abstract

The reaction of primary amine hydrochlorides with phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of 1/4 mole of H₂0 yields the title compounds I (R = C₆H₅-, 4-CH₃CH₆H₄ ^?′ 4-CH₃CH₆H₄ ^?, 3-CH₃CH₆H₄ ^? CF₃CH₂-). Hydrochlorides Of more basic amines do not yield any cyclic material. The compound I (R = C₆H₅) was isolated as one isomer. An X-ray crystallographic study has shown an open ring structure in which the two chlorine atoms are positioned on the same face of the P₄N₄ ring as the P-O-P bridge.     

Synthesis and reactivity of some isocyanide complexes of iridium(I)

Several isocyanide complexes [Ir(RNC)₄]X (I) (R = p-CH₃C₆H₄, X = I; R = p-CH₃OC₆H₄, X = I and PF₆) and [Ir(RNC)₂(PPh₃)₃] ClO₄(II) (R = p-CH₃C₆H₄ and p-CH₃OC₆H₄) have been prepared by the reactions of [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ and [Ir(COD)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ (COD = l,5-cyclooctadiene) with aryIisocyanides, respectively. Oxidative addition reactions of I and II with halogens, and II with π-acids such as tetracyanoethylene(TCNE), fumaronitrile, maleic anhydride, dimethyl fumarate, acrylonitrile, and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate are described. The structures of I, II and the π-acid addition products of II, [Ir(p-CH₃C₆H₄NC)₂ (PPh₃)₂ (π-acid)]ClO₄ (IV) (π-acid = TCNE, fumaronitrile, maleic anhydride, and acetylene dicarboxylate), are discussed on the basis of their electronic, IR, and NMR spectra. Especially, I is suggested to have an unusual layer structure involving Ir to Ir interaction, the result of which is relatively low reactivity in oxidative addition reactions. Trigonal bipyramidal configurations are suggested for IV with the two isocyanides in the trans and cis positions for the olefin and acetylene adducts, respectively.
