Characterization and reactivity of peralkylated LnIIAlIII heterobimetallic complexes

The heterobimetallic peralkylated complexes [Ln(AlR4)2]n (Ln = Sm, Yb; R = Me, Et) were synthesized by a silylamide elimination route from Ln[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 and an excess of AlR3. The solid-state structure of [Sm(AlEt4)2]n is isomorphous to that of the ytterbium derivative. Polymeric [Yb(AlMe4)2]n was examined by 1H and 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy revealing the presence of distinct bridging methyl groups. The reaction of [Yb(AlMe4)2]n and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) afforded the monomeric donor adduct Yb(AlMe4)2(Phen), while the protonolysis reaction with 2 equiv. C5Me5H (HCp*) yielded a separated ion pair of composition [Cp*Yb(THF)(4)][AlMe(4)]. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data are provided for both ytterbium(II) complexes. Solid-state magnetic measurements (SQUID) were performed on [Sm(AlMe4)2]n, [Sm(AlEt4)2]n, SmI2(THF)2 and Sm[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 showing high effective magnetic moments 3.67micro(B) < micro(eff) < 4.43micro(B).

Gold catalysis: domino reaction of en-diynes to highly substituted phenols

By Sonogashira coupling of 1,7-heptadiynes and 1,8-octadiynes with 2-iodoallyl alcohols, various substrates that bear a 2-alkynylallyl alcohol moiety tethered to an additional alkyne were prepared in one step. Subjection to nitrogen acyclic carbene (NAC)/gold(I) catalysts delivered highly substituted phenols in an efficient domino reaction. Furan derivatives were formed as intermediates; this was proven by in situ NMR spectroscopy. The uncommon substitution pattern of these furans opens the way for a selective formation of phenols that contain the hydroxyl group in the meta position to the ring junction, which previously was not possible by gold-catalyzed furan-yne cyclization. Furthermore, interesting mechanistic insights were obtained by products derived from secondary allyl alcohols. In this case, in addition to the phenolic compounds, a ketone is formed by 1,2-alkyl shift.     

Oxidation of substituted phenols with chlorine dioxide

Chlorine dioxide was used to oxidize sterically hindered phenols and their derivatives (2,6-di-tertbutylphenol, 2,6-diisobornylphenol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, 2,6-diisobornyl-4-methylphenol, and 3,5-diisobornyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) in organic solvent.     

Study of charge transfer complexes of [70]fullerene with phenol and substituted phenols

To improve the understanding of the charge transfer (CT) interaction of [70]fullerene with electron donors, interaction of [70]fullerene with a series of phenols, e.g., phenol, resorcinol and p-quinol were studied in 1,4-dioxan medium using absorption spectroscopy. An absorption band due to CT transition was observed in the visible region. The experimental CT transition energies (h nuCT) are well correlated (through Mulliken's equation) with the vertical ionisation potentials (I(D)v) of the series of phenols studied. From an analysis of this correlation degrees of charge transfer for the [70]fullerene-phenol complexes were estimated. The degrees of charge transfer in the ground state of the complexes have been found to be very low (<2%). The h nuCT values change systematically as the number and position of the -OH groups change on the aromatic ring of the phenol moiety. From the trends in the h nuCT values, the Hückel parameters (h(O) and k(C-O)) for the -OH group were obtained in a straightforward way and the values so obtained, viz., 1.91 and 1.0, respectively, are close to the ones (1.8 and 0.8) recommended by Streitwieser on the basis of other evidence. Oscillator strengths, transition dipole strengths and resonance energies of the [70]fullerene-phenol complexes were determined. Formation constants of the CT complexes were determined at four different temperatures from which enthalpies and entropies of formation of the complexes were estimated.     

Matrix isolation infrared studies of complexes formed between substituted phenols and trimethylamine

Infrared spectroscopy and matrix isolation technique have been used to study the 1 : 1 complexes formed between 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP), pentachlorophenol (PCP) or 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenol (CNP) and trimethylamine (TMA) isolated in solid argon. The results were analyzed in relation to the type of complex formed. Depending on the proton-donor ability of the phenol three different types of hydrogen bonded complexes have been identified in argon matrices. The weakest phenol in the series, TCP (pK_a = 6.72), forms a strong molecular hydrogen bonded complex with TMA as indicated by the broad ν(OHN) absorption with a maximum at 2490 cm⁻¹ and a band at 811 cm⁻¹ due to the ν_s(C₃N) mode of the perturbed amine. The strongest phenol, CNP (pK_a = 2.01), interacts with TMA in an argon matrix to form ionic complex with the proton transferred to the base molecule. This is evidenced by the presence of the ν(NH⁺---O⁻) absorption between 3000−1800 cm⁻¹, by the ν_as(C₃N⁺) and ν_s(C₃N⁺) absorptions due to the protonated amine and by numerous product bands due to the relatively strongly perturbed modes of the phenol ring. The interaction between TMA and a phenol of intermediate strength, PCP (pK_a = 4.74), in solid argon probably leads to the formation of two types of hydrogen bonded complexes: an ionic complex with the proton transferred to the amine molecule and a pseudosymmetric one with the proton more or less equally shared between the phenol and amine molecules. In this case the protonic absorption consists of two broad features situated in the 3000–1600 cm⁻¹ and 950–400 cm⁻¹ regions due to the ν(NH⁺O⁻) and ν(OHN) modes, respectively.     

Molecular complexes of phenols with DDQ

Molecular complexes of phenols with DDQ have been studied spectrophotometrically in the temperature range of 10–30‡C in a solvent (CHC1₃) of low polarity under low donor concentrations. All the complexes exhibit one CT band each in the wavelength region where acceptor and donor do not have any absorption. The complexes are inferred to be of the π2π type and have R_y configuration in which the donor molecular orbital encompasses the substituent. The ionization potentials of the donors, the stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of the complexes have been evaluated.     

Kinetics and mechanistic study of the reaction of cyclic anhydrides with substituted phenols. Structure-reactivity relationships

[reaction: see text] The kinetic of the reactions of phthalic and maleic anhydrides with different substituted phenols (Z-PhOH with Z = H, m-CH(3), p-CH(3), m-Cl, p-Cl, and m-CN) were studied in aqueous solution. Two kinetic processes well separated in time were observed. The fast one is attributed to the formation of the aryl ester in equilibrium with the anhydride and allows the determination of the rate of nucleophilic attack of the phenol on the anhydride (k(-)(A)). From the slow kinetic process, the equilibrium constant for this reaction was determined. The Bronsted-type plots for the nucleophilic attack of substituted phenols on the anhydrides were linear with slopes beta(Nuc) of 0.45 and 0.56 for phthalic and maleic anhydride, respectively. The results are consistent with a mechanism involving rate-determining nucleophilic attack and also with a concerted mechanism. The calculated effective charge on the atoms involved in the reactions and the Bronsted beta values are consistent with a mechanism involving a concerted or enforced concerted mechanism where a tetrahedral intermediate with significant lifetime is not formed along the reaction coordinate. The latter mechanism is preferred over the stepwise process.

Alternative reaction pathways in domino reactions of hydrazinediidozirconium complexes with alkynes

Reaction of [Zr{(NAr)(2)N(py)}(NMe(2))(2)] (Ar=3,5-xylyl: 2?a, mesityl: 2?b) with one or two molar equivalents of 1,1-diphenylhydrazine gave the mixed amido/hydrazido(1-) complex [Zr{(NMes)(2)N(py)}(HNNPh(2))(NMe(2))] (3), the bis-hydrazido complex [Zr{(NMes)(2)N(py)}(HNNPh(2))(2)] (4), and, in the presence of excess 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), hexacoordinate hydrazinediidozirconium complexes [Zr{(NXyl)(2)N(py)}(=NN(Me)Ph)(dmap)(2)] (5) and [Zr{(NXyl)(2)N(py)}(=NNPh(2))(dmap)(2)] (6). The reaction of one equivalent of the zirconium-hydrazinediide [Zr{(NTBS)(2)N(py)}(NNPh(2))(py)] (1) with disubstituted alkynes at RT for 16?h led to the formation of seven-membered diazazirconacycles 7?a-7?e in high yields. Similar reactivity was observed by reacting bis-amido complex 2?b with one molar equivalent of the corresponding alkyne and diphenylhydrazine. The formation of the seven-membered zirconacycles implied a key coupling step that involved the alkyne and one of the aryl rings of the diphenylhydrazinediido ligand. In some cases, such as the reaction with 2-butyne, the corresponding metallacycle was only obtained in modest yields (45?% for the reaction with 2-butyne) and a second major product, vinylimido complex 9, was formed in almost equal amounts (42?%) by 1,2-amination (formal insertion of the alkyne). The formation of compounds 7?a and 9 followed in part the same sequence of reaction steps and a key intermediate, an azirinido complex, represented a "bifurcation point" in the reaction network. Reaction of 1.2?equivalents of several diarylhydrazines and various substituted alkynes (1?equiv) at ambient temperature (or at 80?°C) in the presence of 10?mol?% [Zr{(NXyl)(2)N(py)}(NMe(2))(2)] (2?a) gave the corresponding indole derivatives. On the other hand, the replacement of 1,1-diarylhydrazines by 1-methyl-1-phenyl hydrazine led to head-to-head cis-1,3-enynes in good yields.     

Group 6-group 10 heterobimetallic complexes with sulfur ligands

Complexes that contain both a group 6 group 10 metal combination and a sulfur bound ligand form a growing set of species. Their chemistry is discussed and reviewed. Ligands that bind to such heterobimetallic molecules most commonly are S^2– and SR^– species. Metal-metal bonded complexes, and compounds where metal-metal interactions are minimal are both discussed. The structural parameters for many of the crystallographically characterized complexes are tabulated.     

The role of F-N reagent and reaction conditions on fluoro functionalisation of substituted phenols

The effect of steric interactions on the regioselectivity of fluorination of para alkyl substituted phenols was investigated and the strong effect of size of the alkyl substituent, the structure of the F-N reagent and the solvent on the site of fluorination was established. The course of reaction obeyed a second order rate equation, while the fluorination process required higher ΔH^≠ activation than oxidation or oxidative demethylation. Solvent polarity variations had a small effect on the rate of functionalisation, while an excellent Hammett correlation with ρ⁺=−2.3 was determined.

This is the first application of heterobimetallic asymmetric catalysts solely as Lewis acids.
