Reactions of tris(amino)phosphines with arylsulfonyl azides: product dependency on tris(amino)phosphine structure

The Staudinger reaction of N(CH2CH2NR)3P [R = Me (1), Pr (2)] with 1 equiv of N3SO2C6H4Me-4 gave the ionic phosphazides [N(CH2CH2NR)3PN][SO2C6H4Me-4] [R = Me (3), R = Pr (5a)], and the same reaction of 2 with N3SO2C6H2Me3-2,4,6 gave the corresponding aryl sulfinite 5b. On the other hand, the reaction of 1 with 0.5 equiv of N3SO2Ar (Ar = C6H4Me-4) furnished the novel ionic phosphazide [[N(CH2CH2NMe)3P]2(mu-N3)][SO2Ar] (6). Data that shed light on the mechanistic pathway leading to 3 were obtained by low temperature 31P NMR spectroscopy. A crystal and molecular structure analysis of the phosphazide sulfonate [N(CH2CH2NMe)3PN3][SO3C6H4Me-4] (4), obtained by atmospheric oxidation of 3, indicated an ionic structure, the cationic part of which is stabilized by a transannular P-N bond. A crystal and molecular structure analysis of 6 also indicated an ionic structure in which the cation features two untransannulated N(CH2CH2NMe)3P cages bridged by an azido group in an eta 1: mu: eta 1 fashion. The reaction of P(NMe2)3 with N3SO2Ar (Ar = C6H4Me-4) in a 1:0.5 molar ratio furnished [[(Me2N)3P]2(mu-N3)][SO2-Ar] (11) in quantitative yield. On the other hand, the same reaction involving a 1:1 molar ratio of P(NMe2)3 and N3SO2Ar produced a mixture of 11, [(Me2N)3PN3][SO2Ar] (12), and the iminophosphorane (Me2N)3P=NSO2Ar (10). In contrast, the bicyclic tris(amino)phosphines MeC(CH2NMe)3P (7) and O=P(CH2NMe)3P (8) reacted with N3SO2-Ar (Ar = C6H4Me-4) to give the iminophosphorane MeC(CH2NMe)3P=NSO2Ar (14) (structured by X-ray means) and O=P(CH2NMe)3P=NSO2Ar (16) via the intermediate phosphazides MeC(CH2NMe)3PN3SO2Ar (13) and O=P(CH2NMe)3PN3SO2Ar (15), respectively. The variety of products obtained from the reactions of arylsulfonyl azides with proazaphosphatranes (1 and 2), acyclic P(NMe2)3, bicyclic tris(amino)phosphines 7 and 8 are rationalized in terms of steric and basicity variations among the phosphorus reagents.     

Reaction of palladium (I) carbonyl acetate with phosphorus-containing ligands and the molecular structure of tris(triphenylphosphine)palladium

Conclusions Neutral and cationic carbonyl-containing palladium (II) complexes with phosphine ligands have been synthesized; they are not very stable in solution and undergo disproportionation to give palladium (0) and (II) compounds. The structure of one of these disproportionation products, namely, tris(triphenylphosphine)palladium, was solved by x-ray structural analysis.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 894–897, April, 1987.

A supersonic molecular beam study of the reaction of tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium with self-assembled alkyltrichlorosilane monolayers

The reaction of a transition metal coordination complex, Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4), with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) possessing-OH, -NH(2), and -CH(3) terminations has been examined using supersonic molecular beam techniques. The emphasis here is on how the reaction probability varies with incident kinetic energy (E(i)=0.4-2.07 eV) and angle of incidence (theta(i)=0 degrees -60 degrees ). The most reactive surface is the substrate underlying the SAMs-SiO(2) with a high density of -OH(a) (>5 x 10(14) cm(-2)), "chemical oxide." On chemical oxide, the dynamics of adsorption are well described by trapping, precursor-mediated adsorption, and the initial probability of adsorption depends only weakly on E(i) and theta(i). The dependence of the reaction probability on substrate temperature is well described by a model involving an intrinsic precursor state, where the barrier for dissociation is approximately 0.2-0.5 eV below the vacuum level. Reaction with the SAMs is more complicated. On the SAM with the unreactive, -CH(3), termination, reactivity decreases continuously with increasing E(i) while increasing with increasing theta(i). The data are best interpreted by a model where the Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4) must first be trapped on the surface, followed by diffusion through the SAM and reaction at the SAMSiO(2) interface with residual -OH(a). This process is not activated by E(i) and most likely occurs in defective areas of the SAM. On the SAMs with reactive end groups, the situation is quite different. On both the-OH and -NH(2) SAMs, the reaction with the Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4) as a function of E(i) passes through a minimum near E(i) approximately 1.0 eV. Two explanations for this intriguing finding are made-one involves the participation of a direct dissociation channel at sufficiently high E(i). A second explanation involves a new mechanism for trapping, which could be termed penetration facilitated trapping, where the Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4) penetrates the near surface layers, a process that is activated as the molecules in the SAM must be displaced from their equilibrium positions.     

Synthesis and structure of tris(4-ferrocenylphenyl)boroxine and its utility in cross-coupling reaction

The reaction of 4-bromophenylferrocene with butyllithium followed by treatment of the organolithium compound with tributyl borate afforded tris(4-ferrocenylphenyl)boroxine (2). X-ray diffraction study of the solvate 2·2C₆H₆ revealed an intermolecular stacking interaction between the boroxine ring and the Cp rings in the crystal structure. Cross-coupling of compound 2 with 4-bromo-4-nitro-1,1-biphenyl produced 4-ferrocenyl-4-nitro-1,1:4,1-terphenyl (3). X-ray diffraction study of terphenyl 3 showed that this compound crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group P2₁. In the crystal, molecules 3 are packed in an antiparallel head-to-tail fashion, which is unfavorable for generation of strong nonlinear optical effects.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The reaction of tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium with self-assembled alkyltrichlorosilane monolayers possessing -OH, -NH2, and -CH3 terminal groups

The reactions of tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium, Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4), with alkyltrichlorosilane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) terminated by -OH, -NH(2), and -CH(3) groups have been investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For comparison, a chemically oxidized Si surface, which serves as the starting point for formation of the SAMs, has also been investigated. In this work, we examined the kinetics of adsorption, the spatial extent, and stoichiometry of the reaction. Chemically oxidized Si has been found to be the most reactive surface examined here, followed by the -OH, -NH(2), and -CH(3) terminated SAMs, in that order. On all surfaces, the reaction of Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4) was relatively facile, as evidenced by a rather weak dependence of the initial reaction probability on substrate temperature (T(s) = -50 to 110 degrees C), and adsorption could be described by first-order Langmuirian kinetics. The use of angle-resolved XPS demonstrated clearly that the anomalous reactivity of the -CH(3) terminated SAM could be attributed to reaction of Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4) at the SAM/SiO(2) interface. Reaction on the -NH(2) terminated SAM proved to be the "cleanest", where essentially all of the reactivity could be associated with the terminal amine group. In this case, we found that approximately one Ti[N(CH(3))(2)](4) adsorbed per two SAM molecules. On all surfaces, there was significant loss of the N(CH(3))(2) ligand, particularly at high substrate temperatures, T(s) = 110 degrees C. These results show for the first time that it is possible to attach a transition metal coordination complex from the vapor phase to a surface with an appropriately functionalized self-assembled monolayer.

Reaction of tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine and cinnamaldehyde in methanol

Reaction of tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine with excess cinnamaldehyde in CH₃OH or CD₃OD, followed using NMR, proceeds via several phosphorus-containing intermediates, multiple transformations of organic parts, and with the solvent H/D isotope effect on products. In both solvents, one CH₂OH group of tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine is readily replaced by the cinnamaldehyde moiety to give the primary product, a 1,3-oxaphosphorinane derivative. Slower replacement of the second CH₂OH group leads to a mixture of aliphatic and heterocyclic phosphine intermediates in a ratio of ~4:1 in CH₃OH and ~1:1 in CD₃OD; both intermediates contain alcohol and aldehyde groups and convert rapidly into intra- and intermolecular hemiacetals. The hemiacetals of the aliphatic phosphine rearrange further into an unsymmetrical trialkylphosphine oxide, whereas the hemiacetals of the heterocyclic phosphine react with the third mole of cinnamaldehyde to replace the third CH₂OH group of tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine. All intermediates and products are formed as mixtures of stereoisomers.     

Tris(dimethylamido)bis(dimethylamine)titanium(IV) chloridobis(dimethylamine)[tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–amido][tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–nitrido]titanate(IV) toluene solvate

The title ionic solid, [Ti(C₂H₆N)₃(C₂H₇N)₂][Ti(C₁₈BF₁₅N)(C₁₈H₂BF₁₅N)Cl(C₂H₇N)₂]·C₇H₈, (I), comprises a cation with three dimethylamide ligands in the equatorial plane and two dimethylamine ligands positioned axially in a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry about the central Ti^IV atom. The anion has a highly distorted octahedral structure. The two dimethylamine ligands are coordinated mutually trans. The chloride is trans to the tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–amide, while the sixth coordination site is occupied by an ortho‐F atom of the tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–amide group in a trans disposition with respect to the tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–nitride ligand. The most significant feature of the anion is the presence of an unprecedented terminal Ti[triple‐bond]N moiety [1.665 (2) Å], stabilized by coordination to B(C₆F₅)₃, with a Ti[triple‐bond]N—B angle of 169.50 (19)°.
