New neutral and cationic cyclopentadienylcobalt complexes

The treatment of the aquocation [Co(η³-2-MeC₃H₄)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(H₂O]⁺ with neutral and anionic ligands gives new cobalt complexes containing cations [Co(η³-2-MeC₃H₄)(η⁵-C₅H₅)L]ⁿ⁺, n = 0; L = CN, CH₃COO, CF₃COO and n = 1; L = P(p-MePh)₃, NCEt, NCPh, CNCy, dppm and [{Co(η³-2-MeC₃H₄)(η⁵-C₅H₅)}₂ (μ-L-L)]²⁺, L-L = bipy, dppm. The neutral cyano complex reacts with various electrophiles to give cationic isocyanide complexes containing the cation [Co(η³-2-MeC₃H₄)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CNR)]⁺, which have been isolated in low yields. Chemical behaviour and structural implications of IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra are discussed.     

The cyclometallation of bis(di-p-methylbenzylphosphino)methane

The new diphosphine (4-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂PCH₂P(4-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂, L, was reacted with [MnMe(CO)₅] to give the novel cyclometallated compound [Mn{(4-MeC₆H₃CH₂)(4-MeC₆H₄CH₂)PCH₂P(4-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂}(CO)₃], as the mer isomer, and with the ligand in a terdentate [C,P,P] fashion.     

Preparation of complexes containing PtC bonds by use of (crown ether)potassium hydroxide

The complexes [PtR₂L₂] and [PtR(Cl)L₂] containing phosphines (L) and the σ-carbyl ligands R (R  CH₂NO₂, CCPh, CH₂CN, CH₂COPh, CH₂COC₆H₄NO₂-4, CH₂COC₆H₄OMe-2, CH₂COMe) have been prepared from [PtCl₂L₂], RH and KOH in the presence of 18-crown-6. Some complexes containing hydroxo-ligands were also formed. Structures have been determined from the ³¹P-{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra.     

Characterization and electrochemical studies of molybdenum(VI) dioxodialkylbipyridyl complexes. X-ray crystal structure of MoO2(o-MeC6H4CH2)2(bipy)

Summary New Mo^VI-dioxodialkyl complexes, MoO₂R₂(bipy), R = CH₂CH₂Ph and p-MeC₆H₄CH₂; bipy = 2,2-bipyridine, have been synthesized. The i.r. and the ¹H-n.m.r. spectra of these complexes are noted. The structure of MoO₂(o-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂(bipy) was determined by X-ray analysis. Significant differences in the redox characteristics of these dioxodialkylcompounds are reflected in the contrasting patterns: whereas reduction of MoO₂-(CH₂CH₂Ph) ₂(bipy) is a reversible one-electron process, under similar conditions MoO₂(p-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂(bipy) and MoO₂(o-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂(bipy) are reduced irreversibly. Similarly, solutions of MoO₂(CH₂CH₂Ph)₂(bipy) remain unchanged but oxygenated organic products are formed from MoO₂(p-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂(bipy) and MoO₂ (o-MeC₆H₄CH₂)₂(bipy).     

Alkyl scandium complexes coordinated by dianionic O,N,N- and O,N,O-ligands derived from Schiff bases

The reactions of imino phenols 3,5-Bu^t₂-2-HOC₆H₂CH=NX (X = 8-C₉H₆N, 2-MeO-5-MeC₆H₃ and 2-PhOC₆H₄) with Sc(CH₂SiMe₃)₃(THF)₂ in toluene proceed with silane elimination and reductive alkylation of the CN group affording dimeric base-free monoalkyl scandium complexes. X-ray analysis of the two complexes revealed their dimeric structures due to μ-bridging amidophenolato dianions. The complexes catalyze hydrophosphination of styrene, phenylacetylene and tolane with Ph₂PH as well as dehydrogenative coupling of anisole with hydrosilanes.     

Cyclic acyl complexes of palladium(II). Synthesis and NMR spectroscopy of acyl complexes derived from quinoline-8-carbaldehyde and 2-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde

The room temperature syntheses of new chelating acyl palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(μ-Cl)(C(O)C₉H₆N)]₂ and [Pd(μ-Cl)(C(O)C₆H₄N(CH₃)₂]₂, derived from quinoline-8-carbaldehyde and 2-(dimethylamino)banzaldehyde are described. These chloro bridged dimers may be cleaved with neutral phosphine and nitrogen ligands, L, to give the monomeric [PdCl(C(O)C₉H₆N)L] and [PdCl(C(O)C₆H₄N(CH₃)₂)L] compounds. ¹H-, ¹³C- and ³¹P-NMR data for the new complexes are reported.     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Phosphors. 67. Zur Kenntnis der Cyclotriphosphane (PC6H5)3, (PC6H5)2(PC2H5) und (PC6H5)2(PCH3)

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 67. About the Cyclotriphosphanes (PC₆H₅)₃, (PC₆H₅)₂(PC₂H₅), and (PC₆H₅)₂(PCH₃) The reaction of (CH₃)₃Si(C₆H₅)P? P(C₆H₅)Si(CH₃)₃ with RPCl₂ (R = C₆H₅, C₂H₅, CH₃) yields the cyclotriphosphanes (PC₆H₅)₃ 1 , (PC₆H₅)₂(PC₂H₅) 3 , and (PC₆H₅)₂(PCH₃) 4 , respectively. Besides, the corresponding homo- and mixed-substituted cyclotetraphosphanes, cyclopentaphosphanes, and cyclohexaphosphanes are formed. The relative concentrations of the cyclotriphosphanes in the reaction mixtures decrease continuously, whereas those of the cyclopentaphosphanes increase. The reasons for these ring-interconversion reactions of the cyclophosphanes (PR)_n are discussed. The cyclotriphosphanes 1, 3 , and 4 are characterized by ³¹P chemical shifts between +130 and +160 ppm that are at considerable high field compared to open-chain triphosphanes and cyclophosphanes of different ring-size. The substituents R are situated on both sides of the P₃-ring plane, thus giving rise to two diastereomers of 3 that are observed simultaneously in the statistically expected ratio. The ³¹P n.m.r. parameters of 1 and 3 are reported and discussed.     

Synthese und spektroskopische Untersuchungen von Di-t-Butylzinn(IV)-dicarboxylaten

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Di-t-butyltin(IV) dicarboxylates Five Di-t-butyltin(IV) dicarboxylates t-Bu₂Sn(O₂CR)₂ (R ? CH₃, C(CH₃)₃, C₆H₅, C₆H₄NH₂-2, C₅H₄N-2) have been synthesized by reaction of Di-t-butyltinoxide (t-Bu₂SnO)₃ with corresponding ligands and studied by ¹H-, ¹³C-, ¹¹⁹Sn n.m.r. and infrared spectroscopy. The compounds are monomeric in CD₂Cl₂- or CDCl₃-solution and have pentacoordinated tin atoms with exception of the picolinate. The coordination takes place through the carboxylic oxygen atoms. In the Di-t-butyltin(IV)di-2-picolinate the tin atom is hexacoordinated by intramolecular tin-nitrogen-interaction.     

Metallorganische verbindungen des iridiums und rhodiums: XXV. Darstellung,spektroskopie und strukturanalyse einiger (2-6-η-1-oxocyclohexadienyl)rhodium(I)-komplexe des typs (η-2,6-t-bu2-4-MeC6H2)RhL2

The interaction of 2,6-t-Bu₂-4-MeC₆H₂OLi with several chlororhodium(I) complexes gave the compounds (2,6-t-Bu₂-4-MeC₆H₂O)RhL₂ (2 L = CO, PPh₃ (I); 2 PPh₃ (II); 2 C₂H₄ (III); cyclo-C₈H₁₂ (IV)) containing the phenoxide ion as an η⁵-bonded oxocyclohexadienyl ligand. I-IV have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, as well as by two X-ray structure determinations of the CO/PPh₃ and cyclo-C₈H₁₂ substituted half-sandwich derivatives I and IV.     

Alkyl- und aryl-komplexe des iridiums und rhodiums: X. Chelatphosphin-stabilisierte rhodiumorganyle Rh(R)[PhP(CH2CH2CH2PPh2)2]: synthese,NMR-spektroskopischer cis,trans-einfluss und molekülstruktur von Rh(2-MeC6H4)[PhP(CH2CH2CH2PPh2)2]

The organorhodium(I) complexes Rh(R)[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂] (R  CH₂CMe₃, CH₂SiMe₃; 2-MeC₆H₄, 4-MeC₆H₄, 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃, 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂; C₂Ph) have been prepared and characterized by ³¹P and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and an X-ray structure determination of the tolyl derivative Rh(2-MeC₆H₄)-[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂].For these compounds, the relative ³¹P coordination shifts Δ(PPh₂) > Δ(PPh) distinctly reflect the electron-releasing properties of the organoligands σ-bonded trans to PPh. As expected, coupling between the ¹⁰³Rh nucleus and phenylphosphino P atoms is weak and varies only little as the strong trans influence groups R are changed. In contrast to this insensitivity of ¹J(Rh-PPh) to R, Rh-P coupling within the Ph₂P-Rh-PPh₂ moieties shows considerable dependence upon the nature of the C-donor producing the cis influence series sp³-C <sp²-C < sp-C.The ortho-tolyl complex crystallizes from toluene as 1/1 solvate Rh(2-MeC₆H₄)[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂] · C₇H₈. Crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbc2₁, with a 1017.9(7), b 1974.3(14), c 2177.6(11) pm, and Z = 4. The structure has been refined to R = 0.079 for 2249 unique data with F₀ > 3σ(F₀). Metal-phosphorus distances are 225.7(5) and 229.6(6) pm for Rh-PPh₂ and 227.3(6) pm for Rh-PPh.     

Alkyl- und Arylkomplexe des Iridiums und Rhodiums. XIX. Reaktion von Carbonsäuren mit ausgewählten Organoverbindungen von Ir(I) und Rh(I): Bildung von Arylhydrido-, Carboxylatohydrido- und Carboxylato-Derivaten

Alkyl and Aryl Complexes of Iridium and Rhodium. XIX. Reaction of Carboxylic Acids with Selected Organo Compounds of Ir(I) and Rh(I): Formation of Arylhydrido, Carboxylatohydrido, and Carboxylato Derivatives cis-Arylhydridoiridium(III) complexes IrH(Ar)(O₂CR)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (R = Me: Ar = C₆H₅, 4-MeC₆H₄; R = Et: Ar = 4-MeC₆H₄, 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃) could be prepared by oxidative addition of carboxylic acids to aryliridium(I) compounds Ir(Ar)(CO)(PPh₃)₂. Reaction of aliphatic carboxylic acids with alkyliridium(I) derivatives Ir(Alk)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ and Ir(Alk)[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂] (Alk = CH₂CMe₃, CH₂SiMe₃) lead to dicarboxylatoiridium(III) hydrides IrH(O₂CR)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (R = Me, Et, i-Pr) and IrH(O₂CR)₂[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂] (R = Me, Et). Ir(4-MeC₆H₄CO₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ was obtained from Ir(CH₂SiMe₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ and 4-MeC₆H₄CO₂H. Interaction of organorhodium complexes Rh(R′)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (R′ = CH₂SiMe₃, 4-MeC₆H₄) and Rh(R′)[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂] (R′ = CH₂CMe₃, 4-MeC₆H₄) with aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids yielded carboxylatorhodium(I) compounds Rh(O₂CR)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (R = Me, t-Bu, 4-MeC₆H₄) and Rh(O₂CR)[PhP(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂] (R = Me, 4-MeC₆H₄).     

Acetonitrile and triphenylphosphine oxide complexes of the uranium pentafluoride - antimony pentafluoride and uranium tetrafluoride oxide - antimony pentafluoride adducts

The new ternary adducts, UF₄O·SbF₅·2CH₃CN, UF₄O·2SbF₅·6L, UF₅·SbF₅· 2L (L = CH₃CN or (C₆H₅)₃PO) and UF₅·2SbF₅·5CH₃CN, have been prepared and studied by infrared, ¹⁹F n.m.r. and e.s.r. spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction and chemical analysis. The infrared spectra strongly suggest an ionic formulation with the uranium cationic species preferentially coordinated by the organic ligand.     

SYNTHESIS OF MONOSUBSTITUTED PENTAKIS(2,6-DIETHYLPHENYLISO CYANIDE)- COBALT(I) COMPLEXES WITH BIDENTATE TERTIARY PHOSPHINE LIGANDS. I. MONOMETALLIC COMPLEXES

Abstract

Reaction of [Co(CNC₆H₃Et₂-2,6)5]BF₄ with bidentate phosphines leads to monosubstituted Co(I) complexes, [Co(CNC₆H₃Et₂-2,6)₄(L-L)]BF4, where L-L = Ph₂P(CH₂)n PPh₂, n = 1-4,6; Ph₂PCH₂-CH₂AsPh₂, Ph₂PC₆H₄PPh₂-p, Ph₂PCH[dbnd]CHPPh₂-trans. Reaction conditions are such that disubstitution would be possible, but bidentate bridging to form bimetallic complexes is not favoured. Comparison of v([sbnd]N°C) IR, electronic spectra, and molar conductivities with values for [Co(CNC₆H₃Et₂-2,6)4L]X, where X = ClO₄, BF₄; L = monodentate triarylphosphine; indicates that these new complexes must also be five-coordinate Co(I) complexes, in which the potentially bidentate phosphine ligands are coordinated through only one P atom. Structures are approximately trigonal bipyramidal in solution and the solid state, with the phosphine ligand occupying an axial position.     

Ru–η6‐Arene Cations [{(Ph2PC6H4)2B(η6‐Ph)}RuX]+ (X=Cl,H) as Lewis Acids

The reactivity of [{(Ph₂PC₆H₄)₂B(η⁶‐Ph)}RuCl][B(C₆F₅)₄] ( 1 ) as a Lewis acid was investigated. Treatment of 1 with mono and multidentate phosphorus Lewis bases afforded the Lewis acid–base adducts with the ortho‐carbon atom of the coordinated arene ring. Similar reactivity was observed upon treatment with N‐heterocyclic carbenes; however, adduct formation occurred at both ortho‐ and para‐carbon atoms of the bound arene with the para‐position being favoured by increased steric demands. Interestingly treatment with isocyanides resulted in adduct formation with the B‐centre of the ligand framework. The hydride‐cation [{(Ph₂PC₆H₄)₂B(η⁶‐Ph)}RuH] [B(C₆F₅)₄] was prepared via reaction of 1 with silane. This species in the presence of a bulky phosphine behaves as a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) to activate H₂ between the phosphorus centre and the ortho‐carbon atom of the η⁶‐arene ring.     

31P-NMR-UNTERSUCHUNGEN AN ARYLOXY-PHOSPHONIUMSALZEN

³¹P-NMR-Messungen an CH₂Cl₂-Lösungen der Systeme R₃P/CCl₄/4-MeC₆H₄OH (R = Ph, Me₂N) liefern keinen Hinweis auf eine Beteiligung von Phosphoran-Strukturen bei der Bildung von Aryloxyphosphoniumsalzen aus diesen Komponenten oder auf das Vorliegen von Gleichgewichten zwischen Aryloxyphosphonium- und Phosphoran-Strukturen in

Lösung. Die δ ³¹P-Werte für Ph _n (Me₂N)_3-n P^⊕–Z SbClΘ₆ (Z = Cl, 4-MeC₆H₄O, 4-MeC₆H₄S; n = 0–3) werden mitgeteilt.

³¹P-NMR spectra of the systems R₃P/CCl₄/4-MeC₆H₄OH (R = Ph, Me₂N) in CH₂Cl₂ give no indication of the participation of phosphorane species in the aryloxyphosphonium salt formation or of the existence of equilibria in solution between aryloxyphosphonium and phosphoran species. δ ³¹P-chemical shifts of Ph _n (Me₂N)_3-n P^⊕–Z SbClΘ₆ (Z = Cl, 4-MeC₆H₄O, 4-MeC₆H₄S; n = 0–3) are reported.     

Synthesis,characterization, and electrochemistry of phosphine-substituted diiron butane-1,2-dithiolate complexes

Abstract

The reactions of the starting complex, [Fe₂(CO)₆{μ-SCH₂CH (CH₂CH₃)S}] (1), with the phosphine ligands tris(4-methylphenyl)phosphine, diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine, tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphine, 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde, or benzyldiphenylphosphine in the presence of the decarbonylating agent Me₃NO·2H₂O yielded the corresponding phosphine-substituted diiron butane-1,2-dithiolate complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(L){μ-SCH₂CH(CH₂CH₃)S}] (L?=?P(4-C₆H₄CH₃)₃, 2; Ph₂P(2-C₅H₄N), 3; P(4-C₆H₄F)₃, 4; Ph₂P(2-C₆H₄CHO), 5; Ph₂PCH₂Ph, 6) in 75%–87% yields. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, and ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy, as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Moreover, the electrochemistry of 2–4 was studied by cyclic voltammetry, suggesting that they can catalyze the reduction of protons to H₂ in the presence of HOAc.     

Synthesis and structure of chiral-at-metal complexes with the ligand (S)-2-[(Sp)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]-4-isopropyloxazoline

Half-sandwich complexes of formula [(ηⁿ-ring)MClL]PF₆ [L = (S)-2-[(S_p)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]-4-isopropyloxazoline; (ηⁿ-ring)M = (η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh; (η⁵-C₅Me₅)Ir; (η⁶-p-MeC₆H₄iPr)Ru; (η⁶-p-MeC₆H₄iPr)Os] have been prepared and spectroscopically characterised. The molecular structures of the rhodium and iridium compounds have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The related solvate complexes [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)ML(Me₂CO)]²⁺ (M = Rh, Ir) are active catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction between methacrolein and cyclopentadiene.     

Iminophosphines: synthesis, formation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[1,3]azaphosphol-3-ium salts and N-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-diphenylphosphinoylaniline, coordination chemistry and applications in platinum group catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions and hydrosilylations

The aprotic and protic bi- and multidentate iminophosphines 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=CR¹R² (R¹=H, R²=Ph=2a; R¹=Me R²=Ph=2b; R¹=H, R²=2-thienyl=2c; R¹=H, R²=C₆H₄-2-PPh₂=2d; R¹=H, R²=C₆H₄-2-OH=2e, R¹=H, R²=C₆H₄-2-OH-3-Bu^t=2f; R¹=H, R²=CH₂C(O)Me=2g) have been prepared by the acid catalyzed condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline with the corresponding aldehyde–ketone. Iminophosphine 2d can be reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride to give the corresponding amino-diphosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N(H)CH₂C₆H₄-2-PPh₂ (2h). In the presence of a stoichiometric quantity of acid, 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline reacts in an unexpected manner with benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, or acetophenone to give the corresponding 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[1,3]azaphosphol-3-ium salts and with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde to give N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-2-diphenylphosphinoylaniline, the latter of which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, as its palladium dichloride derivative. The attempted condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde to give the corresponding pyridine-functionalized iminophosphine resulted in an unusual transformation involving the diastereoselective addition of two equivalents of aldehyde to give 1,2-dipyridin-2-yl-2-(o-diphenylphosphinoyl)phenylamino-ethanol, which has been characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The bidentate iminophosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)Ph reacts with [(cycloocta-1,5-diene)PdClX] X=Cl, Me) to give [Pd{2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)Ph}ClX] and the imino-diphosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)C₆H₄-PPh₂ reacts with [(cycloocta-1,5-diene)PdClMe] to give [Pd{2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)C₆H₄---PPh₂}ClMe] and each has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The monobasic iminophosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(Me)CH₂C(O)Me reacts with [Ni(PPh₃)₂Cl₂] in the presence of NaH to give the phosphino–ketoiminate complex [Ni{2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(Me)CHC(O)Me}Cl], which has been structurally characterized. Mixtures of iminophosphines 2a–h and a palladium source catalyze the Suzuki cross coupling of 4-bromoacetophenone with phenyl boronic acid. The efficiency of these catalysts show a marked dependence on the palladium source, catalysts formed from [Pd₂(OAc)₆] giving consistently higher conversions than those formed from [Pd₂(dba)₃] and [PdCl₂(MeCN)₂]. Catalysts formed from neutral bi- and terdentate iminophosphines 2a–d gave significantly higher conversions than those formed from their monobasic counterparts 2e–f. Notably, under our conditions the conversions obtained with 2a–c compare favorably with those of the standards; catalysts formed from tris(2-tolyl)phosphine and tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite and a source of palladium. In addition, mixtures of [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ and 2a–h are active for the hydrosilylation of acetophenone; in this case catalysts formed from monobasic iminophosphines 2e–f giving the highest conversions.     

Zur Umsetzung von Bis(2-mercaptoethyl)phosphinen mit Organozinn-Verbindungen Molekülstruktur eines zinnhaltigen Sechzehnringes

Reaction of Bis(2-mercaptoethyl)phosphines with Organotin Compounds. Molecular Structure of a Tin Containing Sixteen-membered Ring The reaction of bis(2-mercaptoethyl)phosphine with di-t-butyltin dimethoxide yields mixture of oligomers of the type [t-Bu₂Sn(SCH₂CH₂)₂Pr]_n (R ? Me, Ph) from which the trans-configurated dimers (n = 2) have been isolated. By the reaction with sulphur and selenium, respectively, these dimers were transformed to the corresponding thioxo and selenoxo derivatives. The sixteen-membered ring trans-[t-Bu₂Sn(SCH₂CH₂)₂P(S)Ph]₂ crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with the unit cell dimensions a 1350.9, b 1310.2, c 1500.3 pm, β 96.36° and does not exhibit any intramolecular Sn? P interaction: The 1,5-diorgano-1-chloro-5-elementa-1-stanna(IV)-bicyclo-[3.3.0^1,5]octanes R(Cl)Sn(SCH₂CH₂)₂E ( 6 , R ? Ph, E ? PPh; 7 , R ? Ph, E ? NMe) have been prepared from the corresponding sodium dithiolates and phenyltrichlorostannane. The transannulare Sn? P and Sn? N interactions in 6 and 7 are confirmed by ³¹P and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR investigations.     

Tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts: 2,8,9-Trihydroprotatranes

New method of synthesis of tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts, 2,8,9-trihydroprotatranes X-[HN(CH₂CH₂OH)₃]⁺, based on the reaction of tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine (triethanolamine) with ammonium salts NH₄X (X = F, Cl, Br, I, NO₃, ClO₄) was developed. ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N NMR and IR spectra of these protatranes were investigated, as well as those of their analogs with X = RCH₂COO (R = H; 2-MeC₆H₄O; 2-Me-4ClC₆H₃O; 2-MeC₆H₄S; 4-ClC₆H₄S; 4-ClC₆H₄SO₂; 3-IndS; 3-(PhCH₂-IndS) prepared from the corresponding acids RCH₂COOH and triethanolamine. The parameters of IR and NMR spectra of the studied protatranes were governed by the nature of substituent X, which also determined the character of the intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds NH⋯O and OH⋯O in the protatrane framework.
