Five-membered cyclopalladated complex containing bidentate phosphine ligands; Synthesis,characterization, and highly efficient Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

A nonsymmetric phosphorus ylide and its palladium(II) complex have been synthesized as potential catalytically active compounds. The reaction of 1 equiv nonsymmetric phosphorus ylide, Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)PhBr with [Pd(dppe)Cl₂], followed by treatment with 2 equiv AgOTf led to [(dppe)Pd(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)PhBr)](OSO₂CF₃)₂, which contains a five-membered P,P chelate ring on one side and a five-membered P,C chelate ring on the other side. The palladium complex was synthesized and investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV–visible, multinuclear (¹H, ³¹P and ¹⁹F) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electrospray ionisation-mass spectroscopic techniques. FT-IR and ³¹P NMR studies revealed that the phosphorus ylide is coordinated to palladium via the terminal phosphorus (P_c) of the ylide and methene group (CH). Suzuki reactions for varying aryl halides using the cyclopalladated complex as an efficient catalyst were performed. Various aryl halides were coupled with arylboronic acids in DMF, under air, in the presence of 0.001?mol% of the homogeneous catalyst to afford the corresponding cross-coupled products in good to excellent yields.

A new rhodium complex with a nitrogen‐containing bis(phosphine oxide) ligand has been synthesized. The complex was applied to hydroformylation of styrene and displayed high activity and regioselectivity towards the branched aldehyde, which was found to be higher than those of the tertiary bis(phosphine) analogue.

An efficient palladium-benzimidazolyl phosphine complex for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl mesylates: facile ligand synthesis and metal complex characterization

A new class of easily accessible hemilabile benzimidazolyl phosphine ligands has been developed. The ligand skeleton is prepared from commercially available and inexpensive o-phenylenediamine and 2-bromobenzoic acid. With catalyst loading down to 0.5 mol% palladium, excellent catalytic activity towards the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl mesylates is still observed. This represents the lowest catalyst loading achieved so far for this reaction in general. X-Ray crystallography shows that new ligand L2 is coordinated with Pd in a κ(2)-P,N fashion.     

A new phosphine oxide host based on ortho-disubstituted dibenzofuran for efficient electrophosphorescence: towards high triplet state excited levels and excellent thermal, morphological and efficiency stability

An efficient host for blue and green electrophosphorescence, 4,6‐bis(diphenylphosphoryl)dibenzofuran ( o‐ DBFDPO ), with the structure of a short‐axis‐substituted dibenzofuran was designed and synthesised. It appears that the greater density of the diphenylphosphine oxide (DPPO) moieties in the short‐axis substitution configuration effectively restrains the intermolecular interactions, because only very weak π–π stacking interactions could be observed, with a centroid‐to‐centroid distance of 3.960 Å. The improved thermal stability of o‐ DBFDPO was corroborated by its very high glass transition temperature (T_g) of 191 °C, which is the result of the symmetric disubstitution structure. Photophysical investigation showed o‐ DBFDPO to be superior to the monosubstituted derivative, with a longer lifetime (1.95 ns) and a higher photoluminescent quantum efficiency (61 %). The lower first singlet state excited level (3.63 eV) of o‐ DBFDPO demonstrates the stronger polarisation effect attributable to the greater number of DPPO moieties. Simultaneously, an extremely high first triplet state excited level (T₁) of 3.16 eV is observed, demonstrating the tiny influence of short‐axis substitution on T₁. The improved carrier injection ability, which contributed to low driving voltages of blue‐ and green‐emitting phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (PHOLEDs), was further confirmed by Gaussian calculation. Furthermore, the better thermal and morphological properties of o ‐DBFDPO and the matched frontier molecular orbital (FMO) levels in the devices significantly reduced efficiency roll‐offs. Efficient blue and green electrophosphorescence based on the o ‐DBFDPO host was demonstrated.

Neighboring group participation of phosphine oxide functionality in the highly regio- and stereoselective iodohydroxylation of 1,2-allenylic diphenyl phosphine oxides

Two sets of reaction conditions were established to enable the highly regio- and stereoselective iodohydroxylation of 1,2-allenylic diphenyl phosphine oxides, yielding (E)-2-iodo-3-hydroxy-1-alkenyl diphenyl phosphine oxides with very high stereoselectivity. The scope of this reaction was examined extensively. Notably, studies on the reactivity of optically active substrates indicated that the axial chirality in the starting allenes may be efficiently transferred to the center chirality of the products with no discernible loss of enantiopurity. Due to the importance of phosphine-containing compounds, both as reagents and ligands, this reaction shows potentials in organic synthesis. Investigations using ESI-MS technology on the (18)O-labeled product, which was prepared using (18)O-water as the solvent, indicated that the (18)O atom was bound to phosphorus in the final product and the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl comes from the phosphinyl functionality of the allene reactant. These results provided solid evidence for the formation of a five-membered cyclic intermediate from the neighboring group participation of the diphenylphosphinyl group. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the neighboring group participation of this type of group was observed.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of a highly conducting neutral nickel complex with a highly conjugated tetrathiafulvalenedithiolate ligand

A neutral nickel complex with the extended tetrathiafulvalene-4,5-dithiolate ligand benzotetrathiafulvalenedithiolate (btdt2-) is synthesized and characterized. From the structural analysis, the neighboring molecules in this complex are stacked in a different way compared to the previously reported single-component metal [Ni(tmdt)2]. The computational studies confirm that the difference in molecular packing results in the variance of conductivity.

Two new air-stable palladium(II) complexes containing a N₄-Schiff-base ligand have been synthesized and investigated as catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. The binuclear complex 2 has proven to be an excellent catalyst for additive-free Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl bromides in neat water at room temperature and aryl chlorides in aqueous-glycerol at 80 °C. Satisfactory to excellent yields of biaryls are obtained with a wide range of substrates with relatively low loading of catalyst.     

Alternating copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide with highly efficient and selective (salen)Co(III) catalysts: Effect of ligand and cocatalyst variation

Synthetic routes to a series of new (salen)CoX (salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-diaminoalkane; X = Br or pentafluorobenzoate (OBzF₅)) species are described. Several of these complexes are active for the copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) and CO₂, yielding regioregular poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) without the generation of propylene carbonate byproduct. Variation of the salen ligand, as well as the inclusion of organic-based ionic or Lewis basic cocatalysts, has dramatic effects on the resultant (salen) CoX catalytic activity. Highly active (R,R)-(salen- 1 )CoOBzF₅ (salen- 1 = N,N′-bis(3,5- di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) catalysts with [Ph₄P]Cl or [PPN]Y ([PPN] = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium; Y = Cl or OBzF₅) cocatalysts exhibited turnover frequencies up to 720 h⁻¹ for rac-PO/CO₂ copolymerization, yielding PPC with greater than 90% head-to-tail connectivity. Additionally, the (R,R)-(salen- 1 )CoOBzF₅/[PPN]Cl catalyst system demonstrated a k_rel of 9.7 for the enchainment of (S)- over (R)-PO when the copolymerization was carried out at low temperatures. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A soluble polyethyleneglycol-anchored phosphine as a highly active, reusable ligand for Pd-catalyzed couplings of aryl chlorides: comparison with cross and non-cross-linked polystyrene and silica supports

The so-called SPhos phosphine, an extremely active ligand in the amination and Suzuki coupling of sterically-hindered aryl chlorides, has been anchored on different supports such as non-soluble (cross-linked polystyrene) and soluble (non-cross-linked polystyrene and polyethyleneglycol) polymers, as well as high surface silica. SPhos anchored on polyethyleneglycol (PEG-SPhos) showed the best activity for both amination and Suzuki couplings. The PEG-SPhos ligand can be quantitatively recovered from the reaction mixture through precipitation with diethyl ether and recycled in four consecutive runs without loosing activity. ³¹P NMR spectra of the reused anchored ligand showed that deactivation of the PEG-SPhos ligand comes from the progressive oxidation of the phosphine-to-phosphine oxide.     

A simple and highly efficient route to the synthesis of NaLnF(4)-Ag hybrid nanorice with excellent SERS performances

This paper reports the synthesis of a new class of NaLnF(4)-Ag (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho) hybrid nanorice and its application as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate in chemical analyses. Rice-shaped NaLnF(4) nanoparticles as templates are prepared by a modified hydrothermal method. Then, the NaLnF(4) nanorice particles are decorated with Ag nanoparticles by magnetron sputtering method to form NaLnF(4)-Ag hybrid nanostructures. The high-density Ag nanogaps on NaLnF(4) can be obtained by the prolonging sputtering times or increasing the sputtering powers. These nanogaps can serve as Raman 'hot spots', leading to dramatic enhancement of the Raman signal. The NaLnF(4)-Ag hybrid nanorice is found to be robust and is an efficient SERS substrate for the vibrational spectroscopic characterization of molecular adsorbates; the Raman enhancement factor of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) absorbed on NaLnF(4)-Ag nanorice is estimated to be about 10(13). Since the produced NaLnF(4)-Ag hybrid nanorice particles are firmly fastened on a silicon wafer, they can serve as universal SERS substrates to detect target analytes. We also evaluate their SERS performances using 4-mercaptopyridine (Mpy), and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) molecules, and the detection limit for Mpy and MBA is as low as 10(-12) M and 10(-10) M, respectively, which meets the requirements of the ultratrace detection of analytes. This simple and highly efficient approach to the large-scale synthesis of NaLnF(4)-Ag nanorice with high SERS activity and sensitivity makes it a perfect choice for practical SERS detection applications.

Synthesis,characterization, and reactivity of monomeric,arylpalladium halide complexes with a hindered phosphine as the only dative ligand

We report the isolation and structural characterization of several monomeric arylpalladium(II) halide complexes containing tri-tert-butyl phosphine, 1-adamantyl-di-tert-butylphosphine, or 2-adamantyl-di-tert-butylphosphine. X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and theoretical studies indicated that the complexes may be stabilized by agostic interactions. For example, the distance from the closest hydrogen atom to the palladium metal center in the X-ray structure of the 1-adamantyl-phenylpalladium bromide complex 1 was 2.26(3) A. The calculated Pd-H distance of 2.28 A and harmonic vibrational frequencies were in agreement with the measured distance, but Wiberg bond indices indicated only weak M-H-C interactions. Addition of 2-adamantyl-di-tert-butyl phosphine to 1 led to ligand exchange and formation of 2-adamantyl-di-tert-butyl phosphine complex 2. Addition of P(t-Bu)(3) generated free aryl bromide and Pd[P(t-Bu)(3)](2). Reactivity of complex 1 with nucleophiles provided evidence of the intermediacy of these complexes in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Complex 1 reacted with amine and base to form the corresponding arylamine, with tert-butoxide to form the corresponding ether, with boronic acid and fluoride to form the corresponding biaryl, and with styrene to form stilbene. This complex also catalyzed the reaction of bromobenzene with diphenylamine in the presence of base to produce 94% of the amination product in 45 min at room temperature. This rate is comparable to the reaction rate of in situ generated catalysts.     

Asymmetric 1,4-addition of organoboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones and 1,2-addition to aldehydes catalyzed by a palladium complex with a ferrocene-based phosphine ligand

A combination of palladium with ferrocene-based phosphine ligand with a carbon–bromine bond was found to be a good catalyst for the 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones and the 1,2-addition to aldehydes. Using Pd(dba)₂ and (S,R_p)-[1-(2-bromoferrocenyl)ethyl]diphenylphosphine (S,R_p)-1, 3-phenylcyclohexanone was obtained from the reaction of 2-cyclohexen-1-one with phenylboronic acid in the presence of K₂CO₃ in toluene at room temperature after 3 h in 92% yield with 76% ee. In the 1,2-addition of 4-methylphenylboronic acid to benzaldehyde, 96% of (4-methylphenyl)phenylmethanol was afforded after 24 h, while the enantiomeric excess was only 6%.
