Syntheses and characterization of [(η-C6Me6)Ru(μ-N3)(X)]2 (X = N3 and Cl) complexes and their reactions towards mono- and bidentate ligands

The reaction of the complex [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl}₂] 1 with sodium azide ligand gave two new dimers of the composition [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(μ-N₃)(N₃)}₂] 2 and [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(μ-N₃)Cl}₂] 3, depending upon the reaction conditions. Complex 3 with excess of sodium azide in ethanol yielded complex 2. These complexes undergo substitution reactions with monodentate ligands to yield monomeric complexes of the type [(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(X)(N₃)(L)] {X = N₃, Cl, L = PPh₃ (4a, 9a); PMe₂Ph (4b, 9b); AsPh₃ (4c, 9c); X = N₃, L = pyrazole (Hpz) (5a); 3-methylpyrazole (3-Hmpz) (5b) and 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazole (3,5-Hdmpz) (5c)}. Complexes 2 and 3 also react with bidentate ligands to give bridging complexes of the type [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(N₃)(X)]₂(μ-L)} {X = N₃, Cl, L = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) (6, 10); 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) (7, 11); 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) (8, 12); X = Cl, L = 4,4-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) (13)}. These complexes were characterized by FT-IR and FT-NMR spectroscopy as well as by analytical data.The molecular structures of the representative complexes [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(μ-N₃)(N₃)}₂] 2, [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(μ-N₃)Cl}₂] 3,[(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(N₃)₂(PPh₃)] 4a and [{(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(N₃)₂}₂ (μ-dppm)] 6 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Synthesis and resolution of 2-(diphenylphosphino)heptahelicene

Palladium catalysed Heck couplings have been applied to the two-step synthesis of a stilbene derivative bearing a diphenylphosphine oxide function which represents a suitable precursor for the photochemical generation of the corresponding [7]-helicene. After reduction of the phosphine oxide, resolution of the monodentate helical phosphine has been performed by means of the ortho-metallated (R)-1-(naphthyl)ethylamine-palladium complex. A ruthenium complex of (heptahelicen-2-yl)diphenylphosphine has also been prepared and fully characterized.     

PHOSPHINES SULFONEES ASYMETRIQUES V.ACINETIQUE DE SULFONATION DES PHOSPHINES

Abstract

La sulfonation de diphosphines de type-1,2, 1–3 et 1–4 (dppe, dppp, dppb) est ttudite. II est montré que la sulfonation est plus rapide pour les diphosphines-1,4 que pour les diphosphines-1,3 et 1,2. Les conditions permettant d'accéder à la tétrasulfonation sont précisées, ainsi que celles conduisant à un mélange riche en phosphées disulfoées. Cette étude a été étendue aux diphosphines chirales (Cyclobutanediop. BDPP, Chiraphos).

The sulfonation of 1,2, -1,3 and -1,4 diphosphines (dppe, dppp, dppb) is studied. It is shown that the sulfonation is faster for 1,4-diphosphines than for -1,3 and -1,2 diphosphines. The conditions affording the tetrasulfonation are described, and also those allowing the obtention of a mixture containing large amounts of disulfonated diphosphines. This study is extended to chiral diphosphines (Cyclobutanediop, BDPP, Chiraphos).     

4-Chloro-5-methyl-3-diphenylphosphino-1-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophosphinine as a bidentate P-ligand in a cis chelate Pt(II) complex

Double deoxygenation of a 3-phosphinoxido-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophosphine oxide (2) led to bisphosphine 3-2 with an inverted ring P atom. The reaction of bidentate P-ligand 3-2 with dichlorodibenzonitrilo platinum(II) yielded the mixture of a novel cis chelate complex (7 = PtCl₂(3-2)) and a cis bis(3-diphenylphosphino-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophosphininyl) complex (8 = PtCl₂(η¹-5)₂) containing two units of monodentate P-ligand 5.     

The chemistry of compounds of the type Ru(η---C5Me4Et)(CO)2X (X=Cl, Br or I)

The title compounds react with unidentate ligands, L, containing either phosphorus or arsenic donor atoms to yield the corresponding compounds of the type Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)LX; with didentate phosphorus donor ligands the major species formed is the bridged complex {Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)X}₂{Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh ₂} n = 1, X = Br; n = 2, X = Cl). In contrast, unidentate ligands containing nitrogen donor atoms such as pyridine did not react with Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂Cl although reaction with 1,10-phenanthroline or diethylenetriamine yielded the ionic products [Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)L]⁺Cl⁻ (L = phen or (NH₂CH₂CH₂)₂NH). Reaction of Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂Br with AgOAc yielded the corresponding acetato complex Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂0Ac. Ru(η⁵--- C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂X reacts with AgY (Y = BF₄ or PF₆) in either acetone or dichloromethane to give the useful solvent intermediates [Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂(solvent)]⁺Y⁻, which readily react with ligands L to yield ionic derivatives of the type [Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂L]⁺Y⁻ (where L = CO, NCMe, py, C₂H₄ or MeO₂CCCCO₂Me).

SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERS WITH PHOSPHONIUM END GROUPS BY ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION

The end groups of polymers prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), are well-defined and determined by the initiator used, at least one of them is a halogen end group. The halogen end groups can be transformed to other functionalities such as phosphonium salts as demonstrated in this paper. Kinetic studies with the compounds 1-phenylethyl bromide and methyl 2-bromopropionate, models for the polystyrene and polyacrylate chain ends respectively, indicated that bromine end groups were readily transformed to phosphonium end groups upon the addition of phosphines. Stability tests with the obtained phosphonium salts showed that 1-phenylethyl trialkylphosphonium bromide was stable, even at higher temperatures and in the presence of free phosphines. The stability of the propionate analogue was limited due to the presence of the ester group in the molecule. Polystyrene and poly(methyl acrylate) phosphonium salts were synthesized and the presence of the end groups was demonstrated by ¹H NMR and ESI-MS or MALDI-TOFMS.     

Structural and electronic trends in ortho-metalated dirhodium(II) complexes

Properties of chiral dirhodium catalysts with ortho-metalated aryl phosphine ligands have been studied by a computational quantum chemical density functional theory method. The main aim in the current work was to systematically modify the ligand core of the Rh₂(O₂C R)₂(PC)₂ catalysts (PC is ortho-metalated aryl phosphine) in order to find structural and electronic trends involved with the modifications. The strongest impact on the properties of the active rhodium site was found when electron-withdrawing groups were introduced in the ligand core. The computational approach offers a possibility for a stepwise study of the properties of the catalysts and therefore a tool for further design of the most effective structures.     

Dual-reagent organocatalysis with a phosphine and electron-deficient alkene: application to the Henry reaction

Triphenylphosphine in combination with methyl acrylate was found to be able to catalyze the Henry (nitroaldol) reaction of various aldehydes and α-keto esters to give the corresponding β-nitroalkanols in good to excellent yields, and a catalytic cycle involving a zwitterionic phosphine-alkene adduct was proposed for this dual-reagent organocatalysis according to the deuterium-labeling experiments with CD₃NO₂.
