Nickel and cobalt complexes bearing β‐ketoamine ligands: syntheses,structures and catalytic behavior for norbornene polymerization

Late transition metal (nickel, cobalt) complexes (1, 2) with β‐ketoamine ligand (L) based on the pyrazolone derivative are synthesized by condensing 1‐phenyl‐3‐methyl‐4‐benzoyl‐5‐pyrazolone with p‐fluoroaniline, and then treating the β‐ketoamine (L) produced with the respective metal halide. The bis(β‐ketoamine)metal complexes can act as catalyst precursors for norbornene polymerization with activation by methylaluminoxane. The effects of the central metal variation in the complex on catalyst activities and polymer microstructure are described. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Interaction of diazoalkanes with unsaturated compounds

The stereochemistry of cyclopropanation of norbornenes with diazomethane in the presence of Cu, Pd, and Rh compounds has been studied. Stereoselectivity of the cyclopropanation depends on the nature of the transition metal and does not depend on its valent state or ligand environment. The reaction proceeds predominantly asexo-cycloaddition of the methylene fragment. The greatest amount ofendo-isomer (up to 47 %) is formed in cyclopropanation of norbornadiene andexo-tricyclo[3.2.1.0^2,4]oct-6-ene in the presence of Cu and Rh compounds.For part 11 see ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Pd(II) complexes bearing di‐ and monochelate fluorinated β‐ketonaphthyliminato ligand and their catalytic properties towards vinyl‐addition polymerization and copolymerization of norbornene and ester‐functionalized norbornene derivative

Fluorinated β‐ketonaphthyliminate ligand CF₃C(O)CHC[HN(naphthyl)]CH₃ ( L1 ) and Pd(II) complexes with dichelate fluorinated β‐ketonaphthyliminato ligand, {CF₃C(O)CHC[N(naphthyl)]CH₃}₂Pd ( C1 ), as well as with monochelate fluorinated β‐ketonaphthyliminato ligand, {CF₃C(O)CHC[N(naphthyl)]CH₃}Pd(CH₃)(PPh₃) ( C2 ), were synthesized and their solid‐state structures were confirmed using X‐ray crystallographic analysis. The Pd(II) complexes were employed as precursors to catalyze norbornene (NB) homo‐ and copolymerization with ester‐functionalized NB derivative using B(C₆F₅)₃ as a co‐catalyst. High activity up to 2.3 × 10⁵ g_polymer mol_Pd^?1 h^?1 for the C1 /B(C₆F₅)₃ system and 3.4 × 10⁶ g_polymer mol_Pd^?1 h^?1 for the C2 /B(C₆F₅)₃ system was exhibited in NB homopolymerization. Moreover, the Pd(II) complexes exhibited a high level of tolerance towards the ester‐functionalized MB monomer. In comparison with the C1 /B(C₆F₅)₃ system, the C2 /B(C₆F₅)₃ system exhibited better catalytic property towards the copolymerization of NB with 5‐norbornene‐2‐carboxylic acid methyl ester (NB‐COOCH₃), and soluble vinyl‐addition‐type copolymers were obtained with relatively high molecular weights (3.6 × 10⁴–7.5 × 10⁴ g mol^?1) as well as narrow molecular weight distributions (1.49–2.15) depending on the variation of monomer feed ratios. The NB‐COOCH₃ insertion ratio in all copolymers could be controlled in the range 2.8–21.0 mol% by tuning a content of 10–50 mol% NB‐COOCH₃ in the monomer feed ratios. Copolymerization kinetics were expressed by the NB and NB‐COOCH₃ monomer reactivity ratios: r_NB‐COOCH3 = 0.18, r_NB = 1.28 were determined for the C1 /B(C₆F₅)₃ system and r_NB‐COOCH3 = 0.19, r_NB = 3.57 for the C2 /B(C₆F₅)₃ system using the Kelen–Tüdõs method.

Cationic cyclopolymerization of divinyl ethers with norbornane‐, norbornene‐, or adamantane‐containing substituents: Synthesis of cyclopoly(divinyl ether)s with bulky rigid side chains leading to high glass transition temperature

Cationic cyclopolymerizations of 2,2‐bis(vinyloxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ( 1 ), 5,5‐bis(vinyloxymethyl)‐2‐bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene ( 2 ), and 2,2‐bis(vinyloxymethyl)tricyclo[3.3.1.1]^{3, 7}decane ( 3 ), divinyl ethers with a norbornane, norbornene, or adamantane unit, respectively, were investigated with the HCl/ZnCl₂ initiating system in toluene and methylene chloride at ?30 °C. All the reactions proceeded quantitatively to give gel‐free, soluble polymers in organic solvents. The number‐average molecular weight (M_n) of the polymers increased in direct proportion to monomer conversion and further increased on addition of a fresh monomer feed to the almost completely polymerized reaction mixture. The contents of the unreacted vinyl groups in the produced soluble polymers were less than ～10 mol %, and therefore, the degree of cyclization of the polymers was determined to be over ～90%. These facts show that cyclopolymerization of 1 , 2 , and 3 exclusively occurred and the poly(vinyl ether)s with the cyclized repeating units and polycyclic pendants were obtained with their molecular weights being regulated. BF₃OEt₂ initiator also caused cyclopolymerization of 1 , 2 , and 3 to give the corresponding high‐molecular‐weight cyclopolymers quantitatively. Glass transition temperatures (T_g's) of poly( 1 ) and poly( 2 ) were 165–180 °C, and T_g's of poly( 3 ) were 211–231 °C; these values are very high as vinyl ether polymers. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于导向策略的钯催化间位C(sp2)-H活化反应的研究进展

近些年来,基于导向策略的Pd催化间位C(sp²)-H键活化反应取得了重要进展.人们通过远程导向策略,针对不同底物发展了多种U型导向基,在一些单保护氨基酸配体(MPAA)的协助下,实现了多种底物的烯基化、芳基化和乙酰氧基化反应.最近,人们又将Pd催化导向邻位C-H键活化和Catellani反应相结合,使用结构简单的导向基实现了高选择性的间位C-H键的烷基化和芳基化反应.这两种策略均可用于一些生物活性分子或者药物分子前体的后期修饰与合成当中.本文将针对这一领域的最新研究进展做一概述.     

Polymerization of 5-norbornene-2-methyl acetate catalyzed by air-stable cationic (η-substituted allyl) palladium complexes of N-heterocyclic carbene

In situ generated cationic (η³-substituted allyl) palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes are air-stable active catalysts for the olefin polymerization of (bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)methyl acetate (5-norbornene-2-methyl acetate) (endo:exo = 7:3). Catalytic activities, polymer yields, molecular weights, and molecular weight distributions of polymers were investigated under various reaction conditions. The catalytic activity was highly dependent not only on the reaction condition such as a solvent or the reaction temperature but also on the structure of the catalyst that include substituents of the allyl group in the catalyst and the counter anion. As the bulkiness of the allyl group increased, the catalytic activity of the catalysts increased.     

Crystal Structure and Polymerization Activity of Bromo-（2-diphenylphosphino-N-（2-oxybenzylidene）-aniline）-nickel

The title compound,bromo-（2-diphenylphosphino-N-（2-oxybenzylidene）-aniline）- nickel,was synthesized by simple condensation of 2-diphenylphosphino-N-（2-oxybenzylidene）- aniline with NiBr2·6H2O and characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system,space group P1 with a = 9.756（2）,b = 10.232（2）,c = 13.313（3）A,α = 95.09（3）,β = 102.48（3）,γ = 95.45（3）o,V = 1283.5（4） A^3,C29H23BrNNiO2P,Mr = 587.07,Z = 2,Dc = 1.519 g/cm^3,λ（MoKα） = 0.71073 A,F（000） = 596 and μ = 2.402 mm^-1. The structure was refined to the final R = 0.0408 and wR = 0.0965 for 4507 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. Intermolecular π-π interactions （with distances of about 3.705 A） are pronounced in the crystal structure. Under methylaluminoxane （MAO） activation,the title compound was able to catalyze norbornene polymerization,exhibiting good polymerization activities.     

Evidence of the Quasi‐Living Character of the ansa‐Zirconocene/MAO‐Catalyzed Copolymerization of Ethylene and Norbornene

The kinetics of the ethylene‐norbornene copolymerization, catalyzed by rac‐Et(Ind)₂ZrCl₂/MAO, 90%rac/10%meso‐Et(4,7‐Me₂Ind)₂ZrCl₂/MAO and rac‐H₂C(3‐tert‐BuInd)₂ZrCl₂/MAO was followed by sampling from the reaction mixture at fixed time intervals. Catalyst activity, copolymer composition and molar mass were studied as a function of time. The polymers showed an unusually low polydispersity and a significant increase in their molar mass with time, suggesting a quasi‐living polymerization.     

Asymmetric Desymmetrization of Saturated and Unsaturated meso-1,2-Diols

An asymmetric desymmetrization of saturated and unsaturated cyclic and acyclic meso-1,2-diols has been developed from the ene acetals, prepared from the norbornene carboxyaldehyde and meso-1,2-diols. The intramolecular haloetherification of the ene acetals as a key step afforded 8-membered acetals in a stereoselective manner just by the reaction of norbornene olefin even when the ene acetals from unsaturated meso-1,2-diols having olefins in the same molecule were used. Subsequent reductive elimination, followed by protecting the hydroxy group and transacetalization, gave optically active 1,2-diol derivatives and the starting ene acetals in good yields.
