Ferrous complexes supported by sterically encumbered asymmetric bis(arylimino)acenaphthene (BIAN) ligands: synthesis, characterization and screening for catalytic hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds

Six ferrous chloride complexes ((Ar-BIANX)FeCl2: Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dipp), X = F (1), Cl (2), Me (3); Ar = mesityl (Mes), X = F (4), Cl (5), Me (6)) supported by sterically bulky asymmetric bis(arylimino)acenaphthene (BIAN) ligands were prepared through the treatment of anhydrous FeCl2 with the corresponding ligands in a molar ratio of 1:1. The compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR, NMR and electrochemical methods. This series of complexes represents rare examples of structurally characterized iron compounds bearing asymmetric bidentate BIAN ligands. The complexes were tested for catalytic hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones at room temperature, and moderate to good yields of alcohol derivatives were obtained after hydrolysis workup.

Flexible Steric Bulky Bis(Imino)acenaphthene (BIAN)-Supported N-Heterocyclic Carbene Palladium Precatalysts: Catalytic Application in Buchwald-Hartwig Amination in Air

To achieve efficient palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction under mild reaction conditions with the flexible steric bulk strategy, a series of Pd-PEPPSI (PEPPSI: pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation, stabilization, and initiation) complexes C1-C6 were synthesized and characterized, in which unsymmetric flexible steric bulk was introduced on the N-aryl of ancenaphthyl skeleton. These well-defined palladium complexes were found to be excellent precatalysts for Buchwald-Hartwig amination of aryl chlorides with amines in air. The electronic effect of the Pd-PEPPSI complexes and the effect of ancillary pyridine ligands were evaluated, among which complex C3 exhibited the most efficiency. It was demonstrated that the cross-coupling products were obtained in excellent yields in the presence of 0.5-0.1 mol % palladium loading. A wide range of aryl- and heteroaryl chlorides as well as various amines were compatible. The oxidative addition of aryl chlorides is revealed to be the rate-determining step in the catalytic cycle. The catalytic activity can be enhanced by introducing electron-donating groups to the Pd-PEPPSI complexes. This type of Pd-PEPPSI precatalyst showed the most efficiency reported to date for the challenging C-N cross-coupling reactions requiring no anhydrous and inert atmosphere protections, suggesting flexible steric bulk as a promising catalyst design strategy.

2,6-dibenzhydryl- N -(2-phenyliminoacenaphthylenylidene)-4- methylbenzenamine nickel dibromides: Synthesis, characterization, and ethylene polymerization

A series of 2,6-dibenzhydryl-N-(2-phenyliminoacenaphthylenylidene)-4- methylbenzenamines (L1-L5) and the nickel(II) dibromide complexes thereof (C1-C5) were synthesized and fully characterized. The molecular structures of representative complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and revealed a distorted-pyramidal geometry at nickel. All nickel(II) procatalysts exhibited very high activity for the polymerization of ethylene, with activities as high as the range of 107 g of PE (mol of Ni)-1 h -1.
