Studies of the stoichiometric and catalytic reactivity of a geometrically constrained phosphorous triamide 1 with pinacolborane (HBpin) are reported. The addition of HBpin to phosphorous triamide 1 results in cleavage of the B-H bond of pinacolborane through addition across the electrophilic phosphorus and nucleophilic N-methylanilide sites in a cooperative fashion. The kinetics of this process of were investigated by NMR spectroscopy, with the determined overall second-order empirical rate law given by ν = -k[1][HBpin], where k = 4.76 × 10-5 M-1 s-1 at 25 °C. The B-H bond activation process produces P-hydrido-1,3,2-diazaphospholene intermediate 2, which exhibits hydridic reactivity capable of reacting with imines to give phosphorous triamide intermediates, as confirmed by independent synthesis. These phosphorous triamide intermediates are typically short lived, evolving with elimination of the N-borylamine product of imine hydroboration with regeneration of the deformed phosphorous triamide 1. The kinetics of this latter process are shown to be first-order, indicative of a unimolecular mechanism. Consequently, catalytic hydroboration of a variety of imine substrates can be realized with 1 as the catalyst and HBpin as the terminal reagent. A mechanistic proposal implicating a P-N cooperative mechanism for catalysis that incorporates the various independently verified stoichiometric steps is presented, and a comparison to related phosphorus-based systems is offered.

A structureactivity study was carried out for Ni catalyzed alkylalkyl Kumada-type cross coupling reactions. A series of new nickel(II) complexes including those with tridentate pincer bis(amino)amide ligands (RN2N) and those with bidentate mixed amino-amide ligands (RNN) were synthesized and structurally characterized. The coordination geometries of these complexes range from square planar, tetrahedral, to square pyramidal. The complexes had been examined as precatalysts for cross coupling of nonactivated alkyl halides, particularly secondary alkyl iodides, with alkyl Grignard reagents. Comparison was made to the results obtained with the previously reported Ni pincer complex [( MeN2N)NiCl]. A transmetalation site in the precatalysts is necessary for the catalysis. The coordination geometries and spin-states of the precatalysts have a small or no influence. The work led to the discovery of several well-defined Ni catalysts that are significantly more active and efficient than the pincer complex [(MeN2N)NiCl] for the coupling of secondary alkyl halides. The best two catalysts are [(HNN)Ni(PPh3)Cl] and [(HNN)Ni(2,4-lutidine)Cl]. The improved activity and efficiency was attributed to the fact that phosphine and lutidine ligands in these complexes can dissociate from the Ni center during catalysis. The activation of alkyl halides was shown to proceed via a radical mechanism.
