Phosphorescent Cyclometalated Platinum(II) Imidazolinylidene Complexes

We present the synthesis and characterization of six novel bidentate (Formula presented.) cyclometalated platinum(ii) complexes derived from saturated N-heterocyclic carbene precursors, namely 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-4,5-dihydroimidazolium salts. The title compounds were then synthesized by a multi-step reaction, which includes an in situ generation of the silver carbene complex, followed by transmetalation to platinum and subsequent introduction of the β-diketonate ligand. Structural characterization by NMR experiments and solid-state structures prove the cyclometalation and the saturated backbone of the NHC motif. Photophysical and electrochemical properties of the platinum(ii) complexes were examined and studied in detail by DFT calculations. The title compounds are strongly emissive at room temperature in the sky-blue region of the visible spectrum and show quantum yields of up to 71 % in a PMMA matrix.

Reaction of 1,2-difunctionalized ethanes with aryl iodides in copper-catalyzed cross-coupling: Application to synthesis of phenols

A series of 1,2-difunctionalized ethanes, such as ethylene glycol, 2-aminoethanol, 1,2-diaminoethane, 2-dimethylaminoethanol N',N'-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine, were investigated to test the reactivity with aryl iodides in the presence of copper catalysts. Under the reaction conditions, they produce the various Cheteroatom cross-coupled products. Interestingly, ethylene glycol and 2-dimethylaminoethanol afforded mainly the phenolic compounds while the others produced different cross-coupled products. Although ethylene glycol and 2-dimethylaminoethanol resulted in the same product, their behaviors in the reaction were quite different: ethylene glycol appears to mostly act as the ligand and 2-dimethylaminoethanol appears to serve as both the ligand and reactant. This finding led to a copper-catalyzed synthesis of phenols using either ethylene glycol or 2-dimethylaminoethanol, which can be applied to a variety of aryl iodides, providing an alternative synthetic route to phenols.

Copper-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling reactions for the preparation of aryl diamines applying mild conditions

In this work, aryl diamines were prepared by C-N cross-coupling reactions between aryl halides and ethylenediamine. These reactions were successfully catalyzed by low quantities of Cu2O or CuO (1 mol %) employing low reflux temperature and low diamine excess. Products were afforded in good yields (up to 95%).

Synthesis and study of 1-aryl-1H-4,5-dihydroimidazoles

An easy synthesis of 1-aryl-1H-4,5-dihydroimidazoles 1 by cyclocondensation of N-aryl-N′-formylethylenediamines 2 is described. Such precursors were synthesized by selective formylation of N-arylethylenediamines 3 with p-nitrophenyl formate. Cyclizations were performed using trimethylsilyl polyphosphate. Chemical properties of compounds 1, typical of amidine system, were studied. Reaction of 1 with methyl iodide leads to the corresponding 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-4,5-dihydroimidazolium salts 5. Reduction of dihydroimidazoles 1 with sodium cyanoborohydride provides a convenient access to N-aryl-N′-methylethylenediamines 4.

The Use of 2-Oxazolidinones as Latent Aziridine Equivalents. 2. Aminoethylation of Aromatic Amines, Phenols, and Thiophenols

The utility of 2-oxazolidinones 1 as latent, carboxylated aziridine functionalities was examined.Reaction of 2-oxazolidinone (1a), 3-methyl2-oxazolidinone (1b), 3-(phenylmethyl)-2-oxazolidinone (1c), 3-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone (1d) 4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolidinone (1e), and 5-ethyl-2-oxazolidinone (1f) with aromatic amine salts, phenol, or thiophenols at elevated temperatures (> 130 deg C) afforded aminoethylated adducts.The aminoethylation occurred with concomitant loss of carbon dioxide to furnish variously substituted N-aryl-1,2-ethanediamines 4, 1-(2-phenoxyethyl)-2-imidazolidinone (8), or 2-(arylthio)ethanamines 9 on reactions of 1 with aromatic amine salts, phenol, and thiophenols, respectively.Imidazolidinone 8 is believed to be a secondary reaction product resulting from the condensation of the initially formed 2-phenoxyethanamine with starting oxazolidinone 1a.The aminoethylation reaction did not proceed with aliphatic amine hydrochlorides or alkyl mercaptans.Preliminary mechanistic pathways for these ring openings were also investigated employing a specific, C-5 deuterium-labeled oxazolidinone 1b-d2.Ring-opening experiments of 1b-d2 with N-methylaniline hydrochloride suggest reaction can occur through either a dioxazolinium 5 and/or 5 intermediate.In contrast, reaction of 1b-d2 with thiophenol suggests ring-opening to proceed only via the dioxazolinium pathway.

Aminoethylation process

2-Oxazolidinone or N-substituted derivatives thereof are reacted with aromatic amine hydrochlorides at elevated temperatures to produce 1,2-ethanediamines.
