HYDROGENATION CATALYST

Zinc complexes are described which find use in methods of selective hydrogenation of compounds which contain reducible double or triple bonds, such as the reduction of alkynes to alkenes. The zinc complexes have a general structure according to formula (I): (I) Methods of manufacturing such zinc complexes are also described.

Reactivity of (bi-Oxazoline)organonickel Complexes and Revision of a Catalytic Mechanism

Bi-Oxazoline (biOx) has emerged as an effective ligand framework for promoting nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling, cross-electrophile coupling, and photoredox-nickel dual catalytic reactions. This report fills the knowledge gap of the organometallic reactivity of (biOx)Ni complexes, including catalyst reduction, oxidative electrophile activation, radical capture, and reductive elimination. The biOx ligand displays no redox activity in (biOx)Ni(I) complexes, in contrast to other chelating imine and oxazoline ligands. The lack of ligand redox activity results in more negative reduction potentials of (biOx)Ni(II) complexes and accounts for the inability of zinc and manganese to reduce (biOx)Ni(II) species. On the basis of these results, we revise the formerly proposed “sequential reduction” mechanism of a (biOx)Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction by excluding catalyst reduction steps.

Neutral, cationic and anionic organonickel and -palladium complexes supported by iminophosphine/phosphinoenaminato ligands

We report a series of organometallic nickel and palladium complexes containing iminophosphine ligands R2PCH2C(Ph) = N-Dipp (Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl; R = iPr, La; R = Ph, Lb; and R = o-C6H4OMe, Lc), synthesized by ligand exchange or oxidative addition reactions, and we investigate the capacity of such ligands to undergo reversible deprotonation to the corresponding phosphinoenaminato species. In the attempted ligand exchange reaction of the nickel bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl precursor [Ni(CH2SiMe3)2Py2] with Lb, the iminophosphine acts as a weak acid rather than a neutral ligand, cleaving one of the Ni-C bonds, to afford the phosphinoenaminato complex [Ni(CH2SiMe3)(L′b)(Py)] (L′b = conjugate base of Lb). We disclose a general method for the syntheses of complexes [Ni(CH2SiMe3)(L)(Py)]+ (L = La, Lb or Lc), and demonstrate that iminophosphine deprotonation is a general feature and occurs reversibly in the coordination sphere of the metal. By studying proton exchange reactions of the cation [Ni(CH2SiMe3)(Lb)(Py)]+ with bases of different strength we show that the conjugate phosphinoenaminato ligand in [Ni(CH2SiMe3)(L′b)(Py)] is a base with strength comparable to DBU in THF. The acyl group in the functionalized aryl complex [Ni(p-C6H4COCH3)(Br)(La)] does not interfere in the iminophosphine deprotonation with NaH. The latter reaction affords the unusual anionic hydroxide species [Ni(p-C6H4COCH3)(OH)(L′a)]-Na+, which was isolated and fully characterized.

Benzyltriboronates: Building Blocks for Diastereoselective Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation

A highly diastereoselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction involving the tandem coupling of benzyltriboronates, enoates, and alkyl halides is described. This method was enabled by the discovery of α-diimine nickel catalysts that promote the chemosele

Decamethyltitanocene hydride intermediates in the hydrogenation of the corresponding titanocene-(η2-ethene) or (η2-alkyne) complexes and the effects of bulkier auxiliary ligands

1H NMR studies of reactions of titanocene [Cp?2Ti] (Cp? = η5-C5Me5) and its derivatives [Cp?(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2)TiMe] and [Cp?2Ti(η2-CH2CH2)] with excess dihydrogen at room temperature and pressures lower than 1 bar revealed the formation of dihydride [Cp?2TiH2] (1) and the concurrent liberation of either methane or ethane, depending on the organometallic reactant. The subsequent slow decay of 1 yielding [Cp?2TiH] (2) was mediated by titanocene formed in situ and controlled by hydrogen pressure. The crystalline products obtained by evaporating a hexane solution of fresh [Cp?2Ti] in the presence of hydrogen contained crystals having either two independent molecules of 1 in the asymmetric part of the unit cell or cocrystals consisting of 1 and [Cp?2Ti] in a 2:1 ratio. Hydrogenation of alkyne complexes [Cp?2Ti(η2-R1CCR2)] (R1 = R2 = Me or Et) performed at room temperature afforded alkanes R1CH2CH2R2, and after removing hydrogen, 2 was formed in quantitative yields. For alkyne complexes containing bulkier substituent(s) R1 = Me or Ph, R2 = SiMe3, and R1 = R2 = Ph or SiMe3, successful hydrogenation required the application of increased temperatures (70-80 °C) and prolonged reaction times, in particular for bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene. Under these conditions, no transient 1 was detected during the formation of 2. The bulkier auxiliary ligands η5-C5Me4tBu and η5-C5Me4SiMe3 did not hinder the addition of dihydrogen to the corresponding titanocenes [(η5-C5Me4tBu)2Ti] and [(η5-C5Me4SiMe3)2Ti] yielding [(η5-C5Me4tBu)2TiH2] (3) and [(η5-C5Me4SiMe3)2TiH2] (4), respectively. In contrast to 1, the dihydride 4 did not decay with the formation of titanocene monohydride, but dissociated to titanocene upon dihydrogen removal. The monohydrides [(η5-C5Me4tBu)2TiH] (5) and [(η5-C5Me4SiMe3)2TiH] (6) were obtained by insertion of dihydrogen into the intramolecular titanium-methylene σ-bond in compounds [(η5-C5Me4tBu)(η5:η1-C5Me4CMe2CH2)Ti] and [(η5-C5Me4SiMe3)(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2CH2)Ti], respectively. The steric influence of the auxiliary ligands became clear from the nature of the products obtained by reacting 5 and 6 with butadiene. They appeared to be the exclusively σ-bonded η1-but-2-enyl titanocenes (7) and (8), instead of the common π-bonded derivatives formed for the sterically less congested titanocenes, including [Cp?2Ti(η3-(1-methylallyl))] (9). The molecular structure optimized by DFT for compound 1 acquired a distinctly lower total energy than the analogously optimized complex with a coordinated dihydrogen [Cp?2Ti(η2-H2)]. The stabilization energies of binding the hydride ligands to the bent titanocenes were estimated from counterpoise computations; they showed a decrease in the order 1 (-132.70 kJ mol-1), 3 (-121.11 kJ mol-1), and 4 (-112.35 kJ mol-1), in accordance with the more facile dihydrogen dissociation.

Elongated Gilman cuprates: The key to different reactivities of cyano- and iodocuprates

In the past the long-standing and very controversial discussion about a special reactivity of cyano- versus iodocuprates concentrated on the existence of higher-order cuprate structures. Later on numerous structural investigations proved the structural equivalence of iodo and cyano Gilman cuprates and their subsequential intermediates. For dimethylcuprates similar reactivities were also shown. However, the reports about higher reactivities of cyanocuprates survived obstinately in many synthetic working groups. In this study we present an alternative structural difference between cyano- and iodocuprates, which is in agreement with the results of both sides. The key is the potential incorporation of alkyl copper in iodo but not in cyano Gilman cuprates during the reaction. In the example of cuprates with a highly soluble substituent (R = Me 3SiCH2) we show that in the case of iodocuprates during the reaction several copper-rich complexes are formed, which consume additional iodocuprate and provide lower reactivities. To confirm this, a variety of highly soluble copper-rich complexes were synthesized, and their molecular formulas, the position of the equilibriums, their monomers and their aggregation trends were investigated by NMR spectroscopic methods revealing extended iodo Gilman cuprates. In addition, the effect of these copper-rich complexes on the yields of cross-coupling reactions with an alkyl halide was tested, resulting in reduced yields for iodocuprates. Thus, this study gives an explanation for the thus far confusing results of both similar and different reactivities of cyano- and iodocuprates. In the case of small substituents the produced alkyl copper precipitates and similar reactivities are observed. However, iodocuprates with large substituents are able to incorporate alkyl copper units. The resulting copper-rich species have less polarized alkyl groups, i.e. gradually reduced reactivities.

Competitive-consecutive reaction of vinyltrimethylsilane with triethylsilane catalyzed by ruthenium complexes

A complex reaction of vinyltrimethylsilane with triethylsilane catalyzed by ruthenium carbonyl and ruthenium phosphine complexes and performed at 80-130 degC in air or oxygen-free conditions was followed by GC-MS.Catalytic examinations and identification of the products (I-X) allowed us to propose a general scheme for the competitive-consecutive reaction in which the complexes containing Ru-H and Ru-Si bonds play the role of key intermediates. ruthenium complex / dehydrogenative silylation / metathesis / vinyltrimethylsilane / triethylsilane

Electrosynthese en chimie organosilicique: silylation selective de polychloromethanes

Silylation by electroreduction of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or methylene chloride is more selective than the common organometallic route.Me3SiCCl3 (94percent) and (Me3Si)2Cl2 (68percent) were thus obtained from CCl4, Me3SiCHCl2, (94percent) and (Me3Si)2CHCl (56percent) from CHCl3 and Me3SiCH2Cl (90percent) from CH2Cl2.Complete silylation of polychloromethanes was also successful by electrosynthesis and gave satisfactory yields.

SILYL AND SILYLMETHYL RADICALS, SILYLENES, SILA-ALKENES, AND SMALL RING SILACYCLES IN REACTIONS OF ORGANOCHLOROSILANES WITH ALKALI METAL VAPOURS

Dehalogenation of the organochlorosilanes Me3SiCl (I), Me2PrSiCl (II), Me3SiSiMe2Cl (III), Me3SiCH2SiMe2Cl (IV), ClCH2SiMe3 (V), ClCH2SiMe2SiMe3 (VI), ClCH2Me2SiSiMe2CH2Cl (VII), Me2SiCl2 (VIII), MePrSiCl2 (IX), Me3SiCH2SiMeCl2 (X), Me3SiCH2CH2SiMeCl2 (XI), Me3SiCH2CH2CH2SiMeCl2 (XII), ClCH2Si(H)MeCl (XIII), ClCH2SiMe2Cl (XIV), ClMe2SiSiMe2Cl (XV), ClCH2CH2CH2Si(H)MeCl (XVI), ClCH2CH2CH2SiMe2Cl (XVII), ClCH2CH2OSiMe2Cl (XVIII), ClMe2SiCH2SiMe2Cl (XIX), ClMe2SiCH2CH2SiMe2Cl (XX), and ClMe2SiCH2CH2CH2SiMe2Cl (XXI) with K/Na alloy vapours at 0.1-1 Torr and 300-320 deg C yields products derived from the reactions of short-lived intermediates, such as silyl and silylmethyl radicals, silylenes, and sila-alkenes.In addition, small-ring silacycles of low stability are formed as the intermediates in some of the dehalogenation reactions.Combination and H-atom abstraction are the main reactions of silyl and silyl-methyl radicals.These radicals are not prone to decomposition reactions when C-H, C-C, or Si-C bonds are at the β(Si-Si) bond with the formation of Me2Si=CH2 and the trimethylsilyl radical.The generation of alkylmethylsilylenes is accompanied by their decomposition processes, which involves intramolecular β(C-H) insertion of alkylmethylsilylenes and 2+1>-thermocyclodecomposition of intermediate silacyclopropanes.The contribution of δ(C-H) and ε(C-H) insertion reactions is much less pronounced, and in the formation of five- or six-membered silacycles.We did not succeed in obtaining monosilacyclobutanes, as the intramolecular γ(C-H) insertion is not typical for silylenes with alkyl substituents.Dehalogenation of chloromethylchlorosilanes with alkali metal vapours yields sila-alkenes, and that of 1,2-dichlorodisilanes gives disilenes. 1-Methyl-1-silaethylene, obtained by this method, does not rearrange into dimethylsilene, but dimerizes to give 1,3-dimethyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane.The formation of 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexanes takes place due to subsequent radical addition at the silicon-carbon double bond and cyclization of 1,6-biradicals.Dehalogenation of organochlorosilanes XVI, XVII, and XX opens up possibilities for the gas-phase synthesis of small organosilicon heterocycles: monosilecyclobutanes and 1,2-disilacyclobutanes.A new, low-stability heterocycle, i.e. 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-disilacyclobutane, has been obtained, which enables a new, high polymer, polyethylenetetramethyldisilene, to be obtained.In the case of organochlorosilanes XVIII and XIX, cyclization is accompanied by secondary reactions of silacycles, rearrangements, dimerization, or decomposition.
