IRON BISPHENOLATE COMPLEXES AND METHODS OF USE AND SYNTHESIS THEREOF

The present application, relates to iron bisphenolate complexes and methods of use and synthesis thereof. The iron complexes are prepared from tridentate or tetradentate ligands of Formula I: wherein R1 and R2 are as defined herein. Also provided are methods and processes of using the iron bisphenolate complexes as catalysts in cross-coupling reactions and in controlled radical polymerizations.

Efficient cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with alkyl halides by recyclable ionic iron(iii) complexes bearing a bis(phenol)-functionalized benzimidazolium cation

A novel bis(phenol)-functionalized benzimidazolium salt, 1,3-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)benzimidazolium chloride (H 3LCl, 1), was designed and used to prepare ionic iron(iii) complexes of the type [H3L][FeX4] (X = Cl, 2; X = Br, 3). Both 2 and 3 were characterized by elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The catalytic performances of 2 and 3 in cross-coupling reactions using aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides bearing β-hydrogens were studied. This analysis shows that complex 2 has good potential for alkyl chloride-mediated coupling. In comparison, complex 3 showed slightly lower catalytic activity. After decanting the product contained in the ethereal layer, complex 2 could be recycled at least eight times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

Catalytic alkylation of aryl Grignard reagents by iron(iii) amine-bis(phenolate) complexes

Reaction of n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H2L1, n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol), H2L2, and benzylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6- methylphenol), H2L3, with anhydrous ferric chloride in the presence of base yields the products, [FeL1(μ-Cl)]2 (1), [FeL2(μ-Cl)]2 (2) and [FeL3(μ-Cl)]2 (3). In the solid state, these complexes exist as chloride-bridged dimers giving distorted trigonal bipyramidal iron(iii) ions. Reaction of H2L1 with FeBr 3, however, results in the formation of a tetrahedral iron(iii) complex possessing two bromide ligands. The amine-bis(phenolate) ligand is bidentate in this complex and bonds to the iron(iii) ion via the phenolate O-donors. The central amine donor is protonated, resulting in a quaternized ammonium fragment and the iron(iii) centre possesses a negative formal charge. As a result, this complex is zwitterionic and formulated as FeBr2L1H (4). Complex 1 is an air-stable, non-hygroscopic, single-component catalyst for C-C cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides, including chlorides. Good to excellent yields of cross-coupled products are obtained in diethyl ether at room temperature. In some cases where low yields are obtained under these conditions, the use of microwave-assisted heating of the reaction mixture can improve yields. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.

Syntheses of 1-trifluoromethyl-2-naphthalenols via a novel construction of the naphthalene nucleus

A relative simple and efficient synthesis of the hitherto unknown 1-trifluoromethyl-2-naphthalenols is described.Easily acsessible benzoid precursors 6 and 7 were converted to the oximino-ketones 8 and 9 by nitrosation.A novel cyclization and hydrolysis a

6-(Lower alkoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1-naphthalenecarboxaldehydes

A process and intermediates for preparing 6-(lower alkoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid derivatives are disclosed. The derivatives are useful for preparing aldose reductase inhibitors. With reference to the process, 1,1,1-trifluoro-5-(2-methylphenyl)-2,3-pentadione 3-oxime is cyclized to give a key intermediate 3,4-dihydro-1-hydroxy-5-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)-2(1H)-naphthalenone oxime; and 3,4-dihydro-1-hydroxy-5-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)-2(1H)-naphthalenone is aromatized to 5-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)-2-naphthalenol with a dehydrating agent.
