Diverse Structures and Remarkable Oxidizing Ability of Triarylbismuthane Oxides. Comparative Study on the Structure and Reactivity of a Series of Triarylpnictogen Oxides
摘要:
A systematic series of triarylbismuthane oxides was prepared in order to disclose their structure and reactivity, which have been compared with those of lighter pnictogen counterparts. X-ray crystallographic analysis of tris(2-methoxyphenyl)bismuthane oxide and tris(2-methoxyphenyl)stibane oxide revealed that they exist as dimers with a flat bis(mu-oxo) ring, implying that the polarized Bi+-O- and Sb+-O- bonds aggregate to attain electrostatic stabilization. In sharp contrast to their phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony counterparts, triarylbismuthane oxides are thermally unstable and possess a high oxidizing ability. In particular, the bismuthane oxides bearing ortho-substituted aryl ligands oxidized primary and. secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, with high efficiency under mild conditions.

Reactions of triphenylbismuth with sodium salts, acids, alkalies, and zinc are studied. In the first three cases Bi-O bond cleavage takes place, while zinc reduces the starting bismuth compounds to triphenylbismuth.
