摘要:
Conversion of 2-methylquinolin-8-ol to 2-((diphenylphosphino)methyl)quinolin-8-ol (2; 61% overall yield) by protection, lithiation, phosphinylation, and deprotection is described. The corresponding acetate 3 reacts with the dimer [(cyclooctene)(2)Rh(mu-Cl)](2) (4) in a molar ratio of 4:1 within minutes at ambient temperatures. A single Rh bis(phosphine) acyl complex (13a) is obtained, whereas three diastereomers are possible. In 13a, one molecule of 3 is a spectator ligand coordinated through P, whereas a second molecule of 3 has undergone unprecedentedly rapid oxidative addition to the acyl-oxygen bond, providing a COCH3 ligand and the P,O,N-coordinated anion of 2. The stereochemistry of 13a (COCH3 and CI mutually trans) was determined by coupling information and 2D NMR experiments. The COCH3 ligand of 13a is unaffected by PhCH(2)NH(2) (room temperature, 6 h), and 13a is essentially unchanged after 7 days at 120 degrees C in C6D6. Interactions of 2 and 4 or its Ir analog 5 in a molar ratio of 4:1 give metal hydride complexes as single diastereomers, from addition of the O-H bond to the metal.
