Rigid, Fluoroarene-Containing Phosphonium Borates and Boranes: Syntheses and Reactivity Studies
摘要:
The reaction of (C6F5)(2)B(OEt) with (Bu2P)-Bu-t(CH2Li) yields the cyclic phosphonium ethoxyborate (C6F5)(OEt)B(CH2)(C6F4)(PBu2)-Bu-t ([1]OEt) via B-C adduct formation and ortho-fluoride substitution. Treatment of [1]OEt with HCl in Et2O gives the chloroborate [1]Cl in almost quantitative yield. The reaction of [1]Cl with Li[AlH4] leads not only to the reduction of the B-Cl bond but also to the selective substitution of one fluorine atom on the tetrafluorophenylene bridge ([4]H). [1]Cl is readily transformed into [1]F, [1]OAc, and [1]OTf upon reaction with Tl[PF6], AgOAc, and AgOTf, respectively (OAc = acetate; OTf = triflate). [1]OTf represents a convenient storage form of [1](+), because its B-O bond is highly labile. The free Lewis acid [1](+) was prepared in the form of its aluminate salt [1](+)[Al((OBuF)-Bu-t)4](-). The phenyl derivative of [1]OEt, (C6H5)(OEt)B(CH2)(C6F4)1)(PBu2)-Bu-t ([5]OEt), is also accessible and serves as starting material for the preparation of [5]Cl and [5](+)[Al((OBuF)-Bu-t)(4)](-).
