Synthesis and structural characterisation of zinc complexes bearing furanylmethyl and thiophenylmethyl derivatives of (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexanes for stereoselective polymerisation of poly(rac-lactide)
摘要:
Novel dichloro zinc complexes based on enantiopure N,N-diamine ligands bearing furanylmethyl and thiophenylmethyl pendent groups were synthesised, and their crystal structures were determined using X-ray crystallography. The isopropoxide derivatives (generated in situ) of these well-characterised complexes efficiently catalysed the ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of rac-lactide (rac-LA) at two different temperatures under controlled conditions. Highly heterotactic polylactide (PIA) was obtained with P-r = 0.80 at -25 degrees C in THF. Crown Copyright (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and structural characterisation of copper complexes containing methylthiophene and methylfuryl derivatives of (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane as precatalysts for polymerisation of rac-lactide
摘要:
A series of Cu(II) complexes supported by methylthiophenyl-and methylfuryl-based (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane frameworks were synthesised. The synthesised complexes were characterised using infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The isopropoxide derivatives of the complexes were employed in the ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of rac-lactide (rac-LA), yielding polylactides with high number-averaged molecular weight. The catalytic species in this study effectively mediated the stereoselective ROP of rac-LA in a physiological manner (P-r up to 0.92 at room temperature), with ROP activity being mainly dependent on steric hindrance and geometric constraints imposed by methyl substituents attached to the methylthiophenyl and methylfuryl ligands.

Two novel dichloro Cu(II) complexes of (R,R)-N-1,N-2-bis((5-methylthiophen-2-yl)methyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (MTCHD) and (R,R)-N-1,N-2-bis((5-methylfuran-2-yl)methyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (MFCHD) ligands have been synthesised and structurally characterised using X-ray diffraction. The geometry around the Cu(II) centres was distorted square planner. A strong Cu center dot center dot center dot O-furanyl interaction exists in Cu(MFCHD)Cl-2 that leads to the disappearance of original C-2-symmetry of the ligand, resulting in selective R,S-coordination of N atoms in (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. Catalytic activities of dichloro and diacetato Cu(II) complexes with 3 mol% of iPr(2)NEt were assessed in asymmetric Henry reactions that resulted in moderate to high yields with an enantiomeric excess up to 92%, without air/moisture exclusion.
