摘要:
First enantiomerically pure phosphapalladacycle bearing an asymmetric carbon directly bonded to a palladium atom as a single chirality source was prepared by the resolution of racemic dimer {Pd(eta(2)-L) (mu-Cl)}(2) (1), where L = 2-(Bu2PC6H4CHMe)-P-t, using (R,R)-stilbendiamine as an auxiliary ligand. Double recrystallization of a 1:1 mixture of diastereomers (S,RR)-4a and (R,RR)-4b from MeCN affords one of them, (S,RR)-4a, as a single isomer (>98% de, P-31{H-1} NMR data). Another diastereomerically pure complex, (R,SS)-4c, was isolated by the same method using (S,S)-stilbendiamine as a resolving agent. This diastereorner (R,SS)-4c was converted into the enantiopure dimer (R,R)-1 (>98% ee, P-31{H-1) NMR data) by the diamine protonation with dilute acetic acid at similar to 5 degrees C. Dimer (R,R)-1 is configurationally stable at high temperatures up to at least 110 degrees C. The absolute configuration of the C*-stereocenter in dimer (S,S)-1 was established by an X-ray diffraction study of its precursor (S,RR)-4a. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
