摘要:
The heteroditopic, P-N-chelating ligand diphenylphosphino(phenyl pyridin-2-yl methylene)amine (1) has been synthesised via a simple 'one-pot' procedure and its donor characteristics assessed. The neutral [MX(Y)(1-kappa(2)-P-N)] (3, M = Rh, X = Cl, Y=CO; 4, M = Pd, X = Y = Cl; 5, M = Pd, X = Cl, Y = Me; 6, M = Pt, X = Y = Cl; 7, M = Pt, X = Cl, Y = Me; 8, M = Pt, X = Y = Me) and cationic [Pd(Me)(MeCN)(1-kappa(2)-P-N)[Z] (9, Z = B{3,5-(CF3)(2)-C6H3}4; 10, Z= PF6 Complexes of 1 have been prepared and characterised . The solid-state structures of complexes 3, 4, 6 and 7 have been established by X-ray crystallography. Reactions of [PdCl(Me)(1-kappa(2)-P-N)] towards CO and 'BuNC have been investigated, affording the corresponding eta(1)-acyl (12) and -iminoacyl (14) complexes, respectively. Similar insertion chemistry is observed for the cationic derivative 9. Treatment of the acyl complex 12 with ethene at elevated pressure establishes an equilibrium between the starting material and the product resulting from insertion, 13. Under catalytic conditions, combination of palladium(II) with 1 in MeOH affords a selective initiator for the formation of 4-oxo-hexanoic acid methyl ester (15) from CO/ethene (38 bar, 90 degrees C) (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
