Side chain functionalized η5-tetramethyl cyclopentadienyl complexes of Rh and Ir with a pendant primary amine group
摘要:
Conversion of 2-(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadien) ethylamine tautomere C5Me4H2(CHCH2)NH2 (1) with MCl3 center dot n H2O (M = Rh, Ir) under acidic conditions gives the respective mu-chloro-bridged chelates [(eta(5)-Me4Cp(CH2)(2)NH3)RhCl2](2)Cl-2 (2) and [(eta(5)-Me4Cp(CH2)(2)NH3)IrCl2](2)Cl-2 (3). The dimeric complexes are received as ammonium salts and thus display good solubility in strong donor solvents such as water and DMSO. Addition of triphenyl phosphine converts Rh-dimer 2 into the mononuclear phosphine complex 4. Under basic conditions, no intramolecular coordination of the pendant NH2 is observed and thus the primary amino group of 4 reacts selectively with succinic anhydride by formation of a peptide bond. Hence, the electrophilic metal center and the latent nucleophilic nitrogen, which represent complementary functionalities, can be addressed separately under the appropriate reaction conditions.

A simple high-yielding method for the preparation of a tetramethylcyclopentadienyl-NHC ligand is described. This ligand has been successfully coordinated to Rh and Ir. A related Cp*-NHC ligand with a -CH(2)CMePh- linker between the Cp* and the NHC is also described, together with its coordination to Rh and Ir. This latter ligand, affords the orthocyclometallation of the phenyl ring yielding a constrained
