Six-membered [C,N] cyclopalladated sym N,N′,N″-tri(4-tolyl)guanidines: Synthesis, reactivity studies and structural aspects
摘要:
Six-membered [C,N] cyclopalladated sym N,N',N ''-tri(4-tolyl)guanidines, [(ArNH)(2)C=NAr] (sym = symmetrical; Ar = 4-MeC6H4; LH24-tolyl) of the types [(C,N)Pd(mu-OC(O)R)](2) (1 and 2), [(C,N)Pd(mu-Br)](2) (3), cis-[(C,N)PdLBr] (4-7), and [(C,N)Pd(acac)] (8) were prepared in high yield by established methods with a view aimed at understanding the influence of the 4-tolyl substituent of the guanidine moiety upon the solution behaviour of 1-8. The composition of 1-8 was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of 1-6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Palladacycles 1-3 exist as a dimer in transoid conformation in the solid state while 4-6 exist as a monomer with cis configuration around the palladium atom as the Lewis base is placed cis to the Pd-C bond due to antisymbiosis. The NMR spectra of 1-8 revealed the presence of a single isomer in solution and this spectral feature is ascribed to the rapid inversion of the six-membered "[C,N]Pd" ring due to the presence of sterically less hindered and more symmetrical 4-tolyl substituent in the =NAr unit of the guanidine moiety.
