Methyl iodide oxidative addition to monocarbonylphosphine [Rh((C4H3S)COCHCOR)(CO)(PPh3)] complexes utilizing UV/vis and IR spectrophotometry and NMR spectroscopy to identify reaction intermediates: R=C6H5 or C4H3S
摘要:
The chemical kinetics, studied by UV/vis and IR, of the oxidative addition of CH3I to [Rh((C4H3S) COCHCOR)(CO)(PPh3)], with R = C6H5 (Ph) or C4H3S, consists of three definite reaction steps and involves isomers of two distinctly different classes of a Rh-III-alkyl and two distinctly different classes of a Rh-III-acyl species according to the following reaction scheme:Rh-1+CH3 I[reversible arrow(K1,k1)(k-1){Rh-III-alkyl1]reversible arrow(K2,k2)(k-2)[Rh-III-acyl1]}reversible arrow(k3)(k-3)[R-III-alkyl2]reversible arrow(k4)(k-4) [Rh-III-acyl2]The molecular formulas of all the Rh-III-alkyl and Rh-III-acyl species are [Rh((C4H3S) COCHCOR)(CH3)(CO)(PPh3)(I)] and [Rh((C4H3S) COCHCOR)(COCH3)(PPh3)(I)] respectively, but the geometry is different due to different co-ordination positions of the ligands. The equilibrium K-2 was fast enough to be maintained during the Rh-I depletion in the first reaction step and during the Rh-III-alkyl2 formation in the second reaction step. A H-1 and P-31 NMR study of the oxidative addition of CH3I to the different isomers of [Rh((C4H3S) COCHCOC6H5)(CO)(PPh3)], containing an unsymmetrical beta-diketonato ligand, reveals the existence of at least two structural isomers for each reaction intermediate according to the following reaction scheme:[GRAPHICS]The observed rate of formation and depletion of the two Rh I isomers of the [Rh((C4H3S) COCHCO(C6H5))(CO)(PPh3)] complex, as well as the different isomers of each reaction intermediate, are the same, contrary to what was previously found for the formation of the alkyl2 isomers when R = CF3. All reaction intermediates are identified spectroscopically. (C) 2007 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
