摘要:
AbstractIn addition to the known 1,3,4,5‐tetramethyl‐2‐methyleneimidazoline (1a), which exhibits a highly polarized exocyclic C–C bond, a series of novel 2‐alkylidene‐substituted 1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazolines 1b–e were synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures of 1b, 1d, and 1e were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis and revealed an increase in the polarization of the exocyclic C–C bond with increasing steric demand of the 2‐substituent. On the basis of their ylidic nature, 1a–e show enhanced basicity and reactivity towards Lewis acidic centers. Treatment of 1a and 1b with [{RhCl(cod)}2] or B(C6F5)3 afforded complexes of the type [(L)RhCl(cod)] (4a,b), [(L)RhCl(CO)2] (7a,b) (L = 1a,b) or classical Lewis acid/base adducts [(1a)B(C6F5)3] (8a) and [(1b)B(C6F5)3] (8b). In contrast, complexes [(L)RhCl(cod)] with 1c and 1d as ligands are not stable, and imidazolium dichlororhodate salts 6a and 6b were isolated instead. Rhodium–alkyl complexes 5a and 5b are assumed to be intermediates in this decomposition process, and 5a was characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, treatment of 1c and 1d with B(C6F5)3 did not afford classical Lewis adducts, and instead imidazolium hydridoborate salts 9a and 9b are formed by hydride abstraction. Surprisingly, we found that 1e does not react with [{RhCl(cod)}2] and forms an abnormal Lewis adduct 10 when treated with B(C6F5)3.

polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) using a special class of alkene—N‐heterocyclic olefins (NHOs)—as catalysts is described. Manipulation of the chemical structure of the NHO organocatalyst allows for the preparation of the poly(propylene oxide) in high yields with high turnover (TON>2000), which renders this the most active metal‐free system for the polymerization of PO reported to date. The resulting polyether

used to prepare poly(propylene oxide) with a molar mass (Mn) >500 000 g mol−1, in some cases even >106 g mol−1, as determined by GPC/light scattering. This is achieved by combining the rapid polymerization characteristics of a zwitterionic, Lewispair type mechanism with the efficient epoxide activation by the MgII species. Transfer‐to‐monomer, traditionally frustrating attempts at synthesizing polyethers
使用基于N杂环烯烃(NHOs)和双(六甲基二硅叠氮化镁)(Mg(HMDS)2)的双催化装置制备摩尔质量(M n)> 500 000 g mol -1的聚环氧丙烷通过GPC /光散射测定,在某些情况下甚至大于10 6 g mol -1。这是通过将两性离子路易斯对型机理的快速聚合特性与Mg II的有效环氧化物活化相结合而实现的物种。传统上阻碍合成高聚合度的聚醚的传统尝试是转移单体,但实际上已被这种方法作为限制因素而取消。NMR和MALDI-ToF MS实验揭示了所提出机制的关键方面,由此聚合反应是由NHO通过对活化单体的亲核攻击而引发的,从而生成两性离子物质。该策略也可以扩展到其他环氧化物,包括功能化单体。
