A versatile rigid binucleating ligand for Rh2(μ-Cl)2 moieties: its application as a catalyst in hydrogenation and cyclopropanation
摘要:
A rigid non-deforming "MCl2M" binucleating ligand [7,8-mu-S(4'-C6H3(CH3))S-C2B9H10](-) able to held the two rhodium atoms in a cooperative distance has been synthesized. The original two bridging chlorides are retained in [Rh-2(C5Me5)(2)Cl-2{7,8-mu-S(4'C6H3(CH3))S-C2B9H10}](+). Hydrogenation of 1-hexene is 10 times faster with [Rh-2(C5Me5)(2)Cl-2{7,8-mu-S(4'-C6H3(CH3))S-C2B9H10}](+) than with [Rh-2(C5Me5)(2)Cl-4]. A hydrogenation mechanism has been proposed which assumes that [Rh-2(C5Me5)(2)(Cl)(H){7,8-mu-S(4'-C6H3(CH3))S-C2B9H10}](+) is the first generated species in the process.
