Phosphine Boranes in Coordination Chemistry: An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Chiral and Achiral Organophosphorus Pentacarbonyltungsten Complexes
摘要:
Organophosphorus boranes 1-6 and amine pentacarbonyltungsten complexes 14-20 react under mild conditions, to afford by Ligand exchange the corresponding W(CO)(5)(PR3) 21-26 derivatives in 63-92% yields. The use of piperazine 13 as a diamine tungsten substituent permits a tandem reaction which removes the borane group and leads to the formation of the corresponding organophosphorus tungsten complex. The stereochemistry of the formation of pentacarbonyltungsten complexes from tertiary chiral organophosphorus borane compounds proceeds with a high stereoselectivity and retention of configuration at the chiral P center.
The configurational stability of chlorophosphines is investigated. Several mechanisms involving chlorophosphine monomer, dimers, and adducts with HCl are evaluated by density functional theory calculations. The presence of HCl in the medium is found to catalyze the P-center chiral inversion at room temperature. The reaction involves a two-step mechanism with low transition states (10 kcal.mol-1) and
