Synthesis and characterization of neutral and cationic diamino carbene complexes of gold(I)
摘要:
Bis(1-methylimidazolyl)aurate compounds were prepared by reacting 1-methylimidazol-2-yllithium and 1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yllithium with [AuCl(THT)](THT = tetrahydrothiophene). Protonation or alkylation of the aurates yielded bis(carbene) complexes of the type [Au{CNR(1)CR(2)N(Me)}](+)(2) (R(1) = H or Me; R(2) = H, R(3) = H or R(2)R(3) = C4H4). The reaction of 1-methylimidazol-2-yllithium with [AuCl(PPh(3))] afforded the same bis(carbene) cation after protonation or allkylation. Mono(diamino)gold(I)carbene complexes resulted from the sequential reactions of 1-methylimidazol-2-yllithium with [Au(C6F5)(THT)] or AuCN and CF(3)SO(3)Me or CF3SO3H. Complicating side-reactions such as homoleptic rearrangement and protonation on carbon rather than nitrogen were observed.
