Reactions of alkylalane diolates with water synthesis, characterisation and ε-caprolactone polymerisation activity of novel alane benzopinacolates
摘要:
1,1,2,2-Tetraphenylethane-1,2-diol (benzopinacole) reacts with R3Al to yield the trinuclear complexes {R5Al3[OC(C6H5)(2)C(C6H5)(2)O](2)} [where R = Me (1), R = Et (2)]. Reactions of compounds I and 2 with water results in an elimination of R3AI and formation of unusual binuclear products {R2Al2(THF)[OC(C6H5)(2)C(C6H5)(2)O](2)} [3 (R = Me), 4 (R = Et)] and a complicated mixture of R3Al hydrolysis products. Compounds were characterised by spectroscopy and crystal structures of 1-3 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Binuclear complexes 3 and 4 demonstrate efficient catalytic activity toward ring-opening polymerisation of epsilon-caprolactone. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
