Study of the Bonding Properties of the New Ligands C5H3N(2-R‘)(6-CH2PPhR) toward Rhodium(I). Evidence for a Dynamic Competition for Bonding between O- and N-Donor Centers When R = o-Anisyl, R‘ = Me
摘要:
The bonding properties of the optically active chiral-at-P polydentate ligands C5H3N(2-R')(6-CH2PPhR) (R = Me, R' = H, Me; R o-anisyl, R' = H, Me) and the achiral ligand C5H3N(2-Me)(6-CH2PPh2) toward (COD)Rh+ are reported. The results show that steric hindrance of the 2-position of the pyridyl ring induces a labile character of the Rh-N bond. Moreover, for R = o-anisyl and R' = Me, a dynamic competition for bonding between the N-and O-donating centers is observed. Comparison of the solid state structures of complexes [Rh(COD)(C5H4N(2-CH2PPhMe)][BF4] and [Rh(COD)(C5H3N(2-Me)(6-CH2PPh2)][BF4] shows a significant bond lengthening of the Rh-N bond in the latter complex, consistent with its fluxional behavior observed in solution.

shown to be excellent nucleophiles, reacting via two-electron processes with a variety of electrophiles. A catalytic alkylation reaction was developed using an achiral ruthenium complex, which was then elaborated into a catalytic enantioselective synthesis of P-stereogenic phosphines. These useful and synthetically challenging phosphines can now be accessed in a single step from simple secondary phosphines
The synthesis of functionalized tertiary phosphine-boranes has been developed via a chemodivergent approach from readily accessible (hydroxymethyl) phosphine-boranes under mild conditions. O-Alkylation or decarbonylative P-alkylation product could be exclusively obtained. The P-alkylation reaction was found to proceed in moderate to very good yields and very high enantiospecificity (es >95%) using a variety of alkyl halides as electrophiles. The configurational stability of the sodium phosphido-borane intermediate was also investigated and allowed a deeper understanding of the reaction mechanism, furnishing secondary phosphine-boranes in moderate yield and enantiopurity.
