Synthesis of Propargyl-Functionalized NHC Gold Complexes
摘要:
A series of propargyl functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene gold(I) complexes have been synthesized from the corresponding imidazolium salts with tetrabutylammonium acetylacetonate in the presence of a gold(I) precursor in a one-pot reaction. Several complexes of different stoichiometries are described: [AuBr(NHC)], [Au(NHC)(2)]Br and [Au(C6F5)(NHC)], and many of these have been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. Aurophilic interactions are present in the compounds bearing less sterically hindered carbenes, and secondary interactions such as hydrogen bonds, pi-pi stacking, or weak contacts of the gold center with the carbon of the propargyl unit have also been found. These complexes possess a high degree of water solubility, which makes them potentially useful for the synthesis of biologically active compounds or as gold catalysts in water. Activation of the propargyl unit in [AuBr(NHC)] complexes leads to the formation of interesting trimers with bridging bidentate C boolean AND C alkynyl-carbene ligands.

tris-azolium precursor 1 with palladium acetate under thermal conditions provided a CCC-pincer palladium(II) complex (2) bearing three NHCs (one imidazolylidene and two triazolylidenes) and one iodide ligand. Further treatment of complex2 with an excess of AgSbF6 generates tris(carbene) dicationic palladium complex3 in which the iodine ligands are exchanged with SbF6 anions and the metal center is stabilized
One embodiment of the invention provides polyisobutylene (PIB) oligomers that are end-functionalized with ruthenium (Ru) catalysts. Such nonpolar catalysts can be dissolved in nonpolar solvents such as heptane, or any other nonpolar solvent that is otherwise not latently biphasic (i.e., if two or more solvent components are present, they remain miscible with each other throughout the entire reaction process, from the addition of substrate through to the removal of product). Substrate that is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent with the catalyst is converted into product. The lower solubility of the product in the nonpolar solvent renders it easily removable, either by extraction with a more polar solvent or by applying physical means in cases where the product precipitates from the nonpolar solvent. In this manner the catalysts are recycled; since the catalysts remain in the nonpolar solvent, a new reaction can be initiated simply by dissolving fresh substrate into the nonpolar solvent.

An electrochemical synthesis of gold(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene (Au-NHC) complexes has been developed in which the only by-product is hydrogen gas. This enables the clean Au-NHC complexes to be transferred directly to subsequent catalytic reactions without extra work-up. This telescoped methodology has been showcased for several mononuclear and dinuclear Au-NHC complexes in a catalytic vinylcyclopropanation

A convenient and easy-to-use protocol for the Z-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes was developed, using ammonium formate as the hydrogen source and the easily prepared and commercially available, highly stable complex PdC1(eta(3)-C3H5)(IMes) (1) as the (pre)catalyst. Combined with triphenyl posphine as an additional ligand, this system provides a robust catalytic synthetic method that shows little to no over-reduction or isomerization after full substrate conversion. The system allows the direct use of solvents and reagents, as received from the supplier without drying or purification, thus providing a practical method for semihydrogenation of a broad range of alkynes. The mechanism behind these high and enhanced selectivities was determined through a set of kinetic experiments.
