In order to evaluate the potential for side reactions when using B-chlorocatechol borane (ClBcat) in stoichiometric or catalytic transformations involving metal phosphine complexes, we examined the interaction between ClBcat and a series of PR3 compounds. Reactions of ClBcat with the basic phosphines PMe3, PEt3, PMe2Ph and PBut3, in exactly 1 ∶ 1 stoichiometry, all afforded crystalline adducts of the form R3P·ClBcat, which have been characterised spectroscopically. All display broad singlets at room temperature in both 11B1H} and 31P1H} NMR spectra with no B–P coupling observed. The low temperature 11B1H} and 31P1H} NMR spectra, however, do show B–P coupling, suggesting rapid dissociation at room temperature. The compounds ClBcat, BrBcat, and the adducts between ClBcat and PMe3, PEt3 and PBut3 have been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In ClBcat and BrBcat, the halogen contributes little π-bonding to boron as the B–O bond lengths are identical in both compounds. The reaction of ClBcat with a small excess of PCy3 yielded Cy3P·ClBcat, which has also been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and shows considerable distortion. The reaction between ClBcat and the less basic phosphines PPh3 and PPh2Me yielded only the redistribution products R3P·BCl3 and B2cat3. In fact, reaction of all of the phosphines with an excess of ClBcat gave only redistribution products, although there was evidence for an intermediate in the 11B1H} NMR spectra, with PMe3 and PEt3. The isolated R3P·ClBcat adducts proved unstable, even at low temperature in the solid state, eventually leading to R3P·BCl3 and B2cat3. Reaction of ClBcat with NEt3 afforded Et3N·ClBcat, which was characterised spectroscopically and by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This adduct is stable both in solution and in the solid state.
为了评估B-氯儿茶酚硼烷(ClBcat)在与金属膦配合物的定量或催化转化中可能产生的副反应,我们研究了ClBcat与一系列PR3化合物的相互作用。在严格的1∶1化学计量比下,ClBcat与基本膦类物质如PMe3、PEt3、PMe2Ph和PBut3的反应,均生成了晶体形态的加合物R3P·ClBcat,这些加合物已通过光谱学进行了表征。所有这些加合物在室温下的11B1H}和31P1H}核磁共振谱中均显示出宽的单峰,未观察到B-P偶合。然而,在低温下的11B1H}和31P1H}核磁共振谱中确实出现了B-P偶合现象,表明室温下快速解离。ClBcat、BrBcat以及ClBcat与PMe3、PEt3和PBut3之间的加合物已通过单晶X射线衍射进行了表征。在ClBcat和BrBcat中,卤素对硼的π键贡献很小,因为这两种化合物中的B-O键长度相同。ClBcat与少量过量的PCy3反应生成了Cy3P·ClBcat,该加合物也通过单晶X射线衍射进行了表征,并显示出显著的扭曲。ClBcat与较弱的碱性膦类物质PPh3和PPh2Me反应仅生成了重分配产物R3P·BCl3和B2cat3。实际上,所有膦类物质与过量ClBcat反应仅生成重分配产物,尽管在11B1H}核磁共振谱中存在中间体的证据,如PMe3和PEt3的情况。分离得到的R3P·ClBcat加合物在固态甚至低温下也表现出不稳定性,最终会生成R3P·BCl3和B2cat3。ClBcat与NEt3反应生成了Et3N·ClBcat,该加合物通过光谱学和单晶X射线衍射进行了表征,且在溶液和固态中均表现出稳定性。
