Cyclometalation of 6-Phenyl-2,2′-Bipyridine and Iridium: Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity Studies
摘要:
Heating the potential tridentate 6-(4-R-phenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine ligand la (R = H), and derivatives 1b (R = CMe3) and 1c (R = OH), with IrCl3 hydrate in 2-methoxyethanol or acetone/H2O gave the unexpected bidentate cyclometalated NC dinuclear complexes [Ir(NC)Cl-2(C5H5N)](2) (2a-cPy), as the major product. Altering the ligand/metal ratio from 1:1 to 2:1 produced a mixture of bis-cyclometalated complexes, Ir(NNC)(NC)Cl (3a,b), with tridentate and bidentate binding modes. Using discrete Ir-I synthons, such as Ir(dmso)(3)Cl or [Ir(cyclooctene)(2)Cl](2), gave a complicated mixture of products. However, when [Ir(C2H4)(2)Cl](2) was used, then the desired tridentate cyclometalated Ir(NNC) complex Ir(NNC)Et(CH4)Cl (4) was synthesized cleanly. The dinuclear complex 2a-Py was converted to the corresponding mononuclear dichloride complexes Ir(NC)(NN)Cl-2 (5a) upon refluxing with 4,4'-di-tert-butylbipyridine in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA). Treatment of 5a with ZnMe2 gives Ir(NC)(NNtBu)MeCl (6a). Abstraction of the chloride with AgOTF yields Ir(NC)(NNtBu)MeOTf (7a). Complex 7a undergoes stoichiometric CH activation with arenes and shows catalytic activity for the H/D exchange between benzene and ( trifluoro)acetic acids.

A well-defined, thermal-, air-, and protic-stable, bis-bidentate, cyclometalated Ir(III) complex, Ir(NC)(NNtBu)CH3OTf, (2-CH3; NC = kappa(2)-6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine, NNtBu = kappa(2)-4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) has been shown to undergo oxy functionalization with oxidants such as PhI(X)(2) (X = OAc, TFA) to generate CH3X (X = OAc, TFA, OTf) in yields ranging from 36 to 67% in CH2Cl2 at ambient temperatures. 2-CH3 is also competent for CH activation, undergoing stoichiometric CH activation in benzene, and catalyzes the H/D exchange reaction between benzene and acids (acetic and trifluoroacetic acid).
