The 4-phosphacyclohexanones, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-phenyl-4-phosphorinanone (La), 1,2,6-triphenyl-4-phosphorinanone (PhLb), 1-cyclohexyl-2,6-diphenyl-4-phosphorinanone (CyLb) and 1-tert-butyl-2,6-diphenyl-4-phosphorinanone (BuLb) have been made by modifications of literature methods. Phosphines RLb are each formed as mixtures of meso- and rac-diastereoisomers. Isomerically pure rac-PhLb, rac-CyLb and meso-BuLb can be isolated by recrystallisation from MeCN. Heating mixtures of isomers of RLb with TsOH leads to isomerisations to give predominantly the meso-RLb. The complex trans-[PdCl2(La)2] (1) is readily made from [PdCl2(NCPh)2] but the analogous platinum complex 2 has not been detected and instead, cyclometallation at the 3-position (α to the ketone) in the phosphacycle occurs to give trans-[PtCl(La)(La–3H)] (3) (where La–3H = La deprotonated at the 3-position) featuring a [3.1.1]metallabicycle as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The analogous palladabicycle 4 has been detected upon treatment of 1 with Et3N in refluxing toluene. The type of complex formed by RLb depends on which diastereoisomer (meso or rac) is involved. rac-PhLb (a mixture of R,R- and S,S-enantiomers, labelled α and β) forms trans-[MCl2(rac-PhLb)2], M = Pd (5) or Pt (6), as mixtures of diastereoisomers (αα/ββ and αβ forms). The structure of αα-6 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Ligand competition experiments monitored by 31P NMR showed that Pd(II) and Pt(II) have a significant preference to bind rac-PhLb over meso-PhLb. meso-BuLb reacts with [PtCl2(NCBut)2] under ambient conditions to give the binuclear complex [Pt2Cl2(meso-BuLb-2′H)2] (7) where orthometallation has occurred on one of the exocyclic phenyl substituents as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. rac-BuLb reacts with [PtCl2(NCBut)2] to give a mononuclear cyclometallated species assigned the structure trans-[PtCl(rac-BuLb-2′H)(BuLb)] (8) on the basis of its 31P NMR spectrum. rac-CyLb reacts with [PtCl2(NCBut)2] in refluxing toluene to give trans-[PtCl2(rac-CyLb)2] (9) and the crystal structure of αβ-9 has been determined.
4-phosphacyclohexanones, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-phenyl-4-phosphorinanone (La), 1,2,6-triphenyl-4-phosphorinanone (PhLb), 1-cyclohexyl-2,6-diphenyl-4-phosphorinanone (CyLb) 和 1-tert-butyl-2,6-diphenyl-4-phosphorinanone (BuLb) 是通过修改文献方法制成的。磷化物 RLb 分别以中对映异构体和rac-对映异构体混合物的形式形成。通过从 MeCN 中重结晶,可以分离出异构纯的 rac-PhLb、rac-CyLb 和 meso-BuLb。用 TsOH 加热 RLb 异构体的混合物会导致异构化,主要生成中-RLb。反式-[PdCl2(La)2] (1) 复合物很容易从[PdCl2(NCPh)2]制得,但类似的铂复合物 2 还没有被检测到,相反,在磷环的 3 位(酮的 α 位)发生环金属化反应,得到反式-[PtCl(La)(La-3H)] (3) (其中 La-3H = La 在 3 位去质子化),具有 [3.1.1]金属杂环,这一点已得到 X 射线晶体学的证实。在回流甲苯中用 Et3N 处理 1 时,也检测到了类似的金属杂环 4。rac-PhLb(R,R- 和 S,S-对映体的混合物,标记为 α 和 β)形成反式-[MCl2(rac-PhLb)2],M = Pd (5) 或 Pt (6),为非对映异构体的混合物(αα/ββ 和 αβ 形式)。αα-6的结构已通过X射线晶体学确定。通过 31P NMR 监测的配体竞争实验表明,钯(II)和铂(II)更倾向于结合 rac-PhLb,而不是 meso-PhLb。介-BuLb 在环境条件下与 [PtCl2(NCBut)2]反应,生成双核复合物 [Pt2Cl2(介-BuLb-2′H)2](7),X 射线晶体学证实,其中一个外环苯基取代基发生了正金属化反应。rac-BuLb 与 [PtCl2(NCBut)2]反应,生成一种单核环金属物种,根据其 31P NMR 光谱,其结构为反式-[PtCl(rac-BuLb-2′H)(BuLb)] (8)。rac-CyLb 与 [PtCl2(NCBut)2]在回流甲苯中反应生成反式-[PtCl2(rac-CyLb)2](9),并确定了 αβ-9 的晶体结构。
