Efficient Synthesis of N-Aryl Nickel(II) Carbenes by Protonation of Nickel(0) Isocyanide Complexes
摘要:
The new nickel isocyanide complex [Ni(triphos)(CN-xylyl)] (1) has been prepared by the reaction of Ni(COD)2, triphos (triphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine), and CN-xylyl (xylyl = 2,6-Me2C6H3) Complex 1 adds 2 equiv of HBF4 to afford a stable dicationic nickel carbene complex, [Ni(triphos)-C(H)N(H)xylyl](2+) (BF4)(2)(-) (2), in high yield. Nickel carbene 2 exhibits transfer hydrogenation of ketones.
