A group of chiral, dibasic, biaryl-bridged amido proligands containing peripheral methoxyphenyl (anisole) ligation are developed for the synthesis of new amide complexes of yttrium and lanthanum. A potentially tetradentate bis(amidoanisole) system L111 gives, on reaction with [YN(SiMe2H)2}3(THF)] a crystallographically-characterised bis complex [YL111(HL111)] presumably as a result of low steric demand, since a more bulky version L222 gives the target [L222YN(SiMe2H)2}(THF)]. The molecular structure of the latter reveals a similar cis-α structure to our recently reported Schiff-base analogue. Variable-temperature NMR studies are consistent with low rigidity in the molecular structure. A potentially tridentate, amidoanisolyl/amido proligand L333 gives complexes [L333MN(SiMe2H)2}(THF)n]
(M = Y, n
= 1; M = La, n
= 2). Chiral non-racemic versions of the above complexes were tested in the hydroamination/cyclisation of 2,2′-dimethylaminopentane to the corresponding pyrrolidine. Activities were relatively low compared to recently reported examples, and ee values were in the range 20–40% despite the well-expressed chirality of the catalysts.
一组包含外周甲氧基苯(阿尼索尔)配体的手性二元、双芳基桥接酰胺前配体被开发用于合成新的钇及铈的酰胺复合物。一个潜在的四齿双(酰胺阿尼索尔)体系L111与[YN(SiMe2H)2}3(THF)]反应,形成一个结晶学上表征的双配合物[YL111(HL111)],这可能是由于低立体需求,因为一个更笨重的版本L222则生成目标复合物[L222YN(SiMe2H)2}(THF)]。后者的分子结构显示出与我们最近报道的肼碱类类似的顺式α结构。可变温度NMR研究表明分子结构的刚性较低。一个潜在的三齿酰胺阿尼索尔/酰胺前配体L333生成复合物[L333MN(SiMe2H)2}(THF)n](M = Y,n = 1;M = La,n = 2)。上述复合物的手性非外消旋版本在2,2′-二甲基氨基戊烷的氢胺化/环化反应中被测试以生成相应的吡咯烷。与最近报道的例子相比,活性相对较低,尽管催化剂表现出良好的手性,ee值仍在20-40%的范围内。
