Promoting C–C Bond Coupling of Benzyne and Methyl Ligands in Electron-Deficient (triphos)Pt–CH3+ Complexes
摘要:
In situ generated benzyne reacts at room temperature with (triphos)Pt-CH3+ to form a five-coordinate p-complex (2) that is isolable and stable in solution. Thermolysis of 2 at 60 degrees C generates (triphos)Pt(o-tolyl)(+) (3), which is the product of formal migratory insertion of CH3 onto the coordinated benzyne. The reaction of 2 with the acid Ph2NH2+ yields toluene at room temperature over the course of 8 h, while the same reaction with 3 only proceeds to 40% conversion over 2 days. These data indicate that the protonolysis of 2 does not proceed by CH3 migration onto benzyne to form 3 followed by protodemetalation. Instead, the data suggest either that protonation of 2 is first and is followed by H migration to yield a (PtPh)-Ph-IV(Me) dication or that this latter species is generated by direct protonolysis of coordinated benzyne prior to reductive elimination of toluene.

A high-yielding fluorination of (triphos)Pt-R+ has been achieved using an array of F+ sources, with XeF2 yielding R-F in minutes. The C-F coupling proved to be a stereoretentive process that proceeds via a concerted reductive elimination from a putative dicationic Pt(IV) center. The larger the steric congestion of the (triphos)Pt-C-sp3(+) complexes, the more efficient the fluorination, seemingly a result of sterically accelerated C-F reductive elimination along with simultaneous deceleration of its competing processes (beta-H elimination).

Tridentate phosphine pincer ligands facilitate the protonolysis of cationic Pt-CH3 compounds ( to Pt dications and CH4) with the ammonium acid Ph2NH2 center dot BF4. Large rate enhancements over nonpincer analogues (> 50 000) are observed. A mechanism is proposed wherein ring strain present in the planar ground-state arrangement of three phosphine ligands is released in putative five-coordinate intermediates and transition states.
