The metal complexes [Ni{N(Ar)C(R)C(H)Ph}(2)) (2) (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3, R = SiMe3), [Ti(Cp-2){N(R)C(Bu-t)C(H)R}] (3), M{N(R)C(Bu-t)C(H)R}I [M = Ni (4a) or Pd (4b)] and [M{N(R)C(Bu-t)C(H)R}I(PPh3)] [M = Ni (5a) or Pd (5b)] have been prepared from a suitable metal halide and lithium precursor of (2) or (3) or, alternatively from [M(LL)(2)] (M = Ni, LL = cod; M = Pd, LL = dba) and the ketimine RN = C(Bu-t)CH(I)R (1). All compounds, except 4 were fully characterised, including the provision of X-ray crystallographic data for complex 5a.
The role of lithium 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1-aza-allyls in phosphorus chemistry
摘要:
Treatment of the lithium 1-aza-allyl [Li{N(R)C(Bu-t)CHR}](2) 1, abbreviated as [<(Li(L)over bar>L')](2), with PCl3 gave in poor yields the trans-P,P'-dichlorodiazaphosphetidine C<(IPN(R')P(Cl)N)over bar>R' 3 (R=SiMe3, R'=C(Bu-t)=C(H)SiMe3). An improved route to 3 was based on [{Cu(mu-LL')}(2)] and PCl3; but the method of choice involved conversion of 1 into successively the imine RN=C(Bu-t)CHR2 4 (which upon heating gave the isomeric enamine 5) and Cl2PN=C(Bu-t)CHR2 6 and thermolysis of 6. The imine RN=C(Bu-t)CH(R)PPh2 7, obtained from [<(Li(L)over bar>L')](2) 1 and Ph2PCl, was isomerised into the Z-enamine R2NC(Bu-t)=C(H)PPh2 8, which upon irradiation gave a mixture of 8 and its E-isomer 9. Treatment of 7 with R '' PCl2 or PCl3 gave the cyclic phosphonium chlorides [Ph-2<(PP(R '')N(H)C(Bu-t)=C)over bar>H]Cl (10 R ''=Ph, or 11 R ''=Et) or [Ph-2<(PP(Cl)N(R)C(Bu-t)=C)over bar>H]Cl 12; 12 with AgOSO2CF3 or Na[BPh4] afforded [Ph-2<(PP(Cl)N(R)C((BU)-B-t)=C)over bar>H]A (13 A=CF3SO3, or 14 A=BPh4). The enamines RN=C(Bu-t)CH(X)R (15 X=Cl, or 16 X=I) were obtained from 1 and POCl3 or ICI respectively, and the enamine R2NC(Ph)=CR2 17 was obtained from the lithium 1-aza-allyl[Li(N(R)C(Ph)CR2)(THF)] and CF3SO3SiMe3. Compounds 3-17 were characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and (in most cases) MS; while single crystal X-ray diffraction data are provided for 3 and 10.
