Resolution of β-aminophosphines with chiral cyclopalladated complexes
Abstract Resolution of the racemic chiral β-aminophosphines Ph 2 PCH 2 CH(Ph)NH(Ar) ( L 1 for Ar = C 6 H 5 and L 2 for Ar = 2,6-C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 ) has been investigated by use of different cyclopalladated complexes as chiral agents. The resulting complexes afford diastereomeric adducts in a 1:1 ratio. After successive crystallizations from ethanol, a d.e. of 98% was achieved for one aminophosphine palladium complex, while no significant d.e. was obtained after crystallizations from chlorinated solvents. The X-ray structure analysis has pointed out intermolecular hydrogen interactions N–H⋯Cl between the P,N ligand and the chloride ion, which are responsible for the formation and stabilization …
Synthesis, Coordination to Rh(I), and Hydroformylation Catalysis of New β-Aminophosphines Bearing a Dangling Nitrogen Group: An Unusual Inversion of a Rh-Coordinated P Center
Variants of the beta-aminophosphine L(1) [Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(Ph)NHPh] containing additional nitrogen donor functions have been prepared. These functions are branched off the C atom adjacent to the P atom, or the P atom itself. Ligand [Ph(2)PCH(o-C(6)H(4)NMe(2))CH(Ph)NHPh] has been obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers L(3A) and L(3B) by lithiation of L(2) [Ph(2)PCH(2)(o-C(6)H(4)NMe(2))] with n-BuLi followed by PhCH=NPh addition and hydrolysis. The diastereomers have been separated by fractional crystallization from ethanol. Ligand Et(2)NCH(2)P(Ph)CH(2)CH(Ph)NHPh has been obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers L(5A) and L(5B)(starting with P-Ph reductive cleavage of L(1) by lithium and s…
Evidence for reverse pathways and equilibrium in singlet energy transfers between an artificial special pair and an antenna
A dyad, 1, built on an artificial special pair (bis(meso-nonyl)zinc(II)porphyrin), [Zn2], a spacer (biphenylene), a bridge (1,4-benzene), and an antenna (di-meso-(3,5-di(t-butyl)phenyl)porphyrin free base), FB, is prepared by Suzuki coupling and is analyzed by absorption and steady state, and time-resolved emission spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K. Using bases from the Förster theory, evidence for two pathways for S 1 energy transfer, FB* → [Zn2], and [Zn2]* → FB, along with their respective rates, k ET ( S 1)1 and k ET ( S 1)-1, are extracted from the comparison of the fluorescence decays monitored at the emission maximum. At 77 K, the unquenched (1.79 ([Zn2]) and 10.6 ns (FB)) and quenched c…
A P-chirogenic β-aminophosphine synthesis by diastereoselective reaction of the α-metallated PAMP–borane complex with benzaldimine
International audience; The diastereoselective synthesis of a P-chirogenic β-aminophosphine ligand with carbon–carbon bond formation of the ethano bridge in a 3:1 ratio via reaction of an α-metallated P-chirogenic phosphine borane with a benzaldimine is described. The diastereoselectivity is attributed to a transition state where the lithium cation chelates the phosphine borane carbanion and the nitrogen of the imine and the attack of the C@N occurs on the face opposite to the P–B bond, due to its interaction with the antibonding P–B bond. The major diastereoisomeric β-aminophosphine borane was then separated and decomplexed into the corresponding β-aminophosphine under neutral conditions a…
Design of Triads for Probing the Direct Through Space Energy Transfers in Closely Spaced Assemblies
Using a selective stepwise Suzuki cross-coupling reaction, two trimers built on three different chromophores were prepared. These trimers exhibit a D(^)A1-A2 structure where the donor D (octa-β-alkyl zinc(II)porphyrin either as diethylhexamethyl, 10a, or tetraethyltetramethyl, 10b, derivatives) through space transfers the S1 energy to two different acceptors, di(4-ethylbenzene) zinc(II)porphyrin (A1; acceptor 1) placed cofacial with D, and the corresponding free base (A2; acceptor 2), which is meso-meso-linked with A1. This structure design allows for the possibility of comparing two series of assemblies, 9a,b (D(^)A1) with 10a,b (D(^)Â1-A2), for the evaluation of the S1 energy transfer for…
Rh(I) Coordination Chemistry of Chiral α-Aminophosphine(η6-arene)chromium Tricarbonyl Ligands
The diastereoselective addition of Ph(2)PH to the chiral ortho-substituted eta(6)-benzaldimine complexes (eta(6)-o-X-C(6)H(4)CH=NAr)Cr(CO)(3) (1, X = MeO, Ar = p-C(6)H(4)OMe; 2, X = Cl, Ar = Ph) leads to the formation of the corresponding chiral aminophosphines (alpha-P,N) Ph(2)P-CH(Ar(1))-NHAr(2) (3, Ar(1) = o-C(6)H(4)(OCH(3))[Cr(CO)(3)], Ar(2) = p-C(6)H(4)OCH(3); 4, Ar(1) = o-C(6)H(4)Cl[Cr(CO)(3)], Ar(2) = Ph) in equilibrium with the starting materials. The uncomplexed benzaldimine (o-ClC(6)H(4)CH=NPh), 2', analogously produces an equilibrium amount of the corresponding aminophosphine Ph(2)P-CH(Ar(1))-NHAr(2) (4', Ar(1) = o-C(6)H(4)Cl, Ar(2) = Ph). Depending on the equilibrium constant, t…
New chiral α-aminophosphine oxides and sulfides: an unprecedented rhodium-catalyzed ligand epimerization
International audience; New chiral α-aminophosphine oxide N,P(O) and sulfide N,P(S) ligands have been prepared in one-pot syntheses by addition of Ph2PH to (S)-PhCH[double bond, length half m-dash]NCH(Ph)CH3, followed by oxidation with O2 or S8. Crystallization from cold methanol leads to the isolation of an enantiomerically pure single N,P(O) diastereomer and to a 1 : 1 mixture of the two N,P(S) diastereomers. The coordination chemistry of these ligands with [RhCl(COD)]2 and [RhCl(CO)2]2 has been investigated under argon and syngas. At high temperatures, a P–C oxidative addition of the N,P(O) ligand followed by imine elimination leads to several hydrido rhodium species. The complexes conta…
Amino-phosphanes in Rh(I)-catalyzed hydroformylation: new mechanistic insights using D2O as deuterium-labeling agent
International audience; In previous work, we have demonstrated that the dangling amino group in amino-phosphane ligands increases the rate of Rh-catalyzed styrene hydroformylation as a function of the amino group basicity and of the distance between the P and N functions. We now report additional stereochemical and mechanistic insights resulting from new catalytic experiments performed with Rh-α-P,N catalytic systems in the presence of D2O. In addition to the expected D0 product, the formation of the β-D1 aldehyde, PhCH(CH2D)CHO was observed in all cases by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, indicating that H/D exchange occurs for the rhodium-hydride complex. Minor amounts of a β-D2 product, PhCH…
Acceleration of the through space S1 energy transfer rates in cofacial bisporphyrin bio-inspired models by virtue of substituents effect on the Förster J integral and its implication in the antenna effect in the photosystems
The singlet k(ET) for cofacial β-octaalkylporphyrin/bis(meso-aryl)porphyrin dyads increases linearly with the gap between the donor-acceptor 0-0 fluorescence peaks at 77 K.
Is the special pair structure a good strategy for the kinetics during the last step of the energy transfer with the nearest antenna? A chemical model approach.
A cofacial bis(Mg(II)porphyrin)-C(6)H(4)-free base ([Mg(2)]-bridge-FB) dyad shows S(1) energy transfer in both directions and much slower rates than similar monoporphyrin systems are observed.
Half-sandwich complexes of molybdenum-(III), -(IV) and -(V) with P–O and P–N bifunctional ligands Ph2PCH2X (X = 2-oxazolinyl, or C(O)NPh2)
International audience; The reaction of the ligands Ph2PCH2X (X = 2-oxazolinyl, I; or C(O)NPh2, II) with the half-sandwich molybdenum(III) precursors [Mo(η-C5R5)(μ-Cl)2]2 (R = H or Me) has been investigated. Ligand I reacts with both complexes to form the corresponding adducts [Mo(η-C5R5)Cl2(Ph2PCH2C3H4NO)] (R = H, 1; or Me, 2). The reaction between I and [MoCp*Cl4] (Cp* = η-C5Me5) affords [MoCp*Cl4(Ph2PCH2C3H4NO-κ1P)] as a kinetic isomer, which then transforms quantitatively to [MoCp*Cl3(Ph2PCH2C3H4NO-κ2P,N)]+Cl−, 3. Ligand II reacts with [MoCp(μ-Cl)2]2 (Cp = η-C5H5) to afford the adduct [CpMoCl2{Ph2PCH2C(O)NPh2-κ2P,O}], 4, as an equilibrium mixture of two isomers. Longer reaction times in…
Allylpalladium( II ) Complexes with Aminophosphane Ligands: Solution Behaviour and X‐ray Structure of cis ‐[Pd(η 3 ‐CH 2 CHCHPh){Ph 2 PCH 2 CHPhNH(2,6‐C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 )}][PF 6 ]
A new β-aminophosphane L2 [Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NH(2,6-C6H3iPr2)], bearing an asymmetric carbon atom and a vicinal prochiral nitrogen centre and (η3-allyl)palladium complexes of general formula [Pd(η3-C3H4R){η2-Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHAr}][PF6] (1−6) (R = H, Me or Ph and Ar = Ph or 2,6-C6H3iPr2) have been synthesised. NMR spectroscopic studies and a crystal structure analysis of complex 6 (R = Ph, Ar = 2,6-C6H3iPr2) confirmed the highly diastereoselective coordination of the nitrogen atom. Because of the allyl fluxionality and the presence of asymmetric centres, all the complexes exist in solution as mixtures of up to four diastereomers. For the monosubstituted allyl complexes [Pd(η3-C3H4R){Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHA…
Metal Dependence on the Bidirectionality and Reversibility of the Singlet Energy Transfer in Artificial Special Pair-Containing Dyads
International audience; The demetalation of a precursor dyad, 3, built upon a zinc(II)-containing artificial special pair and free-base antenna, leads to a new dyad, 4, for singlet energy transfer composed of cofacial free-base porphyrins (acceptor), [Fb](2) bridged by a 1,4-C6H4 group to a free-base antenna (donor), [Fb]. This dyad exhibits the general structure [M](2)-C6H4-[Fb], where [M](2) = [Fh](2), and completes a series reported earlier, where [M](2) = [Mg](2) (2) and [Zn](2) (3). The latter dyads exhibit a bidirectional energy-transfer process at 298 K for 2 and at 77 K for 3. Interestingly, a very scarce case of cycling process is observed for the zinc-containing dyad at 298 K. The…
Amino-phosphanes in RhI-Catalyzed Hydroformylation: Hemilabile Behavior of P,N Ligands under High CO Pressure and Catalytic Properties
International audience; The catalytic properties of rhodium complexes containing the α-, β-, or γ-amino-phosphane ligands Ph2PCH2NEt2 (α-P,N-1), Ph2PCH(Ar)NHPh [α-P,N-2; Ar = η6(o-C6H4Cl)Cr(CO)3], Ph2PCH2NPh2 (α-P,N-3), Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHPh (β-P,N), Ph2PCH2(o-C6H4–NMe2) (γ-P,N-1), Ph2PCH(o-C6H4–CH2NHPh) (γ-P,N-2), and the α,β-diamino-phosphane ligand Et2NCH2P(Ph)CH2CH(Ph)NHPh (α,β-N,P,N), in styrene hydroformylation have been examined. The results show that the activity increases when the number of backbone carbon atoms linking P and N decreases from 3 to 1. IR and 31P HPNMR studies in solution show that all P,N ligands adopt exclusively a κ1-P coordination mode in rhodium chloride carbonyl co…
