Synthesis of the first imidazolyl-triphosphines containing a Triphos unit
Abstract Since biphasic liquid–liquid continuous-flow catalytic processes often require the use of cationic phosphine ligands for the metal sequestration in the polar phase, we have prepared the first imidazolyl triphosphines, named Triphosim and Triphosmim. These ligands contain the Triphos unit [-P(CH2CH2PPh2)] which is linked to the imidazole fragment and have been obtained in three steps from imidazole (or 2-methylimidazole), diethylvinylphosphonate and diphenylvinylphosphine with global yields of 42–48%. The Triphosim ligand adopts a tridentate P-coordination mode in a palladium dichloride complex and the reaction of the dangling imidazole function with alkyl halides leads to a new kin…
Straightforward Synthesis of Donor‐Stabilised Phosphenium Adducts from Imidazolium‐2‐carboxylate and Their Electronic Properties (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 31/2007)
The cover picture shows one of donor-stabilized phosphenium compounds which have been obtained by direct addition of chlorophosphanes to the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate without any further purification step. Their stronger κ-acceptor character similar to phosphites and their ionic nature render these ligands very promising in the development of new continuous-flow catalytic processes. Details of phosphorylation mechanisms of imidazolium-2-carboxylate as well as the electronic and steric properties of these adducts are discussed in the article by J. Andrieu et al. on p. 4877 ff.
Synthesis of new cationic donor-stabilized phosphenium adducts and their unexpected P-substituent exchange reactions
The reaction between two 1,3-dialkylimidazolium-2-carboxylates 1a and 1b and two different dichlorophosphines (RPCl(2), with R = Ph and NEt(2)) led to new donor-stabilized phosphenium adducts. When the reaction was performed with the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate 1a and PhPCl(2) in a 2:1 ratio, the phosphine 4a, bearing two imidazolium moieties, was obtained and led to 5a, after an anion exchange reaction with KPF(6), the latter being fully characterized by an X-ray structure analysis. In similar conditions, the bis-imidazolium phosphine or phosphene-di-ium, 4b, which is analogous to 4a, has been obtained by the addition of PhPCl(2) to the 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium-2-carboxylate…
ChemInform Abstract: Donor-Stabilized Phosphenium Adducts as New Efficient and Immobilizing Ligands in Palladium-Catalyzed Alkynylation and Platinum-Catalyzed Hydrogenation in Ionic Liquids.
The straightforward synthesis of a new donor-stabilized phosphenium ligand 3d by addition of bromodifurylphosphine to 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate 1 is described. The obtained ligand exhibits a very strong π-acceptor character, comparable to that of triphenyl phosphite [P(OPh) 3 ] or of tris-halogenophosphines, with a v CO (A 1 ) at 2087 cm ―1 for its nickel tricarbonyl complex. This ligand, as well as the related 3a which was obtained from chlorodiphenylphosphine, were tested in palladium-catalyzed aryl alkynylation and in the platinum-catalyzed selective hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzenes, both in an ionic liquid phase. In C―C bond cross-coupling we observed that the increase o…
First donor stabilized-phosphenium rhodium complexes
Abstract The coordination properties of a donor stabilized-phosphenium adduct have been examined in rhodium chemistry. The preparation as well as the characterization of the first examples of donor stabilized-phosphenium rhodium(I) complexes is reported in this paper. Indeed, mono- and di-cationic rhodium complexes were obtained in quantitative yield by the direct addition of this imidazolium P(III)-ligand to [RhCl(1,5-COD)] 2 in CH 2 Cl 2 solution with a 1:1 P/Rh ratio under argon and 2:1 P/Rh ratio under CO atmosphere, respectively. Crystal structure of the bis-cationic donor stabilized-phosphenium rhodium(I) complex has been obtained from an acetone/pentane mixture. Its molecular structu…
Straightforward synthesis of donor-stabilised phosphenium adducts from imidazolium-2-carboxylate and their electronic properties
Cationic imidazolium-2-phosphanes were obtained by the addition of a chlorophosphane (R2PCl, R = Ph, iPr or Cy) to 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate without the need for a purification step. An additional anion exchange reaction with KPF6 led to the corresponding halide-free ligands in excellent yields. The molecular structure of one of them was examined both in the solid state and in solution. The lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom is not delocalised to the imidazolium fragment and thus remains available for further metal coordination. As such compounds can be described as phosphenium cations stabilised by a N-heterocarbene donor base, the electronic properties of the Lewis …
