Protonation and methylation reactions of 2-pyridyl-palladium(II) and -platinum(II) complexes
Abstract The reactions of strong acids HX and HClO4 with the 2-pyridyl complexes [PdX(μ-C5H4N-C2,N)(PPh3)]2 (X = Cl, Br), trans-[PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(PEt3)2] and [PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(dppe)] yield the N-protonated derivatives cis-[PdX2-(C5H5N-C2)(PPh3)], trans-[PdCl(C5H5N-C2)(PEt3)2]ClO4 and [PdCl-(C5H5N-C2)(dppe)]ClO4, respectively. The terminal 2-pyridyl group of trans-[PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(PEt3)2] and [PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(dppe)] also reacts with Me2SO4/NaClO4 to give trans-[PdClC5H4(l-Me)N-C2(PEt3)2]ClO4 and [PdClC5H4(l-Me)N-C2(dppe)]ClO4. Analogous N-protonation or N-methylation reactions occur with trans-[PtBr(C5H4N-C2)(L)2] (L = PEt3, PPh3). The complexes trans-[MX(C5H5N-C2)(PMe2Ph)2]ClO4 (M = Pd, X = Cl an…
Preparation and protonation of 2-pyrimidyl- and 2-pyrazylpalladium(II) complexes
Abstract The oxidative addition of 2-chloropyrimidine or 2-chloropyrazine to [Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ] yields a mixture of trans -[PdCl(C 4 H 3 N 2 - C 2 )(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (I) and [PdCl(μ-C 4 H 3 N 2 - C 2 , N 1 )(PPh 3 (II) (C 4 H 3 N 2 = 2-pyrimidyl or 2-pyrazyl group). The mononuclear complexes I are quantitatively converted into the binuclear species II upon treatment with H 2 O 2 . The reaction of II with HCl gives the N -monoprotonated derivatives cis -[PdCl 2 (C 4 H 4 N 2 - C 2 )(PPh 3 )] (III), from which the cationic complexes trans -[PdCl(C 4 H 4 N 2 - C 2 )(L) (L = PPh 3 , IV; PMe 2 Ph, V; PEt 3 , VI) can be prepared by ligand substitution reactions. Reversible proton dissociation occurs in so…
Preparation and reactivity of 1,2-bis(imino)ethylpalladium(II) complexes
Abstract The 1,2-bis(imino)ethylpalladium complex, t r a n s − [ P d C I { C ( = N R ) ︹ C H = N R } ( P P h 3 ) 2 ] (R =p-C6H4OMe, DABI) can be prepared by treatment of [Pd(PPh3)4] with two equivalents of CNC6H4OMe-p followed by slow addition of HCl at −70° C. The σ-bonded 1,2-bis(imino) group can be easily monoprotonated and undergoes acid hydrolysis to give the α-aldehydoimidoyl derivative t r a n s − [ P d C I { C ( = N R ) ︹ C H = O } ( P P h 3 ) 2 ] . Condensation of the aldehydic carbonyl group with methylamine yields the product t r a n s − [ P d C I { C ( = N C 6 H 4 O M e − p ) ︹ C H = N M e } ( P P h 3 ) 2 ] , DABII, with different substituents on the N-imino atoms. Substitution …
Preparation and reactions of 1-methylpyrid-6-one-2-yl compounds of palladium(II) and platinum(II)
Abstract The compounds trans -[MCl{(1-Me)C 5 H 3 (6-O)N- C 2 }(L) 2 ] (M = Pd, Pt; L = PPh 3 , PMe 2 Ph), can be prepared from the reaction of the corresponding 1-methyl-6-chloro-2-pyridylium cationic complexes, trans -[MCl{(1-Me)C 5 H 3 (6-Cl)N- C 2 }(L) 2 ]ClO 4 , with a mixture of acetic acid, ethanol, and triethylamine in the molar ratio M/MeCO 2 H/EtOH/NEt 3 of 1/3/3/4. The rate is slow compared to that of the 1-methyl-2-chloropyridinium cation under similar conditions, and is markedly affected by the steric and electronic effects of the trans -MCl(L) 2 unit. The novel 1-methylpyrid-6-one-2-yl derivatives have been characterized by conventional spectroscopic techniques and by reactions…
