Phenoxyamidine Zn and Al Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Use in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactide

2019

International audience; Herein we report the synthesis of new ditopic ligands, which consist of a phenoxy group and N,N,N'trisubstituted amidines linked by a methylene spacer (L1-L4). Their coordination chemistry has been studied/investigated with Zn(II) and Al(III). Alkane elimination route between the phenol-amidine proligands (L1H-L4H) and Et2Zn led to dinuclear complexes [(L1-L4)ZnEt]2 (1a-4a) in which the Zn centers are chelated by phenoxyamidine ligands and bridged through the oxygen atom of the phenoxy groups. Salt metathesis reaction between two equivalents of the sodium amidine phenate L1Na and ZnCl2 led to a bis-chelate chiral spiro-complex (L12Zn) 1a'. Analogous alkane eliminatio…
