Ligands air-stable

Arylation. With the highly active and air-stable ligand, l,l -bis(di-r-butylphosphino)-ferrocene, to assist PdCl2, a-arylation of ketones can be accomplished in good yields even with the hindered 2,6-dimethylchlorobenzene. More unusual is the arylation that converts enol acetates into aryl ketones as shown below. The reaction employs BusSnOMe as base. 

The dimorpholinophosphine 1 is an efficient, air-stable ligand for maintaining (dba)3Pd2 catalytically active in Suzuki coupling, whereas chloro(mesityloxy)-t-butylphosphine (2) is good for coupling to form biaryls... 

Wang and Huang ° reported the synthesis of air-stable ligand 49 and its water-stable PN -type ruthenium pincer complex 50, containing an aminophosphine arm (Scheme 12), which was demonstrated to be an effective catalyst in hydrogenation of esters into the corresponding alcohols, under mild conditions.

In contrast to the numerous complexes of NO which have been prepared and characterized, complexes of the thionitrosyl ligand (NS) are virtually unknown, as is the free ligand itself. The first such complex [Mo(NS)(S2CNMc2)3] was obtained as orange-red air-stable crystals by treating [MoN(S2CNMe2>3] with sulfur in... 

However, uranocene can be made more air-stable by use of sufficiently bulky substituents, and 1,3,5,7-tetraphenylcyclo-octatetraene yields the completely air-stable [U( -CgH4Ph4)2], in which the parallel ligands are virtually eclipsed but the phenyl substituents staggered and rotated on average 42° out of the Cg ring plane (Fig. 31.10). 

In 2003, Sigman et al. reported the use of a chiral carbene ligand in conjunction with the chiral base (-)-sparteine in the palladium(II) catalyzed oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols [26]. The dimeric palladium complexes 51a-b used in this reaction were obtained in two steps from N,N -diaryl chiral imidazolinium salts derived from (S, S) or (R,R) diphenylethane diamine (Scheme 28). The carbenes were generated by deprotonation of the salts with t-BuOK in THF and reacted in situ with dimeric palladium al-lyl chloride. The intermediate NHC - Pd(allyl)Cl complexes 52 are air-stable and were isolated in 92-95% yield after silica gel chromatography. Two diaster corners in a ratio of approximately 2 1 are present in solution (CDCI3). 

Imines, either acyclic or macrocyclic but invariably multidentate, have a rich coordination chemistry that has been investigated at length. The 7r-accepting ability of imine donors results in the stabilization of lower oxidation states relative to their saturated amine analogs, and there exist many air-stable divalent imine complexes of Co, in contrast to amine relatives. The hexa-methyl-diene (52) has been the most intensively studied ligand of this class, particularly when complexed with Co. In addition, Co complexes of the dimethyl (53),295,296 tetramethyl (54),297 pentamethyl (55)298 and octamethyl (56)299 macrocyclic dienes are also known. In the presence of... 

The orange, air-stable, homoleptic tetrakis( 71-phosphabenzene)nickel (1046) is tetrahedral (point symmetry 54) and can be obtained from phosphabenzene and [Ni(cod)2].2 25 It features a short Ni—P bond length of 2.1274(5) A with considerable N i P 7r-backbonding and a i/(Ni—P) stretch at 168 cm-1. In solution, partial dissociation of one phosphabenzene ligand is observed. 2-Diphenylphosphino-3-methylphosphinine forms with [Ni(cod)2] in the presence of the CO the dinuclear complex (1047) with a W-frame structure.2526...
