Preparation complexes

Nickel-allyl complexes prepared from Ni(CO)4 and allyl bromides are useful for the ole-fination of alkyl bromides and iodides (E.J. Corey, 1967 B A.P. Kozikowski, 1976). The reaction has also been extended to the synthesis of macrocycles (E.J. Corey, 1967 C, 1972A). 

The addition product, C QHgNa, called naphthalenesodium or sodium naphthalene complex, may be regarded as a resonance hybrid. The ether is more than just a solvent that promotes the reaction. StabiUty of the complex depends on the presence of the ether, and sodium can be Hberated by evaporating the ether or by dilution using an indifferent solvent, such as ethyl ether. A number of ether-type solvents are effective in complex preparation, such as methyl ethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dioxane, and THF. Trimethyl amine also promotes complex formation. This reaction proceeds with all alkah metals. Other aromatic compounds, eg, diphenyl, anthracene, and phenanthrene, also form sodium complexes (16,20). 

Metal complexes prepared by reacting less than one mole of an alkan olamine with an excess of a polyhydric alcohol, such as polyethylene glycol 200—400 or glycerol, reportedly impart a greater degree of thixotropy to systems containing protective organic coUoids (501). 

The first closo metaHaborane complexes prepared (159) were the nickelaboranes [< /(9j 0-( q -C H )Ni(B22H22)] and closo-l]l- r]-Q ]) -l]l-53i] pri Q [55266-88-1] (Fig. 13). These species are equivalent to closo-C ]]ri ][ i closo-Q, p5 2 by tbe electron-counting formaUsm. The mixed bimetallic anion [ /(9j (9-(Tj -C H )2CoNi(B2QH2Q)] and other related species were reported later (160). These metallaboranes display remarkable hydrolytic, oxidative, and thermal stabiUty.

The complex preparative interrelationships occurring in the sodium polyphosphate system are summarized in Fig. 12.21 (p. 531). Thus anhydrous NaH2p04, when heated to 170" under conditions which allow the escap>e of water vapour, forms the diphosphate Na2H2p207, and further dehydration at 250" yields either Maddrell s salt (closed system) or the cyclic trimetaphosphate (water vapour pressure kept low). Maddrell s salt converts from the low-temperature to the high-lemperaturc form above 300", and above 400" reverts to the cyclic... 

The cationic aqua complexes prepared from traws-chelating tridentate ligand, R,R-DBFOX/Ph, and various transition metal(II) perchlorates induce absolute enantio-selectivity in the Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene with 3-alkenoyl-2-oxazoli-dinone dienophiles. Unlike other bisoxazoline type complex catalysts [38, 43-54], the J ,J -DBFOX/Ph complex of Ni(C104)2-6H20, which has an octahedral structure with three aqua ligands, is isolable and can be stored in air for months without loss of catalytic activity. Iron(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes are similarly active. 

We are the first group to succeed with the highly enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitronates [75]. Thus, the reaction of 5,6-dihydro-4H-l,2-oxazine N-oxide as a cyclic nitronate to 3-acryloyl-2-oxazilidinone, at -40 °C in dichloro-methane in the presence of MS 4 A and l ,J -DBFOX/Ph-Ni(II) complexes, gave a diastereomeric mixture of perhydroisoxazolo[2,3-fe][l,2]oxazines as the ring-fused isoxazolidines in high yields. The J ,J -DBFOX/Ph aqua complex prepared from...

The lithium 2-butenyl(triethyl)aluminate complex, prepared in situ from 2-butenyllithium and triethylaluminum, displayed poor diastereoselectivity in a reaction with benzaldehyde (anti/syn 56 44)7. (Z)-3-Alkoxy-substituted aluminate complexes such as A-C, however, give good diastereoselectivity in aldehyde addition reactions8. The reactions of A with aldehydes at —100 °C give the jyw-diol monoether with >95% diastereoselectivity and >80-95% regiose-... 

To a suspension of lithium-(-)-sparteine complex, prepared from 4.0 mmol of ( )-2-butenyl diisopropylcarbamate (Section 1.3.3.3.1.2.), at —78 °C are added rapidly 8.0 mL (28 mmol) of tetraisopropoxytitani-um with intensive magnetic stirring. After 5 min, 980 mg (10 mmol) of 3-methyl-2-methylenebutanal are added and stirring is continued below — 70 °C for 3 h. The mixture is allowed to warm to r.t. and poured into 20 mL of 2N hydrochloric acid and 20 mL of diethyl ether. The aqueous layer is extracted with three 20-mL portions of diethyl ether, washed with sat. aq NaHCO, and dried over Na2S04. Chromatography on 50 g silica gel (diethyl ether/pentane) affords a colorless oil yield 840 mg (78%) 90% ee [a]n° —0.8 (c = 4.4, CH2C12). 

Asymmetric versions of the cyclopropanation reaction of electron-deficient olefins using chirally modified Fischer carbene complexes, prepared by exchange of CO ligands with chiral bisphosphites [21a] or phosphines [21b], have been tested. However, the asymmetric inductions are rather modest [21a] or not quantified (only the observation that the cyclopropane is optically active is reported) [21b]. Much better facial selectivities are reached in the cyclopropanation of enantiopure alkenyl oxazolines with aryl- or alkyl-substituted alkoxy-carbene complexes of chromium [22] (Scheme 5).

A typical Ziegler-Natta catalyst is the complex prepared from titanium tetrachloride and triethylaluminium. It is fed into the reaction vessel first, after which ethylene is added. Reaction is carried out at low pressures and low temperatures, typically no more than 70 °C, with rigorous exclusion of air and moisture, which would destroy the catalyst. The poly(ethylenes) produced by such processes are of intermediate density, giving values of about 0.945 g cm. A range of relative molar masses may be obtained for such...

When L = 4-CNC5H4N (PK3 = 1.86), 2-CIC5H4N (pK = 2.81), or 4-PhCOC5H4N (pKj = 3.35) [Hg2L2] [C10412 can be isolated as solids. However, under the same conditions the more basic unsubstituted pyridine (pK, = 5.21) leads to disproportionation, and no complex can be isolated. Complexes of Hg(I) of these more basic substituted pyridines can be prepared under a N2 atmosphere in MeOH at -70°C. Table 1 shows some Hg(I) complexes prepared with N-donor ligands. The majority contain an Hg2 ion with each atom coordinated to one or two N atoms as in I or II.

It was suggested that this change in product distribution was due to the existence of an equilibrium between two types of complex, viz., a cr-butenyl-pentacyanocobaltate(III) and a 7r-butenyltetracyanocobaltate(III) 107, 109). However, further study of the kinetics and product distribution suggested the presence of two o-bonded complexes, viz., cr-but-l-en-3-yl and a-but-2-en-l-yl 24a). Direct evidence for the existence of a cyanide-dependent equilibrium between the a- and rr-bonded organocyanide complexes has been obtained from NMR studies of the complex prepared by the reaction of allyl halides with Co—H 109) (see also Section V,C). Both butadiene and crotyl chloride react with Co—H to give the same... 

Copper-complexes prepared with other type of N-chelating ligands have been also prepared and evaluated as catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction. Eng-berts et al. [103] studied enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of 3-phenyl-l-(2-pyridyl)-2-propen-l-one with cyclopentadiene in water (Scheme 39). By using coordinating chiral, commercially available a-amino-adds and their derivatives with copper salts as catalysts, they obtained the desired product with yields generally exceeding 90%. With L-abrine (72 in Scheme 39) as chiral moiety, an enantiomeric excess of 74% could be achieved. Moreover, the catalyst solution was reused with no loss of enantioselectivity.
