Phosphite complex

The rate of dissociation of P(OMe)3 from the dimethylglyoximato-cobalt(ra) complexes [RCo(dmg)2P(OMe)3l is found to depend on the nature of R such that CH2SiMe3 Me CHaF CHFa CHaCl CF3 CHCI2 CHaBr CHBra. The

A number of ruthenium(II) complexes have been prepared. Cole-Hamilton and Stephenson isolated cts-[Ru(Me2dtc)2L2] (L = PPhj, PMe2, Ph, PPhMe2, or P(OPh)3) from Ru(II) and Ru(III) tertiary phosphine and phosphite complexes with NaMe2dtc, and found that they undergo rearrangements (288). 

It was shown that planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl-phosphine ligands were excellent chirality inducers during the synthesis of chiral-at-metal tetrahedral Ru-phosphine or -phosphite complexes (99% de). 

Phosphite complexes of platinum(0) have received substantially less attention than have phosphine complexes.44 [Pt P(OC6H4OMe-2)3 3] can be prepared by reduction of the [PtCl2 P-(OC6H4OMe-2)3 2] complex in the presence of the phosphite or by the reaction of the phosphite with Lris(//2-norbornene)platinum(II) 44 Alkene complexes of bis(phosphite)platinum(II) can be prepared in a similar manner to the analogous phosphine complexes. 

A study of sequential Arbuzov-type demethylation reactions of the platinum(II)-phosphite complex [Pt P(OMe)3 4]2+, in which the phosphite ligands are converted to phosphonates, has been described.285 Many of the products of the reaction were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.286 The X-ray structures are the first reported for trialkylphosphite complexes of platinum(II). 

Rhodium precipitation in solubilized rhodium-phosphite complex catalyzed liquid recycle hydroformylation may be minimized or prevented by carrying out product recovery in the presence of an organic polymer containing polar functional groups such as amides, ketones, carbamates, ureas and carbonates.[20] Patent examples include the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone and vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer with diorganophosphite-modified rhodium catalysts. 

Copper, and occasionally silver, have been used as catalysts for hydroformylation of a-olefins. Phosphite complexes of copper(I) chloride have been claimed as catalysts (126). Phthalocyanine complexes of Group IB metals have been stated to show a low degree of catalytic activity (127). One of the more interesting examples of copper catalysis was disclosed by McClure (128). Copper powder, with a controlled amount of water (0.2-4.0 moles H20/mole Cu), gave a slow conversion of pro-... 

The formation of cationic nickel hydride complexes by the oxidative addition of Brdnsted acids (HY) to zero-valent nickel phosphine or phosphite complexes (method C,) has already been discussed in Section II. Interesting in this connection is a recent H NMR study of the reaction of bis[tri(o-tolyl)phosphite]nickelethylene and trifluoroacetic acid which leads to the formation of a square-planar bis[tri(o-tolyl)phosphite] hydridonickel trifluoroacetate (30) (see below) having a cis arrangement of the phosphite ligands (82).

After the discovery of the high ee provided by rhodium/diphosphite and rhodium/phosphine-phosphite complexes, with total conversion in aldehydes and high regioselectivities, rhodium systems became the catalysts of choice for asymmetric hydroformylation. Important breakthroughs in this area have been the use of rhodium systems with chiral diphosphites derived from... 

The spectroscopic data of phosphine-phosphite complexes show slight differences between the (R,S) and (S,R) complexes on the one hand and the (R,R) and (S,S) complexes on the other. In the latter compounds the data are less clear-cut, which could be due to structural deviations of the monohydride complexes from an ideal trigonal bipyramid or to equilibria between isomers. The two ea isomers cannot be distinguished by IR spectroscopy as their absorptions tend to coincide [82],... 

First we will describe the hydrocyanation of ethene as a model substrate. The catalyst precursor is a nickel(O) tetrakis(phosphite) complex which is protonated to form a nickel(II) hydride. Actually, this is an oxidative addition of HCN to nickel zero. In Figure 11.1 the hydrocyanation mechanism in a simplified form is given the basic steps are the same as for butadiene, the actual substrate, but the complications due to isomer formation are lacking. 

Phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony donor ligands. A general synthesis has been reported for trialkyl phosphite complexes of noble metals, including [RuLeJ, [RuXLsl, and [RuHLs]+ [L = P(OMe)3 or P(OEt)3 X = Cl or Br]. The complexes were isolated as their tetraphenylborate salts from reaction of the phosphite with methanolic solutions of suitable labile olefin... 

A general synthetic route has been reported for a wide range of trialkyl phosphite complexes of noble metals, including the unstable white [RhLj] [L = P(OMe)3 or P(OEt)3]. Subsequent studies have shown that the former complex reacts with NOPFg in dichloromethane to give the hydride [RhH- P(OMe)3 5](PF6)2 in high yield.

The coordination chemistry of the hydrido/phosphine rhenium complexes can be extended to phosphonite and phosphite complexes. This has been demonstrated for monodentate ligands such as P(OEt)3, P(OCH2)3CEt and PPhtORE (R = Me, Et, Pri),2S8779,809,iii8 chelating phos-... 

There are many phosphine and phosphite complexes of iron(O), sometimes acting as P,C-donors in orthometallated complexes. In general this area is deemed to be organometallic chemistry, so we shall cite just one recent reference to act as a possible point of entry to this area, relating to [Fe(CO)2 P(OPlfi3 P(OPh)2(OC6Fl4) which contains both a P- and a P,C-donor triphenylphosphite ligand. ... 

The phosphite complex, a in Figure 6.2, is a typical example of the new generation catalysts (UCC has commercialised a process using a diphosphite catalyst). The NMR characteristics are of course the same for a and b ...
