Secondary amine ligands

A second approach to effecting this transformation was attempted by reaction of living poly THF with a primary amine to generate a terminal secondary amine ligand (12) (Equation 10), and... 

Recent theoretical [98, 99] and experimental [4, 100] work strongly suggests that, when the catalyst contains a primary or secondary amine ligand, transfer hydrogenation involves transfer to/from a Ru-amide bond. (Buchwald... 

Based on the above-mentioned stereochemistry of the allylation reactions, nucleophiles have been classified into Nu (overall retention group) and Nu (overall inversion group) by the following experiments with the cyclic exo- and ent/n-acetales 12 and 13[25], No Pd-catalyzed reaction takes place with the exo-allylic acetate 12, because attack of Pd(0) from the rear side to form Tr-allyl-palladium is sterically difficult. On the other hand, smooth 7r-allylpalladium complex formation should take place with the endo-sWyWc acetate 13. The Nu -type nucleophiles must attack the 7r-allylic ligand from the endo side 14, namely tram to the exo-oriented Pd, but this is difficult. On the other hand, the attack of the Nu -type nucleophiles is directed to the Pd. and subsequent reductive elimination affords the exo products 15. Thus the allylation reaction of 13 takes place with the Nu nucleophiles (PhZnCl, formate, indenide anion) and no reaction with Nu nucleophiles (malonate. secondary amines, LiP(S)Ph2, cyclopentadienide anion). 

More than twenty years ago, Nesmeyanov s group showed that chlorine can be substituted by a variety of nucleophiles in FeCp(r 6-PhCl)+ [83, 84]. Indeed the chlorine substituent in the chlorobenzene (even) ligand is 1000 times more reactive than when it is located on the cyclopentadienyl (odd) ligand [85]. The FeCp+ is a good withdrawing group which is equivalent to two nitro groups in terms of activation. The reactions proceed under ambient conditions with primary or secondary amines and have been extended to other substituted chloroarene complexes [86, 87] Eq. (22), Table 2. 

The alleged preparation of the supposed cobalt(II) complex Na[Co(Et2dtc)3] described by D Ascenzo and Wendlandt (305) has been repeated by Holah and Murphy (306), who identified the product as [Co(Et2dtc)3]. Complexes of cobalt(III), nickel(II), and palladium(II) salts with cationic, dithiocarbamate ligands have been synthesized (307). Reaction of the secondary amine (Et2N(CH2)2)2NH with CS2 produces... 

A variant of the BISBI ligand system is the NAPHOS ligand, which as expected gives similar levels of n-selectivity in the course of the hydroformylation of terminal alkenes. Interesting is a hydroformylation in the presence of secondary amines which allows a mild and selective one-pot hydroformy-lation/enamine formation (Scheme 13) [58]. 

Smaller macrobicycles and macrotricycles bearing less that six N-donors are also known. These ligands comprise tertiary or secondary amines and are derived from insertion of one or more straps between pairs of potentially bridgehead N-donors contained within a small ring macrocycle, and in this sense they may be considered analogs of the well-known azacryptands. The inability to offer six N-donors, and the presence of tertiary amines in these ligands leads to the preference for divalent over trivalent Co.
