Thallium complexes oxides

Cobaltocene is partially oxidized and in part undergoes insertion of a borylene group, RB. The borinato ligands derive from the unknown borabenzene ( 6.5.3.4). Some porphyrinatoindium and thallium complexes ( 6.5.2.2) can also be synthesized via oxidative addition reactions (TPP)InCl is added oxidatively to Co2(CO)g and Mn2(CO) to give (TPP)In—Co(CO)4 and (TPP)ln — Mn(CO)j, respectively, and (oep)InCl is added to CojfCOg to yield (oep)ln— 0(00)4. 

The thallium complexes show somewhat different electrochemical behavior, and reversible oxidations are observed for both n-alkyl and n-aryl thallium porphyrins, indicating that the oxidized complexes have a more stable metal—carbon bond than the gallium or indium analogs. Spectroelectrochemistry revealed that the first oxidation is porphyrin ring-centered. The first reduction is reversible and ring... 

Method A A solution of 0.5 mmol of (2/ /S ,3R/S )-2,3-dialkyl-1,4-diarylbutane and 0.125 mL (1.0 mmol) of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex in 2 mL of trifluoroacctic acid is added to a suspension of 0.12 g (0.26 mmol) of thallium(III) oxide in 2 mL of trifluoroacetic acid at — 40°C to +25CC under an argon atmosphere. The dark colored solution is stirred until the reaction is complete, diluted with ethyl acetate, then washed successively with water (twice) and sat. aq NaCl. Evaporation of the dried extract gives the crude product. In a variant of this method the boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex can be omitted. 

Oxidation of ethylene to ethylene glycol and its mono- and diacetates has also been catalyzed by tellurium and thallium complexes in the presence of halides...

In a hydrochloric acid medium (optimum concentration -0.5 M HCl), thallium(I) is oxidized with bromine to thallium(III). Thallium(III) oxidizes iodide to iodine, which gives a blue complex with starch. The molar absorptivity of the starch-iodine complex is 3.9-10 (a = 0.19) at 590 nm. 

Properties and Reactions.— The unstable thallium complex of the bilindione (73) is oxidized by air in methanol to a dimethoxy-derivative (74) the latter undergoes photo-oxidation to a tripyrrinone (75) and ethylmethyl maleimide. The... 

The chelated complex of the benzylamine derivative 505 underwent a remarkable oxidative transformation by treatment with thallium trifluoroace-tate to give narwedine (506) in one step by biomimetic oxidation[459]. 

Selectivity of propylene oxide from propylene has been reported as high as 97% (222). Use of a gas cathode where oxygen is the gas, reduces required voltage and eliminates the formation of hydrogen (223). Addition of carbonate and bicarbonate salts to the electrolyte enhances ceU performance and product selectivity (224). Reference 225 shows that use of alternating current results in reduced current efficiencies, especiaHy as the frequency is increased. Electrochemical epoxidation of propylene is also accompHshed by using anolyte-containing silver—pyridine complexes (226) or thallium acetate complexes (227,228). 

Yields in the above reactions can often be improved by the addition of 1 mole of triphenylphosphine directly to the trifluoroacetic acid solution of the reactants immediately before final work-up. It would appear that the triphenylphosphine functions as a scavenger for TTFA released in the metal-metal exchange reaction, thus protecting the final phenol from further electrophilic thallation and/or oxidation. Validation of the metal-metal exchange mechanism was obtained indirectly by isolation and characterization of an ArTlX2/LTTFA complex directly from the reaction mixture. NMR analysis revealed that this complex still possessed an intact aryl-thallium bond, indicating that it was probably the precursor to the transmetallation products, an aryllead tristrifluoroacetate and TTFA. 

During oxidation of tin(II) ions by hydrogen peroxide, iodine, bromine, mercury(ir) and thallium(III) the induced reduction of cobalt(in) complexes cannot be observed. Therefore, it was concluded that these reactions proceed by 2-equivalent changes in the oxidation states of the reactants. 

Oxidative phenolic coupling. Biosynthesis of the alkaloid narwedine (3) is known to involve oxidative phenolic coupling of norbelladine derivatives (1), but the usual oxidants for such coupling in vitro convert 1(R = H) into the oxomaritidine skeleton (4) rather than 3. A new biomimetic synthesis of 3 involves the palladacycle 2, formed by reaction of 1(R = CH3) with Li2PdCl4, which is known to form complexes with allylic amines or sulfides (8,176-177). Oxidation of 2 with thallium(III) trifluoroacetate effects the desired coupling to give 3.
