100-40-3 ?-Arene Complexes of Nickel(II). Synthesis (from Metal Atoms) of (?-Arene)bis(pentafluorophenyl)nickel(II). Properties, ?-Arene Lability, and Chemistry

A new series of transition-metal-?-arene complexes has been prepared by a metal atom synthetic method.The deposition of Ni vapor, C6F5Br, and arenes has prodused high yields of (C6F5)2Ni-?-arene complexes.A variety of ?-arene ligands are η6 bound by the (C6F5)2Ni moiety, resulting in soluble highly labile materials, where the ?-arene ligand is exchangeble at room temperature.These complexes have not been isolable when ?-bonding ligands other then C6F5 have been employed.The formation of the ?-toluene complex proceeds through a pseudostable C6F5NiBr species that can be trapped at -80 deg C with R3P but decomposes by reductive elimination of CF5-CF5 in the absence of R3P or electron-rich arenes.It is likely that C6F5NiBr-?-arene is formed initially, which then disproportionates to (C6F5)2Ni-?-arene and NiBr2.Due to the high lability of the ?-arene ligand, these complexes possess a rich chemistry.Displacement of the ?-arene ligand can bee carried out cleanly and in high yield by P(Et)3, 1,5-cyclooctadiene, and THF to form (C6F5)2NiL2.Treatment of (?-toluene)bis(pentafluorophenyl)nickel (1) with norbornadiene at 0 deg C causes the formation of a high polymer of norbornadiene as well as (?-norbornadiene)bis(pentafluorophenyl)nickel, which appears to be either the active polymerization catalyst or its precursor.Similarly, treatment of 1 with 1,3-butadiene at 25 deg C and <1 atm causes the formation of new organometallic compound and the production of cyclic tetramers of 1,3-butadiene.When 1 was treated with cyclopentadiene at 0 deg C, a rapid production of C6F5H was observed with the subsequent formation of a dimeric nickel complex (C6F5)2(Cp)2Ni2(C5H6) where the Ni atoms appear to be bound together through a mutually ?-bonded cyclopentadiene (C5H6) ligand.Reductive elimination reactions have also been induced under mild conditions by addition of CO or C2H4.With CO a nearly quantitative production of C6F5C6F5 and Ni(CO)4 took place.Lastly, 1 served as a short-lived arene hydrogenation catalyst at room temperature. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_100-40-3.htm

726-18-1 Electrophilic alkylations in neutral aqueous or alcoholic solutions

Acid-free Friedel-Crafts chemistry: A paradox? Nucleophilicity scales, based on reactions with benzhydrylium ions, show that many π systems are more nucleophilic than aqueous or alcoholic solutions that are generally employed as solvents for S N 1 reactions. Solvolytically generated carbocations can, therefore, be trapped by donor-substituted arenes and alkenes to form products of Friedel-Crafts-type reactions in neutral aqueous solutions (see scheme). https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_726-18-1.htm

102-82-9 Selective Synthesis of Secondary and Tertiary Amines by Reductive N-Alkylation of Nitriles and N-Alkylation of Amines and Ammonium Formate Catalyzed by Ruthenium Complex

A new ruthenium catalytic system for the syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines via reductive N-alkylation of nitriles and N-alkylation of primary amines is proposed. Isomeric complexes 8 catalyze transfer hydrogenation and N-alkylation of nitriles in ethanol to give secondary amines. Unsymmetrical secondary amines can be produced by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Aliphatic amines were obtained with excellent yields, while only moderate conversions were observed for anilines. Based on kinetic and mechanistic studies, it is suggested that the rate determining step is the hydrogenation of intermediate imine to amine. Finally, ammonium formate was applied as the amination reagent for alcohols in the presence of ruthenium catalyst 8. Secondary amines were obtained from primary alcohols within 24 hours at 100 °C, and tertiary amines can be produced after prolonged heating. Secondary alcohols can only be converted to secondary amines

1023-17-2 Syntheses, structures, and catalytic activity in Friedel–Crafts acylations of substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl molybdenum carbonyl complexes

Reactions of the substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienes [C 5 HMe 4 R] [R?=? t Bu, Ph, CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 ] with Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CN) 3 in refluxing xylene gave a series of dinuclear molybdenum carbonyl complexes [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 R)Mo(CO) 3 ] 2 [R?=? t Bu (1), Ph (2), CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 (3)], [(η 5 -C 5 Me t Bu)Mo(μ-CO) 2 ] 2 (4)], and [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 ) t Bu] 2 Mo 2 O 4 (μ-O) (5)], respectively. Complexes 1–5 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. The catalytic activities of complexes 1–3 in Friedel–Crafts acylation in the presence of o-chloranil has also been investigated; the reactions were achieved under mild conditions to give the corresponding products in moderate yields. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1023-17-2.htm
