Synopsis

Copper(II) bisdiketiminate complexes catalyze the polymerization of lactide with very good activities in the presence of alcohol or with extremely high activities as the isolated heteroleptic alkoxide complex.

Abstract

Abstract Image
Cu(OiPr)2 was reacted with several β-diketimine ligands, nacnacRH. Sterically undemanding ligands with N-benzyl substituents afforded the dimeric heteroleptic complexes [nacnacBnCu(μ-OiPr)]2 and [3-Cl-nacnacBnCu(μ-OiPr)]2 (Bn = benzyl). With sterically more demanding amines, dimerization was not possible, and the putative nacnacCuOiPr intermediate underwent ligand exchange to the homoleptic bisdiketiminate complexes Cu(nacnacipp)2 and Cu(nacnacNaph)2 (ipp = 2-isopropylphenyl, Naph = 1-napthyl). Homoleptic complexes were also prepared with N-benzyl ligands to yield Cu(nacnacBn)2 and Cu(3-succinimido-nacnacBn)2. All complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Even bulkier ligands with N-anthrylmethyl, N-mesitylmethyl, or N-methylbenzyl substituents failed to react with Cu(OiPr)2. In the case of nacnacdippCuOiPr, putative nacnacdippCuOiPr decomposed by β-hydride elimination. Heteroleptic complexes [nacnacBnCu(μ-OiPr)]2 and [3-Cl-nacnacBnCu(μ-OiPr)]2 are very highly active rac-lactide polymerization catalysts, with complete monomer conversion at ambient temperature in solution in 0.5–5 min. In the presence of free alcohol, the homoleptic complexes seem to be in equilibrium with small amounts of the respective heteroleptic complex, which are sufficient to complete polymerization in less than 60 min at room temperature. All catalysts show high control of the polymerization with polydispersities of 1.1 and below. The obtained polymers were essentially atactic, with a slight heterotactic bias at ambient temperature and at −17 °C.

Rhenium(V)–oxo corrolazines: isolating redox-active ligand reactivity

Jan Paulo T. Zaragoza,a   Maxime A. Sieglera and   David P. Goldberg* Chem. Commun., 2015, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C5CC07956J Received 22 Sep 2015, Accepted 15 Oct 2015 First published online 28 Oct 2015 http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/cc/c5cc07956j#!divAbstract Abstract The synthesis of the first example of a third-row metallocorrolazine characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction is reported. This ReV(O) porphyrinoid complex shows an exclusively ligand-based reactivity with strong acids and oxidizing agents. The one-electron oxidized π-radical-cation complex is capable of H-atom abstraction.

Ligands LX (X = 1, 2, 3, and 4) stand for tridentate imine ligands resulting from spontaneous condensation of 2-pycolyl-amine and 4-substituted-2-picolyl aldehydes. Fast and quantitative formation of the complex occurs just upon mixing aldehyde, amine, and Fe(OTf)2 in a 2:2:1 ratio in acetonitrile solution. The solid-state structures of (L1)2Fe(OTf)(ClO4) and (L3)2Fe(OTf)2 are reported, showing a low-spin octahedral iron center, with the lig...
