Synthesis and Stereoselective Interconversion of Chiral 1-Aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptanes

Synthesis and Stereoselective Interconversion of Chiral 1-Aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptanes:

1-Aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptanes with chiral substituents on the nitrogen atoms were synthesized with the prevailing formation of meso stereoisomers (P_RP_S), which can form P,P-chelate platinum(II) complexes. In solution, the selective stereoconversion of the pure meso isomers into a mixture of P_RP_RC_S(R) and P_SP_SC_S(R) isomers was observed. Kinetic and DFT studies of this process were performed.

Interesting P2N ligands.

Bifunctional Rhenium Complexes for the Catalytic Transfer-Hydrogenation Reactions of Ketones and Imines

Bifunctional Rhenium Complexes for the Catalytic Transfer-Hydrogenation Reactions of Ketones and Imines:

Abstract

The silyloxycyclopentadienyl hydride complexes [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄OSiMe₂tBu)] (R=iPr (3 a), Cy (3 b)) were obtained by the reaction of [Re(H)(Br)(NO)(PR₃)₂] (R=iPr, Cy) with Li[C₅H₄OSiMe₂tBu]. The ligand–metal bifunctional rhenium catalysts [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄OH)] (R=iPr (5 a), Cy (5 b)) were prepared from compounds 3 a and 3 b by silyl deprotection with TBAF and subsequent acidification of the intermediate salts [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄O)][NBu₄] (R=iPr (4 a), Cy (4 b)) with NH₄Br. In nonpolar solvents, compounds 5 a and 5 b formed an equilibrium with the isomerized trans-dihydride cyclopentadienone species [Re(H)₂(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄O)] (6 a,b). Deuterium-labeling studies of compounds 5 a and 5 b with D₂ and D₂O showed H/D exchange at the H_Re and H_O positions. Compounds 5 a and 5 b were active catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation reactions of ketones and imines with 2-propanol as both the solvent and H₂ source. The mechanism of the transfer hydrogenation and isomerization reactions was supported by DFT calculations, which suggested a secondary-coordination-sphere mechanism for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones.

The Re-al deal: Bifunctional rhenium complexes [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄OH)] (R=Cy, iPr) of Shvo-type were prepared and used as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines. TOFs up to 1164 h⁻¹ were obtained for ketones and up to 79 h⁻¹ for imines. DFT calculations suggested a secondary-coordination-sphere mechanism for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones.

Increasing the efficiency and speed of the water-oxidation reaction is crucial to realizing light-driven water splitting. Now, a mononuclear ruthenium complex achieves fast water-oxidation catalysis with a high reaction rate of more than 300 turnovers per second, comparable to the activity of the oxygen-evolving complex in Photosystem II.

The photochemistry of the complexes [Fe(N4Py)(CH3CN)](ClO4)2 (1) , where N4Py is (1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)-N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine) and [Fe(MeN4Py)(CH3CN)](ClO4)2 (2), where MeN4Py (1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)-N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethanamine), in water, dichloromethane and methanol, is described. Under UV or visible irradiation visible irradiation both 1 and 2 undergo enhancement of the rate of outer sphere electron transfer to 3O2 to yield the superoxide radical anion and the complexes in the Fe(III) redox state. Addition of ascorbic acid to the photoproduct leads to a recovery of the initial UV/Vis spectrum of 1 and 2, indicating that ligand oxidation does not occur.

we should learn to make this ligand.  The Npy4 theme would be good literature talk.
