Abstract
A ferrocene-based phosphinopyridine, Ph2PfcPy (1; fc = ferrocene-1,1'-diyl, Py = 2-pyridyl), was newly synthesized by Negishi coupling of Ph2PfcZnCl with PyBr. Its homologous compd. Ph2PfcCH2Py (2) was obtained by reductive dehydroxylation of Ph2PfcCH(OH)Py (4), the latter resulting via reaction of in situ generated Ph2PfcLi with PyCHO. Depending on the stoichiometry, compds. 1 and 2 react with PdCl2(cod) (cod = η2:η2-cycloocta-1,5-diene) to give P,N-chelate and bis-phosphine complexes, PdCl2(L-κ2P,N) (5, L = 1; 6, L = 2) and PdCl2(L-κP)2 (7, L = 1; 8, L = 2), resp. Analogously, (LNC)PdCl2 or (LNC)Pd(MeCN)2ClO4 (LNC = (2-dimethylamino-κN)methylphenyl-κC1) react with 1 and 2 to afford complexes featuring these compds. as P-monodentate ligands ((LNC)PdCl(L-κP): 9, L = 1; 10, L = 2) or P,N-chelating donors ((LNC)Pd(L-κ2P,N)ClO4: 11, L = 1; 12, L = 2), resp. With the exception of compd. 9, which undergoes self-ionization in soln., all complexes are defined air-stable solids and were characterized by elemental anal. and conventional spectroscopic methods (multinuclear NMR, IR, and MS). The crystal structures of 4, 5, 7CH2Cl2, 8, 11, and 12 were detd. by x-ray crystallog., revealing structural differences resulting from a more flexible geometry of the methylene-spaced ligand 2. The catalytic potential of the Pd complexes 5 and 6 and their in situ generated counterparts (Pd(OAc)2/L, L = 1, 2) was studied in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 4-bromotoluene (13) with phenylboronic acid and in cyanation of the same substrate with K4Fe(CN)6. The results were compared with those obtained under identical conditions with analogous catalysts based on the related donor-sym. ligand 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene. on SciFinder(R)
