RESUMO
The rare-earth/lithium cooperative effect on functionalization of white phosphorus has been investigated. The reaction of diazabutadiene-supported yttrium hydride chelated a LiPPh2 molecule (LY â THF)2 (µ-H)2 [µ-PPh2 (Li)] (1, L=N,N'-di(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,4-diazabutadiene) with P4 gave two novel mixed Y/Li multinuclear polyphosphorus complexes (LY â THF)2 [cyclo-P3 ]Li(THF)3 (2) and [Li(THF)4 ]+ [(LY â THF)3 (norborane-P7 )Li(THF)]- (3), accompanied with the elimination of diphosphorus compound Ph2 PPPh2 (4) and H2 . However, the comparative reaction of yttrium hydride (LY â THF)2 (µ-H)2 with P4 afforded a trinuclear yttrium pyramid-P4 complex (LY â THF)3 (µ3 -P(PH)3 ) (5). Further investigations show that 5 cannot continuously react with LiPPh2 to form 2 and 3, and LiPPh2 reacted with P4 to form a Zintl-P7 lithium complex (TMEDAâ Li)3 (Zintl-P7 ) (6) and 4. These results indicated that the cooperation of Y/Li for activation of P4 is a key for the formation of 2 and 3. All new compounds have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
RESUMO
A new method for the modification of a silylamino ligand has been developed through mono and dual C(sp3 )-H/Si-H cross-dehydrocoupling with silanes. The reaction of [LY{η2 -(C,N)-CH2 Si(Me2 )NSiMe3 }] (L=bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-ß-diketiminato, L' (1L '); L=tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, TpMe2 (1TpMe2 )) with 2â equivalents of PhSiH3 in toluene gave the complexes [LY{η2 -(C,N)-C(SiH2 Ph)2 Si(Me2 )NSiMe3 }] (L=L' (2L' ); L=TpMe2 (2TpMe2 )). Moreover, 1TpMe2 reacted with the secondary silanes Ph2 SiH2 and Et2 SiH2 to afford the corresponding mono C-H activation products [TpMe2 Y{η2 -(C,N)-CH(SiHR2 )Si(Me2 )NSiMe3 }] (R=Ph (4 b); R=Et (4 c)). The equimolar reaction of 1TpMe2 with PhSiH3 also produced the mono C-H activation product 4 a ([TpMe2 Y{η2 -(C,N)-CH(SiH2 Ph)Si(Me2 )NSiMe3 }(thf)]). A study of their reactivity showed that4 a facilely reacted with 2â equivalents of benzothiazole by an unusual 1,1-addition of the C=N bond of the benzothiazolyl unit to the Si-H bond to give the C-H/Si-H cross-dehydrocoupling product [(TpMe2 )Y{η3 -(N,N,N)-N(SiMe3 )SiMe2 CH2 Si(Ph)(CSC6 H4 N)(CHSC6 H4 N)}] (5). These results indicate that this modification endows the silylamino ligand with novel reactivity.
RESUMO
Mononuclear amidinate yttrium complex C4 H9 C(NR)2 Y(o-CH2 C6 H4 NMe2 )2 (R=2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 ) and a series of binuclear rare-earth metal complexes bearing a bridged amidinate ligand [(RN)2 C(CH2 )4 C(NR)2 ][RE{CH2 C6 H4 (o-NMe2 )}2 ]2 (R=2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 , RE=Y, Lu, Sc) were synthesized and fully characterized. The catalytic behavior of these complexes for (co)polymerization of conjugated dienes such as isoprene and myrcene in the presence of co-catalyst [Ph3 C][B(C6 F5 )4 ] was investigated. These catalytic systems show impressively high activity and 3,4-regioselectivity in living (co)polymerization. The binuclear bridged amidinate yttrium catalytic system not only exhibits the highest activity among the reported catalytic systems for 3,4-polymerization of isoprene but also allows the steady polymerization in a living manner from -20 to 80 °C. Compared with the dramatic drop of 3,4-selectivity for the mononuclear analogue, the binuclear catalytic system still shows moderate 3,4-selectivity at 80 °C. Moreover, a facile one-pot synthetic strategy for a polymer blend containing 3,4- and 1,4-polyisoprene (PIP) was established through the in situ modification of the active amidinate yttrium species by addition of an excess amount of AlMe3 .
RESUMO
The rare-earth-metal organic cyclo-P4 complex (LY·DMAP)2[1,2-R2- cyclo-P4] (2, L = N, N'-2,6-diisopropylphenyl-1,4-diazabutadiene, DMAP = 4- N, N'-dimethylpyridine, R = CH2C6H4NMe2-2) was synthesized by direct functionalization of P4 using the rare-earth-metal alkyl complex LYR(THF) (1) for the first time. Further investigations indicated that three selective conversions of the cyclo-P4 species have been realized by alkyl migration. Complex 2 was slowly transformed into a R2P-substituted cyclo-P3 cluster (LY·DMAP)2[ cyclo-P3PR2] (3) under heating conditions. The reaction of 2 with 1 equiv of KR gave the unsubstituted cyclo-P3 complex (LY·THF)2[ cyclo-P3]K (4) in quantitative yield, accompanied by the elimination of the organophosphorus compound PR3 (5). Treatment of 2 with HMPA afforded the structurally characterized Zintl-type P7 complex (LY·HMPA)3P7 (6). The formation of complexes 3, 4, and 6 revealed that unusual alkyl migrations in the polyphosphorus complexes occurred in these reactions, and the transformations from cyclo-P4 into cyclo-P3 also provided a new insight into the stepwise degradation of P4 using metal complexes.
RESUMO
Reactions of trinuclear rare-earth metal complexes bearing functionalized phosphinidene ligand [L3Ln3(µ2-Me)2(µ3-Me)(µ3-η1:η2:η2-PC6H4-o)] (L = [PhC(NC6H4iPr2-2,6)2]-, Ln = Y (1a), Lu (1b)) with phenylacetylene, CO2, diisopropyl carbodiimide, isocyanide, or PhSSPh lead to the formation of a series of phosphorus-containing products. The reaction of 1 with CS2 yields two novel P-methyl-phosphindole-2,3-dithiolate dianion complexes, revealing an unusual tandem desulfurization/coupling/cyclization reaction mode of CS2. A possible reaction pathway was determined by density functional theory calculations. This emphasizes the key role of the reduction power of the formal P2- part of the phosphinidene in the C-S bond cleavage.
RESUMO
The preferential substitution of oxo ligands over alkyl ones of rare-earth complexes is commonly considered as "impossible" due to the high oxophilicity of metal centers. Now, it has been shown that simply assembling mixed methyl/oxo rare-earth complexes to a rigid trinuclear cluster framework cannot only enhance the activity of the Ln-oxo bond, but also protect the highly reactive Ln-alkyl bond, thus providing a previously unrecognized opportunity to selectively manipulate the oxo ligand in the presence of numerous reactive functionalities. Such trimetallic cluster has proved to be a suitable platform for developing the unprecedented non-redox rare-earth-mediated oxygen atom transfer from ketones to CS2 and PhNCS. Controlled experiments and computational studies shed light on the driving force for these reactions, emphasizing the importance of the sterical accessibility and multimetallic effect of the cluster framework in promoting reversal of reactivity of rare-earth oxo complexes.
RESUMO
Treatment of the yttrium dialkyl complex TpMe2Y(CH2Ph)2(THF) (TpMe2 = tri(3,5 dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, THF = tetrahydrofuran) with S8 in a 1:1 molar ratio in THF at room temperature afforded a yttrium pentasulfide TpMe2Y(κ4-S5) (THF) (1) in 93% yield. The yttrium monoalkyl complex TpMe2CpYCH2Ph(THF) reacted with S8 in a 1:0.5 molar ratio under the same conditions to give another yttrium pentasulfide [(TpMe2)2Y]+[Cp2Y(κ4-S5)]- (10) in low yield. Further investigations indicated that the S52- anion facilely turned into the corresponding thioethers or organic disulfides, and released the redundant S8, when it reacted with some electrophilic reagents. The mechanism for the formation of the S52- ligand has been investigated by the controlling of the reaction stoichiometric ratios and the stepwise reactions.
RESUMO
Lanthanide-catalyzed alkynyl exchange through C-C single-bond cleavage assisted by a secondary amino group is reported. A lanthanide amido complex is proposed as a key intermediate, which undergoes unprecedented reversible ß-alkynyl elimination followed by alkynyl exchange and imine reinsertion. The in situ homo- and cross-dimerization of the liberated alkyne can serve as an additional driving force to shift the metathesis equilibrium to completion. This reaction is formally complementary to conventional alkyne metathesis and allows the selective transformation of internal propargylamines into those bearing different substituents on the alkyne terminus in moderate to excellent yields under operationally simple reaction conditions.
RESUMO
The first catalytic cycloamidination of aminoalkenes with nitriles has been achieved by using rare-earth complexes. This reaction is equivalent to the desired intramolecular hydroamination of alkenylamidines, and allows a new direct access to substituted 2-imidazolines and tetrahydropyrimidines in high yields under operationally simple reaction conditions. Moreover, the methodology is also efficient for synthesis of symmetric and unsymmetric bridged diimidazolines. Compared with the traditional stepwise-mediated synthetic approaches, the present method avoids the use of additives and harsh reaction conditions, and thus leads to a completely different product distribution. Mechanistic data suggest that the reaction involves the initial NH activation by lanthanide complex followed by nitrile insertion into a Ln-N bond to form an amidinate lanthanide intermediate which undergoes the cyclization.
RESUMO
A lanthanide-catalyzed sequential insertion of CN and CC into an NH bond is presented. The convenient reaction, which proceeds under mild conditions, is an efficient method for preparing 1,2,4-trisubstituted imidazoles directly from readily available propargylamines and nitriles.
RESUMO
Unusual chemical transformations such as three-component combination and ring-opening of N-heterocycles or formation of a carbon-carbon double bond through multiple C-H activation were observed in the reactions of Tp(Me2) -supported yttrium alkyl complexes with aromatic N-heterocycles. The scorpionate-anchored yttrium dialkyl complex [Tp(Me2) Y(CH2 Ph)2 (THF)] reacted with 1-methylimidazole in 1:2 molar ratio to give a rare hexanuclear 24-membered rare-earth metallomacrocyclic compound [Tp(Me2) Y(µ-N,C-Im)(η(2) -N,C-Im)]6 (1; Im=1-methylimidazolyl) through two kinds of C-H activations at the C2- and C5-positions of the imidazole ring. However, [Tp(Me2) Y(CH2 Ph)2 (THF)] reacted with two equivalents of 1-methylbenzimidazole to afford a C-C coupling/ring-opening/C-C coupling product [Tp(Me2) Y{η(3) -(N,N,N)-N(CH3 )C6 H4 NHCHC(Ph)CN(CH3 )C6 H4 NH}] (2). Further investigations indicated that [Tp(Me2) Y(CH2 Ph)2 (THF)] reacted with benzothiazole in 1:1 or 1:2 molar ratio to produce a C-C coupling/ring-opening product {(Tp(Me2) )Y[µ-η(2) :η(1) -SC6 H4 N(CHCHPh)](THF)}2 (3). Moreover, the mixed Tp(Me2) /Cp yttrium monoalkyl complex [(Tp(Me2) )CpYCH2 Ph(THF)] reacted with two equivalents of 1-methylimidazole in THF at room temperature to afford a trinuclear yttrium complex [Tp(Me2) CpY(µ-N,C-Im)]3 (5), whereas when the above reaction was carried out at 55 °C for two days, two structurally characterized metal complexes [Tp(Me2) Y(Im-Tp(Me2) )] (7; Im-Tp(Me2) =1-methyl-imidazolyl-Tp(Me2) ) and [Cp3 Y(HIm)] (8; HIm=1-methylimidazole) were obtained in 26 and 17 % isolated yields, respectively, accompanied by some unidentified materials. The formation of 7 reveals an uncommon example of construction of a CC bond through multiple C-H activations.
RESUMO
Two new trinuclear µ3 -bridged rare-earth metal phosphinidene complexes, [{L(Ln)(µ-Me)}3 (µ3 -Me)(µ3 -PPh)] (L=[PhC(NC6 H4 iPr2 -2,6)2 ](-) , Ln=Y (2 a), Lu (2 b)), were synthesized through methane elimination of the corresponding carbene precursors with phenylphosphine. Heating a toluene solution of 2 at 120 °C leads to an unprecedented orthoâ CH bond activation of the PhP ligand to form the bridged phosphinidene/phenyl complexes. Reactions of 2 with ketones, thione, or isothiocyanate show clear phospha-Wittig chemistry, giving the corresponding organic phosphinidenation products and oxide (sulfide) complexes. Reaction of 2 with CS2 leads to the formation of novel trinuclear rare-earth metal thione dianion clusters, for which a possible pathway was determined by DFT calculation.
RESUMO
Three new patterns of reactivity of rare-earth metal methylidene complexes have been established and thus have resulted in access to a wide variety of imido rare-earth metal complexes [L3Ln3(µ2-Me)3(µ3-Me)(µ-NR)] (L = [PhC(NC6H3iPr2-2,6)2](-); R = Ph, Ln = Y (2 a), Lu (2 b); R = 2,6-Me2C6H3, Ln = Y (3 a), Lu (3 b); R = p-ClC6H4, Ln = Y (4 a), Lu (4 b); R = p-MeOC6H4, Ln = Y (5 a), Lu (5 b); R = Me2CHCH2CH2, Ln = Y (6 a), Lu (6 b)) and [{L3Lu3(µ2-Me)3(µ3-Me)}2(µ-NR'N)] (R' = (CH2)6 (7 b), (C6H4)2 (8 b)). Complex 2 b was treated with an excess of CO2 to give the corresponding carboxylate complex [L3Lu3(µ-η(1):η(1)-O2CCH3)3(µ-η(1):η(2)-O2C-CH3)(µ-η(1):η(1):η(2)-O2CNPh)] (9 b) easily. Complex 2 a could undergo the selective µ3-Me abstraction reaction with phenyl acetylene to give the mixed imido/alkynide complex [L3Y3(µ2-Me)3(µ3-η(1):η(1):η(3)-NPh)(µ3-C≡CPh)] (10 a) in high yield. Treatment of 2 with one equivalent of thiophenol gave the selective µ3-methyl-abstracted products [L3Ln3(µ2-Me)3(µ3-η(1):η(1):η(3)-NPh)(µ3-SPh)] (Ln = Y (11 a); Lu (11 b). All new complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and most of the structures confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

A series of unusual chemical-bond transformations were observed in the reactions of high active yttrium-dialkyl complexes with unsaturated small molecules. The reaction of scorpionate-anchored yttrium-dibenzyl complex [Tp(Me2)Y(CH2Ph)2(thf)] (1, Tp(Me2)=tri(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) with phenyl isothiocyanate led to C=S bond cleavage to give a cubane-type yttrium-sulfur cluster, {Tp(Me2)Y(µ3-S)}4 (2), accompanied by the elimination of PhN-C(CH2Ph)2. However, compound 1 reacted with phenyl isocyanate to afford a C(sp(3)) H activation product, [Tp(Me2)Y(thf){µ-η(1):η(3)-OC(CHPh)NPh}{µ-η(3):η(2)-OC(CHPh)NPh}YTp(Me2)] (3). Moreover, compound 1 reacted with phenylacetonitrile at room temperature to produce γ-deprotonation product [(Tp(Me2))2Y](+)[Tp(Me2)Y(N=C=CHPh)3](-) (6), in which the newly formed N=C=CHPh ligands bound to the metal through the terminal nitrogen atoms. When this reaction was carried out in toluene at 120 °C, it gave a tandem γ-deprotonation/insertion/partial-Tp(Me2)-degradation product, [(Tp(Me2)Y)2(µ-Pz)2{µ-η(1):η(3)-NC(CH2Ph)CHPh}] (7, Pz=3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl).
RESUMO
Compared with Si-C(sp2 and sp) bonds bearing neighboring π-bond hyperconjugative interactions, the activation of robust Si-C(sp3) bonds has proved to be a challenge. Herein, two distinct Si-C(sp3) bond cleavages have been realized by rare-earth-mediated and nucleophilic addition of unsaturated substrates. The reactions of TpMe2Y[κ2-(C,N)-CH(SiH2Ph)SiMe2NSiMe3](THF) (1) with CO or CS2 gave two endocyclic Si-C bond cleavage products, TpMe2Y[κ2-(O,N)-OCîCH(SiH2Ph)SiMe2NSiMe3](THF) (2) and TpMe2Y[κ2-(S,N)-SSiMe2NSiMe3](THF) (3), respectively. However, 1 reacted with nitriles such as PhCN and p-R'C6H4CH2CN in a 1 : 1 molar ratio to yield the exocyclic Si-C bond products TpMe2Y[κ2-(N,N)-N(SiH2Ph)C(R)îCHSiMe2NSiMe3](THF) (R = Ph (4); R = C6H5CH2 (6H); R = p-F-C6H4CH2 (6F); and R = p-MeO-C6H4CH2 (6MeO)), respectively. Moreover, complex 4 can continuously react with an excess of PhCN to form a TpMe2-supported yttrium complex with a novel pendant silylamido-substituted ß-diketiminato ligand, TpMe2Y[κ3-(N,N,N)-N(SiH2Ph)C(Ph)îCHC(Ph)îN-SiMe2NSiMe3](PhCN) (5).
RESUMO
The tandem inert α-C-H and C-N bond activation of amides represents a highly valuable but challenging transformation in organic synthesis. Herein, a simple rare earth metal amido complex has been shown to catalyse unprecedented cyclization of amides with ynones to form trisubstituted 2-pyrones. This protocol significantly enables the selective merger of inert α-C-H and C-N bond activations of amides and indicates a particular role of rare earth catalysts in enhancing the selectivity for the α-C-H bond of amides in the presence of N-H bonds.
RESUMO
Herein we report the first catalytic decarbonylation and decarbonylative hydroamination of formamides without using additives enabled by a redox-neutral rare earth catalyst. The protocol displays complete N-aryl/alkenyl formamide-selectivity, thus providing a wide variety of creative uses of the N-formylation and N-deformylation method and opening up new prospects for minimizing waste and controlling the required selectivity in amine transformation events.

A novel Tp(Me2)-supported (Tp(Me2) = tri(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) rare earth metal complex promoted Me-Si cleavage of the bis(trimethylsilyl) amide ligand ([(Me(3)Si)(2)N](-)) was observed. Reaction of Tp(Me2)LnCl(2) with 2 equiv of K[(RN)(2)CN(SiMe(3))(2)] (KGua) gave the methylamidinate complexes Tp(Me2)Ln[(RN)(2)CMe][N(SiMe(3))(2)] (R = isopropyl, Ln = Y (1(Y)), Er (1(Er)); R = cyclohexyl, Ln = Y (2(Y))) in moderate yields. In contrast, Tp(Me2)YCl(2)(THF) reacted with 1 equiv of KGua to afford a C-N cleavage product Tp(Me2)Y(Cl)N(SiMe(3))(2)(THF) (4), indicating that this guanidinate ligand is not stable in the yttrium complex with the Tp(Me2) ligand, and a carbodiimide deinsertion takes place easily. The mechanism for the formation of complexes 1 and 2 was also studied by controlling the substrate stoichiometry and the reaction sequence and revealed that the bis(trimethylsilyl)amine anion N(SiMe(3))(2)(-) can undergo two routes of γ-methyl deprotonation and Si-Me cleavage for its functionalizations. All these new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods, and their solid-state structures were also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
RESUMO
Unsolvated, trinuclear, homometallic, rare-earth-metal multimethyl methylidene complexes [{(NCN)Ln(µ(2)-CH(3))}(3)(µ(3)-CH(3))(µ(3)-CH(2))] (NCN = L = [PhC{NC(6)H(4)(iPr-2,6)(2)}(2)](-); Ln = Sc (2a), Lu (2b)) have been synthesized by treatment of [(L)Ln{CH(2)C(6)H(4)N(CH(3))(2)-o}(2)] (Ln = Sc (1a), Lu (1b)) with two equivalents of AlMe(3) in toluene at ambient temperature in good yields. Treatment of 1 with three equivalents of AlMe(3) gives the heterometallic trinuclear complexes [(L)Ln(AlMe(4))(2)] (Ln = Sc (3a), Lu (3b)) in good yields. Interestingly, 2 can also be generated by recrystallization of 3 in THF/toluene, thereby indicating that the THF molecule can also induce C-H bond activation of 2. Reaction of 2 with one equivalent of ketones affords the trinuclear homometallic oxo-trimethyl complexes [{(L)Ln(µ(2) -CH(3))}(3) (µ(3)-CH(3))(µ(3)-O)] (Ln = Sc(4a), Lu(4b)) in high yields. Complex 4b reacts with one equivalent of cyclohexanone to give the methyl abstraction product [{(L)Lu(µ(2) -CH(3) )}(3) (µ(3) -OC(6)H(9))(µ(3)-O)] (5b), whereas reaction of 4b with acetophenone forms the insertion product [{(L)Lu(µ(2)-CH(3))}(3){µ(3)-OCPh(CH(3))(2)}(µ(3)-O)] (6b). Complex 4a is inert to ketone under the same conditions. All these new complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and confirmed by X-ray diffraction determination.
RESUMO
The structurally characterized Tp(Me2)-supported rare earth metal monoalkyl complex (Tp(Me2))CpYCH(2)Ph(THF) (1) was synthesized via the salt-metathesis reaction of (Tp(Me2))CpYCl(THF) with KCH(2)Ph in THF at room temperature. Treatment of 1 with 1 equiv of PhC≡CH under the same conditions afforded the corresponding alkynyl complex (Tp(Me2))CpYC≡CPh(THF) (2). Complex 1 exhibits high activity toward carbodiimides, isocyanate, isothiocyanate, and CS(2); treatment of 1 with such substrates led to the formation of a series of the corresponding Y-C(benzyl) σ-bond insertion products (Tp(Me2))CpY[(RN)(2)CCH(2)Ph] (R = (i)Pr(3a), Cy(3b), 2,6-(i)Pr-C(6)H(3)(3c)), (Tp(Me2))CpY[SC(CH(2)Ph)NPh] (4), (Tp(Me2))CpY[OC(CH(2)Ph)NPh] (5), and (Tp(Me2))CpY(S(2)CCH(2)Ph) (6) in 40-70% isolated yields. Carbodiimides and isothiocyanate can also insert into the Y-C(alkynyl) σ bond of 2 to yield complexes (Tp(Me2))CpY[(RN)(2)CC≡CPh] (R = (i)Pr(7a), Cy(7b)) and (Tp(Me2))CpY[SC(C≡CPh)NPh] (9). Further investigation results indicated that 1 can effectively catalyze the cross-coupling reactions of phenylacetylene with carbodiimides. However, treatment of o-allylaniline with a catalytic amount of 1 gave only the benzyl abstraction product (Tp(Me2))CpY(NHC(6)H(4)CH(2)CHâCH(2)-o)(THF) (10), without observation of the expected organic hydroamination/cyclization product. All of these new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic properties, and their solid-state structures were also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
