Stereoselective catalytic sulfoxidations mediated by new titanium and zirconium C3 trialkanolamine complexes*†

چکیده
Monomeric Ti(IV)/C3 trialkanolamine complexes are effective catalysts in the stereoselective sulfoxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides (ee’s up to 84%, 0.1% of catalyst). Such complexes were shown to have a biphilic nature, behaving as electrophilic oxidants towards sulfides while a nucleophilic pathway dominates the oxidation of sulfoxides. The analogous Zr(IV) complexes, likely dimeric, are even better and more general stereoselective sulfoxidation catalysts (ee’s up to 91%, 50 T.O.), affording sulfoxides with the opposite absolute configuration.

Diamido Complexes of Titanium and Zirconium as Catalyst Precursors for Ethylene Polymerization
A series of 8 new complexes of titanium and zirconium with diamido ligands bearing an ethylene and propylene bridge between the two amido groups were synthesized and tested for ethylene polymerization. Titanium complexes bearing an ethylene bridge between the two amido groups showed higher activities than the derivatives with a propylene bridge. In the case of the zirconium complexes, the p...

A series of titanium trichloride complexes , ligated with claw-type tetradentate aminophenolate ligands were synthesized from the direct reaction of TiCl4(THF)2 with 1 equiv. of the corresponding aminophenol in the presence of triethylamine. For comparison purposes, titanium isopropoxide complexes were also synthesized via the reaction of Ti(O(i)Pr)4 and 1 equiv. of the proligand. Similar react...
متن کاملZirconium complexes bearing a tetradentate dipyrrolyl ligand.
Using a tetradentate, dianionic ligand several new zirconium complexes have been prepared. These pyrrolyl compounds, unlike their titanium analogues, are inactive in hydrohydrazination catalysis. However, they are quite stable, and their reactivity with H2NR, where R = Ph, C6H11, and NHPh, is reported here. Two of the complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction.
