Metalate‐Mediated Functionalization of P4 by Trapping Anionic [Cp*Fe(CO)2(η1‐P4)]− with Lewis Acids

چکیده
The development of selective functionalization strategies of white phosphorus (P4) is important to avoid the current chlorinated intermediates. The use of transition metals (TMs) could lead to catalytic procedures, but these are severely hampered by the high reactivity and unpredictable nature of the tetrahedron. Herein, we report selective first steps by reacting P4 with a metal anion [Cp*Fe(CO)2]- (Cp*=C5(CH3)5), which, in the presence of bulky Lewis acids (LA; B(C6F5)3 or BPh3), leads to unique TM-substituted LA-stabilized bicyclo[1.1.0]tetraphosphabutanide anions [Cp*Fe(CO)2(η1-P4⋅LA)]-. Their P-nucleophilic site can be subsequently protonated to afford the transient LA-free neutral butterflies exo,endo- and exo,exo-Cp*Fe- (CO)2(η1-P4H), allowing controllable stepwise metalate-mediated functionalization of P4.

Nacnac‐Cobalt‐Mediated P4 Transformations
A comparison of P4 activations mediated by low-valent β-diketiminato (L) cobalt complexes is presented. The formal Co0 source [K2 (L3 Co)2 (μ2 :η1 ,η1 -N2 )] (1) reacts with P4 to form a mixture of the monoanionic complexes [K(thf)6 ][(L3 Co)2 (μ2 :η4 ,η4 -P4 )] (2) and [K(thf)6 ][(L3 Co)2 (μ2 :η3 ,η3 -P3 )] (3). The analogue CoI precursor [L3 Co(tol)] (4 a), however, selectively yields the cor...

A synthetic approach to the sandwich complex [Cp'''Co(η4 -P4 )] (2) containing a cyclo-P4 ligand as an end-deck was developed. Complex 2 is the missing homologue in the series of first-row cyclo-Pn sandwich complexes, and shows a unique tendency to dimerize in solution to form two isomeric P8 complexes [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ,η4 :η2 :η1 -P8 )] (3 and 4). Reactivity studies indicate that 2 and 3 react wi...

The synthesis and reactivity of nickel complexes with the [2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]cyclopentadienyl ligand (CpN) are described. The reaction of NiBr2 with CpNLi leads to the new paramagnetic nickelocene derivative (Cp)2Ni (1), which has been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, elemental analysis, and mass spectroscopy. Synproportionation of this complex with Ni(CO)4 affords quantitatively the dimer...

A novel type of deprotonative functionalization of aromatics was accomplished with a phosphazene base (t-Bu-P4 base). For various nitrogen heteroaromatics and benzene derivatives, deprotonative 1,2-additions proceeded with the t-Bu-P4 base and ZnI(2) as an additive in the presence of carbonyl compounds. The t-Bu-P4 base has both extremely strong Brønsted basicity and less nucleophilicity due to...
