3a,6a-Diaza-1,4-diphosphapentalene (DDP) as a tetratopic (κ2P, κ2P′) ligand. Synthesis of DDP bearing peripheral isobutyl and isopropyl substituents and its complexation with copper(i) chloride
摘要
The reaction of diisobutyl ketone azine with phosphorus trichloride in acetonitrile occurs in two steps. The first step affords 2-(2,6-diniethylhept-3-en-4-yl)-5-isobutyl-4-isopropyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphole (2). The subsequent reaction of this intermediate with PCl3 gives 1,4-dichloro-3,6-diisobutyl-2,5-diisopropyl-1H,4H-3a,6a-diaza-1,4-diphosphapentalene (3) in 52% yield. The reduction of compound 3 with magnesium metal in THF produces 3,6-diisobutyl-2,5-diisopropyl-1H,4H-3a,6a-diaza-1,4-diphosphapentalene (4) in 57% yield. The complexation of 4 with an excess of CuCl affords the coordination polymer [4(CuCl)4]n (5), in which each phosphorus atom is coordinated to two copper atoms. In the presence of an excess of the ligand, the reaction gives [4(CuCl)2] (6).
