Exploring the reactivity of cationic rhodium xantphos complexes with amine-boranes

Johnson, Heather C. January 2015 (has links)
This thesis explores the reactivity of amine-boranes with the {Rh(Xantphos)}+ fragment, with the aim of gaining mechanistic insight into the catalytic dehydropolymerisation of the amine-borane H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMeH<sub>2</sub> to yield the polyaminoborane [H<sub>2</sub>BNMeH]<sub>n</sub>. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis of suitable Rh<sup>III</sup> and Rh<sup>I</sup> Xantphos precursors to be used in this investigation. Moreover, the first example of the dehydrogenative B—B homocoupling of the tertiary amine-borane H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMe<sub>3</sub> to form H<sub>4</sub>B<sub>2</sub>•2NMe<sub>3</sub> is reported. The synthesis of the Rh<sup>I</sup> precatalyst introduced in Chapter 2 entails the hydroboration of tert-butylethylene by H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMe<sub>3</sub>. In Chapter 3, the ability of the {Rh(Xantphos)}+ fragment to mediate this hydroboration in a catalytic manner is explored, and a mechanism is presented in which reductive elimination is proposed to be turnover-limiting. Other alkenes and phosphine-boranes are also trialled to determine the scope of the hydroboration. Chapter 4 investigates the catalytic dehydrocoupling of H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMe<sub>2</sub>H and H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMeH<sub>2</sub> with {Rh(Xantphos)}+ to form the dehydrocoupling products [H<sub>2</sub>BNMe<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub> and [H<sub>2</sub>BNMeH]<sub>n</sub>, respectively, and the dehydrocoupling mechanisms are shown to be similar. Both involve an induction period in which the active catalyst is formed (thought to involve N—H activation), and saturation kinetics operate during the productive phase of catalysis. H<sub>2</sub> is shown to inhibit the dehydrocoupling, and lead to production of shorter chain [H<sub>2</sub>BNMeH]<sub>n</sub>. Conversely, using THF as the dehydropolymerisation solvent instead of C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>F results in longer chain [H<sub>2</sub>BNMeH]<sub>n</sub>. Finally, Chapter 5 presents new dicationic {Rh(Xantphos)}-based dimers, the formation of which involves loss of a phenyl group from the Xantphos ligands by P—C activation. The dimers are produced by routes involving either dehydrogenative homocoupling of H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMe<sub>3</sub>, or dehydrocoupling of H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMe<sub>2</sub>H. One of these dimers was tested as a catalyst for the dehydrocoupling of H<sub>3</sub>B∙NMe<sub>2</sub>H, and the reaction kinetics appear closely related those obtained using {Rh(Xantphos)}+, suggesting that the active catalysts in each system may be related.

Synthèse de nouveaux ligands pour la catalyse homogène et supportée.

Mora, Guilhem 03 October 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Le phosphole, analogue phosphoré du pyrrole, est un hétérocycle faiblement aromatique qui peut, selon son schéma de substitution, être caractérisé par un fort pouvoir ð-accepteur. Cette propriété particulière de certains cycles phospholes a été mise à profit pour synthétiser de nouveaux ligands bidentes phosphorés de type phosphole-oléfine ou phosphole-phosphole en vue d'applications en catalyse homogène. Aussi la synthèse de nouveaux ligands bidentes est-t-elle rapportée dans ce manuscrit ainsi que l'étude de leur chimie de coordination sur quelques métaux de transition, essentiellement ceux du groupe 10. Leur potentiel d'application en catalyse homogène a également été exploré, essentiellement dans des réactions de couplage carbone-carbone (hydroformylation, dimérisation)! et carbone-azote (allylation des amines par les alcools et éthers allyliques). Nous nous sommes également attardés sur la nouvelle réaction d'allylation d'amines aliphatiques par l'alcool allylique catalysée par des complexes de platine, afin de comprendre à l'aide de calculs théoriques, la réactivité expérimentale observée, et ainsi de mettre au point un système catalytique très performant. Des cycles catalytiques ont été caractérisés et nous avons relié la propriété géométrique d'angle de morsure à l'activité des complexes de platine dans ce procédé.
