Chemical Modification of Cellulose Esters for Oral Drug DeliveryMeng, Xiangtao 20 June 2016 (has links)
Polymer functional groups have critical impacts upon physical, chemical and mechanical properties, and thus affect the specific applications of the polymer. Functionalization of cellulose esters and ethers has been under extensive investigation for applications including drug delivery, cosmetics, food ingredients, and automobile coating.
In oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs, amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulations have been used, prepared by forming miscible blends of polymers and drugs to inhibit crystallization and enhance bioavailability of the drug. The Edgar and Taylor groups have revealed that some cellulose omega-carboxyalkanoates were highly effective as ASD polymers, with the pendant carboxylic acid groups providing both specific polymer-drug interactions and pH-triggered release through swelling of the ionized polymer matrix. While a variety of functional groups such as hydroxyl and amide groups are also of interest, cellulose functionalization has relied heavily on classical methods such as esterification and etherification for appending functional groups. These methods, although they have been very useful, are limited in two respects. First, they typically employ harsh reaction conditions. Secondly, each synthetic pathway is only applicable for one or a narrow group of functionalities due to restrictions imposed by the required reaction conditions.
To this end, there is a great impetus to identify novel reactions in cellulose modification that are mild, efficient and ideally modular. In the initial effort to design and synthesize cellulose esters for oral drug delivery, we developed several new methods in cellulose functionalization, which can overcome drawbacks of conventional synthetic pathways, provide novel cellulose derivatives that are otherwise inaccessible, and present a platform for structure-property relationship study.
Cellulose omega-hydroxyalkanoates were previously difficult to access as the hydroxyl groups, if not protected, react with carboxylic acid/carbonyl during a typical esterification reaction or ring opening of lactones, producing cellulose-g-polyester and homopolyester. We demonstrated the viability of chemoselective olefin hydroboration-oxidation in the synthesis of cellulose omega]-hydroxyesters in the presence of ester groups. Cellulose esters with terminally olefinic side chains were transformed to the target products by two-step, one-pot hydroboration-oxidation reactions, using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) as hydroboration agent, followed by oxidizing the organoborane intermediate to a primary alcohol using mildly alkaline H2O2. The use of 9-BBN as hydroboration agent and sodium acetate as base catalyst in oxidation successfully avoided cleavage of ester linkages by borane reduction and base catalyzed hydrolysis.
With the impetus of modular and efficient synthesis, we introduced olefin cross-metathesis (CM) in polysaccharide functionalization. Using Grubbs type catalyst, cellulose esters with terminally olefinic side chains were reacted with various CM partners including acrylic acid, acrylates and acrylamides to afford families of functionalized cellulose esters. Molar excesses of CM partners were used in order to suppress potential crosslinking caused by self-metathesis between terminally olefinic side chains. Amide CM partners can chelate with the ruthenium catalyst and cause low conversions in conventional solvents such as THF. While the inherent reactivity toward CM and tendency of acrylamides to chelate Ru is influenced by the acrylamide N-substituents, employing acetic acid as a solvent significantly improved the conversion of certain acrylamides. We observed that the CM products are prone to crosslinking during storage, and found that the crosslinking is likely caused by free radical abstraction of gamma-hydrogen of the alpha, beta-unsaturation and subsequent recombination. We further demonstrated successful hydrogenation of these alpha, beta-unsaturated acids, esters, and amides, thereby eliminating the potential for radical-induced crosslinking during storage.
The alpha, beta-unsaturation on CM products can cause crosslinking due to gamma-H abstraction and recombination if not reduced immediately after reaction. Instead of eliminating the double bond by hydrogenation, we described a method to make use of these reactive conjugated olefins by post-CM thiol-Michael addition. Under amine catalysis, different CM products and thiols were combined and reacted. Using proper thiols and catalyst, complete conversion can be achieved under mild reaction conditions. The combination of the two modular reactions creates versatile access to multi-functionalized cellulose derivatives.
Compared with conventional reactions, these reactions enable click or click-like conjugation of functional groups onto cellulose backbone. The modular profile of the reactions enables clean and informative structure-property relationship studies for ASD. These approaches also provide opportunities for the synthesis of chemically and architecturally diverse cellulosic polymers that are otherwise difficult to access, opening doors for many other applications such as antimicrobial, antifouling, in vivo drug delivery, and bioconjugation. We believe that the cellulose functionalization approaches we pioneered can be expanded to the modification of other polysaccharides and polymers, and that these reactions will become useful tools in the toolbox of polymer/polysaccharide chemists. / Ph.

Design and Synthesis of Cellulose Ether Derivatives for Oral Drug DeliveryDong, Yifan 31 May 2017 (has links)
Chemical modification of naturally occurring cellulose into ester and ether derivatives has been of growing interest due to inexhaustible cellulose resources, and to excellent properties and extremely broad applications of these derivatives. However, traditional esterification and etherification involve relatively harsh conditions (strongly acidic or strongly alkaline), greatly limiting the content and range of functional groups that may be installed onto the cellulose backbone. Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is an effective method to promote oral delivery of poorly-soluble drugs by dispersing crystalline drugs in a polymer matrix, creating drug supersaturation upon release. Cellulose 𝜔-carboxyesters have been proven to be effective ASD matrices for many different drugs; however, synthesis of such polymers involves protecting-deprotecting chemistry and one synthetic route only leads to one structure. Developing a new generation of cellulosic polymers for oral drug delivery such as ASD matrices requires new synthetic techniques and powerful tools.
Olefin cross-metathesis (CM) is a mild, efficient and modular chemistry with extensive applications in organic, polymer, and polysaccharide chemistry. Successful CM can be achieved by appending olefin “handles” from cellulose esters and reacting with electron-deficient olefins like acrylic acid. Cellulose ethers have much better hydrolytic stability compared to esters and are also commercially very important. The overarching theme of this dissertation is to investigate modification of cellulose ether derivatives, and to design and synthesize effective ASD polymers by olefin CM. We first validated the strategy of performing CM by appending metathesis “handles” through etherification and then subjected these terminal olefins to various partners (acrylic acid and different acrylates). After demonstration of the concept, we applied different starting materials (e.g. ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and hydroxypropyl cellulose) with distinctive hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity balance. Furthermore, α,β-unsaturated CM products tended to undergo radical crosslinking through abstraction of 𝛾-protons and recombination of polymer radicals. In order to resolve this issue, we first applied post-CM hydrogenation and then explored a thiol-Michael addition to the α,β-unsaturation, which also incorporates an extra functional group through the thioether. We have successfully prepared a collection of cellulose 𝜔-carboxyether derivatives through the above-mentioned method and preliminary drug induction experiments also revealed that these derivatives hold high promise for ASD application.
We also explored the possibility of conducting CM in a reverse order: i.e. appending electron-deficient acrylate groups to the polymer, then subjecting it to electron-rich small molecule terminal olefins. The failure of this metathesis approach was speculated to be due mainly to low acrylate reactivity on an already crowded polymer backbone and the high reactivity of rapidly diffusing, small molecule terminal olefins. Last but not least, we further utilized olefin CM to conjugate bile salt derivatives (e.g. lithocholic acid and deoxycholic acid) to a cellulose backbone by converting bile salts into acrylate substrates. Successful CM of bile salt acrylates to cellulose olefin “handles” further demonstrated the great versatility, excellent tolerance, and very broad applicability of this strategy.
Overall, we have founded the strategy for performing successful olefin CM in many cellulose ether derivatives with acrylic acid and a variety of different acrylates. Post-CM hydrogenation efficiently removes the α,β-unsaturation and provides stable and effective cellulose 𝜔-carboxyether derivatives for ASD application. Tandem CM/thiol-Michael addition not only eliminates the crosslinking tendency but also enables an even broader library of polymer structures and architectures for structure-property investigations. We anticipate these methods can be readily adapted by polysaccharide chemists and applied with numerous complex structures, which would greatly broaden the range of cellulose and other polysaccharide derivatives for applications including ASDs, P-glycoprotein inhibition, antimicrobial, coating, and other biomedical applications. / Ph.

Reaching for the High-Hanging Fruits in Olefin Metathesis:Mu, Yucheng January 2021 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Amir Hoveyda / Chapter 1: E- and Z-, Di- and Trisubstituted Alkenyl Nitriles through Catalytic Cross MetathesisWe have described the development of several catalytic cross-metathesis strategies, which can deliver a considerable range of Z- or E-disubstituted alkenyl nitriles and their corresponding trisubstituted variants. Through careful examination of the steric and electronic attributes of the starting materials, a Mo-based monoaryloxide pyrrolide or chloride complex may be the optimal choice depending on the reaction type. In the event, equimolar amounts of the two substrates are necessary to maximize reaction efficiency; a pyridine ligand is more desirable than a phosphine ligand, as a stabilizing ligand for a Mo-based complex, for improving reaction stereoselectivity. We also highlighted the utility of this approach with the synthesis of several biologically active compounds, such as LR5182 (Cocaine abuse treatment), alliarinoside (anti-feedant), perhydrohistrionicotoxin (natural product), CC-5079 (anti-cancer) and indatraline (anti-depressant).
Chapter 2: Traceless Protection for More Broadly Applicable Olefin Metathesis
We have devised an operationally simple in-situ protection/deprotection strategy that significantly expands the scope of kinetically controlled catalytic olefin metathesis. Pretreatment of an olefin containing a protic group with commercially available HB(pin) or HB(trip)2 is sufficient for generating the desired product efficiently through the catalytic cross-metathesis reaction. A wide range of stereochemically defined Z- and E-alkenyl halides and boronates as well as Z-trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes with a hydroxy or carboxylic acid group were prepared. We also discovered that a small amount of HB(pin) may be used for the removal of residual water and impurities, significantly enhancing the efficiency of a multigram-scale olefin metathesis transformation.
Chapter 3: E- and Z-Macrocyclic Trisubstituted Alkenes for Natural Product Synthesis and Skeletal Editing
We have introduced a reliable catalytic strategy for the synthesis of a variety of macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins in either stereoisomeric form. This was achieved by overcoming the unexpected difficulties through careful mechanistic studies, including addressing complications arising from pre-metathesis alkene isomerization. Macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis can be performed with a commercially available Mo-based complex and an easily accessible linear diene precursor. Accordingly, we can synthesize a skeletally diverse array of otherwise difficult-to-access macrocyclic alkenes, a critical set of compounds in drug discovery, in either isomeric form. The utility of the method is highlighted in two instances. The first is the near complete reversal of substrate-controlled selectivity in the generation of the macrolactam intermediate, in the total
synthesis of the anti-fungal agent Fluvirucin B1. The second is an exceptionally stereoselective late-stage formation of a 24-membered macrocyclic E-trisubstituted alkene, enabling the completion of the total synthesis of a cytotoxic natural product dolabelide C, which is seven times more efficient than that reported previously.
Chapter 4: Stereodefined Alkenes with a Fluoro-Chloro Terminus as a Uniquely Enabling Compound Class
We have offered a practical solution for the synthesis of trisubstituted alkenyl fluorides by unveiling a widely applicable strategy for stereodivergent synthesis of olefins bearing a fluoro and chloro terminus. The core transformation is unprecedented: cross-metathesis between two trisubstituted olefins, one of which is a commercially available but scarcely utilized trihalo alkene. Alkenes bearing a fluoro,chloro-terminus are versatile substrates for the generation of otherwise difficult-to-access trisubstituted alkenyl fluorides, through stereospecific catalytic cross-coupling reactions. We also highlighted the utility of the method throguh synthesis of, among others, a fluoro-nematic liquid crystal component, peptide analogs bearing an E- or a Z-amide bond mimic, and all four stereoisomers of difluoro-rumenic ester (anti-cancer). / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2021. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Stereoselective Radical Cyclopropanation by Co(II)-Based Metalloradical Catalysis:Ke, Jing January 2022 (has links)
Thesis advisor: X. Peter Zhang / Thesis advisor: James P. Morken / Chapter 1. Stereoselective Cyclopropanation of Alkenes with Alkynyl- and Vinyl-Substituted Diazo Compounds Alkynyl- and vinyl-substituted cyclopropanes are ubiquitous structural motifs in drug molecules and bioactive compounds. In addition, alkynyl- and vinyl-substituted cyclopropanes may serve as useful intermediates for stereoselective organic synthesis. Metal-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes with alkynyl- and vinyl-substituted diazo compounds offers a potentially general approach for stereoselective construction of these valuable three-membered ring structures. This chapter summarizes the development of stereoselective olefin cyclopropanation with alkynyl- and vinyl-substituted diazo compounds.
Chapter 2. Metalloradical Activation of In Situ-Generated α-Alkynyldiazomethanes for Asymmetric Radical Cyclopropanation of Alkenes
We have developed a Co(II)-based metalloradical system that is highly effective for asymmetric radical cyclopropanation of alkenes with in situ-generated α-alkynyldiazomethanes. Through fine-tuning the cavity-like environments of D₂-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins as the supporting ligand, the optimized Co(II)-based metalloradical system is broadly applicable to different alkynyldiazomethanes for asymmetric cyclopropanation of a broad range of alkenes, providing general access to valuable chiral alkynyl cyclopropanes in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.
Chapter 3. Asymmetric Radical Process for Cyclopropanation of Alkenes with In Situ-Generated α-Vinyldiazomethanes
We have demonstrated the feasibility of using vinyl aldehyde-derived sulfonylhydrazones as new metalloradicophiles for the generation of allylic radicals. Through fine-tuning the cavity-like environments of D₂-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins as supporting ligands, the key α-Co(III)-allylic radical intermediates are exclusively engaged in the highly asymmetric cyclopropanation with wide-ranging alkenes in the optimized Co(II)-based metalloradical system, as shown broadly applicable to activate different α-vinyldiazomethanes.
Chapter 4. Asymmetric Synthesis of Vinyl-Substituted Cyclopropanes by Radical C-H Alkylation from Alkynes and In Situ-Generated Alkyldiazomethanes via Co(II)-Based Metalloradical Catalysis
We have successfully expanded the application of Co(II)-based MRC by applying in-situ generated alkyldiazomethanes as new radical precursors for stereoselective synthesis of vinyl-substituted cyclopropanes by radical cascade C-H alkylation of alkynes. Through fine-tuning of D₂-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins as the supporting ligands, the Co(II)-catalyzed radical cascade process, which proceeds in a single operation under mild conditions, enables asymmetric construction of vinyl-substituted cyclopropanes in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities and good enantioselectivities. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2022. / Submitted to: Boston College.

"Vampire Plastics": An Investigation of Poly(olefin sulfone) Depolymerization and Its Dust Mitigation AbilitiesStapley, Alexandra Kathryn Kanani Gallion 20 June 2024 (has links) (PDF)
The ubiquity of particulate contamination requires dust mitigation techniques to provide low-scatter surfaces and edges on sensitive optical devices in space. Poly(olefin sulfone)s have been shown to photodegrade with the assistance of a photobase generator when exposed to UV light (254 nm) and heat (120 °C). These polymers may be useful for minimizing dust on optical surfaces for space applications. However, their behavior in vacuum has not been fully characterized. We synthesized poly(2-methyl-1-pentene sulfone) (PMPS) and poly(1-hexene sulfone) (PHS) with and without a photobase generator. We studied the photodegradation (172 nm or 254 nm) of thin films in vacuum. Spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to quantify film thickness over time. The PMPS and PHS films both degraded when exposed to UV light in vacuum, though PHS to a lesser degree. We found that heat was not required to cause degradation, and that degradation occurred with UV irradiation even without a photobase generator. We also found that the degradation process removes dust particles as the film disappears. This investigation shows that poly(olefin sulfone)s could be used to protect optical surfaces until after their deployment in space.

Moisture Barrier Polymer Nanocomposites for Organic Device EncapsulationSaravanan, S January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
The advancement in smart technologies for organic conducting polymers as flexible substrates in LEDs, PVs and solid state lighting necessitates the development of ultra-high barrier films to protect the devices from moisture and oxygen. The current encapsulation methodology of using layers of plastics and inorganic oxides has several deficiencies. Alternatively, the use of single layer of polymer nanocomposites is a promising substitute for these inorganic based encapsulation layers. The use of polymer materials have the advantage of flexibility, active electrodes printability and easy to make the devices for large area applications. The nano-fillers with high aspect ratio as nanocomposites ingredient in polymers reinforces its mechanical strength and also acts as a scavenging material for moisture and increases the residence time and/or for the penetrating moisture in the film.
Chapter 1 gives the basic overview in the field of barrier technology films and coatings from polymers and inorganic oxide as either mono/multi layer hermetic encapsulation methods. The understanding of both chemistry and physics behind the moisture permeation and its interaction with the film material was discussed. The inclusion of functional nano-fillers as moisture trapping agents in the film provide better device protection achieved. The methods and instruments to measure such ultra-low permeation within the films are discussed. Finally, the advantage of polymer based nanocomposites for low-permeable films with existing materials are briefly discussed in this chapter.
In this thesis, we employed both thermoplastic and thermoset polymer nanocomposites as encapsulation layer for device sealing. The use of ion-containing polymers (ionomers) as a sealant layer was also studied.
Chapter 2 presents the detailed experimental procedures with materials and methods used in this thesis along with the synthesis methodologies to make films from the polymer.
In chapter 3, we used cyclic olefin copolymer COC (copolymer of ethylene and norbornene) as an encapsulation layer with silica and layered silicate nano-fillers. The compatibility between hydrophilic silica and hydrophobic COC was achieved by maleic anhydride grafted PE with anchoring on COC as a compatibilizer and then silica filler was added to make the nanocomposite films. FTIR spectroscopy confirms the bond formation of silica with COC/MA-g-PE. The mechanical (tensile and DMA) and thermal studies (DSC) suggested that there is an improvement observed when adding silica/silicate layers in the polymer matrix with increased tensile strength, storage modulus and Tg. The calcium degradation test show enhanced
performance towards moisture impermeation in the film.
Chapter 4 deals with the synthesis of PVB based nanocomposite film with silica/layered silicate as nanofillers in the base matrix with varying degree of acetalization in the film. The FTIR and NMR spectroscopy show the evidence for acetal link formation in the in-situ synthesized PVB with silica/silicate nanofillers with three different acetyl contents. The tensile and DMA studies show the observed improvement in mechanical strength (increased tensile strength, storage modulus) were due to the intercalation of clay galleries during PVB formation
and the interaction of silica particles interactive bond formation with –OH groups of PVA in PVB. The higher clay/silica particles show agglomerated nature and reduction in film strength. Thermal studies (DSC) show that there is an improvement observed in Tg when adding
silica/silicate layers in the polymer matrix with moderate to low acetal content. The calcium degradation test show enhanced performance towards moisture impermeation in the film.
Chapter 5 describes the inclusion of ionic groups (ionomers) in PVB and its effects on moisture permeation and mechanical properties. PVB ionomer was synthesized using formyl benzene 2-sulfonic acid sodium salt and 2-carboxy benzaldehyde (both sulfonic and carboxylic acid sources) as co-aldehyde with butyraldehyde and PVA. These acid groups were neutralized with potassium, magnesium and zinc ions. The level of acid content in the films was maintained between 6 to 28 mol percent. The sulfonic acid films with zinc and magnesium ions of 14 mol% exhibit good mechanical strength and low moisture permeation.
Chapter 6 deals with the epoxy terminated silicone polymer nanocomposites as moisture barrier coatings for device encapsulation. Both silica and clay silicate layers were used to reinforce the silicone matrix. The silica nanoparticles were grafted with amino-silane groups, this would help in better mixing of silica particles in the silicone matrix due to the amine groups interaction in curing with epoxy groups. The calcium degradation test was used to determine the WVTR of the nanocomposites and device encapsulation was employed to estimate the degradation after exposure to ambient environment.
Chapter 7 presents the concluding remarks of the results presented. The benefits as well as limitations of the polymer nanocomposite film and the future developmental work to be carried out are discussed in this chapter.

A two-dimensional conjugated polymer framework with fully sp2-bonded carbon skeletonFeng, Xinliang, Zhuang, Xiaodong, Zhao, Wuxue, Zhang, Fan, Cao, Yu, Liu, Feng, Bia, Shuai 21 July 2017 (has links) (PDF)
The synthesis of crystalline two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with fully unsaturated carbon–carbon backbones via a solution approach remains a great challenge. In this work, we report the first example of an olefin-linked 2D conjugated COF using a Knoevenagel polycondensation reaction of 1,4-phenylene diacetonitrile and three armed aromatic aldehyde. The resulting 2D poly(phenelyenevinylene) framework (2DPPV) possesses a sheet morphology, and a crystalline layered structure featuring a fully sp2-bonded carbon skeleton with pendant cyanide groups. Its unique alternating structure with a serrated configuration has been essentially evaluated using HR-TEM TEM analysis, nitrogen physisorption measurements, PXRD studies and theoretical simulations. Upon thermal and activation treatments, the as-prepared 2DPPV can be facilely converted into porous carbon nanosheets with large specific surface areas of up to 880 m2 g−1 which exhibit an excellent electrochemical performance as supercapacitor electrodes and electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. This represents an economic non-template approach to 2D porous carbon materials for energy-related applications.

Rhodium-mediated Activation and Borylation Reactions of Fluorinated OlefinsXu, Conghui 03 December 2020 (has links)
Die Dissertation beinhaltet Studien zur Reaktivität von Rhodiumkomplexen gegenüber unterschiedlichen ungesättigten fluorierten Olefinen mit einem Fokus auf C–F Aktivierungs- und Borylierungsreaktionen.
Der Rhodium(I)hydridokomplex [Rh(H)(PEt3)3] (1) wurde als Katalysator in den Reaktionen von HFO-1234yf, HFO-1234ze, HFO-1225zc bzw. HFO-1225ye (Z) mit HBpin verwendet. Dabei wurden Produktgemische bestehend aus Borylierungsprodukten erhalten. Die selektive Mono- und Dihydroborierung von 3,3,3-Trifluorpropin konnte durch Verwendung von Komplex 1 als Katalysator erreicht werden.
Trifluorethylen konnte durch die Reaktion mit HBpin und Komplex 1 als Katalysator in ein Produktgemisch überführt werden. Stöchiometrische Reaktion zeigen, dass Komplex 1 sowohl unter C–F-Bindungsaktivierung reagiert als auch die Koordination von Trifluorethylen, unter Bildung des Komplexes trans-[Rh(F)(ƞ2-CF2CFH)(PEt3)2], stattfindet. Im Falle von 1,1,2-Trifluorbuten wurde ebenfalls eine C–F-Bindungsaktivierung durch Komplex 1 beobachtet. Mechanistische Untersuchungen der Reaktion von Komplex 1 und 1,1,2-Trifluorbuten bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen zeigten Hinweise für Koordination & Insertion des Alkens, sowie anschließende β-H-Eliminierung und oxidative C–F-Bindungsadditions- und reduktive HF-Eliminierungsschritte.
Außerdem konnte durch Verwendung von Komplex 1 oder [Rh(Bpin)(PEt3)3] (3) als Katalysator eine stöchiometrische und katalytische Hydroborierung von Pentafluorstyren mit HBpin erreicht werden. Die Rhodium(I)komplexe 1 und 3 sind in der Lage das Olefin zu koordinieren und die C–F-Bindung zu aktivieren, während die Verwendung der Verbindung [Rh(Me)(PEt3)3] die C–H-Bindungsaktivierung fördert. Bei 333 K findet die Aktivierung des fluorierten Aromaten in der 4-Stellung statt, während bei Raumtemperatur die Aktivierung in der 2-Stellung bevorzugt ist. / The dissertation reports on studies on the reactivity of rhodium complexes towards different fluorinated olefins with a focus on C–F activation steps and borylation reactions.
The rhodium(I) hydrido complex [Rh(H)(PEt3)3] (1) was employed as catalyst in the reactions of HFO-1234yf, HFO-1234ze, HFO-1225zc and HFO-1225ye with HBpin. A product mixture consisting of borylation products was obtained. Selective mono and dihydroboration reactions of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne were achieved by employing complex 1 as the catalyst.
Similarly, trifluoroethylene was also converted into a mixture of products by the reaction with HBpin with complex 1 as the catalyst. A stoichiometric reaction of complex 1 resulted in the C–F bond activation as well as a coordination of trifluoroethylene to give complex trans-[Rh(F)(ƞ2-CF2CFH)(PEt3)2]. Furthermore, the C–F bond activation was also realized with complex 1 and 1,1,2-trifluorobutene. Mechanistic investigations of the reaction of complex 1 towards 1,1,2-trifluorobutene at variable temperatures indicated the formation of products of coordination, insertion of the olefin and subsequent β-H elimination, C–F oxidative addition as well as HF reductive elimination steps.
Furthermore, when utilizing complex 1 or [Rh(Bpin)(PEt3)3] (3) as catalysts, stoichiometric and catalytic hydroboration reactions of pentafluorostyrene occurred with HBpin. The rhodium(I) complexes 1 and 3 were capable of the coordination of the olefin and a C–F bond activation reaction with pentafluorostyrene, while complex [Rh(Me)(PEt3)3] promoted the C–H bond activation. At 333 K, the activation of the fluorinated aromatic ring occurred at the 4-position, while at room temperature, an activation at the 2-position was preferred.
