Hydrochlorination of ruthenaphosphaalkenyls: unexpectedly facile access to alkylchlorohydrophosphane complexes
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 04:39 authored by Victoria K Greenacre, Iain Day, Ian CrossleyIan CrossleyThe novel ruthenaphosphaalkenyls [Ru{P-C(H)SiMe2R}Cl- (CO)(PPh3)2] (R = p-C6H4CF3, nBu) have been prepared for the first time, and studied alongside precedent analogues (R = Me, Ph, p-tol) for their reactions with HCl. In contrast to chemistry defined for the tert-butyl congener [Ru{P-C(H)tBu}Cl(CO)(PPh3)2], which initially adds a single equivalent of HCl across the Ru-P linkage, all five silyl derivatives undergo spontaneous addition of a second equivalent to afford [Ru{?1-PHCl-CH2SiMe2R}Cl(CO)(PPh3)2], extremely rare examples of coordinated “PHXR” type ligands. Where R = SiMe3, a distorted octahedral geometry with a conformationally restricted “PHXR” ligand is observed crystallographically; this structure is appreciably retained in solution, as determined from multinuclear NMR spectroscopic features, which include a Karplus-like PPh3-Ru-P-H spin-spin coupling dependence. Computational data suggest a silyl-induced increase in negative charge density at the phosphaalkenic carbon, rather than an intrinsic thermodynamic driver, as the likely origin of the disparate reactivity.
