Optical resolution of {pi}-thiophene complexes (C{sub 6}Me{sub 6}) Ru(2-RC{sub 4}H{sub 3}S){sup 2+} and related studies
- Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL (United States)
Diasteriomeric iminium thiolato complexes were prepared by the addition of S-(-)-{alpha}-methylbenzylamine to the {pi}-thiophene complexes [(C{sub 6}Me{sub 6})Ru(2-RC{sub 4}H{sub 3}S)]{sup 2+}, where R = Me(1{sup 2+}), CH{sub 2}OH (3{sup 2+}), and 2-C{sub 4}H{sub 3}S(6{sup 2+}). After chromatographic separation, the diastereomers were treated with HOTf to generate optically pure {pi}-thiophene complexes. The absolute configuration of [(C{sub 6}Me{sub 6})RuSCMeC{sub 2}H{sub 2}(CHNHCHMePh)]OTf, (-)-2(OTf), was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction; the monohydrate crystallized in the acentric space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}. Base hydrolysis of (-)-1{sup 2+} gave the formyl thiolato complex (-)-9{sub kin}, which isomerized to (+)-9{sub therm} with inversion of configuration at Ru, as indicated by circular dichroism measurements. The methyl ester of the amino acid (L)-phenylalanine was shown to add to (C{sub 6}Me{sub 6})Ru(C{sub 4}H{sub 4}S){sup 2+} to give a 2:1 mixture of diastereomeric iminium thiolato complexes. 19 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
