Preparation and reductive elimination of (. eta. sup 3 -allyl)(aryl)nickel(II) complexes: Unusually facile. eta. sup 3 -allyl-aryl coupling on nickel having an 18-electron configuration
- Osaka Univ. (Japan)
The preparation and NMR spectral characterization of complexes of the type ({eta}{sup 3}-allyl)(aryl)(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) (aryl = C{sub 6}H{sub 3}Cl{sub 2}-2,5, C{sub 6}F{sub 5}), 4, are described. Addition of PPh{sub 3} to a solution of 4 did not result in the formation of ({eta}{sup 1}-allyl)nickel intermediate as was deduced from {sup 1}H NMR measurements, in contrast to the ready conversion of ({eta}{sup 3}-allyl)palladium to ({eta}{sup 1}-allyl)palladium species. The (dichlorophenyl)nickel derivative underwent reductive elimination ca. 26 times as fast as the corresponding palladium complex. Addition of chelating diphosphine (Ph{sub 2}PCH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}PPh{sub 2}, (Z)-Ph{sub 2}PCH{double bond}CHPPh{sub 2}) to the solution of the above nickel complexes afforded stereochemically nonrigid 18-electron {eta}{sup 3}-allyl complexes, Ni({eta}{sup 3}-allyl)(aryl)(diphos), 5, which have been characterized by low-temperature {sup 1}H, {sup 13}C, and {sup 31}P NMR spectra for the C{sub 6}F{sub 5} analogues. This behavior is again different from that of the palladium analogue, which has an identical composition in which the 16-electron {eta}{sup 1}-allyl form is the ground-state structure. The kinetics of the reductive elimination of complexes 5 revealed that these undergo reductive elimination quite readily, with {Delta}H{sup {double dagger}} being ca. 60 kJ/mol lower than those values for the parent 16-electron counterparts 4. Also presented is evidence against the significant contribution of a short-lived 16-electron {eta}{sup 1}-allyl isomer of 5 to the enhanced reactivity with regard to the C-C coupling step in the diphosphine/allylnickel system.
