Catalytic carbon--carbon and carbon--silicon bond activation and functionalization by nickel complexes
The nickel alkyne complexes (dippe)Ni(Me{sub 3}SiC{triple{underscore}bond}CSiMe{sub 3}), 1, (dippe)Ni(Me{sub 3}CC{triple{underscore}bond}CSiMe{sub 3}), 2, and (dippe)Ni(MeC{triple{underscore}bond}CSiMe{sub 3}), 3, were synthesized (dippe = bis(diisopropylphosphino)-ethane) and characterized by {sup 1}H, {sup 31}P, and {sup 13}C{l{underscore}brace}{sup 1}H{r{underscore}brace} NMR spectroscopy. Complex 1 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. Heating complex 1, 2, or 3 with excess biphenylene and alkyne results in the catalytic formation of several novel organic compounds, several of which have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. These reactions are proposed to proceed by a competition between {Beta}-silyl migration from an acetylene insertion intermediate and elimination of phenanthrene. Mechanistic schemes are presented for these reactions.
