Abstract
The dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane (DMAB) catalyzed by the iminophosphonamide rhodium(III) complexes [Cp*RhCl{Ph2P(N–p-Tol)(NR)}] (Iа, R = p-Tol; Ib, R = Me) as well as their in situ formed fulvene [(η4-C5Me4CH2)Rh(NPN)] (IIa, IIb) and diene [(η4-C5Me5H)Rh(NPN)] (IIIa, IIIb) rhodium(I) derivatives is studied. Catalysts IIIa and IIIb turn out to be the most active and demonstrate a TOF activity of 110 (IIIа) and 540 h–1 (IIIb) at 40°С in toluene. The activity decreases significantly in more polar and coordinating THF. At the same time, the rate of DMAB dehydrogenation by complexes Iа and Ib is lower by 10–30 times, and fulvene complexes Iа and Ib are rapidly deactivated after the active initial period (<20% conversion). The kinetic studies show that the reaction has the first order with respect to the substrate and the catalyst. The model 11В NMR experiments confirm that the reaction proceeds via the intermediate formation of a monomer Me2N=BH2, which rapidly dimerizes to (Me2N–BH2)2. The mechanism of DMAB dehydrogenation with the formation of unstable hydride intermediate [Cp*RhH{Ph2P(N–p-Tol)(NR)}] (IVa, IVb) is proposed on the basis of the preliminarily 31Р NMR results and published data.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
