Cp*Ir(NHC) complexes as highly versatile and efficient catalysts for the cross-coupling of alcohols and amines
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparative study on the catalytic activity of a series of Cp*Ir(NHC)Cl2 complexes in several C-O and C-N coupling processes implying hydrogen-borrowing mechanisms has been performed. The compound Cp*Ir(I)Cl2 (I = 1,3-di-n-butylimidazolylidene) showed to be highly effective in the cross coupling reactions of amines and alcohols, providing high yields in the production of unsymmetrical ethers and N-alkylated amines. A remarkable feature is that the processes were carried out in the absence of base, phosphine or any other external additive. A comparative study with other well known catalysts, such as Shvo’s catalyst, is also reported.

A simple high-yielding method for the preparation of a tetramethylcyclopentadienyl-NHC ligand is described. This ligand has been successfully coordinated to Rh and Ir. A related Cp*-NHC ligand with a -CH(2)CMePh- linker between the Cp* and the NHC is also described, together with its coordination to Rh and Ir. This latter ligand, affords the orthocyclometallation of the phenyl ring yielding a c...

Gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (Au-NHC) with symmetric (bis-benzyl, -propyl and -mesityl substituents) and dissymmetric (mesityl and alkyl--benzyl or propyl--substituents) NHC ligands were synthesized and tested as catalysts for the addition of methanol to 3-hexyne, as a representative internal alkyne. While symmetric ones--bis-alkyl (propyl or benzyl) or bis-mesityl systems--displaye...
