Carbon−Carbon Bond Formation between Adjacent Alkenyl Ligands:  η3-Allyl Iridium(III) and η4-Butadiene Iridium(I) Complexes from a cis-Bis(alkenyl) Iridium(III) Complex

Abstract: A carbon−carbon bond is formed between the α-carbons of the alkenyl ligands of the cis-bis(ethenyl)iridium complex [Ir(−CHCH2)2(CH3CN)2(PPh3)2]+ (2) to produce the η3-allyl complex [Ir(η3-CH3CHCHCH2)(NCCH3)2(PPh3)2]2+ (4) in the reaction of 2 with H+, and η4-butadiene complexes Ir(η4-CH2CHCHCH2)(A)(PPh3)2 (A = −CHCH-+NEt3 (6), −C⋮CR (7)) in reactions of 2 with terminal alkynes (RC⋮CH; R = H, Ph, and p-C6H4CH3) in the presence of NEt3. The deuterium labeling experiments suggest an initial attack of H+ on th… Show more

“…In particular, thermally induced reactions of C−C reductive elimination have not been observed even under harsh experimental conditions. In this respect, the behavior of these bis-alkenyl and alkenyl-alkyl compounds is similar to that reported for the related bis-phosphine cation [Ir(CHCH 2 ) 2 (NCCH 3 ) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] + , although is different from that of the monophosphine analogues [Ir(CHCHR) 2 (NCCH 3 ) 2 -(P i Pr 3 )] + , postulated as intermediates in the formation of Ir(I) butadiene complexes . However, complexes 7 − 11 have been found to readily react with a new equivalent of 2-vinylpyridine.…”

“…The dehydrocoupling of ethene at rhodium centers to form butadiene complexes has been previously observed and mechanisms based on initial oxidative coupling or C–H bond activation have been proposed. Such processes are also related to alkene oligomerization reactions . Interestingly, the complex RhTp*­(C 2 H 4 ) 2 [Tp* = tris­(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazol-1-yl)­hydroborate] undergoes dehydrocoupling to give a butadiene complex in solution (with the concomitant release of ethane), but in the solid state, a hydrido-allyl species is formed …”

“…Thus the protonation of cis ‐bis(ethenyl)iridium complex [Ir(―CHCH 2 ) 2 (CH 3 CN) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] + ( 48 ) produces the η 3 ‐allyl complex [Ir(η 3 ‐CH 3 CHCHCH 2 )(NCCH 3 ) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] 2+ ( 49 ) by the initial attack of proton on the β‐carbon of an ethenyl ligand, leading to C―C bond formation as suggested by the deuterium‐labeling experiments. Also η 4 ‐butadiene complexes Ir(η 4 ‐CH 2 CHCHCH 2 )(A)(PPh 3 ) 2 (A) ―CHCH― + NEt 3 ( 51 ), ―C≡CR ( 52 ) were prepared upon reaction of 48 with terminal alkynes (RC≡CH; R = Ph, and p ‐C 6 H 4 CH 3 ) in the presence of NEt 3 (Scheme ).…”
