Intramolecular Oxidation of the Alcohol Functionalities in Hydroxyalkyl‐N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Iridium and Rhodium

Abstract: A series of hydroxyalkyl‐functionalized imidazolium salts have been coordinated to Rh and Ir to afford the corresponding MCp*–(NHC) (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) complexes. The reactivity of the new complexes has been studied with special attention to the transformations that deal with the alcohol functionality. The metal‐mediated intramolecular transformations allowed the formation of several products that resulted from the oxidation of the alcohols to aldehydes and esters. All the new complexes have been… Show more

“…The M-C* (Table 2) are within the range reported in the literature for analogous Rh(III) and Ir(III) complexes with Cp* co-ligands. 12,32,[35][36][37][38][39] The M-C2 bond in complexes 4b, 4d and 5b with the small methyl substituent on the imidazolyl ring is significantly shorter than the equivalent bond in the analogous complexes with the mesityl substituent 4a, 4c and 5a ( Table 2). The longer M-C2 bond in complexes with a mesityl substituent is likely to be due to steric repulsion between the Cp* and the bulky mesityl group.…”

“…The high tendency of the N-hydroxyethyl group to undergo oxidation and cyclometalation with [Cp*IrCl 2 ] 2 in the presence of a weak base was also reported by Peris and co-workers. 78 Complexes 105a-c were obtained by the direct reaction of the corresponding hydroxyethyl-substituted azolium salts with [Cp*IrCl 2 ] 2 in refluxing methanol in the presence of Cs 2 CO 3 . Even when the less electrondonating triazolylidene ligand was used, the similar cyclometalated species 105d could be formed (Scheme 41).…”

“…Examples of ruthenium complexes (numbered 1-5 as seen in Figure 1), produced by chelating NHCs bearing oxygen [9,10], phosphorous [11,12], allyl [13], sulphur [14] and nitrogen [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] moieties, have been used successfully as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation reaction. Peris and coworkers reported on rhodium and ruthenium complexes derived from an NHC ligand functionalised with a pendant alcohol [27]. In our case, a bidentate NHC-Ru(II) complex with a tethered carboxylate group was obtained by transmetallation of silver(I)-NHC to ruthenium(II) in dry dichloromethane (DCM).…”
