Description
Summary:The synthesis, characterization and fluxional behaviour of novel heteroscorpionate rare-earth (including the group 3 metals, scandium and yttrium) complexes are reported. The reaction of acetamide and thioacetamide heteroscorpionate protio-ligands pbptamH, tbptamH, pbpamH and ( S )-mbpamH with 1 equivalent of tris(silylamide) precursors [M{N(SiHMe 2 ) 2 } 3 (thf) n ] ( n = 1, M = Sc; n = 2, M = Y, Lu) proceeded to give good yields of neutral heteroscorpionate disilylamide complexes [M{N(SiHMe 2 ) 2 } 2 (κ 3 -pbptam)(thf) n ] (M = Sc, n = 0, 1 ; M = Y, n = 1, 2 ; M = Lu, n = 1, 3 ), [M{N(SiHMe 2 ) 2 } 2 (κ 3 -tbptam)(thf) n ] (M = Sc, n = 0, 4 ; M = Y, n = 1, 5 ; M = Lu, n = 1, 6 ), [M{N(SiHMe 2 ) 2 } 2 (κ 3 -pbpam)(thf) n ] (M = Sc, n = 0, 7 ; M = Y, n = 1, 8 ; M = Lu, n = 1, 9 ) and [M{N(SiHMe 2 ) 2 } 2 {κ 3 -( S )-mbpam}(thf) n ] (M = Sc, n = 0, 10 ; M = Y, n = 1, 11 ; M = Lu, n = 1, 12 ). Scandium complexes were isolated as THF-free compounds with a pseudo five-coordinate environment, while yttrium and lutetium complexes were isolated with an octahedral geometry due to the coordination of a THF molecule. The fluxionality of complexes 1-12 in solution was investigated by VT NMR spectroscopy. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods and the X-ray crystal structure of 1 was also established. Complexes 1-12 are efficient catalysts for the intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkenes, with TOF values up to 198 h −1 obtained at 70 °C for 2,2-diphenyl-pent-4-enylamine ( 13 ) using complex 11 as a catalyst. Enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee were achieved with the cyclization of aminoalkene 13 using the single enantiopure complex 12 . The hydroamination reactions showed a zero-order rate dependence on substrate concentration and first-order rate dependence on catalyst concentration. New amide heteroscorpionate rare-earth complexes were developed and used as efficient catalysts for the intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkenes.
