Chapter 1 deals with the reaction of [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] with para-substituted 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diynes at room temperature, in which a complex containing a bidentate organic fulvene moiety, composed of two diynes, σ-bound to the rhodium center is formed in an all-carbon [3+2] type cyclization reaction. In addition, a complex containing an organic indene moiety, composed of three diynes, attached to the rhodium center in a bis-σ-manner is formed in a [3+2+3] cyclization process.
Reactions at 100 °C reveal that the third diyne inserts between the rhodium center and the bis-σ-bound organic fulvene moiety. Furthermore, the formation of a 2,5- and a 2,4-bis(arylethynyl)rhodacyclopentadiene is observed. The unique [3+2] cyclization product was used for the synthesis of a highly conjugated organic molecule, which is hard to access or even inaccessible by conventional methods. Thus, at elevated temperatures, reaction of the [3+2] product with para-tolyl isocyanate led to the formation of a purple organic compound containing the organic fulvene structure and one equivalent of para-tolyl isocyanate.
The blue and green [3+2+3] complexes show an unusually broad absorption from 500 – 1000 nm with extinction coefficients ε of up to 11000 M-1 cm-1. The purple organic molecule shows an absorption spectrum similar to those of known diketopyrrolopyrroles.
Additionally, the reaction of [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] with para-tolyl isocyanate was investigated. A cis-phosphine complex of the form cis-[Rh(acac)(PMe3)2(isocyanate)2] with an isocyanate dimer bound to the rhodium center by one carbon and one oxygen atom was isolated.
Replacing the trimethylphosphine ligands in [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] with the stronger σ-donating NHC ligand Me2Im (1,3-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene), again, drastically alters the reaction. Similar [3+2] and [3+2+3] products to those discussed above could not be unambiguously assigned, but cis- and trans-π-complexes, which are in an equilibrium with the two starting materials, were formed.
Chapters 2 is about the influence of the backbone of the α,ω-diynes on the formation and photophysical properties of 2,5-bis(aryl)rhodacyclopentadienes. Therefore, different α,ω-diynes were reacted with [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] and [Rh(acac)(P(p-tolyl)3)2] in equimolar amounts. In general, a faster consumption of the rhodium(I) starting material is observed while using preorganized α,ω-diynes with electron withdrawing substituents in the backbone. The isolated PMe3-substituted rhodacyclopentadienes exhibit fluorescence, despite the presence of the heavy atom rhodium, with lifetimes τF of < 1 ns and photoluminescence quantum yields Φ of < 0.01 as in previously reported P(p-tolyl)-substituted 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)rhodacyclopentadienes. However, an isolated P(p-tolyl)-substituted 2,5-bis(aryl)rhodacyclopentadiene shows multiple lifetimes and different absorption and excitation spectra leading to the conclusion that different species may be present.
Reaction of [Rh(acac)(Me2Im)2] with dimethyl 4,4'-(naphthalene-1,8-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))dibenzoate, results in the formation of a mixture trans- and cis-NHC-substituted 2,5-bis(aryl)rhodacyclopentadienes.
In chapter 3 the reaction of various acac- and diethyldithiocarbamate-substituted rhodium(I) catalysts bearing (chelating)phosphines with α,ω-bis(arylethynyl)alkanes (α,ω-diynes), yielding luminescent dimers and trimers, is described. The photophysical properties of dimers and trimers of the α,ω-diynes were investigated and compared to para-terphenyl, showing a lower quantum yield and a larger apparent Stokes shift.
Furthermore, a bimetallic rhodium(I) complex of the form [Rh2(ox)(P(p-tolyl)3)4] (ox: oxalate) was reacted with a CO2Me-substituted α,ω-tetrayne forming a complex in which only one rhodium(I) center reacts with the α,ω-tetrayne. The photophysical properties of this mixed rhodium(I)/(III) species shows only negligible differences compared to the P(p-tolyl)- and CO2Me-substituted 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)rhodacyclopentadiene, previously synthesized by Marder and co-workers.
The purpose of the present work was, in the first part, to investigate the potential of iron-based metal complexes in catalytic borylation reactions with alkyl halides as substrates and B2pin2 as the borylation reagent. Moreover, extended studies of the recently reported, copper mediated borylation reactions of aryl halides were performed, including the screening of substrates and alkoxy bases as well as ligand-screening. Investigations were undertaken on the role of Cu-nanoparticles, which might be involved in this catalytic reaction. Furthermore, Cu-phosphine complexes were synthesized as precursors, but attempts to isolate Cu-boryl species which are intermediates in the proposed catalytic cycle were unsuccessful, although 11B NMR evidence for a Cu-boryl complex was obtained.
In the second part of this work, the alternative, Lewis-acidic diboron(4) compound bis(ethylene glycolato)diboron (B2eg2) was synthesized to compare its reactivity with the reactivity of other diboron(4) compounds (e.g. B2neop2, B2cat2, B2pin2 and B2(NMe2)4). Therefore, reactions of B2eg2 with different Lewis-bases, such as NHCs and phosphines, were performed to investigate the possible formation of sp2-sp3 or sp3-sp3 adducts and ring-expansion reactions (RERs).
The aim was to obtain a better general insight into the reactivity of diboron(4) compounds with Lewis-bases because they are both used as reactants in transition metal-catalyzed and metal-free borylation reactions. Understanding the B–B bond activation process promoted by Lewis-bases provides a new perspective on the reaction pathways available for various borylation reactions.
Carba-closo-dodecaboranylethinyl-Liganden und deren Einsatz als Liganden für Münzmetall(I)-Komplexe
(2018)
Ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Synthese von mehrfach funktionalisierten Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anionen, um lineare Bausteine für höhermolekulare Netzwerke zu generieren. Speziell funktionelle Gruppen, die entweder zwei Koordinationstellen aufweisen oder weitere Funktionalisierungen ermöglichen, stehen im Fokus. Des Weiteren soll die Koordinationschemie von Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anionen mit Ethinylgruppen am antipodalen Boratom, besonders in Hinsicht auf die Bildung von Münzmetall(I)-Komplexen untersucht werden.
Im Rahmen dieser Themengebiete wurden zahlreiche zweifach funktionalisierte Derivate des Carba-closo-dodecaboratanions synthetisiert. Drei ausgewählte Anionen sind in Abbildung 141 gezeigt. Überdies wurde mit der Synthese von [1-H2CHCC(O)NH-closo-1-CB11H11]- gezeigt, dass die Aminofunktion derivatisiert werden kann. Diese Resultate ermöglichen die Synthese einer breiten Palette an linearen Bausteinen, beispielsweise für die Verwendung als Linker in höhermolekularen Netzwerken.Zudem wurden Bausteine synthetisiert, welche über Wasserstoffbrücken-bindungen lineare Stränge bilden . Aufgrund des, für Carboxylgruppen selten beobachteten Motivs von tetrameren Einheiten mit dem Graph-Set-Deskriptor [R44(16)] sticht die Struktur von
[1-HO(O)C-12-HCC-closo-1-CB11H10]- besonders hervor, da normalerweise für Carbonsäuren die Bildung von Dimeren bevorzugt ist.[129-131] Die maximale Länge des tetrameren, cyclischen Bausteins beträgt 2.24 nm. Das Anion [1-H2N(O)C-12-HCC-closo-1-CB11H10]- bildet einen linearen Strang mit einer Länge von 2.10 nm, welcher an beiden Enden funktionelle Gruppen trägt. Ein interessantes Einsatzgebiet von derartigen Verbindungen ist wiederum die Verwendung als Liganden im Bereich von Münzmetall(I)-Komplexen, wie sie beispielsweise von Himmelspach et al.[87] synthetisiert wurden, wobei in diesem Fall über das Wasserstoffbrückenbindungsmotiv ein Verknüpfungspunkt vorhanden wäre, um höhermolekulare Netzwerke zu bilden.
Des Weiteren wurde der elektronische Einfluss verschiedener funktioneller Gruppen auf die Polarisierung der Alkinylfunktion über das {closo-CB11}-Gerüst untersucht. Die Differenzen der experimentellen und berechneten chemischen Verschiebungen der Alkinylresonanzen stehen in linearem Zusammenhang mit der berechneten Differenz der NBO-Ladung des entsprechenden Clusters, wie Abbildung 143 zu entnehmen ist. Im Vergleich mit in 1,4-Position substituierten Derivaten von Benzol und Bicyclo[2.2.2]oktan wird deutlich, dass bei dem Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anion in größerem Maße induktive Effekte eine Rolle spielen, aber zu einem gewissen Teil auch mesomere Effekte über das {closo-1-CB11}-Gerüst vermittelt werden. Dementsprechend ist das Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anion zwischen den beiden Extremfällen Benzol - mit dominierenden mesomeren Effekten - und Bicyclo[2.2.2]oktan - mit reinen induktiven Effekten - einzuordnen.Durch die Verwendung ausgewählter funktionalisierter Pyridinderivate wurde ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher AgI-Cluster synthetisiert. Mit Pyridin und 4-Me-Pyridin ist die Struktur im Festkörper ein Oktaeder. Bei Verwendung von 4 tBu-Pyridin wird neben eines, auf einer Seite geöffneten Oktaeders, auch ein stark verzerrtes geschlossenes Oktaeder beobachtet. Wird 4-F3C-Pyridin als Ligand verwendet, werden je nach Reaktionstemperatur zwei verschiedene geometrische Grundgerüste im Festkörper erhalten. Bei Temperaturen über 20 °C wird ein Oktaeder und bei Temperaturen unter 15 °C ein Dekaeder aus AgI-Ionen im Festkörper gebildet. Bei Einsatz von 3,5-Me-Lutidin hingegen formt sich eine pentagonale Bipyramide.Diese Komplexe phosphoreszieren bei Raumtemperatur, was für diese Verbindungsklasse sehr selten beobachtet wird. Des Weiteren konnten Informationen hinsichtlich der Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehung solcher Komplexe erhalten werden, so wird die Quantenausbeute der einzelnen Komplexe maßgeblich von der Struktur beeinflusst wird. Während das am häufigsten beobachtete geometrische Grundgerüst das Oktaeder ist und die Quantenausbeuten für diese Serie von Clustern in einem Bereich zwischen 0.01 und 0.14 liegen, wird bei Verwendung von 3,5-Me2-Lutidin als Ligand eine pentagonale Bipyramide gebildet, die sich darüber hinaus mit einer Quantenausbeute von 0.76 deutlich von allen anderen bislang synthetisierten Komplexen hervorhebt.
Mit den eben erwähnten Silber(I)-Komplexen wurden Ergebnisse bei Umsetzungen mit halogenidhaltigen Salzen erhalten. Auch hier wurden Unterschiede bei den verschiedenen Liganden beobachtet und bei Verwendung von 3,5-Me2-Lutidin wurden, in Abhängigkeit der verwendeten Kationen der eingesetzten Halogenid-Salze, unterschiedliche Komplexe erhalten. Im Falle des [Et4N]+-Kations bleibt die pentagonale Bipyramide erhalten und [Et4N][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-Me2-C5H3N)9] bildet sich, während bei Verwendung des [Ph4P]+-Kations [Ph4P][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-(Me)2C5H3N)13] erhalten wird und die Struktur im Kristall ist mit der von [Ag(C5H5N)4][(Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(C5H5N)11] verwandt. Die Struktur-Eigenschaft-Beziehung der Komplexe wird hierbei bestätigt, da für beide Komplexe sehr unterschiedliche Quantenausbeuten gemessen werden. Der Cluster mit dem pentagonal bipyramidalen Aufbau [Et4N][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-Me2-C5H3N)8] hat eine Quantenausbeute von 0.23 gemessen, während die Quantenausbeute im Fall von [Ph4P][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-(Me)2C5H3N)13] nur 0.04 beträgt. Dies belegt, dass die Struktur des AgI-Clusters im Festkörper die Lumineszenzeigenschaften maßgeblich bestimmt.
Des Weiteren wurden verschiedene Münzmetallkomplexe mit Carboranyl-ethinyl- und Triphenylphosphan-Liganden synthetisiert . Auch diese Komplexe lumineszieren bei Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht. Im Falle des gemischten Komplexes {12-(Ph3PAu)((Ph3P)2Ag)]-CC-closo-1-CB11H11} konnte die Quantenausbeute auf 0.39 im Vergleich zu den reinen AgI- und AuI-Verbindungen erhöht werden. In diesen Fällen liegt die Quantenausbeute bei lediglich 0.01 beziehungsweise 0.02.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Synthese und den Eigenschaften verschiedener NHC-stabilisierter Kobaltkomplexe. Der Fokus liegt dabei einerseits auf der Entwicklung geeigneter Organokobaltverbindungen, welche sich in CVD bzw. ALD-Prozessen zur Abscheidung von elementarem Kobalt eignen. Hierfür wurden verschiedene NHC-stabilisierte sowie gemischt substituierte Kobalt(carbonyl)(nitrosyl)komplexe dargestellt und die thermischen Eigenschaften dieser Verbindungen untersucht. Andererseits wurden Studien zur Synthese und Reaktivität NHC-stabilisierter Halbsandwichverbindungen des Kobalts durchgeführt. Dabei wurde unter anderem überprüft, inwiefern sich der sterische Einfluss des NHC-Liganden auf die Fähigkeiten auswirkt, Element-Element-Bindungen in Silanen und Diboranen zu aktivieren. Ferner wurden weitere Untersuchungen zur Reaktivität derartiger Komplexe, insbesondere gegenüber Alkinen, vorgenommen. Ein weiterer Teil dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Darstellung und Reaktivität NHC-Phosphiniden-stabilisierter Kobaltverbindungen.

(2019)
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Synthese und Charakterisierung NHC-stabilisierter Nickelkomplexe, die durch weitere Co-Liganden wie Carbonyle, Olefine, Alkine, Alkyle, Cyanide oder Allylliganden koordiniert sind. Ferner gibt diese Arbeit einen Überblick über die thermischen Eigenschaften dieser Verbindungen, um deren Potenzial für den Einsatz zur Abscheidung elementaren Nickels in CVD- bzw. ALD-Prozessen abschätzen zu können. Dabei konnten vor allem die Substanzklassen der Carbonyl- und Alkylkomplexe als geeignete Präkursoren für die Gasphasenabscheidung elementaren Nickels identifiziert werden, von denen einige ausgewählte Vertreter bereits erfolgreich in CVD-Prozessen getestet wurden.
This thesis describes the synthesis and reactivity of NHC-stabilized Lewis-acid/Lewis-base adducts of alanes and gallanes (NHC = Me2ImMe, iPr2Im, iPr2ImMe, Dipp2Im, Dipp2ImH). As this field of research has developed tremendously, especially in the last five years, the first chapter provides an overview of the current state of knowledge.
The influence of electronegative π-donor-substituents on the stability of the NHC alane adducts is examined in chapter 2. For this purpose, the carbene stabilized alanes (NHC)∙AlH3 (NHC = iPr2Im, Dipp2Im) were reacted with secondary amines of different steric demand and with phenols. The π-donor substituents saturate the Lewis acidic aluminium center and coordination of a second NHC-ligand was not observed. The strongly electronegative N and O substituents increase the Lewis acidity of the aluminium atom, which leads to stronger Al-CNHC as well as Al-H bonds, which inhibits the insertion of the carbene into the Al-H bond.
In Chapter 3 the development of the synthesis and reactivity of carbene-stabilized gallanes is presented. The synthesis of NHC gallane adducts (NHC)∙GaH3, (NHC)∙GaH2Cl and (NHC)∙GaHCl2 and their reactivity towards NHCs and cAACMe were investigated in detail. The reaction of the mono- and dichlorogallanes (NHC)∙GaH2Cl and (NHC)∙GaHCl2 (NHC = iPr2ImMe, Dipp2Im) with cAACMe led to insertion of the cAACMe with formation of chiral and achiral compounds depending on the sterically demand of the used NHC. Furthermore, the formation of bis-alkylgallanes was observed for the insertion of two equivalents of cAACMe with release of the NHC ligand.
Chapter 4 describes investigations concerning the synthesis and reactivity of NHC-stabilized iodoalanes and iodogallanes, which are suitable for the formation of cationic aluminium and gallium dihydrides. The reaction of (NHC)∙EH2I (E = Al, Ga) stabilized by the sterically less demanding NHCs (NHC = Me2ImMe, iPr2Im, iPr2ImMe) with an additional equivalent of the NHC led to the formation of the cationic bis-NHC aluminium and gallium dihydrides [(NHC)2∙AlH2]+I- and [(NHC)2∙GaH2]+I-. Furthermore, the influence of the steric demand of the used NHC was investigated. The adduct (Dipp2Im)∙GaH2I was reacted with an additional equivalent of Dipp2Im. Due to the bulk of the NHC used, rearrangement of one of the NHC ligands from normal to abnormal coordination occurred and the cationic gallium dihydride [(Dipp2Im)∙GaH2(aDipp2Im)] was isolated.
Chapter 5 of this thesis reports investigations concerning the reduction of cyclopentadienyl-substituted alanes and gallanes with singlet carbenes. NHC stabilized pentamethylcyclopentadienyl aluminium and gallium dihydrides (NHC)∙Cp*MH2 (E = Al, Ga) were prepared by the reaction of (AlH2Cp*)3 with the corresponding NHCs or by the salt elimination of (NHC)∙GaH2I with KCp*. The gallane adducts decompose at higher temperatures with reductive elimination of Cp*H and formation of Cp*GaI. . The reductive elimination is preferred for sterically demanding NHCs (Dipp2Im > iPr2ImMe > Me2ImMe). In addition, NHC ring expansion of the backbone saturated carbene Dipp2ImH was observed for the reaction of the NHC with (AlH2Cp*)3, which led to (RER-Dipp2ImHH2)AlCp*. Furthermore, the reactivity of the adducts (NHC)∙Cp*EH2 (E = Al, Ga) towards cAACMe was investigated. The reaction of the alane adducts stabilized by the sterically more demanding NHCs iPr2ImMe and Dipp2Im afforded the exceptionally stable insertion product (cAACMeH)Cp*AlH V-10 with liberation of the NHC. The reaction of the gallium hydrides (NHC)∙Cp*GaH2 with cAACMe led to the reductive elimination of cAACMeH2 and formation of Cp*GaI.
A variety of neutral and cationic carbene-stabilized alanes and gallanes are presented in this work. The introduction of electronegative π-donor substituents (Cl-, I-, OR-, NR2-) and the investigations on the thermal stability of these compounds led to the conclusion that the stability of alanes and gallanes increased significantly by such a substitution. Investigations on the reactivity of the NHC adducts towards cAACMe resulted in various insertion products of the carbene into the Al-H or Ga-H bonds and the first cAACMe stabilized dichlorogallane was isolated. Furthermore, a first proof was provided that carbenes can be used specifically for the (formal) reduction of group 13 hydrides of the higher homologues. Thus, the synthesis of Cp*GaI from the reaction of (NHC)∙Cp*GaH2 with cAACMe was developed. In the future, this reaction pathway could be of interest for the preparation of other low-valent compounds of aluminium and gallium.
The thesis discusses aspects of the photocatalytic water oxidation reaction. The first chapter deals with a supramolecular macrocycle which contains three ruthenium metal centers. This novel catalyst shows promising catalytic activity and provides insides into the mechanism of the water oxidation reaction. After this part, the focus lies on the light interacting components of the photocatalytic water oxidation. In this regard, the azabenz-annulated perylene derivatives appeared to be a promising dye class. The combination of these chromophores and metal complexes result in metal organic compounds, which have photosensitizer potential.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit war es möglich, diverse Lewis-Basen für deren Einsatz zur Stabilisierung niedervalenter Borverbindungen zu testen. Dabei wurden neuartige Mono- und Diboran(4)-Addukte mit mesoionischen Carbenen, Phosphanen und Alkyl-verbrückten Carbenen synthetisiert, charakterisiert und deren Reduktionsverhalten getestet. Des Weiteren konnte gezeigt werden, dass elektronenreiche Bis(amidinato)- und Bis(guanidinato)silylene eine diverse Vielfalt an Reaktionstypen induzieren und dabei zu Redox-Reaktionen und Ligandenübertrag neigen.
The catalytic splitting of water into its elements is an important reaction to establish hydrogen as a solar fuel. The bottle-neck of this process is considered to be the oxidative half reaction generating oxygen, and good catalysts are required to handle the complicated redox chemistry involved. As can be learned from nature, the incorporation of the catalytically active species into an appropriate matrix can help to improve the overall performance. Thus, the aim of the present thesis was to establish novel supramolecular approaches to improve water oxidation catalysis using the catalytically active {Ru(bda)} fragment as key motive (bda = 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylate).
First, the synthesis of ruthenium catalysts gathering three {Ru(bda)} water oxidation subunits in a macrocyclic fashion is described. By using bridging bipyridine ligands of different lengths, metallosupramolecular macrocycles with distinct sizes have been obtained. Interestingly, an intermediate ring size has been proven to be optimal for the catalytic water oxidation. Detailed kinetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies helped to identify the reaction mechanism and to rationalize the different catalytic activities. Furthermore, solubilizing side chains have been introduced for the most active derivative to achieve full water solubility.
Secondly, the {Ru(bda)} fragment was embedded into supramolecular aggregates to generate more stable catalytic systems compared to a homogeneous reference complex. Therefore, the catalyst fragment was equipped with axial perylene bisimide (PBI) ligands, which facilitate self-assembly. Moreover, the influence of the different accessible aggregate morphologies on the catalytic performance has been investigated.
Organoboron compounds are important building blocks in organic synthesis, materials science, and drug discovery. The development of practical and convenient ways to synthesize boronate esters attracted significant interest. Photoinduced borylations originated with stoichiometric reactions of arenes and alkanes with well-defined metal-boryl complexes. Now photoredox-initiated borylations, catalyzed either by transition-metal or organic photocatalysts, and photochemical borylations with high efficiency have become a burgeoning area of research. In this chapter, we summarize research in the field of photocatalytic C-X borylation, especially emphasizing recent developments and trends, based on transition-metal catalysis, metal-free organocatalysis and direct photochemical activation. We focus on reaction mechanisms involving single electron transfer (SET), triplet energy transfer (TET), and other radical processes.
We developed a highly selective photocatalytic C-F borylation method that employs a rhodium biphenyl complex as a triplet sensitizer and the nickel catalyst [Ni(IMes)2] (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene) for the C-F bond activation and defluoroborylation process. This tandem catalyst system operates with visible (400 nm) light and achieves borylation of a wide range of fluoroarenes with B2pin2 at room temperature in excellent yields and with high selectivity. Direct irradiation of the intermediary C-F bond oxidative addition product trans-[NiF(ArF)(IMes)2] leads to fast decomposition when B2pin2 is present. This destructive pathway can be bypassed by indirect excitation of the triplet states of the nickel(II) complex via the photoexcited rhodium biphenyl complex. Mechanistic studies suggest that the exceptionally long-lived triplet excited state of the Rh biphenyl complex used as the photosensitizer allows for efficient triplet energy transfer to trans-[NiF(ArF)(IMes)2], which leads to dissociation of one of the NHC ligands. This contrasts with the majority of current photocatalytic transformations, which employ transition metals as excited state single electron transfer agents. We have previously reported that C(arene)-F bond activation with [Ni(IMes)2] is facile at room temperature, but that the transmetalation step with B2pin2 is associated with a high energy barrier. Thus, this triplet energy transfer ultimately leads to a greatly enhanced rate constant for the transmetalation step and thus for the whole borylation process. While addition of a fluoride source such as CsF enhances the yield, it is not absolutely required. We attribute this yield-enhancing effect to (i) formation of an anionic adduct of B2pin2, i.e. FB2pin2-, as an efficient, much more nucleophilic {Bpin-} transfer reagent for the borylation/transmetalation process, and/or (ii) trapping of the Lewis acidic side product FBpin by formation of [F2Bpin]- to avoid the formation of a significant amount of NHC-FBpin and consequently of decomposition of {Ni(NHC)2} species in the reaction mixture.
We reported a highly selective and general photo-induced C-Cl borylation protocol that employs [Ni(IMes)2] (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazoline-2-ylidene) for the radical borylation of chloroarenes. This photo-induced system operates with visible light (400 nm) and achieves borylation of a wide range of chloroarenes with B2pin2 at room temperature in excellent yields and with high selectivity, thereby demonstrating its broad utility and functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the borylation reactions proceed via a radical process. EPR studies demonstrate that [Ni(IMes)2] undergoes very fast chlorine atom abstraction from aryl chlorides to give [NiI(IMes)2Cl] and aryl radicals. Control experiments indicate that light promotes the reaction of [NiI(IMes)2Cl] with aryl chlorides generating additional aryl radicals and [NiII(IMes)2Cl2]. The aryl radicals react with an anionic sp2-sp3 diborane [B2pin2(OMe)]- formed from B2pin2 and KOMe to yield the corresponding borylation product and the [Bpin(OMe)]•- radical anion, which reduces [NiII(IMes)2Cl2] under irradiation to regenerate [NiI(IMes)2Cl] and [Ni(IMes)2] for the next catalytic cycle.
A highly efficient and general protocol for traceless, directed C3-selective C-H borylation of indoles with [Ni(IMes)2] as the catalyst was achieved. Activation and borylation of N-H bonds by [Ni(IMes)2] is essential to install a Bpin moiety at the N-position as a traceless directing group, which enables the C3-selective borylation of C-H bonds. The N-Bpin group which is formed is easily converted in situ back to an N-H group by the oxidiative addition product of [Ni(IMes)2] and in situ-generated HBpin. The catalytic reactions are operationally simple, allowing borylation of of a variety of substituted indoles with B2pin2 in excellent yields and with high selectivity. The C-H borylation can be followed by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of the C-borylated indoles in an overall two-step, one-pot process providing an efficient method for synthesizing C3-functionalized heteroarenes.
Die Arbeit umfasst zum einen Untersuchungen zu hochhalogenierten 1-Aminocarba-closo-dodecaboraten, zum anderen Untersuchungen zu hochfluorierten Aminocarba-closo-dodecaboraten mit einer an ein Boratom gebundenen Amino-Funktion. Außerdem wurden im diesem Zuge closo-Undecaborat-Cluster untersucht, da diese als interessante Ausgangsverbindungen für funktionalisierte {CB11}-Derivate eingesetzt werden können.
Diese Dissertation handelt von der Darstellung, Charakterisierung und Reaktivitätsuntersuchungen von neuartigen Platinalkylidenborylkomplexen und eines heteroleptischen Platiniminoborylkomplexes. Außerdem wurden Reaktivitätsuntersuchungen an einem Platinoxoborylkomplex durchgeführt und die erhaltenen Produkte wurden genau untersucht und charakterisiert.
Aufbauend auf dem Konzept der C/Si-Bioisosterie beschreibt die vorliegende Arbeit die Synthese und biologische Charakterisierung siliciumorganischer Wirkstoffe sowie Beiträge zur Synthese von siliciumorganischen Synthese-Bausteinen unter Verwendung der Silicium-Schutzgruppen MOP (4-Methoxyphenyl), DMOP (2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl) und TMOP (2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl). Die entsprechenden Zielverbindungen sowie alle isolierten Zwischenstufen wurden durch NMR-Spektroskopie in Lösung (1H, 13C, 29Si) und Elementaranalyse (C, H, N) bzw. HRMS-Analytik (ESI) charakterisiert. Zusätzlich konnte in einigen Fällen eine strukturelle Charakterisierung durch Einkristall-Röntgenstrukturanalyse realisiert werden.
It is generally acknowledged that polyfluoroarenes are important fluorinated structural units for various organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Polyfluorinated aryl alkynes and alcohols are also powerful building blocks in chemical synthesis because of their versatility to be transformed into various useful molecules and also their ubiquity in natural product synthesis. Efficient methods for the synthesis of polyfluorinated aryl alkynes and alcohols are presented in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. In addition, 3-amino-indoles have found a broad applications in medicinal chemistry as effective anticancer agents, compounds with analgesic properties and can function as potent inhibitors of tubulin polymerization, and agents for the prevention of type II diabetes. A simple method for the synthesis of 3-amino-indoles via the annulation reaction of polyfluorophenylboronates with DMF is reported in Chapter 4.
Chapter 2
In Chapter 2, a mild process for the copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of electron-deficient polyfluorophenylboronate esters with terminal alkynes (Scheme S-1) is reported. This method displays good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, generating cross-coupled alkynyl(fluoro)arene products in moderate to excellent yields. This copper-catalyzed reaction was conducted on a gram scale to generate the corresponding product in good yield (72%).
Scheme S-1. Copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with polyfluorophenylboronate esters.
Based on previous reports and the aforementioned observations, a plausible catalytic cycle for this oxidative cross-coupling reaction is shown in Scheme S-2. The first step involves the addition of an alkynyl anion to Cu leading to the formation of alkynylcopper(II) species B. Subsequent transmetalation between ArFBpin and intermediate B occurs to form intermediate C. The desired product 3a is generated by eductive elimination. Finally, the oxidation of Cu(0) to Cu(II) with DDQ and Ag2O regenerates A to complete the catalytic cycle.

Chapter 3
In Chapter 3, A convenient and efficient protocol for the transition metal-free 1,2-addition of polyfluoroaryl boronate esters to aldehydes and ketones is reported, which provides secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, and ketones (Scheme S-3). The distinguishing features of this procedure include the employment of commercially available starting materials and the broad scope of the reaction with a wide variety of carbonyl compounds giving moderate to excellent yields.
Scheme S-3. Base-promoted 1,2-addition of polyfluorophenylboronates to aldehydes and ketones.
Control experiments were carried out to gain insight into the reaction mechanism. The reaction of 2a with pentafluorobenzene 5 under standard conditions was examined, yet 3a was not formed in any detectable amounts (Scheme S-4a), indicating that the C-Bpin moiety is essential and deprotonation of the fluoroarene or nucleophilic attack at the fluoroarene by the base is not a plausible pathway. Interestingly, for the standard reaction between 1a and 2a, the yield dropped dramatically if 18-crown-6 ether and K2CO3 were added (Scheme S-4b). This experimental result indicates that the presence of the potassium ion plays a crucial role for the outcome of the reaction. Furthermore, if the reaction of 1a and 2a was performed in the presence of only a catalytic amount of K2CO3 (20 mol%) (Scheme S-4c), reaction rates were reduced, and a week was required to produce 3a in good yield. This finding again indicates that the potassium ion (or the base) plays an important role in the reaction. Substituting ortho-fluorines by ortho-chlorines, using either C6Cl5Bpin 2,6-dichlorophenyl-1-Bpin as substrates, did not yield any product as shown by in situ GCMS studies.

Based on DFT calculations, a mechanism for the 1,2-addition of polyfluorophenylboronates to aryl aldehydes in the presence of K2CO3 as base is proposed, as shown in Scheme S-5. K2CO3 interacts with the Lewis-acidic Bpin moiety of substrate 1 to generate base adduct A, which weakens the carbon-boron bond and ultimately cleaves the BC bond along with attachment of a potassium cation to the aryl group. The resulting ArF- anion adduct B undergoes nucleophilic attack at the aldehyde carbon atom of substrate 2 to generate methanolate C. The methanolate oxygen atom then attacks the electrophilic Bpin group to obtain compound D. Transfer of K2CO3 from intermediate D to the boron atom of the more Lewis-acidic polyfluorophenyl-Bpin 1 finally closes the cycle and regenerates complex A. Thus, the primary reaction product is the O-borylated addition product E, which was detected by HRMS and NMR spectroscopy for the perfluorinated derivative.

Chapter 4 presents a novel protocol for the transition metal-free addition and annulation of polyfluoroarylboronate esters to DMF, which provides 3-aminoindoles and tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields (Scheme S-6).

While exploring the application of this strategy in synthesis, perfluorophenylBpin reacted smoothly with ethynylarenes and DMF to afford propargylamines with moderate to excellent yields (Scheme S-7).

Anionic Adducts
Sp2-sp3 tetraalkoxy diboron compounds have gained attention due to the development of new, synthetically useful catalytic reactions either with or without transition-metals. Lewis-base adducts of the diboron(4) compounds were suggested as possible intermediates in Cu catalyzed borylation reactions some time ago. However, intermolecular adducts of tetraalkoxy diboron compounds have not been studied yet in great detail. In preliminary studies, we have synthesized a series of anionic sp2-sp3 adducts of B2pin2 with alkoxy-groups (L = [OMe]–, [OtBu]–), a phenoxy-group (L = [4-tBuC6H4O]–) and fluoride (L = [F]–, with [nBu4N]+ as the counter ion) as Lewis-bases.
Neutral Adducts
Since their isolation and characterization, applications of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and related molecules, e.g., cyclic alkylaminocarbenes (CAACs) and acyclic diaminocarbenes (aDCs), have grown rapidly. Their use as ligands in homogeneous catalysis and directly in organocatalysis, including recently developed borylation reactions, is now well established. Recently, several examples of ring expansion reactions (RER) involving NHCs were reported to take place at elevated temperatures, involving Be, B, and Si.
Furthermore, preliminary studies in the group of Marder et al. showed the presence of neutral sp2-sp3 diboron compounds with B2pin2 and the NHC Cy2Im. In this work, we focused on the synthesis and characterization of further neutral sp2-sp3 as well as sp3-sp3 diboron adducts with B2cat2 and B2neop2 and different NHCs. Whereas the mono-NHC adduct is stable for several hours at temperatures up to 60 °C, the bis-NHC adducts undergo thermally induced rearrangement to form the ring expanded products compound 26 and 27. B2neop2 is much more reactive than B2cat2 giving ring expanded product 29 at room temperature in quantitative yields, demonstrating that NHC ring expansion and B–B bond cleavage can be very facile processes.

Diese Arbeit zeigt die vielfältigen Einsatzmöglichkeiten des Pr*-Substituenten in Koordinationsverbindungen mit sterisch stark abgeschirmten Molekülzentren auf. So wurden neben dem N-heterocyclischen Carben IPr* auch dessen Vorläuferverbindungen Pr*NH2 in Imidokomplexen sowie Pr*DAB zur Stabilisierung von Übergangsmetall- und Hauptgruppenelementverbindungen als Liganden etabliert.
Die homoleptisch zweifach NHC-substituierten Komplexe [Pd(IiPr)2] sowie [Pt(IiPr)2] sind synthetisch zugänglich und im Gegensatz zu {Ni(IiPr)2} in Substanz isolierbar. Obwohl es sich bei [Pd(IiPr)2] und [Pt(IiPr)2] um niedervalente 14-Elektronenverbindungen handelt, weisen deren Addukte von Neutralliganden teils bemerkenswerte Labilität auf. Im Gegensatz dazu zeichnen sich beide Komplexe durch eine starke Neigung zur oxidativen Addition verschiedenster Substrate unter Ausbildung quadratisch-planarer Metall(II)-Verbindungen aus. So wurden in stöchiometrischen Reaktionen H–H, C–H, C–X, Si–H, B-H, B–B, P–H und P–P gespalten und die entsprechenden Aktivierungsprodukte charakterisiert.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der C–F Bindungsaktivierung von teil und perfluorierten Aromaten an NHC stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplexen, sowohl in stöchiometrischen als auch in katalytischen Reaktionen. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit lag auf der Aufklärung der Mechanismen der C–F Bindungsaktivierungsschritte von teil und perfluorierten Aromaten an ein und zweifach NHC stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplexen, auf dem Einsatz dieser Komplexe in katalytischen Kreuzkupplungs- und Borylierungsreaktionen sowie in der Aufklärung der Mechanismen solcher katalytischen Prozesse.
Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit erzielten Ergebnisse belegen wesentliche Unterschiede im Reaktionsverhalten von Nickel Komplexen in der C–F Bindungsaktivierung: Die Reaktionsmechanismen der mit zwei sterisch unterschiedlich anspruchsvollen NHC Liganden stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplexe [Ni(iPr2Im)2] (1a) und [Ni(Mes2Im)2] (5) weisen deutliche Unterschiede auf. So erfolgt die Insertion von [Ni(iPr2Im)2] (1a), dem Komplex mit dem weniger anspruchsvolleren Carbenliganden iPr2Im, in die C–F-Bindung von C6F6 nach einem konzertierten und/oder NHC assistierten Reaktionsmechanismus, wohingegen der Nickel(0) Komplex 5 nach einem radikalischen und/oder NHC assistierten Reaktionsmechanismus insertiert. Die Experimente am einfach NHC stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplex [Ni(Dipp2Im)(η6 C7H8)] 6 belegen, dass die C–F Bindungsaktivierung zunächst zu reaktiven mononuklearen Komplexen [Ni(Dipp2Im)(F)(ArF)] führt, die jedoch allmählich zu dinuklearen, Fluorido verbrückten Nickel(II) Komplexen dimerisieren, die katalytisch nicht aktiv sind. Erst die Aufspaltung dieser Dimere in mononukleare Komplexe mit terminalen Fluoridoliganden führt zur katalytischen Aktivität. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass 5 und 6 vergleichbar gute Katalysatoren in der Nickel vermittelten C–F Borylierung sind und der kritische Schritt der Katalyse die Bereitstellung eines katalytisch aktiven, dreifach koordinierten Nickel Komplexes der Form [Ni(NHC)(F)(ArF)] ist.
