Popis: | The synthesis and characterization of an analog of the Xantphos ligand that is geometrically incapable of coordination of the xanthene bridging oxygen atom is reported. This new ligand, XL-Xantphos, ((9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(diphenylphosphane), was studied in homogeneous, catalytic reactions for comparison with Xantphos. The XL-Xantphos ligand performed essentially identically to Xantphos in Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-octene, which suggests that the high regioselectivity for linear aldehyde is due to the large bite angle of these ligands and is not influenced by oxygen coordination to the metal. The Pd-catalyzed amidocarbonylation of 4-bromoanisole with dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride similarly showed no difference between Xantphos and XL-Xantphos. Computations on Pd(II) phosphine complexes at the DLPNO–CCSD(T) level of theory indicated that these ligands have different preferences for cis and trans coordination modes. The XL-Xantphos ligand has a thermodynamic... |
