  • Synthetic Approaches to and Structures of Diplatinum Polyynediyl Complexes trans,trans‐[(C6F5)(R3P)2Pt(C≡C)nPt(PR3)2(C6F5)] With Odd Numbers of Triple Bonds;Avoiding Complicating Ethynediyl Extrusions
Title: Synthetic Approaches to and Structures of Diplatinum Polyynediyl Complexes trans,trans‐[(C6F5)(R3P)2Pt(C≡C)nPt(PR3)2(C6F5)] With Odd Numbers of Triple Bonds;Avoiding Complicating Ethynediyl Extrusions
Reactions of trans‐(C6F5)(p‐tol3P)2Pt(C≡C)nSiEt3 (PtC2nSi; n = 5, 7, 9) and ex­cess PtCl in the presence of wet n‐Bu4N+ F– under Sonogashira‐type conditions (CuCl, base, other additives) afford the title compounds PtC10Pt, PtC14Pt, and PtC18­Pt in 42‐32% yields. A four‐fold substitution of the phosphine ligands in PtC10Pt by PEt3 affords Pt'C10Pt' (78%), and a Sonogashira reaction of Pt'C2H and Pt'Cl affords Pt'C2Pt' (68%). Certain sp chain extension reactions that lead to or employ the precursors PtC10Si, PtC12Si, PtC14Si, and PtC18Si sometimes give byproducts derived from C2 loss, and possible origins are discussed.  more » « less

    Reactions of {(C 6 F 5 )Pt[S(CH 2 CH 2 -) 2 ](μ-Cl)} 2 and R 3 P yield the bis(phosphine) species trans -(C 6 F 5 )(R 3 P) 2 PtCl [R = Et ( Pt'Cl ), Ph, ( p -CF 3 C 6 H 4 ) 3 P; 88-81 %]. Additions of Pt'Cl and H(C≡C) n H ( n = 1, 2; HNEt 2 , 20 mol % CuI) give Pt'C 2 H (37 %, plus Pt'I , 16 %) and Pt'C 4 H (88 %). Homocoupling of Pt'C 4 H under Hay conditions (O 2 , CuCl, TMEDA, acetone) gives Pt'C 8 Pt' (85 %), but Pt'C 2 H affords only traces of Pt'C 4 Pt' . However, condensation of Pt'C 4 H and Pt'Cl (HNEt 2 , 20 mol % CuI) yields Pt'C 4 Pt' (97 %). Hay heterocouplings of Pt'C 4 H or trans -( p -tol)(Ph 3 P) 2 Pt(C≡C) 2 H ( Pt*C 4 H ) and excess HC≡CSiEt 3 give Pt'C 6 SiEt 3 (76 %) or Pt*C 6 SiEt 3 (89 %). The latter and wet n -Bu 4 N + F - react to yield labile Pt*C 6 H (60 %). Hay homocouplings of Pt*C 4 H and Pt*C 6 H give Pt*C 8 Pt* (64 %) and Pt*C 12 Pt* (64 %). Reaction of trans -(C 6 F 5 )( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtCl ( PtCl ) and HC≡CH (HNEt 2 , 20 mol % CuI) yields only traces of PtC 2 H . However, an analogous reaction with HC≡CSiMe 3 gives PtC 2 SiMe 3 (75 %), which upon treatment with silica yields PtC 2 H (77 %). An analogous coupling of trans -(C 6 F 5 )(Ph 3 P) 2 PtCl with H(C≡C) 2 H gives trans -(C 6 F 5 )(Ph 3 P) 2 Pt(C≡C) 2 H (34 %). Advantages and disadvantages of the various trans -(Ar)(R 3 P) 2 Pt end-groups are analyzed.

    The Sonogashira cross-coupling is one of the most fundamental C–C bond-forming reactions, wherein the strategic value of an alkyne moiety has found widespread applications at the frontiers of organic chemistry, materials science and drug discovery as the cornerstone building block of chemical synthesis. Although traditional variants of Sonogashira cross-coupling involve aryl halides and pseudohalides as electrophiles, recently, tremendous advances have been made in the unconventional disconnection exploiting common carboxylic acids by a decarbonylation/transmetalation pathway. This manifold (1) permits one to take advantage of carboxylic acids as a ubiquitous class of substrates in organic synthesis that are derived from an orthogonal pool of precursors to aryl halides and pseudohalides and (2) combines the benefits of the palladium-catalyzed C(sp 2 )–C(sp) coupling of terminal alkynes with the inherent presence of the carboxylic acid moiety in pharmaceuticals, natural products and organic materials. In this highlight article, we summarize the recent progress in the decarbonylative Sonogashira cross-coupling of carboxylic acid electrophiles to produce arylalkynes and conjugated enynes as a novel avenue for chemical synthesis, whereby a large number of chemical reactions critically rely on transformations of alkynes.

    The gyroscope like dichloride complexes trans -Pt(Cl) 2 (P((CH 2 ) n ) 3 P) ( trans -2; n = c, 14; e, 18; g, 22) and MeLi (2 equiv.) react to yield the parachute like dimethyl complexes cis -Pt(Me) 2 (P((CH 2 ) n ) 3 P) ( cis -4c,e,g, 70–91%). HCl (1 equiv.) and cis -4c react to give cis -Pt(Cl)(Me)(P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P) ( cis -5c, 83%), which upon stirring with silica gel or crystallization affords trans -5c (89%). Similar reactions of HCl and cis -4e,g give cis / trans -5e,g mixtures that upon stirring with silica gel yield trans -5e,g. A parallel sequence with trans -2c/EtLi gives cis -Pt(Et) 2 (P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P) ( cis -6c, 85%) but subsequent reaction with HCl affords trans -Pt(Cl)(Et)(P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P) ( trans -7c, 45%) directly. When previously reported cis -Pt(Ph) 2 (P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P) is treated with HCl (1 equiv.), cis - and trans -Pt(Cl)(Ph)(P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P) are isolated (44%, 29%), with the former converting to the latter at 100 °C. Reactions of trans -5c and LiBr or NaI afford the halide complexes trans -Pt(X)(Me)(P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P) ( trans -9c, 88%; trans -10c, 87%). Thermolyses and DFT calculations that include acyclic model compounds establish trans > cis stabilities for all except the dialkyl complexes, for which energies can be closely spaced. The σ donor strengths of the non-phosphine ligands are assigned key roles in the trends. The crystal structures of cis -4c, trans -5c, trans -7c, and trans -10c are determined and analyzed together with the computed structures.

    Abstract Conventional organic photocatalysis typically relies on ultraviolet and short‐wavelength visible photons as the energy source. However, this approach often suffers from competing light absorption by reactants, products, intermediates, and co‐catalysts, leading to reduced quantum efficiency and side reactions. To address this issue, we developed novel organic two‐photon‐absorbing (TPA) photosensitizers capable of functioning under deep red and near‐infrared light irradiation. Three model reactions including cyclization, Sonogashira Csp2−Cspcross‐coupling, and Csp2−N cross‐coupling reactions were selected to compare the performance of the new photosensitizers under both blue (427 nm) and deep red (660 nm) light irradiation. The obtained results unambiguously prove that for reactions involving blue light‐absorbing reactants, products, and/or co‐catalysts, deep red light source resulted in better performance than blue light when utilizing our TPA photosensitizers. This work highlights the potential of our metal‐free TPA photosensitizers as a sustainable and effective solution to mitigate the competing light absorption issue in photocatalysis, not only expanding the scope of organic photocatalysts but also reducing reliance on expensive Ru/Ir/Os‐based photosensitizers.

Reaction of 3 and excess Me 3 P gives all- trans -Cl(Me 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 Pt(PMe 3 ) 2 Cl ( 4 , 86%). A model reaction of trans -( p -tol)( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtCl and KSAc yields trans -( p -tol)( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtSAc ( 12 , 75%). Similar reactions of 3 , 7 , 10 , and 4 give all- trans -AcS[(R 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 ] n Pt(PR 3 ) 2 SAc (76–91%). The crystal structures of 3 , 17 , and 12 are determined. The first exhibits a chlorine–chlorine distance of 17.42 Å; those in 10 and 7 are estimated as 30.3 Å and 43.1 Å.
