0 Introduction

Due to its ease of synthesis and the fact that the substituents on the aromatic amine and backbone are readily tuned,β-diketiminate ligand is a versatile precursor which iswidely used in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and catalysis.It can be used for the coordination of almost allmain and transition metals, and often used as a very efficient catalyst for olefin polymerization and in organic catalysis[1-3].As early as 1968 there has been a report aboutβ-diketiminate ligand as single electron bidentate ligand to prepare

nickel(II)complexes[4].Recently,Shen et al.used it to synthesize a series of rare earth complexes which are highly efficient catalysts for the polymerization of L-lactide[5].

Over the past decade,various kinds of ligands stabilizing subvalent metal complexes have been synthesized.For example,Robinson et al.have successfully synthesized monovalent zinc complex [(DippNacnac)Zn(II)]2with the correspondingβdiketiminate ligand Dipp Nacnac(DippNacnac=(Dipp NC(Me))2CH,Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl)in 2005[6]. Subsequently Jones et al.also used the same ligand Dipp Nacnac to synthesize the first room temperature stable monovalent magnesium compound[(Dipp Nacnac)Mg(II)]2in 2007 and further extended it to other similarβ-diketiminate ligands[7-8].These Mg(II)complexes could be used as a reducing agent in organic,organometallic and inorganic reactions[9-11],in some ways it can even replace the traditional reducing agents used in many synthesis reactions.For instance, Driess and Power et al.respectively prepared cyclic and acyclic carbene silicon analogues with[(Mes Nacnac)Mg(II)]2as a reducing agent recently[12-13]. However,most of the known ligands cannot stabilize other active low valence metal complexes such as calcium and rare earth because of the comparatively slow steric hindrance.Moreover the reports aboutβdiketiminate magnesium complexes are relatively few. Herein we report the syntheses of two new extremely bulkyβ-diketiminate ligands,the correspondingβdiketiminate magnesium methyl and Mg-Li bimetallic complexes and their application in the catalytic hydrosilylation of acetophenone.

2 Results and discussion

When 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylaniline and 2,4-pentanedione were refluxed in ethanol or toluene as per protocol followed in normalβdiketiminate ligand synthesis,no reaction wasobserved even when the longer reaction time(2 weeks)was employed.However 2,4-pentanedione upon treatment with 2 equiv.of 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylaniline and p-toluenesulfonic acid by Dean-Stark reflux for 3 days in toluene afforded the correspondingβdiketiminate ligand 1 in good yield(65%)(Scheme 1). Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopic analysis revealed that in the1H NMR spectrum(CDCl3) the NH2signal(δ3.26)of the starting material 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylaniline[14]disappeared while a new singletsignalappeared atδ12.01 which is assigned to the NH characteristic resonance and another new singlet signal atδ4.12 that is assigned to the backbonemethine resonance of compound 1.Other integration data and chemical shifts for all other signals are consistent with the desired target product 1.The13C{1H}NMR spectrum of compound 1 further confirmed the structure.It displayed a characteristic downfield C=N resonance atδ164.0 and C=C double bond resonance atδ94.7.Finally the solid state molecular structure of ligand 1 was determined by single-crystalX-ray diffraction.

Colorless crystals of 1 suitable for X-ray diffraction study were obtained from mixed dichloromethane and hexane solvents(Fig.1).Selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 2.In

compound 1,the double bond C(38)-C(39)(0.1380(3) nm)is shorter than the single bond C(36)-C(38) (0.142 3(3)nm),the bond length of C-N single bond C (39)-N(2)(0.134 6(2)nm)is slightly longer than that of the C=N double bond C(36)-N(1)(0.131 5(3)nm), the bond distances of aromatic N(1)-C(1)and N(2)-C(41)are almost identical(0.142 6(2)and 0.142 7(2) nm)and aremuch longer than that of C(39)-N(2)and slightly longer than that of the reported mesityl substitutedβ-diketiminate ligand(0.142 4(2)nm)[18]. This could be attributed to the steric hindrance of the bulky 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylaniline.The N-H hydrogen was fixed to the nitrogen with the longer C-N bond.The N(1),C(36),C(38),C(39)and N (2)atoms are almost in the same plane.Their bond angles are around the ideal value of 120°.

When the similar reaction between 2,4-pentanedione and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl aniline was carried out under Dean-Stack reflux in toluene for 3 days,a new product was produced(Scheme 1).This product also exhibited a NH characteristic resonance atδ12.31 and a backbone methine resonance atδ 4.87 in the1H NMR spectrum(CDCl3)as well as a characteristic C=N double bond resonance atδ159.5 and C=C double bond resonance atδ96.4 in the13C {1H}NMR spectrum(CDCl3).However,integration indicated that there were 36 protons atδ1.31 and 1.30.This is notmatched with the expected product in which six tertiary butyl groups should have 54 protons.Meanwhile there are six aromatic protons which are twomore than the expected product.Hence we speculated that two tertiary butyl groups of phenyl

ring could be lost.The high resolution mass spectrum (HRMS)also demonstrated that the experimental observed value of 475.403 4 is same to the calculated value of 475.405 2.

However,from the above1H,13C{1H}NMR and HRMS spectra,we did not know which tertiary butyl groupswere lost.We attempted to grow single crystals of this new compound.The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2 established that the two orthotertiary butyl groups of phenyl ring were indeed lost. We deduced the high reaction temperature and time maybe lead to the tertiary butyl group decomposition. We subsequently lowered the reaction temperature from reflux in toluene to room temperature,however no reaction was observed even after two weeks.Selected bond lengthsand anglesare listed in Table 2.Asshown in Fig.2,one ortho-substituted tertiary butyl group of each phenyl ring was obviously split from the original 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylaniline.The bond lengths of C(6)-N (1)and C(10)-N(2)(0.142 36(15)and 0.141 94(16)nm) are slightly shorter than those of 1 and other similarβdiketiminate ligands reported previously[18-19]due to the vacancy generated by the cleaved ortho-tertiary butyl groups as expected.Moreover the two ortho-tertiary butyl groups adopt a trans-arrangement in order to minimize steric crowding.

Quite recently,the extremely bulky 2,6-bis (dinaphthylmethyl)-4-methylaniline was synthesized via a two step Grignard reaction and Friedel-Crafts alkylation protocol in excellent yields and successfully applied to prepare what can be categorized as one of the bulkiest N-heterocyclic carbenes synthesized so far[15].Hence we envisaged that we can prepare the correspondingβ-diketiminate ligand.When 2,6-bis (dinaphthylmethyl)-4-methylaniline was treated with 2,4-pentanedione under the same reaction condition as above,only compound 3 was obtained as observed via1H and13C{1H}NMR spectroscopic analysis(Scheme 1).There is a NH characteristic resonance atδ12.20 and a backbone methine resonance atδ4.90 in the1H NMR spectrum(CDCl3)aswell as a characteristic unreacted C=O double bond resonance atδ195.6 and the new C=C double bond resonance atδ96.3 in the13C{1H}NMR spectrum(CDCl3).We suppose the first

equivalent primary amine underwent reaction and the second did not further reactwith another ketone group of 2,4-pentanedione because of much larger steric hindrance.We also extended the reaction time from 5 days to 10 days,the same product was obtained. Compared with the above-mentioned two reactions 2,6-bis(dinaphthylmethyl)-4-methylaniline should be the bulkiest primary amine reported to date.

The reaction of ligand 1 with one equiv.MeMgIin THF did not give the desired pure magnesium iodide complex.1H NMR analysis indicated that it could generate the magnesium iodide,magnesium methyl complexes(LMgIand LMgMe,L=ligand 1),ligand 1 in the crude reaction mixture.This is different from the previously reportedβ-diketiminate ligandswhich upon reaction with one equiv.MeMgI produced the corresponding magnesium iodide complexes in good yield[8,20].Due to the fact that the crudemixturewasvery complex,the product couldnt be separated completely. We postulated that the resultant magnesium iodide complex(LMgI)is too reactive and further reacted with MeMgI immediately to generate the corresponding magnesium methyl complex(LMgMe).Hencewe added two equiv.MeMgI to the solution of ligand 1 in THF, the desired magnesium methyl complex 4 was indeed obtained as colorless crystals in good yield(72%) (Scheme 2).This offered an alternative method to synthesize the magnesium methyl complex which previously prepared from dimethylmagnesium with the relevantβ-diketiminate ligand[20-24].

Scheme 2 Syntheses ofmagnesium complexes

NMR spectra of complex 4 displayed a very characteristic upfield Mg-CH3resonance atδ-0.81 (singlet,3H)in1H NMR spectrum and atδ-15.1 in the13C NMR spectrum respectively.These chemical shifts are similar to those observed for the related unsolvated dimeric Dipp-substitutedβ-diketiminate magnesium methyl complex[(DippNacnac)Mg(Me)]2(δ-1.17(1H),δ -18.6(13C))[19]and thoseofmonomeric three-coordinated tert-butyl-substitutedβ-diketiminato complex[(tBu Nacnac)Mg(Me)](δ-1.37(1H),δ-16.8(13C))[22]and 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-p-tolyl-substitutedβ-diketiminate complex[(ArNacnac)Mg(Me)](ArNacnac=CH(C(Me)N (2,6-CHPh2-4-MeC6H2))2,δ-1.27(1H),δ-18.1(13C))[23].

Single crystals of complex 4 suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained from THF/ hexanemixture at room temperature(Fig.3).Selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 3.The geometry at magnesium is distorted tetrahedral with angles in the range of 94.52(6)°～126.68(8)°.The Mg metal center is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of ligand(N(1)and N(2)),one oxygen atom of THF(O(1)) and one carbon(C(76)).The Mg(1)-C(76)bond length (0.210 96(19)nm)in 4 falls in the range of 0.210 7(6)～0.218 9(4)nm in those similar solvatedβ-diketiminate magnesium methyl complexes.The bond angle of N(1)-Mg(1)-N(2)in 4 was 94.52(6)°,which is bigger than those similar solvatedβ-diketiminate magnesium methyl complexes reported previously(91.8(2)°～94.51(12)°)[21-23].

In order to get the desired magnesium halide complex,the ligand 1 was treated withnBuLi to produce the corresponding lithium salt at room temperature.Upon further reaction with magnesium bromide(MgBr2)in THF,the Mg-Libimetallic complex

5 wasobtained as colorless crystals in good yield(56%) (Scheme 2).This is quite different from the very similar 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-p-tolyl-substitutedβ-diketiminate ligand which gave the corresponding magnesium bromide complex[(ArNacnac)MgBr(OEt2)]in very low yield(＜5%)when treated with methylmagnesium bromide(MeMgBr)[23].However,the similar reaction between the potassium salt of ligand 1 andmagnesium chloride(MgCl2)in THF did not give the corresponding magnesium chloride complex since only the startingmaterial ligand 1 was recovered after workup.

Single crystals of complex 5 suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained from toluene/ hexanemixture at room temperature(Fig.4).Selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 4.Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 5 showed that it was the Mg-Li bimetallic complex which is different from the normal monometallicβ-diketiminate magnesium halide complexes.The Mg,Li,Br(1)and Br(2)are almost in the rhombus plane.The geometry at magnesium is distorted tetrahedral with angles in the range of 96.62(15)°～118.89(11)°.The Mgmetal center is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of ligand (N(1)and N(2))and two bromine atoms(Br(1)and Br (2)).The four-coordinated lithium is also distorted tetrahedral which is bound by two oxygen atoms of THF(O(1)and O(2))and two bromine atoms(Br(1) and Br(2)).The bond length of Mg-Br(0.250 67(15) and 0.250 45(15)nm)in 5 is slightly longer than that of very similar methyl-substitutedβ-diketiminate magnesium bromide complex[(ArNacnac)MgBr(OEt2)] (0.249 44(10)nm).The bond angle of N(1)-Mg(1)-N(2)

(96.62(15)°)in 5 is slightly smaller than thatofmethylsubstituted[(ArNacnac)MgBr(OEt2)](96.86(11)°)[23].

Finally,the correspondingmagnesium methyl and bromide complexes(4 and 5)as catalyst have been used in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone[25-27].At room temperature,using(EtO)3SiH as silane source in the presence of 10%(n/n)catalyst,the hydrosilylation reaction of acetophenone proceeded very slowly. However when the reaction temperature was increased to 80℃the reaction was completed in 24 h with 70% and 83%conversion for 4 and 5 respectively which was monitored by1H NMR spectroscopy in C6D6(Scheme 3).

3 Conclusions

In summary,we have successfully synthesized two new sterically bulkyβ-diketiminate ligands.They have been used to synthesize the corresponding

magnesium methyl and Mg-Li bimetallic magnesium bromide complexes which showed moderate catalytic activity in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone.Their molecular structures were confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction determination.The applications in the preparation of subvalent metal complexes and other applications are in progress in our group.

Two new sterically bulkyβ-diketiminate compounds CH(C(Me)N(2,6-CHPh2-4-iPrC6H2))2H(1)and(CH (C(Me)N(2,4-C(CH3)3C6H2))2H(2)were synthesized by the reaction of 2,4-pentanedione with the corresponding primary amines.Treatment of ligand 1 with Grignard reagent MeMgI in THF provided a four-coordinated magnesium methyl complex.The lithium salt of 1 was subsequently reacted with MgBr2in THF to yield the Mg-Li bimetallic magnesium bromide complex.The molecular structures of twoβ-diketiminate ligands and their corresponding magnesium methyl and bromide complexes have been characterized using X-ray crystallography. The corresponding magnesium methyl and bromide complexes have shown moderate catalytic activity in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone.CCDC:1445844,1;1445845,2;1480136,4;1480137,5.
