Description

Method for the preparation of metal carbene complexes Yeda Research and Development wya mnai ip wl? man ντ> Company Ltd.
C. 148289 - 1 FIELD OF THE INVENTION . This invention relates to a general method for preparing metal carbene complexes. These complexes may be used, inter alia, to catalyze olefin metathesis reactions, olefin ring opening metathesis polymerization reactions, alkyne metathesis or diolefin cyclization.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Alkylidene ligands, such as C¾, CHR, or CR2, form M=C double bonds and their metal compounds are often called metal carbene complexes. The chemistry of late-transition-metal (i.e. groups VIII, IX and X of the periodic table) carbene complexes has recently received much attention, primarily due to the high catalytic activity of phosphine ruthenium carbene complexes in olefin metathesis. The most useful ruthenium carbene in these series is Grubbs' catalyst, (PCy3)2Cl2Ru=CHPh, bearing a benzylidene unit (Schwab P. et al, Angew.
Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1995, 34, 2039; Schwab P. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 100, US patentNo. 5,831,108). Being highly active and remarkably tolerant to common functional groups, this compound found broad applications in both organic and polymer chemistry.
There are several synthetic approaches towards alkylidene complexes, with the ones utilizing the corresponding diazoalkane being the most popular and most general (Schwab P. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 100). However, the instability of diazo compounds and the safety issues involved in handling them seriously limit this method. From safety considerations it is also difficult to use such diazo compounds in industry.
Another recent approach, involving the reaction of precursors to unstable Ru(0) complexes with alkyl dihalides ((a) Belderrain, T. R.; Grubbs, R. H.
Organometallics 1997, 16, 4001. (b) Olivan, M.; Caulton, K. G. Inorg.Chem. 1999, 38, 566) is limited by the difficult synthesis of the unstable Ru(COD)(COT) precursor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is desired to provide a new method for the preparation of metal carbene complexes which is general, synthetically simple and safe.
Thus, the present invention describes a new method for the preparation of metal carbene complexes by using sulfur ylides as carbenoid precursors. Such ylides are extensively used in organic chemistry. The new synthetic route is synthetically simple and safe and can be applied to complexes of different metals and different ligands. Moreover, it can be used for the synthesis of new carbenes, which are difficult to obtain by known methods.
The metal carbene complexes are powerful catalysts in organic synthesis and may be used, inter alia, to catalyze olefin metathesis reactions, olefin ring opening metathesis polymerization reactions, alkyne metathesis, diolefin cyclization and olefin cyclopropanation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to a first of its aspects, the present invention provides a general method for the preparation of metal carbene complexes. The general pathway is presented in Scheme 2.
Ar2S=CR1R2 + LaXbM — — ► LaXbM=CR1R2 + Ar2S Scheme 2 A specific example of the process of the present invention is shown in Scheme 3 below. According to this scheme, benzyldiphenylsulfonium tetrafluoroborate 1, the precursor of the corresponding ylide compound, is prepared by a one-pot reaction between diphenylsulfide and benzyl bromide in the presence of AgBF4 (Franzen, V.; Schmidt, H. J.; Mertz, C. Ber., 1961, 94, 2942). Deprotonation of this sulfonium salt by base, results in the formation of the benzyl ylide 2, that readily reacts with the appropriate metal complex to give the metal carbene complex LaXbM =CHPh.
Base _ „ La¾M La (Ph2S+CH2Ph)BF4- BaSe > Ph2S=CHPh _ > ^ * HPh 1 2 Scheme 3 In another example, at least one of the phenyl groups in 1, bound to the sulfur, may be linked to an insoluble polymeric unit, for example polystyrene or a non-organic polymer such as silica. In such cases after the reaction is complete, the diphenyl sulfide linked to the insoluble polymer unit is seperated by filtration from the metal carbene complex LaXbM =CHPh and re-used.
More specifically, when the sulfonium salt 1 is reacted with 1 equiv. of KN(SiMe3)2 at -30°C in toluene, immediate formation of a yellow solution and precipitation of KBF4 takes place (Scheme 4). After filtration of KBF4, the formed sulfur ylide 2 is reacted with a complex 3a or 3b under a nitrogen atmosphere and at -30°C resulting in clean conversion to the Rh-benzylidene complex 4a or 4b, respectively. The Rh(I) benzylidene complexes are not stable at room temperature and were characterized by multimiclear NMR spectroscopy at -40°C. The carbene protons in the 1H NMR spectrum are characterized by low-field signals (e.g. between 17 and 20 ppm) , due to coupling with the Rh center. The carbenoid carbons also give rise to extremely low field signals in 13 C NMR spectrum, between 270 and 350 ppm.
KN(SiMe3)2 (Ph2S+CH2Ph)BF4 Ph2S=CHPh -30deg.C 1 2 : Scheme 4 (In the Scheme above, 'Pr denotes an isopropyl radical; Bu denotes a tert-butyl radical) The above compounds of formulae 3a, 3b, 4a and 4b are new and present a further aspect of the invention.
Stable, well-known metal carbenes can also easily and cleanly be prepared by the sulfur ylide approach described in the present invention. An example is the preparation of the synthetically very useful Grubbs' catalyst, (PCy3)2Cl2Ru=CHPh (5) (Cy denotes a cyclohexyl radical). The reaction of (PPh3)3RuCl2 in CH2C12 with the freshly prepared sulfur ylide 2 in THF at -30°C and concomitant substitution of the PPh3 ligands by tricyclohexylphosphine at room temperature results, after the workup, in the Ru-benzylidene complex 5 in 98% yield (Scheme 5).
The process of the present invention is not limited to rhodium and ruthenium carbenes, see for example Werner's hydrido-osmium carbene 6 (Werner H. et aJL, Organometallics, 1997, 16, 2236) shown in Scheme 5.
According to this scheme, ylide 2 is added to the osmium complex [OsHCl(CO)(P'Pr3)2] (Esteruelas, M. A.; Werner, H. J. Organomet. Chem. 1986, 303, 22)1 in toluene at -30°C, resulting in an immediate color change to orange. Stirring for additional 30 min. at room temperature and workup results in quantitative formation of the benzylidene complex 6, as evident from its spectroscopic data compared to the literature. 6 Scheme 5 The process of the present invention can be applied also to the synthesis of unknown carbenes, which are difficult to obtain by methods known in the art. For example, the carbene complexes have been prepared in the literature by an indirect route with the aid of SbR.3 ligands, which were subsequently substituted by the bulky triisopropylphosphine ligands.
However, attempts to prepare similar monosubstituted carbene by use of phenyldiazomethane didn't lead to the desired results. Remarkably, this complex may be synthesized by the new process of the invention and without the aid of stibine ligands (see Scheme 6).
Thus, the monosubstituted carbene is prepared as follows: bis-(triisopropylphosphine)rhodium chloride dimer 7 reacts with one equiv. of the sulfur ylide 2 at -30°C in toluene, followed by selective formation of the Rh benzylidene complex 8 (Scheme 6). 8 Scheme 6 Compound 8 is moderately stable and decomposes at room temperature within 3-4 days.
The present invention is now described by the following non-limiting examples.

A solution of potassium bis(trimemylsilyl)amide (7 mg, 0.035 mmol) in THF (2 ml) was added to the suspension of the sulfonium salt, followed by rapid color change to yellow. The yellow solution was filtered through cotton directly into a solution at -35°C, of tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium dichloride (30 mg, 0.031 mmol) in THF (5ml). A solution of tricyclohexylphosphine (18 mg, 0.064 mmol) in THF (2 ml) precooled to -35°C was then added, and the mixture was kept for 2h at -35°C and then warmed to room temperature and kept at room temperature for 20 min. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was extracted with pentane. The pentane extract was filtered and evaporated resulting in a red solid. 31P{1H} NMR in C6D6 (singlet at 37.9 ppm) and 1H NMR in Ce e (doublet at 17.9 ppm, J=10.3Hz) spectra of this solid indicated that the expected allyl carbene ruthenium complex was formed, in addition to impurities of PPI13 and PCy3.
