Synthesis and Structural Features of Co(II) and Co(III) Complexes Supported by Aminotrisphenolate Ligand Scaffolds
CoĀ(II) complexes
of aminotrisphenolate ((ArO)<sub>3</sub>N<sup>3ā</sup>) ligands
can be prepared straightforwardly in high yield. X-ray analysis reveals
these complexes to comprise of two different hemispheres, one containing
an anionic CoĀ((ArO)<sub>3</sub>N)<sup>ā</sup> and the other
a cationic (ArO)<sub>3</sub>NH<sup>+</sup> unit, which are associated
through hydrogen bonding. These CoĀ(II) complexes can be easily converted
into their CoĀ(III) analogues in air in the presence of suitable bases
such as dimethylaminopyridine and 2,2ā²-bipyridine, and the
structural features and magnetic properties of these latter compounds
are also reported
Oxidant-Free Au(I)-Catalyzed Halide Exchange and C<sub>sp2</sub>āO Bond Forming Reactions
Au
has been demonstrated to mediate a number of organic transformations
through the utilization of its Ļ Lewis acid character, AuĀ(I)/AuĀ(III)
redox properties or a combination of both. As a result of the high
oxidation potential of the AuĀ(I)/AuĀ(III) couple, redox catalysis involving
Au typically requires the use of a strong external oxidant. This study
demonstrates unusual external oxidant-free AuĀ(I)-catalyzed halide
exchange (including fluorination) and C<sub>sp2</sub>āO bond
formation reactions utilizing a model aryl halide macrocyclic substrate.
Additionally, the halide exchange and C<sub>sp2</sub>āO coupling
reactivity could also be extrapolated to substrates bearing a single
chelating group, providing further insight into the reaction mechanism.
This work provides the first examples of external oxidant-free AuĀ(I)-catalyzed
carbonāheteroatom cross-coupling reactions
