Abstract

Reaction of NiI₂ with the PCP-ligand {1-Et-2,6-(CH ₂PⁱPr₂)₂-C₆H ₃} (1) results in selective activation of the strong sp ²-sp³ aryl-ethyl bond to afford the aryl-nickel complex [Ni{2,6-(CH₂PⁱPr₂)₂-C ₆H₃}I] (2), whereas reaction of NiI₂ with {1,3,5-(CH₃)₃-2,6-(CH₂PⁱPr ₂)₂-C₆H} (4) leads to the formation of the benzylic complex [Ni{1-CH₂-2,6-(CH₂PⁱPr ₂)₂-3,5-(CH₃)₂-C₆H}I] (5) by selective C-H bond activation. Thermolysis of 5 results in formation of [Ni{2,6-(CH₂PⁱPr₂)₂-3,5-(CH ₃)₂-C₆H}I] (6) by activation of the sp ²-sp³ C-C bond. The identity of the new 16-electron complexes 2 and 6 was confirmed by reaction of NiI₂ with {1,3-(CH₂PⁱPr₂)₂-C₆H ₄} (3) and {1,3-(CH₃)₂-4,6-(CH ₂PⁱPr₂)₂-C₆H ₂} (7), respectively, lacking the aryl-alkyl groups between the "phosphines arms" (alkyl=ethyl, methyl). Complexes 2 and 5 have been fully characterized by X-ray analysis. Nickel-based activation of an unstrained C-O single bond was observed as well. Reaction of the aryl-methoxy bisphosphine {1-OMe-2,6-(CH₂PⁱPr₂)₂-C ₆H₃} (8) with NiI₂ results in the formation of the phenoxy complex [Ni{1-O-2,6-(CH₂PⁱPr₂) ₂-C₆H₃}I] (9) by selective sp ³-sp³ C-O bond activation.
