Ohnishi, Ryuhei published the artcileCationic Dirhodium Complexes Bridged by 2-Phosphinopyridines Having an Exquisitely Positioned Axial Shielding Group: A Molecular Design for Enhancing the Catalytic Activity of the Dirhodium Core, Formula: C9H12O, the publication is Organometallics (2021), 40(15), 2678-2690, database is CAplus.
This report describes a strategy to create highly electrophilic dirhodium catalysts. The electrophilicity of lantern-type dirhodium complexes is generally decreased by the coordination of a ligand to the axial site, which often causes a reduction in the catalytic activity. The authors designed and synthesized cationic dirhodium complexes bridged by 2-diarylphosphinopyridines having a bulky 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl (Tip) group that can prevent the attack of external mols. to the closest axial site. Theor. calculations indicated that the Tip group weakly interacts with the axial site but hardly reduces the electrophilicity of the dirhodium core. The complexes served as excellent catalyst precursors for the dehydrogenative silylation of alcs. using hydrosilanes under mild conditions and a low metal loading, producing the silyl ethers in higher yields in comparison to conventional dirhodium complexes.
