The syntheses of a library of new chiral aminophenolate bidentate O,N-type ligands HOC6H4(2-R- 4-R′)CH2N(Me)CH(Me)C6H5 [R = R′ = But, 1;R = R′ = Pent, 2;R = But, R′ = Me, 3;R = Me, R′ = But, 4;R = R′ = Me, 5] and tridentate O,N,O-type ligands HOC6H4(2,4-But)CH = NCH(R′′)C6H5 [R′′ = Me, 6;R′′ = CH2OMe, 7] are reported. These ligands were characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H & 13C), and single crystal X-ray diffraction. These ligands serve as chiral auxiliaries for inorganic chemists to design chiral metal-based complexes for asymmetric catalysis and stereoselective polymerization reactions. Three new heteroleptic zinc complexes based on these ligands have been synthesized in moderate yields via a ligand-exchange transamination reaction between homoleptic [Zn(N(SiMe3)2)2] and one equivalent of corresponding ligands to afford [L3ZnN- (SiMe3)2] (3a), [L4ZnN(SiMe3)2] (4a), and [L7ZnN(SiMe3)2] (7a). Solvent-free polymerization of raclactide at 130°C using these zinc compounds yielded atactic polylactides with Mw 10,000 g/mol and narrow polydispersity of 1.3.

Amine elimination of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3(μ-Cl)Li(THF)3 with aminophenol H[ON]{H[ON]=2-(CH2 NC5 H10)-4,6-tBu2-C6 H3OH}in 1:2 molar ratio in THF gave the monometallic rare-earth metal amide complexes[ON]2 LnN(SiMe3)2(Ln=Yb(1),Y(2),Gd(3),Sm(4),Nd(5))in 57%-73%isolated yields.All these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis.The molecular structures of complexes 1-4 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.These complexes are highly active for L-Iactide polymerization to give high molecular weight polymers with unimodal molecular weight distributions.In addition,these complexes can also initiate rac-lactide polymerization with high activity to afford heterotactic-rich polylactides.

Synthesis, structure and catalytic behavior of ytterbium complexes bearing a phenoxy(quinolinyl)amide ligand

Two ytterbium complexes stabilized by phenoxy（quinolinyl）amide ligand 3,5-But2-2-OC6H2CH2N-8-C9H6N （L） were synthesized and characterized. Reaction of anhydrous YbC13 with 1 equiv, of LLi2 in THF gave the ytterbium chloride [LYbCI（THF）]2 （1） in 73% yield. A further reaction of complex 1 with equimolar of NaN（SiMe3）2 in THF afforded the unexpected heterobimetallic ＂ate＂-complex L2YbNa（THF）2 （2） via a ligand redistribution reaction. Complex 2 could also be prepared in high isolated yield by the reaction of anhydrous YbC13 with 2 equiv, of LNa2 generated in situ. Both complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and sin- gle-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that complex 2 was an effective catalyst for the addition reaction of aromatic amines to carbodiimides.
