Cyclotribenzylene alkynylgold( i ) phosphine complexes: synthesis, chirality, and exchange of phosphine
Résumé
Two different alkynyl-substituted C3-symmetric cyclotribenzylenes (CTB) were synthesized in racemic and enantiomerically pure forms, and six gold(I) phosphine complexes differring by the nature of the CTB and the phosphine were prepared and characterized, in particular by NMR spectroscopy, DOSY, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Their ECD patterns depended on the substitution of the starting CTBs and were shifted bathochromically by comparison with the latter. ESI-MS in the presence of HCO2H allowed us to detect the complexes as proton adducts. The intensities of the signals were stronger when the phosphine was more electron-rich. This technique was also used to investigate the exchange of phosphine betweeen pairs of CTB complexes. The scrambling reaction was demonstrated by the higher intensity of the signals of the complexes subjected to the exchange of a single phosphine ligand by comparison with the intensity of the signals of the starting complexes.
