Description
Summary:para-Ethynyl aniline has been prepared, structurally characterised and investigated as a building block towards fully π-conjugated multifunctional ligands and complexes. Palladium–copper catalysed coupling with aryl halides affords a number of new amino-substituted aryl acetylenes, while using [Ni(CO) 2(PPh 3) 2] as a catalyst, cyclotrimerisation and dimerisation to give an ene-yne were competitive. Reaction of para-ethynyl aniline with low-valent metal centres affords acetylide complexes trans-[Pt(PR 3) 2(CCC 6H 4NH 2) 2] (R=Ph, Bu n ), cis-[Pt(η 2-dppe)(CCC 6H 4NH 2) 2], all trans-[Ru(CO) 2(PEt 3) 2(CCC 6H 4NH 2) 2] and [(μ-H)Ru 3(CO) 9(μ 3-CCC 6H 4NH 2)]. The bis(acetylide) trans-[Pt(PPh 3) 2(CCC 6H 4NH 2) 2] has been used to prepare extended chain complexes with amide, imine, imino-phosphorane and ferrocenyl imine units being generated. Attempts to prepare polymers via reaction with terephthaloyl chloride lead only to the formation of oligomers with an average of four monomer units.
