Abstract
Complexation of 1,8-naphthyridine(Np)-2-carboxylic derivatives L1-L3 [L1 = Np-2-COOH, L2 = Np-2-CONH2, L3 = Np-2-CONHCH2Py] with [Ir(COD)(µ-OMe)]2 yielded the corresponding complexes [Ir(COD)(Ln)] (1~3, n = 1~3, respectively). The potential tridentate L3 behaves as a bidentate donor in the complex 3. Treatment of L1 with [Ir(COD)Cl]2 under nitrogen atmosphere gave a Ir(III) hydride complex [Ir(COD)(L1)HCl] (4). However, carrying out the reaction in the presence of oxygen rendered a Ir(III) dichloride species [Ir(COD)(L1)Cl2] (5). All these complexes were characterized by spectroscopic analyses and X-ray single crystal determination. Catalytic activity of iridium complexes in amination of amines with alcohols was screened. It appears that iridium amido complexes 2 and 3 show excellent catalytic activity on amination of anilines with alcohols in the presence of Cs2CO3 at 120 °C.
