Abstract

Sulfonation of (diphenylphosphinothioyl)ferrocene (1) with chlorosulfonic acid in acetic anhydride affords the crude sulfonic acid Ph2P(S)fcSO3H (2; fc = ferrocene-1,1′-diyl), which can be efficiently purified and isolated after conversion to Ph2P(S)fcSO3(HNEt3) (3). Methyl triflate/P(NMe2)3 can be used to convert compound 3 to the stable sulfonate salt Ph2PfcSO3(HNEt3) (4) and Ph2P(Me)fcSO3 (5) as a minor, zwitterionic byproduct. Alternatively, compound 4 can be prepared by lithiation of 1′-(diphenylphosphino)-1-bromoferrocene (6; Ph2PfcBr) and trapping of the lithiated intermediate with SO3·NMe3. Reactions of [(LNC)PdX]2 and [(LSC)PdX]2, where X = Cl, AcO, LNC = 2-[(dimethylamino-κN)methyl]phenyl-κC1, and LSC = 2-[(methylthio-κS)methyl]phenyl-κC1, with 4 uniformly produced the bis-chelate complexes [(LNC)Pd(Ph2PfcSO3-κ2O,P)] (7) and [(LSC)Pd(Ph2PfcSO3-κ2O,P)] (8), respectively. The reaction of [PdCl2(MeCN)2] with 4 afforded the bis(phosphine) complex trans-(Et3NH)2[PdCl2(Ph2PfcSO3-κP)2] (9). Complexes 7...
