Three Steps in One Pot: Synthesis of Linear Bilateral Extended 2,2′:6′,2″-Terpyridineruthenium(II) Complexes
收藏资源简介：
Metal complexes of linear bilateral extended 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine [2,6-bis(2-substituted furo[2,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)pyridine] are topological tridentate analogues of 5,5′-functionalized 2,2′-bipyridine. The present methodology provides access to linear bilateral extended 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridineruthenium(II) complexes starting from 5,5″-bis(methoxymethoxy)-4,4″-bis(substituted ethynyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines via one-pot cleavage of the methoxymethyl (MOM) protecting group, cycloisomerization, and metal complexation in the presence of Ru(DMSO)4Cl2. In this reaction, ruthenium(II) likely plays a triple role, acting as a Lewis acid to cleave the MOM ether, a catalyst facilitating 5-endo-dig cyclization, and a coordination metal center, being an integral part of the final product.
