摘要
Three bis(1,2,3-triazolylidene) silver(i) complexes were synthesized, and the ruthenium complexes ([RCH2N2(NMe)C2Ph)]RuCl2(p-cymene) (R = C6H2Me3 4a(1), C(6)H(2)lPr(3) 4b(1)) were isolated as major products with the minor C(sp(2))-H activated products ([RCH2N2(NMe)C2C6H4)]RuCl(p-cymene) (R = C6H2Me3 4a(2), C(6)H(2)iPr(3) 4b(2)). In the related case where R = Ph, the species ([PhCH2N2(NMe)C2Ph)]RuCl2(p-cymene) 4c(1) was obtained with two C(sp(2))-H activated products (PhCH2N2(NMe)C2C6H4)]RuCl(p-cymene) 4c(2) and [(C6H4)CH2N2(NMe)C2Ph)]RuCl(p-cymene) 4c(3) derived from metaltation of the N and C-bound arene rings. Heating a solution of 4a(1) at 45 degrees C over three weeks resulted in a ruthenium(II)(1,2,3-triazolylidene) complex [(C6H2Me3)CH2N2(NMe)C2Ph)]RuCl2 5a, where the pendant mesityl group on the triazotylidene moiety displaced the p-cymene ligand. The complexes 4a(1), 4b(1), 4c(1) and 5a displayed moderate catalytic activities in base-free oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes and oxidative homocoupling of benzyl amines to imines using oxygen as oxidant.
