Reaction of N-Isopropyl-N-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridin-6-amine with K2PtCl4: Selective C–H Bond Activation, C–N Bond Cleavage, and Selective Acylation
2013
The selective C–H bond activation of N-isopropyl-N-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridin-6-amine promoted by Pt(II) was complicated by the low selectivity of sp2 C–H bond activation in acetonitrile and low yield of sp3 C–H activation in acetic acid. The use of a base was found to effectively suppress the competing sp3 C–H bond activation in acetonitrile, improving the selectivity of sp2 C–H bond activation from 70% to 99%. In the reaction in acetic acid, the low yield was due to the competing C–N bond cleavage. The use of a base reduced the C–N bond cleavage, but not completely. The reaction of N-tert-butyl-N-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridin-6-amine with K2PtCl4 in acetic acid produced the cyclometalated complex with complete C–N bond cleavage and its acylated derivative. These results indicated that the C–N bond cleavage might proceed via heterolytic C–N bond dissociation. The acylation following the C–N cleavage in the reaction in acetic acid is regioselective. Further experiments showed that the reaction of N-phenyl-2,2′-bipyrid...
