The phosphine-functionalized phosphonium-based ionic liquids(dppm-Q, dppe-Q, dppp-Q and dppb-Q) as the bi-functional ligands enable the efficient one-pot tandem hydroformylationeacetalization. It was found that, in dppm-Q, dppe-Q, dppp-Q and dppb-Q, the incorporated phosphino-fragments were responsible for Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation and the phosphoniums were in charge of the subsequent acetalization as the Lewis acid catalysts. Moreover, the diphosphonium-based ionic liquid of dppb-DQ could be applied as a co-solvent to immobilize the Rh/dppb-Q catalytic system with the advantages of the improved catalytic performance, the available catalyst recyclability, and the wide generality for the substrates.
The neutral palladium(Ⅱ) complex bis-[1-(5'-diphenylphosphinothiazol-2'-yl)-imidazolyl]dichloropalladium(Ⅱ)(1A) ligated by thiazolylimidazolyl-based phosphine(L1) in which thiazolylimidazolyl acted as an S- and N-donor provider with weak coordinating nature,and the ionic complex bis-[1-(5'-diphenylphosphinothiazol-2'-yl)-3-methylimidazolium]dichloropalladium(Ⅱ) trifluoromethanesulfonate(2A) ligated by thiazolylimidazolium-based phosphine(L2) after quaternization of L1 using methyl trifluoromethanesulphonate were synthesized.It was found that the introduced positive charges and strong electron-withdrawing effect in 2A not only led to changes in the configuration and structural stability of the complex,but also lowered its catalytic performance in carbonylative Sonogashira reactions.These effects reveal the important role of the N-donor in 1A.In addition,as an ionic palladium complex,2A combined with the room-temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate could be recycled eight times as the catalyst in carbonylative Sonogashira reactions without detectable metal leaching.
