Two routes for the preparation of sterically demanding phosphinoesters RR′P(CH2)nCO2Me (n=1,2 or 3) and RR′P(CH2)nCO2Et (n=1 or 2) have been developed: (1) reaction of trimethyl-silyl phosphines RR′PSiMe3 (R=R′=/Pr. rBu) with ω-chloroalkylesters, and (2) hydrophos- phination of secondary phosphines HP(R)Ph (R = Me, Et. Pr. iPr, iBu) with unsaturated carboxylic esters. From iPr2PCH2CO2Me (3) and iPr2PCH2CO2Et (4), a variety of rhodium(I) and rhodium(III) complexes, mainly with alkyne and vinylidene ligands, have been prepared. Compound [RhCl(C8H14)2]2 (19) reacts with four equiv. of 3 to give [RhCl(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (20) which on further treatment with CO affords the carbonyl complex trans-[RhCl(CO)(iPr′>PCH2CO2Me)2] (21). The related ethylene derivative trans-[RhCl(C2H4)(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (23) is obtained from [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 (22) and 3. Compound 20 reacts with H2 and HCl by oxidative addition to yield [RhHXCl(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (24, 25) and with RC≡CR′ to give the alkyne complexes trans-[RhCl(RC≡CR′)(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (26-28). The analogous compounds trans- RhCl(HC≡CR)(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (29, 30), equally prepared from 20 and HC≡CR, both rearrange thermally and photochemically to produce the vinylidene isomers trans-[RhCl(=C=CHR)(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (31, 32). In contrast, propyne reacts with 20 to give the allene complex trans-[RhCl(CH2=C=CH2)(iPr2PCH2CO2Me)2] (33). The synthesis of [RhCl(iPr2PCH2CO2Et)2] (34) and the corresponding alkyne and vinylidene adducts 35 and 36, obtained with HC≡CCO2Me as the substrate, is also described.
