Abstract The synthesis of N,N,-alkyl 1,2-phenylenediamines 1,2-C6H4(NHR)2 [R = CH2CH2CH3 (nPr), CH2tBu (Np)] was carried out in three steps by lithiation of the primary 1,2-phenylenediamine, reaction with the appropriate acyl chloride and reduction with LiAlH4. The addition of nBuLi to a stirred solution of N,N,-alkyl diamines in cold hexane resulted in the immediate deposition of the corresponding lithium salts, which react with [MCpR,Cl3] to give the diamidochloro(,5 -cyclopentadienyl)titanium and -zirconium complexes [MCpR,{1,2-C6H4(NR)2}Cl] (4,10) [M = Ti, Zr; CpR, = ,5 -C5H5, ,5 -C5(CH3)5, ,5 -C5H4(SiMe3); R = nPr, Np]. The compound [Ti(,5 -C5H5){1,2-C6H4(NnPr)2}Cl] (3) was obtained by treatment of [Ti(,5 -C5H5)Cl3] with 1,2-C6H4(NHnPr)2 in the presence of NEt3 in toluene. All the reported compounds were characterized by the usual analytical and NMR spectroscopic methods. The molecular structures of 3 and 7 were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The compounds described here were further investigated as potential olefin polymerization catalysts. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004) [source]


(4-Acyl-5-pyrazolonato)titanium Derivatives: Oligomerization, Hydrolysis, Voltammetry, and DFT Study

Abstract Twenty 4-acyl-5-pyrazolonato (Q) titanium derivatives of varied nuclearity have been synthesized from Ti(OR)4 or TiCl4 and characterized with spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, ESI-MS). While Ti,(,-diketonato) cleavage is not seen in isolated solids, Ti,O(alkoxy) (or Ti,Cl) bonds cleave upon hydrolysis, leading to several structural forms, including oligomers. Ionic Q species with no Ti, i.e., obtained after Ti,Q cleavage, are seen for some Ti,Q derivatives by ESI-MS, which also indicates a varied nuclearity for a given species, e.g., the isolated polynuclear [Q2Ti-,-O]n has several "n" values. Mononuclear Ti complexes are obtained under rigorous anhydrous conditions. The cis structures of the mononuclear species (QT)2Ti(OCH3)2, QT = 3-methyl-4-(neopentylcarbonyl)-1-phenylpyrazol-5-onato have been analyzed with DFT methods. A trans influence is a major driving force that accounts for several sets of Ti,O bonds. One of the cis stereoisomers is 56 kcal/mol higher in energy than the other two. In contrast, all (QT)2TiCl2cis isomers show similar energies. Voltammetry of the mononuclear species (QT)2Ti(OnPr)2 and the antitumor tetranuclear compound [(QB)2Ti-,-O]4, (QB = 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-onato) indicate that the TiIV is less prone to reduction to TiIII in the latter (Epc for the TiIV/TiIII couple is ,1.71 V and ,1.46 V versus Fc+/Fc, respectively). Potential antitumor compounds having a Ti/Q ratio of 1:1 do not disproportionate, unlike the equivalent acetylacetonato derivatives, and are water-soluble. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Screening of Different Titanium (IV) Catalysts in the Synthesis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Abstract The polycondensation of bis(hydroxyethylene) terephthalate and its oligomers to PET catalyzed by different chelated and non-chelated titanium catalysts in a lab-scale stirred-tank reactor and differential scanning calorimeter were investigated. Different titanium compounds showed different activity and selectivity. The nature of catalyst ligands plays an important role in catalyst efficiency. Non-chelated titanium derivatives were more active and less selective. Reaction progress is characterized by an initial inhibition period depending on the type of catalyst. The original titanium compounds used are precursors and are probably activated by a ligand exchange reaction. [source]


Synthesis of magnesium dicyclopentadienide catalyzed by titanium and vanadium derivatives,

Abstract Synthesis of magnesium dicyclopentadienide from metal and cyclopentadiene in THF is effectively catalyzed by the derivatives of vanadium and titanium. The kinetics of the synthesis, as well as thermodynamic parameters of reagents adsorption on the magnesium surface, have been determined. The process catalyzed by titanium derivatives is accompanied by the quantitative hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene whereas the catalysis by vanadium derivatives leads to hydrogen gas evolution. A number of reaction intermediates including Cp2TiCl, Cp2TiH2MgCl, Cp2Ti(cyclo-C5H7) and Cp2V, were identified by the electron spin resonance method. The equilibrium constants, enthalpies and entropies of adsorption of metal halides on the magnesium surface were calculated. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
