The synthesis of the three ligands employed in this study is based on the condensation of two molar equivalents of (S)valinol with the diester precursors pyrrole-2,5-bis(ethyl)acetate (2a), furan-2,5-bis(ethyl)acetate (2b) and thiophene-2,5-bis (ethyl) acetate (2c). This gave the corresponding bis(oxazolinyhnethyl)pyrrole (iPrL(O), 4a), bis(oxazolinylmethyl)furan (iPrL(O), 4b) and bis(oxazolinylmethyl)thiophene (iPrL(S), 4c) ligands. Stirring 4a in MeOD at ambient temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid (1 mol-%) led to complete hydrogen/deuterium exchange in the two bridging methylene groups of the ligand. This behaviour is explained by an acetate-mediated reversible proton transfer between the oxazoline N atom and the methylene bridge, a conjecture which was supported by a DFT study of the process. Deprotonation of iPrL(N)H (4a) with tBuLi at -78 degrees C and subsequent stirring with NiCl2 yielded the square planar nickel(II) complex [Ni(iPrL(N))Cl] (5). However, on stirring iPrL(N)H (4a) with nickel acetate in methanol, a deep red nickel acetato complex [Ni(iso-iPrL(N))(OAc)] (6) bearing the isomerized tridentate pincer ligand was obtained. Reaction of acetato complex 6 with Me3SiCl in dichloromethane cleanly gave the corresponding chlorido complex [Ni(iso-PrLN)Cl] (7), which is the isomer of compound 5. The intra-ligand rearrangement was explained by acetate-mediated proton transfer between the methylene bridges and the 3/4-positions of the pyrrole ring, the computed thermodynamic driving force being Delta G = -9.8 kcalmol(-1). Neither thiophene derivative 4c nor furan-derived ligand 4b gave robust, isolable complexes with nickel(II). However, reaction of iPrL(O) (4b) with [CrCl3(thf)(3)] in thf yielded the yellow-green complex [CrCl3(iPrL(O))] (8), whereas no complexation occurred with the analogous thiophene-derived bisoxazolme 4c.
