An Abstract of Hydroamination and Hydrosilylation Catalyzed by Cationic Palladium- and Nickel(allyl) Complexes Supported by 3-Iminophosphine Ligands by Hosein Tafazolian Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Chemistry The University of Toledo December 2016 Chapter 1. A brief introduction to organometallic chemistry and catalysis is presented to explain the basics of the field to the reader. A few examples of catalysis, mainly hydroamination and hydrosilylation, and their mechanisms are presented. The significance of ligands in catalysis is also discussed. Chapter 2. Six new 3-iminophosphine ligands and their cationic (allyl)palladium complexes were synthesized. These catalytically active palladium complexes were utilized in the hydroamination of cyclohexylallene with secondary amines in order to better understand the mechanism of this hydroamination reaction. The kinetics of the reaction were also studied with the help of time-resolved 1H NMR spectroscopy, as well as deuterium labeling experiments. Chapter 3. Four new [(3-iminophosphine)nickel(allyl)]OTf complexes were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. Equimolar reactions of these new complexes with secondary amines provided useful information on the activation of these complexes in the presence of secondary amines. They also catalyzed the hydroamination of terminal allenes with iii secondary amines to produce allylamines in moderate to high yields, which were then characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry. Chapter 4. A previously synthesized [(3-iminophosphine)palladium(allyl)]OTf complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the hydrosilylation of allenes with a wide range of hydrosilanes. Several new allyl- and vinylsilanes were synthesized catalytically and fully characterized. The observed regioselectivity and a double labeled H/D experiment resolved the mechanism of the reaction while also explaining its regioselectivity. Chapter 5. Various cationic palladium and nickel complexes were investigated in the hydrosilylation of imines, ketones, and alkynes. Several new allylamine, silylether and vinylsilane compounds were formed in this study and characterized. Substrate scope and mechanisms of the catalytic reactions are discussed. iv Dedicated to My Family and Friends Table of Contents Abstract
