Abstract:
New heteroleptic Yb(II)-amide species supported by amidinate and 1,3,6,8-tetra-tert-butylcarbazol-9-yl ligands [2-MeOC6H4NC(tBu)N(C6H3-iPr2-2,6)]YbN(SiMe3)2(THF) (6) and [1,3,6,8-tBu4C12H4N]Yb[N(SiMe3)2](THF)n (n = 1 (7), 2 (8)) were synthesized using the amine elimination approach. Complex 6 features an unusual κ(1)-N,κ(2)-O,η(6)-arene coordination mode of the amidinate ligand onto Yb(II). Complexes 7 and 8 represent the first examples of lanthanide complexes with π-coordination of carbazol-9-yl ligands. Complexes 6 and 7, as well as the amidinate-Yb(II)-amide [tBuC(NC6H3-iPr2-2,6)2]YbN(SiMe3)2(THF) (5), are efficient precatalysts for the intermolecular hydrophosphination and hydroamination of styrene with diphenylphosphine, phenylphosphine, and pyrrolidine to give exclusively the anti-Markovnikov monoaddition product. For both types of reaction, the best performances were observed with carbazol-9-yl complex 7 (TONs up to 92 and 48 mol/mol at 60 °C, respectively).

Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
