ABSTRACT: Carbosilane metallodendrimers containing substituted titanocene dichloride end groups were prepared using hydrosilylation as the capping reaction. Two complementary pathways were followed: hydrosilylation of ω-alkenyl-substituted titanocene dichloride complexes with Si−H bond terminated dendrimers and hydrosilylation of vinyl terminated dendritic materials with 3-(dimethylsilyl)propyl-substituted titanocene dichloride. The former procedure provided dendrimers of the first generation with four end units and of the second generation with eight end units. The latter method gave dendrititic wedges and dendrimers up to the second generation with 16 peripheral titanocene dichloride units and molecular weight 7070 Da. Dendritic materials were purified by GPC and characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and ESI-TOF mass spectrometry (metallodendrimers) and also by multinuclear NMR.



entiation between types of dendrimers4 and recently with organocatalysis by dendrimers5 are also available. Catalysis by an active site attached to a dendrimer, be it a metal complex or some other sort of catalytic site, meets many of the criteria that an ideal catalyst recycling method should have. Separation, importantly even in a continuous flow reactor, may be achieved by nanofiltration or similar methods.4c,6 We have been interested in cyclopentadienyl transition-metal complexes for catalytic applications for some time, since the cyclopentadienyl ligand offers certain advantages as a binding ligand, e.g. a strong η5 coordination mode, usually making it a spectator ligand or offering the possibility of stereoelectronic tuning of ligand properties.7 Several groups of authors reported cyclopentadienyl complexes on dendritic materials. Cyclopentadienes and cyclopentadienyls at the focal points of dendritic wedges were reported by Andrés et al.;8 however, we wish to concentrate on cyclopentadienyl complexes at the periphery, since they offer a much higher density of metal sites per unit of polymer material. Although cyclopentadienyl metal complexes were reported to be attached to dendrimers also via atoms other than the carbon of the cyclopentadienyl ring,9 we concentrated on Cp -ring-

INTRODUCTION

Dendrimers as a class of nanoscopic materials belong to the fastest-growing group of materials in modern chemistry, with numbers of publications currently counted in the tens of thousands. Dendrimers (and also hyperbranched polymers) have found multiple applications, catalysis by dendritic materials being among the most important. In the multitude of dendrimer types, those containing silicon−carbon bonds1 adopt a special position, owing to the fact that their properties are very suited for catalytic applicationsthermal and hydrolytic stability, nonpolarity, inertness, and neutral character based on the absence of polar bonds which is especially true for carbosilane dendrimers, i.e. dendrimers containing only Si−C bonds in their interior. In addition to that, carbosilane dendrimers allow relatively easy control of branching degree and thus dendrimer density and of distribution of catalytic sites which may be at the focal points of dendritic wedges, at the branching points of dendrimers, or at their periphery. The first catalysis by dendrimers was reported in 1991.2a Since 1994, when a seminal work of van Koten and co-workers2b on the application of metal-containing carbosilane dendrimers in catalysis appeared, the whole field grew considerably and catalysis by metal complexes attached to carbosilane dendrimers has been reviewed.3 Numerous reviews dealing with catalysis by metallodendrimers without differ© 2012 American Chemical Society

attached species, since otherwise the advantage of binding a complex via a spectator Cp ligand would have been lost. In the category of the latter materials, ferrocene-containing dendrimers developed mainly by groups in Madrid and Bordeaux play a dominant role.10 However, in those metallodendrimers the method of attaching the cyclopentadienyl moiety is rather specific due to the aromatic character of ferrocene, so that the relatively robust ferrocene part is always attached intact. Also, the importance of the ferrocene site in traditional homogeneous catalysis is comparably small; on the other hand, ferrocene-containing materials find broad application e.g. in areas where their redox properties are important, including electrocatalysis.10n So far only a few papers have reported other metallodendrimers where metals are bonded via Cp ligands. Carbosilane dendrimers with cyclopentadiene end groups were prepared by Cuadrado et al. and used to synthesize CpCo(CO)2 units at the periphery of the first-generation dendrimer.11 In the patent literature, Seyferth reported ethylidene carbosilane dendrimers with varied numbers of titanocene, zirconocene, and hafnocene dichloride end groups and also their use for polymerization.4j,12 Later Lang et al. described the synthesis of titanocene dichloride complexes at the periphery of carbosiloxane dendrimers,13 which are not as stable as carbosilane dendrimers, however.6g Recently, de Jesús and co-workers reported the synthesis of first- and secondgeneration dendrons containing [Cp2MCl2] (M = Ti, Zr) end groups and Si−Cl focal-point bonds.14 In their work the end groups were introduced by quantitative reactions of [CpMCl3] complexes with deprotonated cyclopentadiene end groups. Here we bring the results of attachment of titanocene dichloride units to carbosilane dendrimers using hydrosilylation as the capping reaction. Titanocene dichloride was chosen as a typical representative of cyclopentadienyl metal complexes important in catalysis. Also, [Cp2TiCl2] is well-known to exhibit antitumor biologic activity as the first metallocene compound that entered clinical trials.15 Its attachment to dendrimers of various sizes may therefore be of interest to those dealing with targeted transport of substances to cells.

mixed-ligand titanocene dichlorides [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(η 5 C5H4(CH2)nCHCH2)TiCl2] (3a−c) were prepared by the reaction of CpLi with the trichlorides 2a−c. First- and secondgeneration dendrimers with terminal Si−H bonds were prepared as previously reported in our group.16f Titanocene dichlorides 3a−c were finally reacted with dendrimers containing peripheral Si−H bond under catalysis by the Karstedt complex (Scheme 2). NMR spectra were in accordance with the proposed structures 4a−c and 5c. Notably, signals of vinyl protons of 3a−c completely disappeared from the 1H NMR spectra, giving rise to methylene signals overlapped with other methylene signals of dendrimer branches. In 13C NMR spectra the same process was demonstrated by the disappearance of vinyl carbon signals around 115 and 137 ppm of the complexes and the appearance of signals around 15 and 24 ppm assigned to the products. Further confirmation of the successful reaction was provided by 29Si NMR spectra, in which signals of the Si1−H terminated dendrimer at about −13 ppm disappeared and new signals between 1.5 and 1.7 ppm appeared. Compounds 4a,b were also investigated by mass spectrometry. Although MALDI-TOF MS can be used for ferrocene or cobaltocenium terminated dendrimers,10l,m,17 this technique failed with titanocene dichloride terminated dendrimers. Therefore, ESI-TOF MS, an analytical tool increasingly used for the analysis of sensitive organometallic compounds due to its mild working conditions,13,18 was used instead. Compounds 4a,b were dissolved in a mixture of dichloromethane and 1.0 mM sodium acetate/acetonitrile solution. Despite their high molecular weights, satisfactory high-resolution data could be obtained for the [M + Na]+ ions of 4a,b at m/z 1999.7 and 1943.6, respectively. In addition, for compound 4a the dicationic species [M + 2Na]2+ centered at m/z 1014 was also observed. In our hands the inverse hydrosilylation method gave satisfactory results with the first-generation dendrimers. With the second generation yields were low and crude products contained many impurities which had to be removed by chromatography. The result may be related to known inherent drawbacks of the inverse hydrosilylation methodthe bulky silicon hydride reactant can hardly be used in excess as is usual in hydrosilylation. Therefore, we turned our attention to the normal hydrosilylation method. To separate the silicon substituent from titanium, we wanted to connect the Cp ring with a substituent containing a Si−H bond through a three-carbon spacer, but the



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In general, there are two most often used strategies for attaching transition metal complexes to carbosilane dendrimers by hydrosilylation,1b the so-called “normal” hydrosilylation, when the double-bond-terminated dendrimer is reacted with a complex containing substituents with Si−H bonds, and “inverse” hydrosilylation, when a dendrimer terminated with Si−H bonds (usually obtained by reduction of Si−Cl bonds with LiAlH4) is treated with a complex containing ω-alkenyl substituents. The latter strategy was successfully applied to the synthesis of ferrocenyl carbosilane dendrimers.10d In addition to that, ωalkenyl-substituted titanium complexes seemed to be easier to synthesize than the corresponding silyl-substituted derivatives and we also had some experience with the reduction of Si−Cl to Si−H terminal bonds in dendrimers;16f therefore, the inverse hydrosilylation was the method of choice for us. Synthesis of ω-alkenyl-substituted titanium complexes was started from (ω-alkenyl)tetramethylcyclopentadienes, which were first deprotonated and reacted with [TiCl(O-iPr)3] to give the tris(isopropoxy) complexes 1a−c (Scheme 1). These compounds were then converted to the corresponding monocyclopentadienyl titanocene trichlorides 2a−c. The 6780

other hand, using propanediyl branches in the interior enabled higher flexibility and lower density in comparison to dendritic materials with ethanediyl branches only. 1H NMR spectra of the products show the characteristic pattern of vinyl groups, three doublets of doublets with geminal coupling constant 4.1 Hz and vicinal coupling constants 3Jtrans = 20.0 Hz and 3Jcis = 14.7 Hz. Defects in dendrimer structures, if present, could be easily detected in the region of vinyl groups. Signals of methylene protons of propanediyl branches were in some instances overlapped, this feature being more frequent in higher generation dendrimers. MALDI-TOF mass spectra of dendrimers 10−13 measured with silver trifluoroacetate as the ionizing agent agreed well with theoretical values and thus confirmed the assigned structures. Hydrosilylation of dendritic wedges and dendrimers 8−13 with complex 7 used in a slight excess gave the dendritic materials 14−19 (Figure 2). The commercial Karstedt catalyst was used in toluene at room or moderately increased temperature, and the course of the reactions was monitored by 1H NMR. Starting compounds were characterized by Si−H protons (complex 7) and protons of vinyl groups (wedges 8 and 9 and dendrimers 10−13). A slight overlap of the latter signals in the region of 5.6−6.2 ppm with signals of Cp rings did not prevent this monitoring. On the other hand, products were characterized by a broad singlet around 0.32 ppm resulting from the two methylene groups (formed by the addition of Si−H bond to vinyl groups) between the two outermost silicon atoms. Crude products still containing residual signals of complex 7 or its decomposition product siloxane but not the signals of vinyl groups were purified by GPC, giving pure compounds as red solids stable in air in the solid state. In case residual vinyl groups were still present in the reaction mixtures, fresh complex 7 and the Karstedt catalyst were added and the reaction continued until all vinyl signals disappeared. 13 C NMR spectra of pure products show four signals of cyclopentadienyl ligands (one for Cp and the other for the substituted ring); the absence of characteristic vinyl signals confirms complete hydrosilylation. The two carbon atoms between the two outermost silicons are found at stronger field in comparison to other methylene carbons of propanediyl branches and of the spacer connecting the Cp ring. In accordance with earlier observations,16f molecules of THF solvent were found in dendrimer interiors, especially with second-generation dendrimers. The chemical shifts of those encapsulated molecules, which could not be removed by prolonged treatment under high vacuum, were shifted toward

stable in air in the solid state. It was characterized by IR, NMR, and ESI-MS spectra; notably, the Si−H group was visible in IR (2109 cm−1) and also in in 1H (3.84 ppm) and 29Si (−13.12 ppm) NMR spectra. Dendrimers and dendritic wedges of the first and second generation terminated with Si−Cl bonds were prepared according to the literature16 and finally reacted with vinylmagnesium chloride to obtain dendritic wedges with 2 and 4 vinyl end groups and dendrimers with 4−16 vinyl groups at the periphery, 8−13 (Figure 1). Termination with vinyl groups was

chosen to limit the double-bond isomerization which may represent a serious problem in allyl terminated dendrimers.16f Núñez et al. also observed a considerably improved yield of products when reacting an (ω-dimethylsilyl)propyl-substituted carborane with tetravinylsilane in comparison to the reaction with tetraallylsilane in their study of the attachment of carborane derivatives to carbosilane frameworks.19 On the 6781

higher field sufficiently enough to differentiate them from the molecules of free solvent. 29Si NMR spectra clearly distinguish between different silicon environments. The outermost silicons give signals around 3.9 ppm and the nearest silicon atoms with two methyls resonate around 3.3 ppm, whereas those atoms with one methyl and two branches resonate at about 5.5 ppm. The core silicon atom is found at about 0.5−0.7 ppm. ESI-MS spectra of compounds 14 and 16 show the [M + Na]+ ions at m/z 1031 and 1951, respectively. For compound 16 a signal corresponding to the loss of one chloride [M − Cl]+ at m/z 1898 was also observed. In the negative mode, the spectrum of 14 shows a signal for [M + Cl]− at m/z 1045, indicating chloride rearrangement during the measurement. The observation of a dicationic species for 4a encouraged us to examine compounds 17 and 18 with molecular weights of 3379 and 4180 Da, respectively, approaching or exceeding the detection limits of monoionic species (4000 Da) of our MS machine. However, despite multiple attempts and increasing the Li and Na ion concentrations of the solutions, no mono- or multiionic species could be detected. In conclusion, we prepared the first carbosilane dendrons and dendrimers with peripheral titanocene dichloride groups bonded via cyclopentadienyl rings in higher than the first generation. Up to 16 titanocene dichloride units were attached to the periphery, giving compounds with molecular weights up to 7070 Da. The attachment reaction was hydrosilylation, and the two methods inverse and normal hydrosilylation were

tested and compared. The normal hydrosilylation employing a double bond terminated dendrimer and Si−H bond in the titanocene dichloride complex gave better results in terms of yield and purity of products. The use of these new dendritic materials as catalysts in organic synthesis is currently under investigation and will be published in due course.
