Abstract

As a follow-up to our research on the chemistry of disubstituted ferrocene derivatives, the synthesis and the structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₉N)]I·CH₂Cl₂, is described. The cation mol­ecule is built up from a ferrocene disubstituted by a tri­methyl­ammonium methyl group and a phenyl ring. The asymmetric unit contains the iodide to equilibrate the charge and a disordered di­chloro­methane solvate. The disordered model results from a roughly statistical exchange (0.6/0.4) between one Cl and one H. The packing of the structure is stabilized by weak C—H⋯X (X = I, Cl), C—H⋯π(Cp) and C—Cl⋯π(phen­yl) inter­actions, building a three-dimensional network. The cation has planar chirality with S_p (Fc) absolute configuration. The structure of the title compound is compared with related disubstituted (tri­meth­ylammonio)­methyl ferrocenes.

1. Chemical context

Asymmetric catalysis by transition metals has received considerable attention over the last few decades and numerous chiral ligands and complexes allowing high activity and enanti­oselectivity have been reported (Jacobsen et al., 1999 ▸; Börner, 2008 ▸). For this purpose, catalysts need a chiral ligand presenting at least a chiral center, a chiral axis or a planar chirality. Amongst the various chiral ligands that have been synthesized, ferrocenyl phosphines have proven to be particularly efficient for numerous asymmetric reactions (Buergler et al., 2012 ▸; Gómez Arrayás et al., 2006 ▸; Toma et al., 2014 ▸)

Over the last few years, our team has developed the synthesis of various chiral ferrocenyl ligands for asymmetric catalysis (Audin et al., 2010 ▸; Labande et al., 2007 ▸; Bayda et al., 2014 ▸; Daran et al., 2010 ▸; Wei et al., 2012 ▸, 2014 ▸; Loxq et al., 2014 ▸). We mainly focused on a series of chiral bidentate PX ferrocenyl ligands (X = OR, SR, NHC) bearing planar chirality, which have been successfully used in different homogeneous asymmetric catalytic reactions: allylic substitution, meth­oxy­carbonyl­ation, hydrogenation (Kozinets et al., 2012 ▸; Le Roux et al., 2007 ▸; Diab et al., 2008 ▸; Routaboul et al., 2005 ▸). All of these ligands present a planar chiral 1,2-disubstituted ferrocenyl group with coordination sites on both substituents. More recently, we wanted to extend the application of planar chiral 1,2-disubstituted ferrocenyl groups to the synthesis of ligands with only one substituent bearing a coordination site for fine tuning of existing ligands. To this aim, we needed an enanti­omerically pure planar chiral building block bearing a good leaving group in order to introduce a planar chiral substituent on nucleophilic atoms. In this context, we report here the two-step synthesis of the title [(S_p )-(2-phenyl­ferrocen­yl)meth­yl]tri­methyl­ammonium iodide salt.

The latter is synthesized in two steps, the first consists in the enanti­oselective synthesis of (S_p )-A following the procedure developed by S.-L. You and co-workers (Gao et al., 2013 ▸), the second step is a quaternization of the tertiary amine to the ammonium salt by reaction with an excess of iodo methane. (Ferro­cenyl­meth­yl) ammoniums have been used successfully as electrophiles because of the stabilization of carbocations in an α position of ferrocene derivatives and because of the presence of a good leaving group: tri­methyl­amine. Nucleophilic[EM2] substitution (Lin et al., 2020 ▸) on the methyl­ene carbon atom in the α position of the ferrocene moiety in compound B, [(Sp)-(2-phenyl­ferrocen­yl)meth­yl]tri­methyl­ammonium iodide, should then be favoured and should provide an efficient access to a wide range of various enanti­omerically pure ferrocene deriv­atives of type C including ligands, by reaction with various nucleophiles (amines, thiols, alcohols) (Fig. 1 ▸).

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure is based on a ferrocene moiety in which one of the Cp rings is disubstituted in the 1,2 position by a tri-methyl­ammonium-methyl and a phenyl substituent. The mol­ecule has a positive charge, which is counterbalanced by an iodide (Fig. 2 ▸). Moreover, there is one disordered di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecule per asymmetric unit. The disordered model results from the exchange between one Cl and one H in the ratio 0.6/0.4 (Fig. 3 ▸). This disorder might be induced by the occurence of weak C—Cl⋯I intra­molecular and C—H⋯Cl inter­molecular inter­actions. There are weak intra­molecular C—H⋯I inter­actions within the asymmetric unit.

As a result of the presence of the two substituents on the Cp ring, the cation mol­ecule has planar chirality and its absolute structure is S_p , which is confirmed by the refinement of the Flack parameter (Parsons et al., 2013 ▸). The phenyl ring is twisted with respect to the Cp ring by 48.74 (17)° and the C1–C11–N1 unit is roughly perpendicular to the Cp ring to which it is attached, making a dihedral angle of 89.7 (2)°.

3. Supra­molecular features

The crystal packing is governed by the occurrence of weak C—H⋯X (X = Cl, I), C—H⋯π and C—Cl⋯π inter­actions (Table 1 ▸). The iodine atom is engaged in many weak C—H⋯I inter­actions involving some of the H atoms of the methyl groups, one H atom of the methyl­ene group and the non-disordered H atoms of the di­chloro­methane solvate. These inter­actions build up a ribbon developing parallel to the b axis (Fig. 4 ▸). Then the Cl2 atom of the chloro­form solvate inter­acts with the C12—H12C methyl group, thus building a link between the strips, resulting in a layer parallel to the ( 01) plane (Fig. 4 ▸). Moreover, there are two weak C—H⋯π inter­actions involving atom H13B of the C13 methyl group with the centroid of the Cp ring (C6–C10; Ct2) and atom C23 of the phenyl group with the centroid of the substituted Cp ring (C1–C5; Ct1). Finally, there is also a C—Cl⋯π inter­action involving the Cl1 atom of the solvate [C30—Cl1⋯Ct3 (C21–C26), 1.757 (8), 3.4096 (2) and 4.7694 (3) Å, 132.13 (1)°]. All these inter­actions build up a three-dimensional network.

4. Database survey

A search in the Cambridge Structural Database (version 5.36; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) using a fragment containing a ferrocenyl disubsituted by a tri­methyl­amoniummethyl and at least a C atom gave six hits that could be compared with the title compound. A comparison of C1—C11, C11—N1 distances and dihedral angles between the Cp ring and the C1–C11–N1 plane is shown in Table 2 ▸. In all these compounds, the bulky N(CH₃)₃ group is always above the Cp ring to which it is attached. The dihedral angles between the Cp and the C–C–N plane range from 69.8 to 89.7° for the title compound.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Synthesis of ( S_p )-1-di­meth­ylamino­methyl-2-phen­ylferrocene [( S_p )-A]: To a solution of phen­ylboronic acid (110 mg, 1 mmol) in DMA (8 mL) were added Boc–L–Val–OH (43.5 mg, 0.2 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (22.5 mg, 0.1 mmol), K₂CO₃ (138.21 mg, 1 mmol), TBAB (tetra­butyl ammonium bromide; 80 mg, 0.25 mmol) and N,N-di­meth­ylferrocen­ylmeth­ylamine (243 mg, 1 mmol) successively. The mixture was stirred at 333 K under air (open flask). When the reaction was complete (TLC monitoring), the mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ and the organic phase was extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with H₂O and brine successively, dried (Na₂SO₄) and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether = 1/10, v/v, 2% Et₃N) to afford the desired product A as a yellow oil (205 mg, 64% yield). The results are in agreement with published analytical data (Gao et al., 2013 ▸).

The occurrence of three large residual densities around the C atom of the solvate with distances around 1.76 Å initially suggested the presence of a chloroform solvate mol­ecule. However, if one of the Cl atoms (Cl1) could be refined correctly with full occupancy, the two others display large and elongated ellipsoids. Refining their occupancy factors using the restraints available in SHELXL gave a ratio of 0.6/0.4. So the disordered model is based on an exchange between one H and one Cl (Fig. 3 ▸). The model has been refined using the PART instruction to model two CH₂Cl₂ models. The non-disordered atoms C30, H30 and Cl1 were split with occupancy factor 0.5 and introduced in the two models (C30A, C30B, H30A, H30B, Cl1A, Cl1B). Their coordinates and thermal parameters were constrained to be identical using the EXYZ and EADP commands available in SHELXL. This disordered model is not perfect, as suggested by a large residual electron density in the vicinity of the atom H30B.

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
