A system for catalytic trimerization of ethylene utilizing CrCl3(THF)3and a diphosphine ligand PNPOMe[= (o-MeO-C6H4)2PN(Me)P(o-MeO-C6H4)2] has been investigated. The coordination chemistry of chromium with PNPOMehas been explored, and (PNPOMe)CrCl3and (PNPOMe)CrPh3(3) have been synthesized by ether displacement from chromium(III) precursors. Salt metathesis of (PNPOMe)CrCl3witho,o‘-biphenyldiyl Grignard affords (PNPOMe)Cr(o,o‘-biphenyldiyl)Br (4). Activation of3with H(Et2O)2B[C6H3(CF3)2]4or4with NaB[C6H3(CF3)2]4generates a catalytic system and trimerizes a 1:1 mixture of C2D4and C2H4to give isotopomers of 1-hexene without H/D scrambling (C6D12, C6D8H4, C6D4H8, and C6H12in a 1:3:3:1 ratio). The lack of crossover supports a mechanism involving metallacyclic intermediates. The mechanism of the ethylene trimerization reaction has also been studied by the reaction oftrans-,cis-, andgem-ethylene-d2with4upon activation with NaB[C6H3(CF3)2]4.
