Structural Characterization of Bismuth(III) and Antimony(III) Chlorotriflates: Key Intermediates in Catalytic Friedel−Crafts Transformations

Abstract: Chlorotriflates of antimony and bismuth ClnM(OSO2CF3)3−n (n = 1 or 2) are believed to be metallic intermediates of major importance in Friedel−Crafts reactions that use Bi(OSO2CF3)3, Sb(OSO2CF3)3, the systems BiCl3/CF3SO2OH or SbCl3/CF3SO2OH as catalysts. Unknown until now, the compounds ClBi(OSO2CF3)2 (1) and Cl2Sb(OSO2CF3) (2) have been synthesized by reaction of MCl3 (M = Bi, Sb) with triflic acid. After crystallization from THF, 1 and 2 were investigated in the solid state by X‐ray crystallography. Their u… Show more

“…Bismuth() chloride (2) [5f] is not an efficient catalyst for the arylsulfonylation of arenes and, just as 1 [3] and 3, proved to be inactive for the methanesulfonylation of toluene (4) (Table 1, Entry 1) and a variety of other arenes such as mesitylene (5), o-xylene (6), m-xylene (7), p-xylene (8), fluorobenzene (9), benzene (10), chlorobenzene (11), o-dichlorobenzene (12), 1,3-difluorobenzene (13), o-fluorotoluene (14), m-fluorotoluene (15) and p-fluorotoluene (16) (for purposes of clarity these results are not shown in the table). When system A or system B was used, however, an exothermic reaction occurred and a mixture of methyltolylsulfones (17) was obtained in almost quantitative yields, accompanied by the release of hydrogen chloride (Table 1, Entries 2, 3).…”

“…[ [12] Interestingly, with system B almost no reaction takes place in the case of 5 (Entry 5), while this system proved to be efficient with fluorobenzene (9) (Entry 13). Mesitylene (5) is a strong π donor arene capable of generating Menschutkin complexes, which are most probably involved in deactivation of the catalyst.…”
