SYNTHESIS, REACTIONS, AND CATALYTIC CHEMISTRY OF THE WATER-SOLUBLE CHELATING PHOSPHINE ,2-BIS[BIS(M-SODIOSULFONATOPHENYL)PHOSPHINO]ETHANE (DPPETS) - COMPLEXES WITH NICKEL, PALLADIUM, PLATINUM, AND RHODIUM

Direct sulfonation of bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, DPPE, leads to a c
omplicated mixture of sulfonated products which includes 1,2-bis[bis (
m-sodiosulfonatophenyl) phosphino] ethane, DPPETS. DPPETS is isolated
in gram quantities by fractional precipitation; the overall yield is 3
0%. The ligand is more electron accepting than its nonsulfonated analo
g, DPPE, as judged by the nickel complexes Ni(L)(CO)(2) where L = DPPE
and DPPETS. Several coordination compounds of Ph, Pd, and Pt are repo
rted. Water-soluble rhodium compounds prepared in situ from Rh(acac)(C
O)(2) and DPPETS show poor activity but selectivity similar to that of
Rh(acac)(CO)(2) + trisulfonated triphenylphosphine in the two-phase h
ydroformylation of octene-1. Under two-phase reaction conditions n/b r
atios of 2.2-3.2 are observed for the hydroformylation of octene-1 at
120 degrees C and 200 psig of CO/H-2. Conversions in the range of 5-25
% were observed. Maximum activity with DPPETS occurs at a P/Rh ratio o
f 3/1; at high P/Rh ratios, catalysts derived from the monodentate wat
er-soluble ligand, TPPTS, are more active.
