Abstract

β-Aminoketone (2-H) was prepared by the condensation reaction of acetylacetone with aniline derivatives. Divalent iron complexes formulated as [Fe(Ar-β-aminoketonato)2] (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl: 3a, 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl: 3b, 2,6-dimethylphenyl: 3c, 4-methylphenyl: 3d) were prepared by the reaction of FeCl2 with two equivalents of Li(β-aminoketonato), which was prepared by the deprotonation of 2-H with n-BuLi in situ. X-Ray diffraction revealed that these iron complexes have a four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry around the iron center. The distortion from a tetrahedral geometry in the iron complexes 3 was influenced by substituents on the nitrogen atoms, i.e., a sterically encumbered substituent on the nitrogen atom caused more distortion from the normal tetrahedral geometry. Radical polymerization of styrene catalyzed by the iron complex (3) coupled with (1-bromoethyl)benzene as an initiator was examined. The iron complex 3c was found to be an efficient catalyst for the controlled radical polymerization of styrene. In order to elucidate the catalytic activity of iron complexes 3, the cyclic voltammograms of complexes 3 were measured and X-ray diffraction on trivalent iron complexes was performed. The pincer-type iron complex (1), having the tridentate β-aminoketonato scaffold, acted as an effective catalyst for the controlled radical polymerization of 4-chlorostyrene. Furthermore, the radical polymerization of 4-acetoxystyrene was also investigated.
