It has been known that olefins can be dimerized or co-dimerized by means of nickel-containing and phosphane-modified catalysts. Thus, the co-dimerization of cyclic dienes or strained olefins such as norbornene and ethene by using π-allylnickel halides or nickel(0) compounds and the activation thereof by means of Lewis acids and the modification with acyclic phosphanes, also optically active acyclic phosphanes, have been described several times [German Patent 20 39 125, Studiengesellschaft Kohle mbH. (priority 1970); U.S. patent 3,978,147, Studiengesellschaft Kohle mbH. (priority 1973); U.S. patent 4,098,834, Studiengesellschaft Kohle mbH. (priority 1976); G. Wilke etal., Angew. Chem. 1972, 1070; B. Bogdanovic etal., Angew. Chem. 1973, 1013; F. Petit etal., Bull. Soc. Chim. 1979, II-415; J. Chem. Soc. 1980, 937; G. Buono et al., J. Org. Chem. 1985, 50, 1781]. The processes known so far have technical disadvantages, as the catalysts show only relatively low activities and moreover, the accomplished selectivities are insufficient. The maximum numbers of catalytic cycles attainable with the processes described so far are too low for a commercial use.

Surprisingly, it was now found that said technical defects of the processes known so far can be overcome by using azaphospholenes as modifying ligands, the substituents of which azaphospholenes, due to their spatial requirements, will block certain rotations in the catalyst complexes. Therefrom ensue relatively rigid arrangements at the catalyst wherein always one nickel atom is complexed to each phosphorus atom. Such ligands are phospholenes having the following structure: <chemistry id="chem0001" num="0001"><img file="EP0247595A2_D0001.tif" /></chemistry> wherein the moieties R₁ and R₂ may be alkyl, aryl and aralkyl groups which may be varied within wide limits. Upon the preferred selection of R₁ = <chemistry id="chem0002" num="0002"><img file="EP0247595A2_D0002.tif" /></chemistry> , preferably in the optical R- or S-forms, respectively, and R₂ = CH₃, particularly good results are obtained. The up to now unknown diastereomer built up with these substituents has the following structure and configuration according to x-ray structural analysis: <chemistry id="chem0003" num="0003"><img file="EP0247595A2_D0003.tif" /></chemistry>

This diastereomer 6a was obtained by the following route starting from (-)-α-pinene or [(-)-(1R,5S)-myrtenal 1] and (+)-R-α-phenylethylamine :2. <chemistry id="chem0004" num="0004"><img file="EP0247595A2_D0004.tif" /></chemistry>

In an analogous manner, starting from (+)-α-pinene and (-)-S-α-phenylethylamine there may be prepared the compound 6aʹ which is the enantiomer of the aforementioned diastereomer. 6a and 6aʹ as ligands in nickel-containing catalysts have the effect that, e.g., the co-dimerization of norbornene with ethene may be realized even at a temperature of from +60 °C to -120 °C, and preferably of from -20 °C to -80 °C, with an activity of 20,000 cycles per hour and selectivities of >90%. The (-)-exo-vinylnorbornane formed according to the following reaction equation <chemistry id="chem0005" num="0005"><img file="EP0247595A2_D0005.tif" /></chemistry> by the use of 6a as ligand in the nickel catalyst in CH₂Cl₂ has an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of 57%, i.e. the ligand 6a causes not only high activity and selectivity, but also a high optical induction, so that according to the process an optically active product is obtained 78.5% of which consist of on enantiomer.

If, contrary thereto, an analogous phospholene is built up starting from (-)-α-pinene and (-)-S-α-phenylethylamine, then another diastereomer 6b results therefrom, the structure of which was also elucidated by X-ray analysis. <chemistry id="chem0006" num="0006"><img file="EP0247595A2_D0006.tif" /></chemistry>

6b, as a catalyst component shows the effects as indicated above for 6a with respect to catalyst activity to a degree reduced by the factor 100, i.e. under the same conditions there are accomplished about 200 cycles instead of 20,000 cycles. Then the obtained product shows (+)-rotation and is (+)-exo-vinylnorbornane with an e.e. of 40%. Molecular modelling investigations on 6a and 6b show that in 6a rotations around certain bonds, e.g. the central C-C bond (C₁- C₃₀) are largely restricted, while this is not the case in 6b. In 6a therefrom result the rigid arrangements as mentioned which correspond to secondary structures in enzymes.

10.05 g (21.9 mmol) of the crude product 4 are suspended in 100 ml of THF on a frit, the filtrate is collected in a flask, and the residue is discarded. To the orange-colored filtrate there are added at -10 °C 0.66 g (272 mmol) of active magnesium portionwise under vigorous stirring. After the completion of the addition the batch is allowed to warm up slowly to room temperature and is stirred overnight. After the solvent has been condensed off, 200 ml of ether are added to the residue, and the mixture is filtered. The ether is condensed off from the yellow filtrate to obtain 10.62 g of a viscous residue which is dissolved in 4 to 5 parts by volume of methanol with heating to about 60 °C. In a water bath (about 60 °C) the mixture is stirred and allowed to cool to room temperature overnight. A colorless precipitate of 6a is formed. Yield: 0.84 g (12.9% of theory); m.p. 134-135 °C (recrystallized from ethanol). (δ) ³¹P-NMR: 49.9 ppm (toluene); [α]⁵⁸⁹ = -64.69° (0.64 g/100 ml of CH₂Cl₂).

The azaphospholenes of the type 6a are suitable for the preparation of catalysts of a highly selective activity which in turn are capable of converting unsaturated hydrocarbons into optically active compounds. Thus, an optically active vinyl bicycloheptane is obtained from bicycloheptene and ethylene in space-time yields not yet described so far. Said optically active vinyl bicycloheptane in turn may be the starting material for the terpolymerization together with, e.g., ethylene and propylene to give polymers, and more particularly optically active polymers. Optically active polymers, due to their high sterical regularity, have improved physical and mechanical properties. Thus, optically active polymers are suitable as absorbents for the separation of enantiomers. In the same manner, an optically active 3-phenylbutene-1 is selectively obtainable in high yield from styrene and ethylene by co-dimerization, and so are substituted 3-phenylbutenes-1 from substituted styrenes and ethylene. The polymerization of this α-olefin products to optically active polymers is effected in the same way as the terpolymerization set forth above.

A further application of the azaphospholenes in the form of the described complex compounds together with organoaluminum compounds is the selective change of the structure of, e.g., heptadiene-1,6 to form 1-methyl-2-methylidene-cyclopentene, as well as the co-dimerization of 1,3-cyclopentadiene and ethylene leading to optically active 3-phenylpentene-1.

The solvent is cooled to -30 °C, and 0.079 g (0.182 mmol) of π-allylnickel chloride/phosphane 6a complex in 15 ml of cooled CH₂Cl₂ and 0.045 ml (0.197 mmol) of Et₃Al₂Cl₃ are added. The solution becomes orange in color. The catalyst mixture is stirred at -30 °C for 30 minutes, and then the solution of heptadiene-1,6 is dropwise added within 15 minutes. After 3 hours at -30 °C the reaction is stopped with gaseous ammonia. The crude product is condensed off invacuo, the solvent is withdrawn, and the residue is distilled through a Vigreux column. Yield: 9.4 g (94% of theory). 1-(S)-(+)-1-methyl-2-methylidenecyclopentene, b.p. 96 °C; [α]<img file="EP0247595A2_D0008.tif" /> +61.6° (undiluted) (93 % e.e.); conversion number: 1540

Example 15

A 100 l glass reaction vessel equipped with stirrer, a 25-l feed tank and an internal thermometer is provided with an argon atmosphere. The reaction vessel is charged with 40 l of CH₂Cl₂, and the feed tank is filled with 8.26 kg (79.5 mol) of styrene cooled to -20 °C in 16 l of CH₂Cl₂. The charged solvent is cooled to -62 °C by means of a refrigerating machine. The liquid is stirred, while 20.3 g (0.047 mol) of π-allylnickel chloride/phosphane 6a complex dissolved in 100 ml of CH₂Cl₂ cooled to -60 °C and 25 ml (0.109 mol) of Et₃Al₂Cl₃ (P:Ni:Al = 1:1:4.6) are added. Then ethylene is introduced, and the solution of styrene cooled to -20 °C by means of a second refrigerating machine is allowed to run in within 6 hours. The reaction temperature is maintained within a range of from -60 °C to -65 °C. After 7 hours the reaction is terminated by the introduction of gaseous ammonia. The solvent is distilled off under normal pressure, and the residue is fractioned through a column. Yield: 4.3 kg (32.5 mol; 41% of theory; 87.4% e.e.). (-)-(R)-3-phenylbutene-1; conversion number: 691.

Example 16

The procedure is as in Example 1. A 0.5-l flask is charged with 150 ml of CH₂Cl₂, and the dropping funnel is filled with 10 g (0.085 mol) of 4-methylstyrene in about 40 ml of CH₂Cl₂. The solvent is cooled to -70 °C with stirring, and 0.109 g (0.25 mmol) of π-allylnickel/phosphane 6a complex in about 20 ml of CH₂Cl₂ and 0.115 ml (0.50 mmol) of Et₃Al₂Cl₃ (P:Ni:Al = 1:1:4) are added. At -70 .C the solution of 4-methylstyrene is dropwise added within 15 minutes, and ethylene is simultaneously introduced into the solution. The reaction is terminated by introducing gaseous ammonia, and the reaction mixture is condensed off invacuo. The solvent is withdrawn, and the residue is distilled invacuo. Yield: 11.7 g (94.4% of theory). (-)-(R)-p-tolylbutene-1); conversion number: 320; [α]<img file="EP0247595A2_D0009.tif" /> -9.89°. in substance (95.2 % e.e.).

Example 17

The procedure is as in Example 1. A 0.5-l flask is charged with 150 ml of CH₂Cl₂, and the dropping funnel is filled with 16 g (0.242 mol) of monomeric cylopentadiene-1.3 in 15 ml of cooled CH₂Cl₂. The solvent is cooled to -70 °C, and 1.22 g (2.81 mmol) of π-allylnickel/phosphane 6a complex in 25 ml of cooled CH₂Cl₂ and 0.353 ml (2.81 mmol) of Et₂AlCl are added (P:Ni:Al = 1:1:1) . The reaction mixture is stirred at -70 °C for 30 minutes. Then ethylene is introduced into the apparatus for 1 minute, and then the solution of cyclopentadiene-1,3 is slowly added dropwise with simultaneous introduction of ethylene. The addition of the cyclopentadiene-1,3 solution takes 1 hour. Then the reaction mixture was stirrend for anotherhour. The reaction is terminated by introducing gaseous ammonia, and the product is condensed off invacuo. The solvent is withdrawn, and the residue is distilled. Yield: 8 g (0.084 mol; 35% of theory). (-)-(R)-3-vinylpentene-1 (92% e.e.); conversion number: 30.
