Project description:Highly reactive rhodium(II) N-trifluoromethylsulfonyl azavinyl carbenes are formed in situ from NH-1,2,3-triazoles, triflic anhydride, and rhodium carboxylates. They rapidly and selectively react with olefins, providing cyclopropane carboxaldehydes and 2,3-dihydropyrroles in generally excellent yields and high enantio- and diastereoselectivity.

Project description:The lithium salts of anionic N-heterocyclic thiones and selones [{(WCA-IDipp)E}Li(toluene)] (1: E=S; 2: E=Se; WCA=B(C6 F5 )3 , IDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene), which contain a weakly coordinating anionic (WCA) borate moiety in the imidazole backbone were reacted with Me3 SiCl, to furnish the silylated adducts (WCA-IDipp)ESiMe3 (3: E=S; 4: E=Se). The reaction of the latter with [(η5 -C5 Me5 )MCl2 ]2 (M=Rh, Ir) afforded the rhodium(III) and iridium(III) half-sandwich complexes [{(WCA-IDipp)E}MCl(η5 -C5 Me5 )] (5-8). The direct reaction of the lithium salts 1 and 2 with a half or a full equivalent of [M(COD)Cl]2 (M=Rh, Ir) afforded the monometallic complexes [{(WCA-IDipp)E}M(COD)] (9-12) or the bimetallic complexes [μ2 -{(WCA-IDipp)E}M2 (COD)2 (μ2 -Cl)] (13-16), respectively. The bonding situation in these complexes has been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, revealing thiolate or selenolate ligand character with negligible metal-chalcogen π-interaction.

Project description:Rhodium(I) and Iridium(I) borate complexes of the structure [Me2B(2-py)2]ML2 (L2 = (tBuNC)2, (CO)2, (C2H4)2, cod, dppe) were prepared and structurally characterized (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; dppe = 1,2-diphenylphosphinoethane). Each contains a boat-configured chelate ring that participates in a boat-to-boat ring flip. Computational evidence shows that the ring flip proceeds through a transition state that is near planarity about the chelate ring. We observe an empirical, quantitative correlation between the barrier of this ring flip and the π acceptor ability of the ancillary ligand groups on the metal. The ring flip barrier correlates weakly to the Tolman and Lever ligand parameterization schemes, apparently because these combine both σ and π effects while we propose that the ring flip barrier is dominated by π bonding. This observation is consistent with metal-ligand π interactions becoming temporarily available only in the near-planar transition state of the chelate ring flip and not the boat-configured ground state. Thus, this is a first-of-class observation of metal-ligand π bonding governing conformational dynamics.

Project description:Rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes, conveniently generated from 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles, undergo a facile, mild, and convergent formal 1,3-insertion into N-H and O-H bonds of primary and secondary amides, various alcohols, and carboxylic acids to afford a wide range of vicinally bisfunctionalized (Z)-olefins with perfect regio- and stereoselectivity. Utilizing the distinctive functionality installed through these reactions, a number of subsequent rearrangements and cyclizations expand the repertoire of valuable organic building blocks constructed by reactions of transition-metal carbene complexes, including α-allenyl ketones and amino-substituted heterocycles.

Project description:Rhodium-stabilized diaryl carbenes typically generated from diaryldiazomethanes have been generally classified as donor/donor carbenes. This combined computational and experimental study demonstrates that diarylcarbenes display reactivity characteristics that are more reminiscent of donor/acceptor carbenes. When the reactions are carried out with chiral dirhodium catalysts, Rh2(S-PTAD)4 and Rh2(S-NTTL)4, highly enantioselective and diastereoselective cyclopropanations can be achieved, forming 1,1,2-triarylcyclopropanes. The reason for this behavior is because the two rings are unable to align in the plane of the rhodium carbene at the same time. The aryl ring aligned in the plane of the carbene behaves as a donor group, whereas, the aryl ring aligned orthogonally behaves as an acceptor group.

Project description:A highly efficient and stereoselective arylation of in situ-generated azavinyl carbenes affording 2,2-diaryl enamines at ambient temperatures has been developed. These transition-metal carbenes are directly produced from readily available and stable 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles in the presence of a rhodium carboxylate catalyst. In several cases, the enamines generated in this reaction can be cyclized into substituted indoles employing copper catalysis.

Project description:Room for expansion: an efficient, regioselective, and convergent method for the ring expansion and rearrangement of 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles under rhodium(II)-catalyzed conditions is described. These denitrogenative reactions form substituted enaminone and olefin-based products. The enaminone products can be further functionalized to give various heterocycles and ketone derivatives, thus rendering the sulfonyl triazole traceless.

Project description:Rhodium(I) carbenes were generated from propargylic alcohol derivatives as the result of a dehydrative indole annulation. Depending on the choice of the electron-withdrawing group on the aniline nitrogen nucleophile, either a cyclopropanation product or dimerization product was obtained chemoselectively. Intramolecular hydroamidation occurred for the same type of propargylic alcohol derivatives when other transition-metal catalysts were employed.

Project description:A highly efficient enantioselective C-H insertion of azavinyl carbenes into unactivated alkanes has been developed. These transition metal carbenes are directly generated from readily available and stable 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles in the presence of chiral Rh(II) carboxylates and are used for C-H functionalization of alkanes to access a variety of β-chiral sulfonamides.

Project description:Highly stable iminophosphanes, obtained from alkylating nitriles and reaction of the resulting nitrilium ions with secondary phosphanes, were explored as tunable P-monodentate and 1,3-P,N bidentate ligands in rhodium complexes. X-ray crystal structures are reported for both κ1 and κ2 complexes with the counterion in one of them being an unusual anionic coordination polymer of silver triflate. The iminophosphane-based ruthenium(II)-catalyzed hydration of benzonitrile in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (180 °C, 3 h) and water (100 °C, 24 h) and under solvent free conditions (180 °C, 3 h) results in all cases in the selective formation of benzamide with yields of up to 96%, thereby outperforming by far the reactions in which the common 2-pyridyldiphenylphosphane is used as the 1,3-P,N ligand.
