Hydrazine Capture and N-N Bond Cleavage at Iron Enabled by Flexible Appended Lewis Acids.

ABSTRACT: Incorporation of two 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl substituents within the secondary coordination sphere of a pincer-based Fe(II) complex provides Lewis acidic sites capable of binding 1 or 2 equiv of N2H4. Reduction of the 1:1 Fe:N2H4 species affords a rare Fe(NH2)2 complex in which the amido ligands are stabilized through interactions with the appended boranes. The NH2 units can be released as NH3 upon protonation and exchanged with exogenous N2H4.

Requirements for Lewis Acid-Mediated Capture and N-N Bond Cleavage of Hydrazine at Iron.

Project description:An iron complex bearing a pyridine(dicarbene) pincer was designed to probe the requirements of Lewis acid-enabled N2H4 capture and subsequent N-N bond cleavage. Appended boron Lewis acids were installed by two methods to circumvent the incompatibilities associated with Lewis acid/base quenching of free carbenes and boranes. N2H4 capture by borane Lewis acids is dependent on both the Lewis acidity and the steric profile about boron. A substitutionally inert primary coordination sphere at iron prevents an Fe-N2H4 interaction as well as N-N bond homolysis upon reduction.

High-Valent Manganese-Oxo Valence Tautomers and the Influence of Lewis/Bronsted Acids on C-H Bond Cleavage.

Project description:The addition of Lewis or Brönsted acids (LA = Zn(OTf)2, B(C6F5)3, HBArF, TFA) to the high-valent manganese-oxo complex MnV(O)(TBP8Cz) results in the stabilization of a valence tautomer MnIV(O-LA)(TBP8Cz•+). The ZnII and B(C6F5)3 complexes were characterized by manganese K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The position of the edge energies and the intensities of the pre-edge (1s to 3d) peaks confirm that the Mn ion is in the +4 oxidation state. Fitting of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) region reveals 4 N/O ligands at Mn-Nave = 1.89 Å and a fifth N/O ligand at 1.61 Å, corresponding to the terminal oxo ligand. This Mn-O bond length is elongated compared to the MnV(O) starting material (Mn-O = 1.55 Å). The reactivity of MnIV(O-LA)(TBP8Cz•+) toward C-H substrates was examined, and it was found that H• abstraction from C-H bonds occurs in a 1:1 stoichiometry, giving a MnIV complex and the dehydrogenated organic product. The rates of C-H cleavage are accelerated for the MnIV(O-LA)(TBP8Cz•+) valence tautomer as compared to the MnV(O) valence tautomer when LA = ZnII, B(C6F5)3, and HBArF, whereas for LA = TFA, the C-H cleavage rate is slightly slower than when compared to MnV(O). A large, nonclassical kinetic isotope effect of kH/kD = 25-27 was observed for LA = B(C6F5)3 and HBArF, indicating that H-atom transfer (HAT) is the rate-limiting step in the C-H cleavage reaction and implicating a potential tunneling mechanism for HAT. The reactivity of MnIV(O-LA)(TBP8Cz•+) toward C-H bonds depends on the strength of the Lewis acid. The HAT reactivity is compared with the analogous corrole complex MnIV(O-H)(tpfc•+) recently reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 14481-14487).

Heterolytic Si-H Bond Cleavage at a Molybdenum-Oxido-Based Lewis Pair.

Project description:The reaction of a molybdenum(VI) oxido imido complex with the strong Lewis acid B(C6 F5 )3 gave access to the Lewis adduct [Mo{OB(C6 F5 )3 }(NtBu)L2 ] featuring reversible B-O bonding in solution. The resulting frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-like reactivity is reflected by the compound's ability to heterolytically cleave Si-H bonds, leading to a clean formation of the novel cationic MoVI species 3 a (R=Et) and 3 b (R=Ph) of the general formula [Mo(OSiR3 )(NtBu)L2 ][HB(C6 F5 )3 ]. These compounds possess properties highly unusual for molybdenum d0 species such as an intensive, charge-transfer-based color as well as a reversible redox couple at very low potentials, both dependent on the silane used. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of 2 and 4 b, a derivative of 3 b featuring the [FB(C6 F5 )3 ]- anion, picture the stepwise elongation of the Mo=O bond, leading to a large increase in the electrophilicity of the metal center. The reaction of 3 a and 3 b with benzaldehyde allowed for the regeneration of compound 2 by hydrosilylation of the benzaldehyde. NMR spectroscopy suggested an unusual mechanism for the transformation, involving a substrate insertion in the B-H bond of the borohydride anion.

Nucleophilic Dearomatization of N-Heteroaromatics Enabled by Lewis Acids and Copper Catalysis.

Project description:Dearomative functionalization of heteroaromatics, a readily available chemical feedstock, is one of the most straightforward approaches for the synthesis of three-dimensional, chiral heterocyclic systems, important synthetic building blocks for both synthetic chemistry and drug discovery. Despite significant efforts, direct nucleophilic additions to heteroaromatics have remained challenging because of the low reactivity of aromatic substrates associated with the loss of aromaticity, as well the regio- and stereoselectivities of the reaction. Here we present a catalytic system that leads to unprecedented, high-yielding dearomative C-4 functionalization of quinolines with organometallics with nearly absolute regio- and stereoselectivities and with a catalyst turnover number (TON) as high as 1000. The synergistic action of the chiral copper catalyst, Lewis acid, and Grignard reagents allows us to overcome the energetic barrier of the dearomatization process and leads to chiral products with selectivities reaching 99% in most cases. Molecular modeling provides important insights into the speciation and the origin of the regio- and enantioselectivity of the catalytic process. The results reveal that the role of the Lewis acid is not only to activate the substrate toward a potential nucleophilic addition but also to subtly control the regiochemistry by preventing the C-2 addition from happening.

Direct conversion of carboxylic acids to free thiols via radical relay acridine photocatalysis enabled by N-O bond cleavage.

Project description:Carboxylic acids and thiols are basic chemical compounds with diverse utility and widespread reactivity. However, the direct conversion of unprotected acids to thiols is hampered due to a fundamental problem - free thiols are incompatible with the alkyl radicals formed on decarboxylation of carboxylic acids. Herein, we describe a concept for the direct photocatalytic thiolation of unprotected acids allowing unprotected thiols and their derivatives to be obtained. The method is based on the application of a thionocarbonate reagent featuring the N-O bond. The reagent serves both for the rapid trapping of alkyl radicals and for the facile regeneration of the acridine-type photocatalyst.

C(alkyl)-C(vinyl) bond cleavage enabled by Retro-Pallada-Diels-Alder reaction.

Project description:Activation and cleavage of carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds is a fundamental transformation in organic chemistry while inert C-C bonds cleavage remains a long-standing challenge. Retro-Diels-Alder (retro-DA) reaction is a well-known and important tool for C-C bonds cleavage but less been explored in methodology by contrast to other strategies. Herein, we report a selective C(alkyl)-C(vinyl) bond cleavage strategy realized through the transient directing group mediated retro-Diels-Alder reaction of a six-membered palladacycle, which is obtained from an in situ generated hydrazone and palladium hydride species. This unprecedented strategy exhibits good tolerances and thus offers new opportunities for late-stage modifications of complex molecules. DFT calculations revealed that an intriguing retro-Pd(IV)-Diels-Alder process is possibly involved in the catalytic cycle, thus bridging both Retro-Diels-Alder reaction and C-C bond cleavage. We anticipate that this strategy should prove instrumental for potential applications to achieve the modification of functional organic skeletons in synthetic chemistry and other fields involving in molecular editing.

Facile and dynamic cleavage of every iron-sulfide bond in cuboidal iron-sulfur clusters.

Project description:Nature employs weak-field metalloclusters to support a wide range of biological processes. The most ubiquitous metalloclusters are the cuboidal Fe-S clusters, which are comprised of Fe sites with locally high-spin electronic configurations. Such configurations enhance rates of ligand exchange and imbue the clusters with a degree of structural plasticity that is increasingly thought to be functionally relevant. Here, we examine this phenomenon using isotope tracing experiments. Specifically, we demonstrate that synthetic [Fe4S4] and [MoFe3S4] clusters exchange their Fe atoms with Fe2+ ions dissolved in solution, a process that involves the reversible cleavage and reformation of every Fe-S bond in the cluster core. This exchange is facile-in most cases occurring at room temperature on the timescale of minutes-and documented over a range of cluster core oxidation states and terminal ligation patterns. In addition to suggesting a highly dynamic picture of cluster structure, these results provide a method for isotopically labeling pre-formed clusters with spin-active nuclei, such as 57Fe. Such a protocol is demonstrated for the radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine enzyme, RlmN.

Molecular fusion of surfactant and Lewis-acid properties for attacking dirt by catalytic bond cleavage.

Project description:The capability of ordinary surfactants in solubilizing hydrophobic compounds can come to a limit, if the extension of a contaminant is too large. An attractive goal is the development of surfactants which can actively reduce the size of dirt. Because strong Lewis acids are known to catalyze both bond formation and cleavage, an integration into the surfactant's molecular framework is tempting. End-group functionalized hepta-dentate ligands, which coordinate to metal ions preventing deactivation by hydrolysis over a broad range of pH values while maintaining strong Lewis-acidity, are herein presented. After proof of amphiphilicity and surfactant characteristics, catalytic properties are investigated for different reactions including the cleavage of proteins. The compounds perform better than benchmark catalysts concerning the attack of unreactive amide bonds. A study with two Sc3+ species as the active site, one non-amphiphilic, the other one being surface-active, underlines the positive effect of surfactant properties for boosting catalytic efficiency.

Borane B-C Bond Cleavage by a Low-Coordinate Iron Hydride Complex and N-N Bond Cleavage by the Hydridoborate Product.

Project description:The iron(II) hydride dimers [L(R)Fe(?-H)(2)FeL(R)] (L(Me) = 2,4-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino) pent-3-yl; L(tBu) = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)hept-4-yl) abstract hydrocarbyl groups from BR'(3) (R' = Et, Ph) to give L(R)FeR' and L(R)Fe(?-H)(2)BR'(2). Mechanistic studies with R = R' = Me are consistent with a process in which the hyride dimer opens one Fe-H bond, and subsequent B-H bond formation is concerted with dissociation of an Fe-H unit. Cleavage of boron-carbon bonds is likely to proceed at least in part from transient quaternary borate anions. In a separate bond-breaking reaction, L(Me)Fe(?-H)(2)BEt(2) reacts with N(2)H(4) to eject H(2) from the bridging hydrides and cleave the N-N bond in the diaminoborate complex L(Me)Fe(?-NH(2))(2)BEt(2). These novel bond-breaking reactions are facilitated by the low coordination number at the iron(II) center.
