A ?-diketiminate manganese catalyst for alkene hydrosilylation: substrate scope, silicone preparation, and mechanistic insight.

ABSTRACT: The dimeric ?-diketiminate manganese hydride compound, [(^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(?-H)]₂, was prepared by treating [(^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(?-Cl)]₂ with NaEt₃BH. This compound was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and found to feature high-spin Mn centres that exhibit strong magnetic coupling by EPR spectroscopy. Once characterized, [(^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(?-H)]₂ was found to mediate the hydrosilylation of a broad scope of alkenes at elevated temperature. Aliphatic alkenes were found to undergo anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation, while the hydrosilylation of styrenes using [(^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(?-H)]₂ afforded Markovnikov's product. Importantly, this catalyst has also been employed for the cross-linking of industrially-relevant silicones derived from vinyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) and 1,2,4-trivinylcyclohexane with catalyst loadings as low as 0.05 mol%. To gain a mechanistic understanding of [(^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(?-H)]₂-catalyzed olefin hydrosilylation, 4-tert-butylstyrene was added to [(^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(?-H)]₂ and conversion to the monomeric Mn alkyl complex, (^2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(CH(CH₃)(4- ^t BuPh)), was observed. Isolation of this secondary alkyl intermediate confirms that olefin insertion into the Mn-H bond dictates the observed regioselectivities. The importance of our mechanistic findings as they relate to recent advances in Mn hydrosilylation catalysis is described herein.

Project description:The dimeric ?-diketiminato magnesium hydride, [(BDI)MgH]2, reacts at 80 °C with the terminal alkenes, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 3-phenyl-1-propene and 3,3-dimethyl-butene to provide the respective n-hexyl, n-octyl, 3-phenylpropyl and 3,3-dimethyl-butyl magnesium organometallics. The facility for and the regiodiscrimination of these reactions are profoundly affected by the steric demands of the alkene reagent. Reactions with the phenyl-substituted alkenes, styrene and 1,1-diphenylethene, require a more elevated temperature of 100 °C with styrene providing a mixture of the 2-phenylethyl and 1-phenylethyl products over 7 days. Although the reaction with 1,1-diphenylethene yields the magnesium 1,1-diphenylethyl derivative as the sole reaction product, only 64% conversion was achieved over a 21 day timeframe. Reactions with the ?,?-dienes, 1,5-hexadiene and 1,7-octadiene, provided divergent results. The initial 5-alkenyl magnesium reaction product of the shorter chain diene undergoes 5-exo-trig cyclisation via intramolecular carbomagnesiation to provide a cyclopentylmethyl derivative, which was shown by X-ray diffraction analysis to exist as a three-coordinate monomer. In contrast, 1,7-octadiene provided a mixture of two compounds, a magnesium oct-7-en-1-yl derivative and a dimagnesium-octane-1,4-diide, as a result of single or two-fold activation of the terminal C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds. The magnesium hydride was unreactive towards internal alkenes apart from the strained bicycle, norbornene, allowing the characterisation of the resultant three-coordinate magnesium norbornyl derivative by X-ray diffraction analysis. Computational analysis of the reaction between [(BDI)MgH]2 and 1-hexene using density functional theory (DFT) indicated that the initial Mg-H/C[double bond, length as m-dash]C insertion process is rate determining and takes place at the intact magnesium hydride dimer. This exothermic reaction (?H = -14.1 kcal mol-1) traverses a barrier of 18.9 kcal mol-1 and results in the rupture of the dinuclear structure into magnesium alkyl and hydride species. Although the latter three-coordinate hydride derivative may be prone to redimerisation, it can also provide a further pathway to magnesium alkyl species through its direct reaction with a further equivalent of 1-hexene, which occurs via a lower barrier of 15.1 kcal mol-1. This Mg-H/C[double bond, length as m-dash]C insertion reactivity provides the basis for the catalytic hydrosilylation of terminal alkenes with PhSiH3, which proceeds with a preference for the formation of the anti-Markovnikov organosilane product. Further DFT calculations reveal that the catalytic reaction is predicated on a sequence of Mg-H/C[double bond, length as m-dash]C insertion and classical Si-H/Mg-C ?-bond metathesis reactions, the latter of which, with a barrier height of 24.9 kcal mol-1, is found to be rate determining.
