Functionalization of N₂ via Formal 1,3-Haloboration of a Tungsten(0) ?-Dinitrogen Complex.

ABSTRACT: Boron tribromide and aryldihaloboranes were found to undergo 1,3-haloboration across one W-N?N moiety of a group 6 end-on dinitrogen complex (i.e. trans-[W(N₂ )₂ (dppe)₂ ]). The N-borylated products consist of a reduced diazenido unit sandwiched between a W^II center and a trivalent boron substituent (W-N=N-BXAr), and have all been fully characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both the terminal N atom and boron center in the W-N=N-BXAr unit can be further derivatized using electrophiles and nucleophiles/Lewis bases, respectively. This mild reduction and functionalization of a weakly activated N₂ ligand with boron halides is unprecedented, and hints at the possibility of generating value-added nitrogen compounds directly from molecular dinitrogen.

Boron tribromide and aryldihaloboranes were found to undergo 1,3-haloboration across one W-N≡N moiety of a group 6 end-on dinitrogen complex (i.e. trans-[W(N2 )2 (dppe)2 ]). The N-borylated products consist of a reduced diazenido unit sandwiched between a WII center and a trivalent boron substituent (W-N=N-BXAr), and have all been fully characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Electronic structure of iron dinitrogen complex [(TPB)FeN2]2-/1-/0: correlation to Mossbauer parameters.

Project description:Low-valent species of iron are key intermediates in many important biological processes such as the nitrogenase enzymatic catalytic reaction. These species play a major role in activating highly stable N2 molecules. Thus, there is a clear need to establish the factors which are responsible for the reactivity of the metal-dinitrogen moiety. In this regard, we have investigated the electronic structure of low-valent iron (2-/1-/0) in a [(TPB)FeN2]2-/1-/0 complex using density functional theory (DFT). The variation in the oxidation states of iron in the nitrogenase enzyme cycle is associated with the flexibility of Fe→B bonding. Therefore, the flexibility of Fe→B bonding acts as an electron source that sustains the formation of various oxidation states, which is necessary for the key species in dinitrogen activation. AIM calculations are also performed to understand the strength of Fe→B and Fe-N2 bonds. A detailed interpretation of the contributions to the isomer shift (IS) and quadrupole splitting (ΔE Q) are discussed. The major contribution to IS comes mainly from the 3s-contribution, which differs depending on the d orbital population due to different shielding. The valence shell contribution also comes from the 4s-orbital. The Fe-N2 bond distance has a great influence on the Mössbauer parameters, which are associated with the radial distribution, i.e. the shape of the 4s-orbital and the charge density at the nucleus. A linear relationship between IS with Fe-N2 and ΔE Q with Fe-N2 is observed.

Mutual functionalization of dinitrogen and methane mediated by heteronuclear metal cluster anions CoTaC2.

Project description:The direct coupling of dinitrogen (N2) and methane (CH4) to construct the N-C bond is a fascinating but challenging approach for the energy-saving synthesis of N-containing organic compounds. Herein we identified a likely reaction pathway for N-C coupling from N2 and CH4 mediated by heteronuclear metal cluster anions CoTaC2 -, which starts with the dissociative adsorption of N2 on CoTaC2 - to generate a Ta δ+-Nt δ- (terminal-nitrogen) Lewis acid-base pair (LABP), followed by the further activation of CH4 by CoTaC2N2 - to construct the N-C bond. The N[triple bond, length as m-dash]N cleavage by CoTaC2 - affording two N atoms with strong charge buffering ability plays a key part, which facilitates the H3C-H cleavage via the LABP mechanism and the N-C formation via a CH3 migration mechanism. A novel Nt triggering strategy to couple N2 and CH4 molecules using metal clusters was accordingly proposed, which provides a new idea for the direct synthesis of N-containing compounds.

Silver-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Formal Carbene Insertion into Unstrained C-C σ-Bonds of 1,3-Dicarbonyls.

Project description:A regio- and stereoselective silver-catalyzed formal carbene insertion into 1,3-dicarbonyls has been developed, using N-nosylhydrazones as diazo surrogates. Two new C-C bonds are constructed at the carbenic carbon center through the selective cleavage of the C-C(=O) σ-bond of acyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls, enabling the preparation of various synthetically useful polysubstituted γ-diketones, γ-ketoesters, and γ-ketoamides in high yields. The in situ formation of a donor-acceptor cyclopropane, via reaction of the enolate of the 1,3-dicarbonyl with an electrophilic silver carbenoid, is proposed as a key process in the catalytic cycle.

Formal Asymmetric Hydrobromination of Styrenes via Copper-Catalyzed 1,3-Halogen Migration.

Project description:An enantioselective Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-halogen migration reaction accomplishes a formal hydrobromination by transferring a bromine activating group from a sp2 carbon to a benzylic carbon in good er and with concomitant borylation of the Ar-Br bond. Computational modelling aids in understanding the reaction outcome and suggests future directions to improve the formal asymmetric hydrobromination. The benzyl bromide can be displaced with a variety of nucleophiles to produce a wide array of functionalized products.

Selectivity of tungsten mediated dinitrogen splitting vs. proton reduction.

Project description:Mo complexes are currently the most active catalysts for nitrogen fixation under ambient conditions. In comparison, tungsten platforms are scarcely examined. For active catalysts, the control of N2 vs. proton reduction selectivities remains a difficult task. We here present N2 splitting using a tungsten pincer platform, which has been proposed as the key reaction for catalytic nitrogen fixation. Starting from [WCl3(PNP)] (PNP = N(CH2CH2PtBu2)2), the activation of N2 enabled the isolation of the dinitrogen bridged redox series [(N2){WCl(PNP)}2]0/+/2+. Protonation of the neutral complex results either in the formation of a nitride [W(N)Cl(HPNP)]+ or H2 evolution and oxidation of the W2N2 core, respectively, depending on the acid and reaction conditions. Examination of the nitrogen splitting vs. proton reduction selectivity emphasizes the role of hydrogen bonding of the conjugate base with the protonated intermediates and provides guidelines for nitrogen fixation.

Effects of N2 Binding Mode on Iron-Based Functionalization of Dinitrogen to Form an Iron(III) Hydrazido Complex.

Project description:Distinguishing the reactivity differences between N2 complexes having different binding modes is crucial for the design of effective N2-functionalizing reactions. Here, we compare the reactions of a K-bridged, dinuclear FeNNFe complex with a monomeric Fe(N2) complex where the bimetallic core is broken up by the addition of chelating agents. The new anionic iron(0) dinitrogen complex has enhanced electron density at the distal N atoms of coordinated N2, and though the N2 is not as weakened in this monomeric compound, it is much more reactive toward silylation by (CH3)3SiI (TMSI). Double silylation of N2 gives a three-coordinate iron(III) hydrazido(2-) complex, which is finely balanced between coexisting S = 1/2 and S = 3/2 states that are characterized by crystallography, spectroscopy, and computations. These results give insight into the interdependence between binding modes, alkali dependence, reactivity, and magnetic properties within an iron system that functionalizes N2.

Hydrogen Bonding to a Dinitrogen Complex at Room Temperature: Impacts on N2 Activation.

Project description:We report an experimental and computational analysis of the effects of hydrogen bonding to a metal dinitrogen complex. A series of H-bond donors over a wide p Ka range (Δ 20) interact with the nitrogen unit of a ReI-(N2) complex at room temperature. Analysis by 15N NMR, IR spectroscopy, association equilibria, and DFT studies indicates that the H-bonding interaction polarizes and weakens the N-N bond. These results provide insight into the role of the secondary sphere residues in nitrogenase enzymes.

(Benzene-carbothio-amide-?S)-penta-carbonyl-tungsten(0).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [W(C(7)H(7)NS)(CO)(5)], comprises two independent mol-ecules. In each, the W atom is coordinated by five CO groups and the S atom of the benzencarbothioamide ligand in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal packing can be described as undulating layers of W(CO)(5) and benzene-carbothio-amide parallel to (001). In the crystal, components are linked via inter-molecular N-H?O and C-H?O hydrogen bonds to form a dimeric chains along the [010] direction. Intra-molecular N-H?C inter-actions are also observed.

Dealkenylative Alkenylation: Formal σ-Bond Metathesis of Olefins.

Project description:The dealkenylative alkenylation of alkene C(sp3 )-C(sp2 ) bonds has been an unexplored area for C-C bond formation. Herein 64 examples of β-alkylated styrene derivatives, synthesized through the reactions of readily accessible feedstock olefins with β-nitrostyrenes by ozone/FeII -mediated radical substitutions, are reported. These reactions proceed with good efficiencies and high stereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions and tolerate an array of functional groups. Also demonstrated is the applicability of the strategy through several synthetic transformations of the products, as well as the syntheses of the natural product iso-moracin and the drug (E)-metanicotine.
