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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

Tunable resistivity of correlated VO2(A) and VO2(B) via tungsten doping.

Project description:Applications of correlated vanadium dioxides VO2(A) and VO2(B) in electrical devices are limited due to the lack of effective methods for tuning their fundamental properties. We find that the resistivity of VO2(A) and VO2(B) is widely tunable by doping them with tungsten ions. When x < 0.1 in V1-xWxO2(A), the resistivity decreases drastically by four orders of magnitude with increasing x, while that of V1-xWxO2(B) shows the opposite behaviour. Using spectroscopic ellipsometry and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, we propose that correlation effects are modulated by either chemical-strain-induced redistribution of V-V distances or electron-doping-induced band filling in V1-xWxO2(A), while electron scattering induced by disorder plays a more dominant role in V1-xWxO2(B). The tunable resistivity makes correlated VO2(A) and VO2(B) appealing for next-generation electronic devices.

Penta-carbon-yl(imidazolidine-2-thione-?S)tungsten(0).

Project description:In the title complex, [W(C(3)H(6)N(2)S)(CO)(5)], the W atom displays an octa-hedral coordination with five CO mol-ecules and an imidazolidine-2-thione mol-ecule. The W(CO)(5) unit is coordinated by the cyclic thione ligand through a W-S dative bond. The W-S and C-S bond lengths are 2.599?(2) and 1.711?(9)?Å, respectively. This last distance is significantly longer than that of free cyclic thio-ureas. The geometry of the title compound suggests sp(3)-hybridization of the S atom caused by the greatly polarized linkage W-S-C bond angle, which is close to tetra-hedral [109.50?(3)°]. In the crystal packing, N-H?O and N-H?S hydrogen-bonding inter-actions stabilize the structure and build up chains parallel to [101].

Synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes via directed bridgehead functionalization.

Project description:Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are increasingly valued as intermediates in 'strain release' chemistry for the synthesis of substituted four membered rings and bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes, with applications including bioconjugation processes. Variation of the BCB bridgehead substituents can be challenging due to the inherent strain of the bicyclic scaffold, often necessitating linear syntheses of specific BCB targets. Here we report the first palladium catalyzed cross-coupling on pre-formed BCBs which enables a 'late stage' diversification of the bridgehead position, and the conversion of the resultant products into a range of useful small ring building blocks.

Bis[1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl-idene]dinitros-yl(tetra-hydro-borato-?H,H')tungsten(0).

Project description:In the title paramagnetic 19-electron neutral complex, [W(BH(4))(C(21)H(24)N(2))(2)(NO)(2)], the W(0) atom is coordinated by two 1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)imidazol-2-yl-idene (IMes) carbene ligands, two NO groups and two H atoms of an ?(2)-tetra-hydro-borate ligand. Depending on the number of coordination sites (n) assigned to the BH(4) (-) ligand, the coordination geometry of the W atom may either be described as approximately trigonal-bipyramidal (n = 1) or as very distorted octa-hedral with the bridging H atoms filling two coordination positions (n = 2). In the latter case, the coplanar NO groups and bridging H atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.032?Å) form one octa-hedral plane, with mutually trans-oriented carbene ligands. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected via C-H?O inter-actions.
