The transformations of a methylene-bridged bis-triazolium salt: a mesoionic carbene based metallocage and analogues of TCNE and NacNac.

ABSTRACT: Unusual and unexpected chemical transformations often provide access to completely new types of functional molecules. We report here the synthesis of a methylene-bridged bis-triazolium salt designed as a precursor for a new bis-mesoionic carbene (MIC) ligand. The direct metalation with silver oxide led to the isolation and crystallographic characterization of a cationic tetranuclear octacarbene-silver(i) complex. During metalation the formal bis-MIC precursor undergoes significant structural changes and chemical transformations. A combined synthetic, crystallographic and (spectro-)electrochemical approach is used to elucidate the mechanistic pathway: starting from the methylene-bridged bis-triazolium salt a single deprotonation leads to a NacNac analogue, which is followed by a redox-induced radical dimerization reaction, generating a new tetra-MIC ligand coordinated to silver(i) central atoms. Decomplexation led to the isolation of the corresponding tetratriazoliumethylene, a profoundly electron-poor alkene, which is an analogue of TCNE.

Palladium Mesoionic Carbene Pre-catalyst for General Cross-Coupling Transformations in Deep Eutectic Solvents.

Project description:A strong ?-donor mesoionic carbene ligand has been synthesized and applied to four different palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling transformations, proving the catalyst/medium compatibility and the increased activity of this system over previous reports in Deep Eutectic Solvent medium. Some cross-coupling processes could be carried out at room temperature and using aryl chlorides as starting materials. The possible implementation of multistep synthesis in eutectic mixtures has also been explored. The presence of palladium nanoparticles in the reaction media has been evaluated and correlated to the observed activity.

Cobaltocenylidene: A Mesoionic Metalloceno Carbene, Stabilized in a Gold(III) Complex.

Project description:Oxidative addition of cobaltoceniumdiazonium bis(hexafluoridophosphate) with (pseudo)halide aurates gave gold(III) complexes containing zwitterionic cobaltoceniumide as a ligand. Its selenium derivative, cobaltoceniumselenolate, was obtained by an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction of iodocobaltocenium iodide with Na2 Se. Spectroscopic and structural data in combination with DFT calculations showed that this cobaltocenylidene species is a mesoionic carbene quite different from common N-heterocyclic carbenes. Its ligand properties (TEP, singlet-triplet gap, nucleophilicity, ?-acidity, Brønsted basicity) are in part comparable to those of cyclic (amino)(alkyl/aryl)carbenes. Electrochemistry data showed that the mesoionic cobaltoceniumides are more electron-rich than their parent ferrocenes. The reversible reduction of the tricyanido gold complex appears 50?mV negative of the cobaltocenium/cobaltocene couple, whereas that of the selenide derivative is shifted cathodically by 550?mV.

Organocatalytic Synthesis of Methylene-Bridged N-Heterobiaryls.

Project description:A one-step synthesis of 1,1'- and 2,2'-methylene-bridged N-heterobiaryls directly from the corresponding N-heterocycles in a reaction with methylmagnesium chloride in the presence of catalytic amounts of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine under thermal and microwave conditions is reported. The split-and-merge methylenation of 2,2'-N-heterobiaryls and the direct ortho-alkylation of quinoline and isoquinoline with Grignard reagents have also been developed. Mechanistic studies identified several intermediates and provided insight into the formation and roles of magnesium hydride species in the process.

Copper(I) complexes of mesoionic carbene: structural characterization and catalytic hydrosilylation reactions.

Project description:Two series of different Cu(I)-complexes of "click" derived mesoionic carbenes are reported. Halide complexes of the type (MIC)CuI (with MIC = 1,4-(2,6-diisopropyl)-phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (for 1b), 1-benzyl-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (for 1c)) and cationic complexes of the general formula [Cu(MIC)2]X (with MIC =1,4-dimesityl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene, X = CuI2- (for 2á), 1,4-dimesityl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene, X = BF4- (for 2a), 1,4-(2,6-diisopropyl)phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene, X = BF4- (for 2b), 1-benzyl-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene, X = BF4- (for 2c)) have been prepared from CuI or [Cu(CH3CN)4](BF4) and the corresponding ligands, respectively. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. Complexes 2á and 1b were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural analysis revealed 2á to adopt a cationic form as [Cu(MIC)2](CuI2) and comparison of the NMR spectra of 2á and 2a confirmed this conformation in solution. In contrast, after crystallization complex 1b was found to adopt the desired neutral form. All complexes were tested for the reduction of cyclohexanone under hydrosilylation condition at elevated temperatures. These complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for this reaction. 2c was also found to catalyze this reaction at room temperature. Mechanistic studies have been carried out as well.

On methylene-bridged cysteine and lysine residues in proteins.

Project description:Cysteine residues ubiquitously stabilize tertiary and quaternary protein structure by formation of disulfide bridges. Here we investigate another linking interaction that involves sulfhydryl groups of cysteines, namely intra- and intermolecular methylene-bridges between cysteine and lysine residues. A number of crystal structures possessing such a linkage were identified in the Protein Data Bank. Inspection of the electron density maps and re-refinement of the nominated structures unequivocally confirmed the presence of Lys-CH2 -Cys bonds in several cases.

Triptycene-based Bis(benzimidazole) Carboxylate-Bridged Biomimetic Diiron(II) Complexes.

Project description:A triptycene-based bis(benzimidazole) ester ligand, L3, was designed to enhance the electron donating ability of the heterocyclic nitrogen atoms relative to those of the first generation bis(benzoxazole) analogs, L1 and L2. A convergent synthesis of L3 was designed and executed. Three-component titration experiments using UV-visible spectroscopy revealed that the desired diiron(II) complex could be obtained with a 1:2:1 ratio of L3:Fe(OTf)2(MeCN)2:external carboxylate reactants. X-ray crystallographic studies of two diiron complexes derived in this manner from L3 revealed their formulas to be [Fe2L3(?-OH)(?-O2CR)(OTf)2], where R = 2,6-bis(p-tolyl)benzoate (7) or triphenylacetate (8). The structures are similar to that of a diiron complex derived from L1, [Fe2L1(?-OH)(?-O2CArTol)(OTf)2] (9) with a notable difference being that, in 7 and 8, the geometry at iron more closely resembles square-pyramidal than trigonal-bipyramidal. Mössbauer spectroscopic analyses of 7 and 8 indicate the presence of high-spin diiron(II) cores. These results demonstrate the importance of substituting benzimidazole for benzoxazole for assembling biomimetic diiron complexes with syn disposition of two N-donor ligands, as found in O2-activating carboxylate-bridged diiron centers in biology.

Regioselective Synthesis of Chromones via Cyclocarbonylative Sonogashira Coupling Catalyzed by Highly Active Bridged-Bis(N-Heterocyclic Carbene)Palladium(II) Complexes.

Project description:The one-pot regioselective and catalytic synthesis of bioactive chromones and flavones was achieved via phosphine-free cyclocarbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of 2-iodophenols with aryl alkynes, alkyl alkynes, and dialkynes. The reactions are catalyzed by new dibromidobis(NHC)palladium(II) complexes. The new bridged N,N'-substituted benzimidazolium salts (L1, L2, and L3) and their palladium complexes C1, C2, and C3 were designed, prepared, and fully characterized using different physical and spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of complexes C1 and C3 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. They showed a distorted square planar geometry, where the Pd(II) ion is bonded to the carbon atoms of two cis NHC carbene ligands and two cis bromido anions. These complexes displayed a high catalytic activity in cyclocarbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions with low catalyst loadings. The regioselectivity of these reactions was controlled by using diethylamine as the base and DMF as the solvent.

Derivatives of the triaminoguanidinium ion, 5. Acylation of triaminoguanidines leading to symmetrical tris(acylamino)guanidines and mesoionic 1,2,4-triazolium-3-aminides.

Project description:Depending on the reaction conditions, N,N',N''-tris(benzylamino)guanidinium salts can react with carboxylic acid chlorides to form either symmetrical N,N',N''-tris(N-acyl-N-benzylamido)guanidines 6 or mesoionic 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium-3-hydrazinides 7. The latter were converted into 1,2,4-triazolium salts by protonation or methylation at the hydrazinide nitrogen atom. Neutral 1,2,4-triazoles 10 were obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of an N-benzyl derivative. Crystal structure analyses of a 4-benzylamino-1,2,4-triazolium-3-hydrazinide and of two derived 1,2,4-triazolium salts are presented.

Bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidenes) (i-bitz) as Stable 1,4-Bidentate Ligands Based on Mesoionic Carbenes (MICs).

Project description:Direct metalation of bis(1,2,3-triazolium) salts affords mononuclear rhodium(I) complexes, which feature a 1,4-bidentate bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) (i-bitz) ligand. The topology of the ligand is similar to 2,2'-bipyridines (bpy) and their congeners, as well as bis(1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidenes) (bitz). As the former, but in contrast to the latter, the free i-bitz can be isolated, which paves the way for various applications.
