基于Heck插入策略的钯催化烯烃与α-溴代烷基羰基化合物的烯烃氧化双官能化反应合成吲哚2-酮类化合物

正钯催化Heck偶联反应一般首先经过插入和加成步骤生成含C—Pd键中间体A,最后通过β-H消除来实现钯催化循环.如何利用中间体A中的C—Pd键引入新官能团是有机合成研究难点之一.目前有两种策略:(1)零价钯催化体系下,烯烃与卤代烃反应生成含C—Pd键中间体A,然后与亲核试剂(芳基硼酸,Cl-,CO,烯烃和炔烃等)实现烯烃双官能团化反应;(2)两价钯/氧化剂催化体系下,烯烃与有机金属试剂反应生成含C—Pd键中间体A,然后与亲核试

Murai反应中芳香酮邻位C–H键活化的区域选择性的理论研究

钌催化剂RuH_2(CO)(PPh_3)_3使Murai反应中芳香酮β位C–H键的催化活化反应具有极高的产率与选择性.本文采用密度泛函(DFT)方法研究了钌配合物催化芳香酮邻位C–H键活化的反应机理,剖析了芳香酮C–H键活化反应中产生区域选择性的原因.计算结果表明,C–H键的活化位垒为1.1 kcal/mol,从反应动态学角度很好地解释了该反应的区域选择性.通过路径a与路径b的比较,发现C=C双键更容易插入到Ru–H键而不是Ru–C键中.另外,无论C–C键形成(C–C活化过程)出现在路径a的烯烃插入基元反应,还是出现在路径b的还原消除基元反应,C–C键形成步骤都是整个催化反应的决速步骤.与路径a和b比较,反应路径c中C–C键形成过程的空间位阻较大,能垒也更高.     

取代基电性效应对碳硅还原消除区域选择性调控的理论研究

Detailed mechanisms on insertion of cis-2-butene into the Zr–H bond of Cp2ZrH2: A DFT study

The detailed mechanisms for reaction of Cp₂ZrH₂ with cis-2-butene were explored with the aid of density functional theory calculations. Two possible pathways for olefin insertion into the Zr–H of Cp₂ZrH₂ were proposed. One is the side-insertion and the other is the central-insertion. The central-insertion is theoretically predicted to be more favorable kinetically than the side-insertion. It is revealed that formation and cleavage of ZrH–C agostic interaction and β-hydrogen elimination are requisite steps in addition to the olefin insertions. The side-agostic and the central-agostic interactions are found to be involved in some intermediates. The former agostic is less stable than the latter, which plays a role in describing which path is preferred.     

Synthesis of aromatic acids via catalysed methyl formate-chloroarene reactions

Chlorobenzene and more generally, chloroarenes, can be converted into aromatic acids via catalytic reaction with aqueous methyl formate under biphasic conditions. The only efficient catalyst is [PdCl₂(PCy₃)₂] (Cy = cyclohexyl). [RU₃(CO)₁₂] and ammonium formate improve yield and selectivity. The mechanism should involve oxidative addition of the C---Cl bond to a zero-valent Pd species followed by CO insertion. The palladium catalyst may also directly activate methyl formate. The procedure is convenient (no solvent, no initial pressurization) and at least as efficient as previously described methods.     

MP2 study of substituent effects of 2-substituted alkyl ethyl methylcarbamates in homogeneous, unimolecular gas phase elimination reaction

Møller-Plesset MP2/6-31G method was used to examine the gas-phase elimination of 2-substituted alkyl ethyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates. The results of these calculations support a concerted non-synchronous six-membered cyclic transition state mechanism for carbamates containing a C_β–H bond at the alkyl side of the ester. These substrates produce the N,N-dimethylcarbamic acid and the corresponding olefin. The unstable intermediate, N,N-dimethylcarbamic acid, rapidly decomposes through a four-membered cyclic transition state to dimethylamine and CO₂ gas. Correlation of the logarithm of theoretical rate coefficients against original Taft's σ* values gave an approximate straight line (ρ*=−1.39, r=0.9558 at 360 °C). In addition to this fact, when log k_rel is plotted against the theoretical log k_rel for 2-substituted ethyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates a reasonable straight line (r=0.9919 at 360 °C) is obtained, suggesting similar mechanism.     

Five-coordinate platinum(IV) complex as a precursor to a novel Pt(II) olefin hydride complex for alkane activation

The five-coordinate platinum(IV) complex (nacnac)PtMe3 (nacnac- = [{(o-iPr2C6H3)NC(CH3)}2CH]-) thermally eliminates ethane and methane to produce a novel olefin(hydrido)platinum(II) complex, where the olefin is part of the nacnac-type ligand. This Pt(II) product activates hydrocarbons, including alkanes under mild conditions, as indicated by scrambling of hydrogen and deuterium between the hydrocarbon solvent and selected positions on the ligand of the platinum complex. A mechanism in which olefin insertion into the metal hydride bond opens a site to allow hydrocarbon coordination and C-H bond oxidative addition is proposed.

Argon matrix isolation study of the thermal and photochemical reaction of OVCl3 with (CH3)2CO

The matrix isolation technique has been combined with infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations to identify and characterize the initial and secondary products in the thermal and photochemical reactions of OVCl₃ with (CH₃)₂CO. Initial deposition into argon matrices at 14 K led to the formation, in high yield, of the 1:1 molecular complex. This species appears to be strongly bound, leading to large shifts to certain vibrational modes of both the acid and base subunits. Bands due to the complex were destroyed by near-UV irradiation (λ>300 nm), and led to the formation of intense product bands. In contrast to previous studies, HCl elimination from an initial complex was not observed. Many possible products were considered, including isomerization, decomposition, addition, and addition followed by fragmentation pathways. The products were identified by the use of isotopic labeling and comparison to theoretical calculations. The primary product was determined to be Cl₃V(CH₃)OC(O)CH₃, formed through rupture of a C–C bond in (CH₃)₂CO and addition of the two fragments to OVCl₃. Possible evidence for a second isomer, slightly higher in energy (Cl₃V(OCH₃)(C(O)CH₃)) was also found.     

Reaction of vinyl chloride with late transition metal olefin polymerization catalysts

The reactions of vinyl chloride (VC) with representative late metal, single-site olefin dimerization and polymerization catalysts have been investigated. VC coordinates more weakly than ethylene or propylene to the simple catalyst (Me(2)bipy)PdMe(+) (Me(2)bipy = 4,4'-Me(2)-2,2'-bipyridine). Insertion rates of (Me(2)bipy)Pd(Me)(olefin)(+) species vary in the order VC > ethylene > propylene. The VC complexes (Me(2)bipy)Pd(Me)(VC)(+) and (alpha-diimine)Pd(Me)(VC)(+) (alpha-diimine = (2,6-(i)Pr(2)[bond]C(6)H(3))N[double bond]CMeCMe[double bond]N(2,6-(i)Pr(2)[bond]C(6)H(3))) undergo net 1,2 VC insertion and beta-Cl elimination to yield Pd[bond]Cl species and propylene. Analogous chemistry occurs for (pyridine-bisimine)MCl(2)/MAO catalysts (M = Fe, Co; pyridine-bisimine = 2,6-[(2,6-(i)Pr(2)[bond]C(6)H(3))N[double bond]CMe](2)-pyridine) and for neutral (sal)Ni(Ph)PPh(3) and (P[bond]O)Ni(Ph)PPh(3) catalysts (sal = 2-[C(H)[double bond]N(2,6-(i)Pr(2)-C(6)H(3))]-6-Ph-phenoxide; P[bond]O = [Ph(2)PC(SO(3)Na)[double bond]C(p-tol)O]), although the initial metal alkyl VC adducts were not detected in these cases. These results show that the L(n)MCH(2)CHClR species formed by VC insertion into the active species of late metal olefin polymerization catalysts undergo rapid beta-Cl elimination which precludes VC polymerization. Termination of chain growth by beta-Cl elimination is the most significant obstacle to metal-catalyzed insertion polymerization of VC.     

Reaction of trans-[Pt(H)2(PCy3)2] with C60 reductive elimination of H2 and formation of [Pt(PCy3)2(η-C60)]

Reaction of trans-[Pt(H)₂(PCy₃)₂], 1, with [60]fullerene at room temperature affords [Pt(PCy₃)₂(η²-C₆₀)], 2, in nearly quantitative yield. The most probable reaction pattern is the insertion of a fullerene 6,6 junction onto a Pt-H bond yielding an η¹ alkyl derivative which, after hydrogen extrusion, gives 2. On the other hand, addition of 1 to different electron-deficient olefins, such as dimethyl maleate and fumarate, furnishes mixtures of both η¹ metal—alkyl and η² metal—olefin derivatives. If tetrachloroethylene is used as 2π component, trans-[PtCl(H)(PCy₃)₂] forms exclusively.     

Theoretical studies on the reaction mechanism of palladium(0)-catalyzed addition of thiocyanates to alkynes

The reaction mechanism of the Pd(0)-catalyzed alkyne cyanothiolation reaction is investigated by MP2, CCSD(T) and the density functional method B3LYP. The overall reaction mechanism is examined. The B3LYP results are consistent with the results of CCSD(T) and MP2 methods for the isomerization, acetylene insertion and reductive elimination steps, but not for the oxidative addition step. For the oxidative addition, the bisphosphine and monophosphine pathways are competitive in B3LYP, while the bisphosphine one is preferred for CCSD(T) and MP2 methods. The electronic mechanisms for the oxidative addition of thiocyanate HS-CN to Pd(PH(3))(2) and Pd(PH(3)) and for the acetylene insertion into Pd-S and Pd-CN are discussed in terms of the electron-donation and back-donation. The chemo-selectivity that acetylene inserts into the Pd-S bond rather than into the Pd-CN bond is due to the involvement of the S p orbital. It is the doubly occupied S p unhybridized orbital that donates an electron to the alkylene pi* anti-bonding orbital, which makes insertion into Pd-S bond more favorable than into the Pd-CN bond. During the insertion into the Pd-S bond, the S sp(2) hybrid orbital and unhybridized p orbital transform into each other, while the C sp hybrid orbital shifts its direction for insertion into Pd-CN bond. By using the monosubstituted acetylenes (CN, Me and NH(2)), the influence of substituents at acetylene on the chemo- and regio-selectivities is analyzed.
