Effect of the Nature of the Substituent in N‐Alkylimidazole Ligands on the Outcome of Deprotonation: Ring Opening versus the Formation of N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes

Complexes [Re(CO)₃(N‐RIm)₃]OTf (N‐RIm=N‐alkylimidazole, OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate; 1 a – d ) have been straightforwardly synthesised from [Re(OTf)(CO)₅] and the appropriate N‐alkylimidazole. The reaction of compounds 1 a – d with the strong base KN(SiMe₃)₂ led to deprotonation of a central C? H group of an imidazole ligand, thus affording very highly reactive derivatives. The latter can evolve through two different pathways, depending on the nature of the substituents of the imidazole ligands. Compound 1 a contains three N‐MeIm ligands, and its product 2 a features a C‐bound imidazol‐2‐yl ligand. When 2 a is treated with HOTf or MeOTf, rhenium N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) 3 a or 4 a are afforded as a result of the protonation or methylation, respectively, of the non‐coordinated N atom. The reaction of 2 a with [AuCl(PPh₃)] led to the heterobimetallic compound 5 , in which the N‐heterocyclic ligand is once again N‐bound to the Re atom and C‐coordinated to the gold fragment. For compounds 1 b – d , with at least one N‐arylimidazole ligand, deprotonation led to an unprecedented reactivity pattern: the carbanion generated by the deprotonation of the C2? H group of an imidazole ligand attacks a central C? H group of a neighbouring N‐RIm ligand, thus affording the product of C? C coupling and ring‐opening of the imidazole moiety that has been attacked ( 2 c , d ). The new complexes featured an amido‐type N atom that can be protonated or methylated, thus obtaining compounds 3 c , d or 4 c , d , respectively. The latter reaction forces a change in the disposition of the olefinic unit generated by the ring‐opening of the N‐RIm ligand from a cisoid to a transoid geometry. Theoretical calculations help to rationalise the experimental observation of ring‐opening (when at least one of the substituents of the imidazole ligands is an aryl group) or tautomerisation of the N‐heterocyclic ligand to afford the imidazol‐2‐yl product.
