Indenyl and fluorenyl transition metal complexes : VII. Innersphere “ricochet” rearrangements on alkylation of η5-indenyl- and η5-fluorenyltricarbonylchromate anions

Alkylation of K[η⁵-C₉H₇Cr(CO)₃] (Xa) with CH₃I and C₆H₅CH₂Br leads to σ-alkyl derivatives of η⁵-C₉H₇Cr(CO)₃Alk type. These complexes undergo innersphere “ricochet” rearrangement, with the alkyl group being shifted to the endo position at C(1) and the chromium tricarbonyl group shifted to the benzene nucleus. The structure of the product of such a rearrangement in the case of η⁵-C₉H₇(CO)₃CrCH₂C₆H₅, i.e. (1-benzyl-3a,4-7,7a-η⁶-indene)chromium tricarbonyl (XVIII), is established by a low temperature X-ray study, indicating an endo position for the benzyl radical.On alkylation of equilibrium tautomeric mixtures of η⁵- and η⁶-fluorenylchromium tricarbonyl anions XIa ? XIb under similar conditions, the η⁵-anion (Xa) yields a σ-alkyl derivative, which is rearranged to (9-endo-alkyl-1-4,4a,9a-η⁶-fluorene)chromium tricarbonyl. Electrophilic attack of the η⁶-anion (XIb) takes place on the outer side at C(9) and leads to a corresponding 9-exo-alkyl derivative.     

New polydentate macrocyclic ligands of hybrid amine-imine and amide-imine types as artificial anion receptors. Synthesis and study of anion binding

Three new macrocyclic Schiff bases containing an amine or amide structural fragment along with imine groups were synthesized by condensation of 2,6-bis(2-aminophenyliminomethyl)pyridine (1) and N, N’-bis(2-aminophenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (2) with 2,5-diformylpyrrole (₃) and 2,2-bis(5-formylpyrrol-2-yl)propane (4). The reaction of compound 1 with 3 proceeds abnormally and is accompanied by redox disproportionation of compound 1 in the first step. The structure of the macrocyclic product of this reaction was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Spectrophotometric titration showed that hybrid macrocycle 10, which was prepared by condensation of compound 2 with 4, possesses the properties of an anion receptor and selectively binds hydrosulfate and dihydrophosphate anions in the presence of bromide and nitrate anions. The structures of 10 and its adduct with the hydrosulfate anion were calculated by density functional theory.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

DFT study of the mechanism of alkane hydrogenolysis by transition metal hydrides. 1. Interaction of silica-supported zirconium hydrides with methane

Model reactions of silica-supported zirconium hydrides (Si—O—)₃ZrH and (Si—O—)₂ZrH₂ with methane, resulting in cleavage of a C—H bond in the methane molecule and the formation of (Si—O—)₃ZrCH₃ and (Si—O—)₂Zr(H)CH₃ as products were studied using the DFT approach with the PBE density functional. The processes proceed as bimolecular reactions without preliminary formation of agostic complexes. According to calculations, zirconium dihydrides (Si—O—)₂ZrH₂ are more reactive toward the methane C—H bonds than zirconium monohydrides (Si—O—)₃ZrH. The calculated activation energies of the reactions with participation of zirconium dihydrides (Si—O—)₂ZrH₂ are in better agreement with the known experimental data for the Yermakov—Basset catalytic system.     

Tricarbonylchromium complexes with phenalene. Synthesis, structure, and thermal rearrangements

The reaction of phenalene with Cr(CO)₃Py₃/BF₃·OEt₂ afforded a mixture of two isomeric complexes, tricarbonyl(6a,7-9,9a,9b-·⁶-phenalene)chromium (1) and tricarbonyl(3a,6a,9b,4-6-·⁶-phenalene)chromium (2). Deprotonation of the mixture of compounds1 and2 followed by treatment with MeI, BuⁿI, or D₂O gave complexesexo-1-R-1 (3–5: R=Me (3), Buⁿ (4), or D (5)). The molecular geometry of complex3 was established by X-ray structural analysis. Heating of complex5 in toluene or C₆F₆ at 90–110 °C resulted in redistribution of deuterium among positionsexo-1,endo-1, and 3 in the resulting complexes of types1 and2 via sigmatropic shifts of the H _exo and H _endo atoms in the nonaromatic ring as well asvia inter-ring migrations of the tricarbonylchromium group. In the case of3, the methyl label is distributed among positionsexo-1 and3 to form isomeric complexes with similar structures (exo-1-Me-2 (6), 3-Me-2 (7), and 3-Me-1 (8), respectively)via processes analogous to those observed in the case of isomerization of compound5 (except for migration of the H _exo atom). The mechanisms of these rearrangements are discussed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1863–1880, October, 1997.     

Binuclear and polynuclear transition metal complexes with macrocyclic ligands. 2. New macrocyclic Schiff"s base in the reaction of 4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenol with 1,2-diaminobenzene. Synthesis and structural,spectroscopic, and theoretical study

Condensation of 4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenol with 1,2-diaminobenzene in ethanol is accompanied by partial reduction of the azomethine double bonds to form symmetrical macrocyclic Schiff"s base containing the alternating >C=N and >CH—NH fragments. In solution, this compound exists as the only isomer in which two endocyclic hydrogen atoms are bound to the oxygen atoms of the phenol groups and two other endocyclic H atoms are attached to the nitrogen atoms of the CH₂—NH fragments. All endocyclic protons are involved in hydrogen bonding and undergo rapid exchange with each other at room temperature. In the crystal, the planar macrocyclic molecules are arranged in closely packed stacks. The steric hindrances resulting from overlapping of the bulky tert-butyl groups are eliminated through rotation of the molecules with respect to each other in the adjacent layers. Study of the potential energy surface for the Schiff"s base under consideration by the DFT method demonstrated that the structure corresponding to the global minimum is similar to that found in solution. However, the isolated molecule is nonplanar, its macrocycle adopting a ladder conformation. The local minimum on the potential energy surface whose energy is 2.6 kcal mol^–1 higher than that of the global minimum corresponds to the zwitterionic structure in which all four endocyclic hydrogen atoms are attached to the nitrogen atoms and the macrocycle adopts a tub conformation. Flattening of the ring is considered as a consequence of stacking interactions between the molecules in the crystal.     

Binuclear and polynuclear transition metal complexes with macrocyclic ligands 1. Synthesis and the structure of an antiferromagnetic binuclear nickel complex prepared by the reaction of o-phenylenediamine with pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehyde and nickel pivalate

The reaction of pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehyde (1) with o-phenylenediamine (2) in anhydrous EtOH afforded a [1+1]-condensation product, viz., Schiff"s base. The structure of the latter was established by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction of this product or a mixture of 1 and 2 with Ni₉(_n-OOCBu^t)₁₂(HOOCBu^t)₄(₄-OH)₃(₃-OH)₃ in MeCN in the presence of AcOH gave rise to an antiferromagnetic binuclear complex. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the macrocycle in the latter complex is a [2+2]-condensation product of compounds 1 and 2, _eff ranging from 0.569 to 2.614 B (2—301 K), –2J = 360 cm^–1. The Ni₂(OAc)₂ fragment is located in the central cavity of the macrocycle. The structures of the condensation products are discussed based on the results of DFT quantum-chemical calculations.     

Quantum-chemical study of 4- and 8-element-substituted tetrahydro-sym-indacenes

Energies, geometries, and electronic structures of structural isomers of 4,4,8,8-tetramethyl-4,8-disila-3a,4,4a,8-tetrahydro-sym-indacene as well as some transition states for the intramolecular metallotropic rearrangements of these compounds were calculated using the semiempirical quantum-chemical INDO and MNDO methods. The applicability of the MINDO/3, INDO, and MNDO methods for describing ^l-silyl derivatives of cyclopentadienes was tested on model compounds R₃SiC₅H₅, where R is Me or H.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

σ,π-conjugation and 199Hg shielding constants in benzyl derivatives of mercury

The ¹⁹⁹Hg chemical shifts in a number of benzylmercuric chlorides containing methyl substituents in various positions of the benzene nucleus are studied by the heteronuclear ¹H-{¹⁹⁹Hg} double resonance technique. Meta- and para-methyl substituents are shown to have no pronounced action on the shielding whereas ortho-methyl groups each shift the signal by 30 ppm downfield. The observed effect is due to an increase in the population of conformers with the CHg bond lying out of the aromatic cycle plane. The departure from planarity favours conjugation between the electrons of the CHg bond and the π-electronic system of the ring. The J(¹H¹⁹⁹Hg) and J(¹³C¹⁹⁹Hg) coupling constant values obtained in this work confirm the latter conclusion.     

Quantitative <Superscript>2</Superscript>H NMR spectroscopy

The selectivity of deuterium distribution between the nonequivalent positions in 3-carene (1), 4-α-acetyl-2-carene (2), and 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-carene (3) has been measured by ²H-{¹H} NMR spectroscopy at the natural abundance of deuterium. These “H/D-isotope portraits” were shown to be typical of terpenes and terpenoids produced in plants via the biosynthetic DXP pathway. The mechanism of acylation of 1 was studied by the density functional theory method (PBE functional, TZ2p basis set). The six-membered ring in compound 1 is planar. However, the endo attack of electrophiles on this ring is more favorable both kinetically and thermodynamically. It was shown both experimentally and theoretically that the elimination of a hydrogen atom in the second reaction step proceeds stereoselectively at the C(2) atom from the anti position with respect to the three-membered ring and occurs with pronounced nucleophilic assistance from the carbonyl group.
