Abstract: | In the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe(CO)(5), terminal acetylenes, isocyanates and CO undergo 2 + 2 + 1] cyclization to form substituted maleimides and hydantoins; when internal alkynes are used, exclusive maleimide formation is observed. While the maleimides can be obtained as the major products, in up to 90% yield, when the reaction is carried out in CO atmosphere, in absence of CO, the hydantoins are formed in up to 87% yield. Formation of maleimides has been shown to occur via the formation of a ferrole intermediate, whereas the hydantoins are proposed to form through successive insertion of isocyanate into the iron-acetylide bond. All compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods and molecular structures of some compounds were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. |
