Iron-Promoted Nucleophilic Additions to Diimine-Type Ligands: A Synthetic and Structural Study
2003
We report here three examples of the reactivity of protic nucleophiles with diimine-type ligands in the presence of Fe(II) salts. In the first case, the iron-promoted alcoholysis reaction of one nitrile group of the ligand 2,3-dicyano-5,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-pyrazine (L1) permitted the isolation of an stable E-imido-ester, [Fe(L1')(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) (1), which has been characterized by spectroscopic studies (IR, ES-MS, Mössbauer), elemental analysis, and crystallographically. Compound 1 consists of mononuclear octahedrally coordinated Fe(II) complexes where the Fe(II) ion is in its low-spin state. The iron-mediated nucleophilic attack of water to the asymmetric ligand 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrido[3…
Nucleophilic attack by 2-pyridylpalladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes on the organic chlorides ClCH2R (R COMe, CN, Ph, Cl)
1992
Abstract The 2-pyridyl complexes trans-[MCl(C5H4NC2)(PPh3)2] (M = Pd, 1a; M = Pt, 1b), [MCl(C5H4NC2)(dppe)] (M = Pd, 2a; M = Pt, 2b) and [M(dmtc)(C5H4NC2) (PPh3)] (M = Pd, 3a; M = Pt,3b) react with the chlorides ClCH2R(R COMe, CN, Ph) to give cationic products containing the 2-pyridylium ligands (1-CH2R)C5H4NC2. The rate of nucleophilic displacement of the chloride ion from ClCH2R depends on the central metal (Pt > Pd), on the coordination geometry (1 ~ 3) and on the substituent R (COMe > CN > Ph for the reactions with 3b). Like 1b and 2b, complex 3b also reacts with dichloromethane to give [Pt(dmtc){(1-CH2Cl)C5H4NC2}(PPh3)]+. The reaction of the binuclear compound [{PdCl(μ-C5H4NC2,…
Experimental and theoretical push-pull Chemo- and regioselectivity in 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions: the case of benzotriazepin-5-one with mesi…
2007
A novel heterocyclic compound 3-mesityl-5-methyl-4,5,11,11a-tetrahydro-6H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo [5,4-b][1,3,4]benzotriazepin-6-one 4 has been synthesised by a 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction of 1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5-one 1 with mesitylnitrile oxide 3. The reaction, beside its synthetic interest, has shown to be completely chemo- and regioselective. The structure of the compound was determined by X-ray crystallography and analysed by spectral methods (NMR and mass spectrometry). The molecular mechanism for the reaction has been studied using quantum mechanical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* theory level. Two mechanisms are possible for the formation of the cycloadduct 4. The first on…
Pt(II) nitrile complexes: New insights on old complexes from a combined experimental and theoretical study
2017
Abstract The spectroscopic characterization of cis - and trans -[PtCl 2 (NCR) 2 ] (R = CH 3 , Ph, CH 2 Ph) was reported in solid state and solution phase. Moreover, the X-ray structures of cis -[PtCl 2 (NCCH 3 ) 2 ], cis - and trans -[PtCl 2 (NCPh) 2 ] were redetermined at low temperature. FT-IR and NMR showed a blue-shift and a slight shielding of the νCN and δ ( 13 C CN ) values, respectively, in a counterintuitive way with respect to the well known improved reactivity towards nucleophiles of nitriles ligands coordinated to platinum(II), when compared to their free forms. These spectroscopic behaviors were also confirmed by theoretical experiments at DFT level. Moreover, DFT approach show…
Fluorine and Gold: A Fruitful Partnership
2016
Gold-catalyzed reactions have witnessed an exponential growth in the past decade. When the unique modes of activation exhibited by gold species meet species with either fluorinated building blocks or fluorinating reagents, new opportunities arise for the development of new methodologies in fluoroorganic chemistry. Indeed, gold and fluorine truly formed a very fruitful partnership, and different types of reactivity emerged from their combination. This review gives an overview of such endeavors. The special properties imparted by fluorine to organic molecules have been exploited in gold-catalyzed processes, allowing for the generation of unprecedented fluorinated chemical entities. Thus, the …
Understanding the role of the Lewis acid catalyst on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-benzylideneaniline N-oxide with acrolein: a DFT study
2007
Abstract The Lewis acid (LA) catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N -benzylideneaniline N -oxide with acrolein has been studied using DFT calculations. Coordination of AlCl 3 to the acrolein oxygen atom produces a drastic change in the mechanism along the more favorable meta reactive channel. The process is characterized by a strong nucleophile/electrophile interaction allowing the formation of a zwitterionic intermediate, a Michael-type addition. The subsequent ring closure constitutes the rate-determining step. The energies obtained with the inclusion of solvent effect by means of the polarizable continuum model are in good agreement with experimental findings. Analysis of the global an…
ChemInform Abstract: Applications of the Conceptual Density Functional Theory Indices to Organic Chemistry Reactivity
2016
Theoretical reactivity indices based on the conceptual Density Functional Theory (DFT) have become a powerful tool for the semiquantitative study of organic reactivity. A large number of reactivity indices have been proposed in the literature. Herein, global quantities like the electronic chemical potential μ, the electrophilicity ω and the nucleophilicity N indices, and local condensed indices like the electrophilic P k + and nucleophilic P k − Parr functions, as the most relevant indices for the study of organic reactivity, are discussed.
