Complexes of Borane and N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: A New Class of Radical Hydrogen Atom Donor
摘要:
Calculations suggest that complexes of borane with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have B-H bond dissocation energies more then 20 Kcal/mol less than free borane, diborane, borane-THF, and related complexes. Values are in the range of popular radical hydrogen atom donors like tin hydrides (70-80 Kcal/mol). The resulting prediction that NHC borane complexes could be used as radical hydrogen atom donors was verified by radical deoxygenations of xanthates by using either AIBN or triethylborane as initiator.

Reduction of xanthates by N-heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC-boranes) has been suggested to occur by a radical chain mechanism involving heretofore unknown NHC-boryl radicals. In support of this suggestion, both the expected borane dithiocarbonate product and an unexpected borane xanthate product have now been isolated. These are the first NHC-boranes with boron-sulfur bonds, and their structures
N-杂环卡宾硼烷 (NHC-硼烷) 对黄原酸酯的还原被认为是通过涉及迄今为止未知的 NHC-硼基自由基的自由基链机制发生的。为支持这一建议,预期的硼烷二硫代碳酸酯产品和意外的硼烷黄原酸盐产品现已分离出来。这些是第一个具有硼硫键的 NHC-硼烷,它们的结构已通过光谱和晶体学手段得到保证。通过使用取代的环丁基羰基自由基的开环作为时钟反应来确定从 NHC 硼烷络合物转移 H 原子的第一速率常数。NHC-硼烷与仲烷基在环境温度下反应的速率常数为 4 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1),并且 Arrhenius 函数显示了双分子反应的典型熵项(log A 项)。NHC-硼烷复合物的 BH 键解离能估计为 88 kcal/mol。EPR 光谱已检测到这些转化中假定的 NHC-硼基自由基。光谱分析表明它是一种π自由基,类似于苄基。

Minimalist N-heterocycliccarbeneboranes 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylideneborane and 2,4-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylideneborane are readily available and have low molecular weights. They exhibit superior performance to first-generation NHC−boranes, providing improved yields in reductions of xanthates and related functional groups.

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene borane has been synthesized directly from two inexpensive commercial reagents: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and sodium borohydride. This NHC-borane reagent is a stable, free-flowing liquid that shows promise for use in radical, ionic, and metal-catalyzed reactions.
