Homogeneous Model Complexes for Supported Rhenia Metathesis Catalysts
摘要:
A series of rhenium trioxo complexes (L-ReO3) was synthesized, characterized, and demonstrated to be active in olefin metathesis. The relationship between perrhenate (ReO4-), perrhenyl (ReO3+), and metathesis-active rhenium complexes (L-ReO3) was elucidated. Their chemical behavior can be tuned through the Lewis acid-base interaction. DFT calculations were performed for the metathesis reaction of L-ReO3 with norbornene, which demonstrates that electron-withdrawing substituents or ligands are beneficial for olefin metathesis activity. Moreover, a rhenium-alkylidene complex was synthesized, which can be activated by B(C6F5)(3) to afford an active metathesis catalyst. This be regarded as a homogeneous model of the hypothetical species present in the heterogeneous catalytic systems. The findings from the present study are consistent with our previous gas-phase studies and constitute the elucidation of the working principles for the metathesis-active rhenium species on the surface.

The nickel-catalyzed addition of diorganozinc reagents to phthalimides proceeds with excellent selectivity to provide 3-substituted-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-one products. These 3-hydroxy--lactams are produced cleanly in high yield with numerous examples of imide substitution and a broad range of diorganozinc reagents that are prepared and utilized without purification.

A range of 3-substituted-gamma-hydroxylactams have been prepared via the uncatalyzed addition of organo-zinc nucleophiles to cyclic imides. This reactivity is primarily limited to imides containing heterocyclic N-substitution, but proceeds efficiently with a variety of diorganozinc reagents, including those prepared and utilized without purification, as well as organozinc halides. It is hypothesized that the presence of a Lewis basic directing group is required for optimum reactivity. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
