On the structural features of the chiral organometallic Lewis-acid catalyst “(dibornacyclopentadienyl)zirconiumtrichloride”
摘要:
2-Bornenyllithium (3) was prepared from camphor by a variant of the Shapiro reaction and then reacted with 0.5 molar equivalents of ethylformate to give the dibornenylcarbinol 4. Subsequent acid-catalyzed cyclization of 4 yielded ''dibornacyclopentadiene'' as a mixture of two diastereoisomers; their deprotonation with n-butyllithium produced a single ''dibornacyclopentadienyllithium'' reagent (6). Reaction of 6 with MCl4 (M = Zr, Hf, Ti) gave the chiral organometallic Lewis-acids ''(diborna-CP)MCl3''. ''(+)-(Dibornacyclopentadienyl)zirconiumtrichloride'' (7a) was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure of 7a provides a basis for discussing the stereochemical characteristics of the enantioselective arene hydroxyalkylation process catalyzed by the optically active organometallic Lewis-acid ''(dibornacyclopentadienyl)zirconiumtrichloride''.
