A Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Enediyne Cycloaromatization
摘要:
The pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iron cation, generated from [(eta5-C5Me5)Fe(NCMe)3]PF6, triggers the room temperature cycloaromatization of acyclic and alicyclic enediynes, in the presence of either 1,4-cyclohexadiene or terpinene as the hydrogen-atom donor, to give metal-arene products in good to excellent yields. Photolysis of the metal-arene complexes liberates the arene from the metal in excellent yield. The first demonstration of a transition-metal-catalyzed cycloaromatization of conjugated enediynes has been achieved under photochemical conditions utilizing either [(eta5-C5Me5)Fe(NCMe)3]PF6 or [(eta5-C5Me5)Fe(eta6-1,2-(Prn)2C6H4)]PF6 as the catalyst precursor. The use of a metal and light has led to a convenient method for cycloaromatization of a trans-enediyne.

The tungsten hydride complex (eta(5)-C5H5)W(CO)(3)H (1-W) functions as a hydrogen atom donor in the [(eta(5)- C5Me5)Ru(NCMe)(3)]PF6-mediated Bergman cycloaromatization reaction of (Z)-dodeca-4,8-diyn-6-ene. The strong M-H bond in 1-W does not react with the enediyne substrate but does react with the diradical arising from cyclization, thereby demonstrating the advantages of strong metal-hydrogen bonds in the hydrogen atom transfer reactions of metal hydrides with substrates involving alkenes and alkynes.
