Thermodynamic, Kinetic, and Mechanistic Study of Oxygen Atom Transfer from Mesityl Nitrile Oxide to Phosphines and to a Terminal Metal Phosphido Complex
摘要:
The enthalpies of oxygen atom transfer (OAT) from mesityl nitrile oxide (MesCNO) to Me3P, Cy3P, Ph3P, and the complex (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoP (Ar = 3,5-C6H3Me2) have been measured by solution calorimetry yielding the following P-O bond dissociation enthalpy estimates in toluene solution (+/- 3 kcal mol(-1)): Me3PO [138.5], Cy3PO [137.6], Ph3PO [132.2], (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoPO [108.9]. The data for (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoPO yield an estimate of 60.2 kcal mol(-1) for dissociation of PO from (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoPO. The mechanism of OAT from MesCNO to R3P and (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoP has been investigated by UV-vis and FTIR kinetic studies as well as computationally. Reactivity of R3P and (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoP with MesCNO is proposed to occur by nucleophilic attack by the lone pair of electrons on the phosphine or phosphide to the electrophilic C atom of MesCNO forming an adduct rather than direct attack at the terminal O. This mechanism is supported by computational studies. In addition, reaction of the N-heterocyclic carbene SIPr (SIPr = 1,3-bis(diisopropyl)phenylimidazolin-2-ylidene) with MesCNO results in formation of a stable adduct in which the lone pair of the carbene attacks the C atom of MesCNO. The crystal structure of the blue SIPr center dot MesCNO adduct is reported, and resembles one of the computed structures for attack of the lone pair of electrons of Me3P on the C atom of MesCNO. Furthermore, this adduct in which the electrophilic C atom of MesCNO is blocked by coordination to the NHC does not undergo OAT with R3P. However, it does undergo rapid OAT with coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes such as (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)V since these proceed by attack of the unblocked terminal O site of the SIPr center dot MesCNO adduct rather than at the blocked C site. OAT from MesCNO to pyridine, tetrahydrothiophene, and (Ar[Bu-t]N)(3)MoN was found not to proceed in spite of thermochemical favorability.

Reaction of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with isocyanates yields stable zwitterionic imidates/amidates in toluene solution. These compounds were fully characterized and the crystal structures of several species were determined by X-ray crystallography. The thermochemistry of binding of these and related species was studied by solution calorimetry. Comparison is made of the enthalpies of binding of NHC to isocyanates (RNCO) and isomeric nitrile oxides (RCNO) as well as CO2. DFT calculations were performed to additionally assess the nature of bonding in these compounds.
