摘要:
Illumination with visible light of [CpFe(CO)(2)I] (Cp = eta(5)-C5H5) with NH2SO2C6H4-p-R (R = Me, NO2, NH2) in benzene in the presence of diisopropylamine gives [CpFe(CO)(2)NHSO2C6H4-p-R] in 62-91% yield. The primary amino group in [CpFe(CO)(2)NHSO2C6H4-p-NH2] was acylated by treatment of this complex with neat carboxylic acid anhydrides (acetic, propionic and isobutyric) or with carboxylic acid (acetic, iodoacetic, beta-maleimidopropionic) and 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethyl-carbodiimide (EDC) in aqueous solutions at pH 5-6 at room temperature. The latter reaction shows that [CpFe(CO)(2)NHSO2C6H4-p-NH2] can be used as an IR-detectable metallo-carbonyl reagent labelling the COOH groups in proteins and as a parent compound for a new family of reagents labelling the thiol function.
