Tuning the Electronic Properties of Carbenes: A Systematic Comparison of Neighboring Amino versus Amido Groups
摘要:
A related series of six-membered carbenes featuring adjoining amino and/or amido groups (i.e, a diaminocarbene, a monoamido-aminocarbene (3), and a a diamidocarbene (6)) were systematically compared using crystallographic, spectroscopic, electro-chemical, and density functional theory methods. The solid-state structure of 3 was found to exhibit inequivalent nitrogen carbon bond lengths (C-carbene-N-amide= 1.395(4) angstrom vs C-carbene-N-amine = 1.323(4) angstrom). Moreover, the C-carbene-N-amide distance was longer than that measured in the solid-state structure of 6 (1.371(3) angstrom), while the C-carbene-N-amine distance was similar to that measured in the solid-state structure of a cyclic alkyl-aminocarbene (1.315(3) angstrom). Iridium complexes of the aforementioned carbenes were also evaluated, and the collected data revealed that the introduction of carbonyl groups to the carbene-containing scaffold had a nearly linear, additive effect on the E-1/2 potential of the carbene-ligated iridium I/II redox couple (+165 mV per carbonyl added) as well as the Tolman electronic parameter value of the corresponding carbene-Ir(CO)(2)Cl complex (ca. 7 cm(-1) per carbonyl added). Beyond attenuated ligand donicity, the introduction of carbonyl groups was found to broaden the chemical reactivity: unlike prototypical N-heterocyclic carbenes, including diaminocarbenes, the monoamido-aminocarbene was found to couple to isonitriles to form the respective ketenimines.

Aminal radicals were generated by reduction of the corresponding amidine or amidinium ion. The intermediate radicals participate in C–C bond-forming reactions to produce fully substituted aminal stereocenters. No toxic additives or reagents are required. More than 30 substrate combinations are reported, and chemical yields are as high as 99%.

Aminal radicals were generated and used in synthetic reactions for the first time. Aminal radicals are formed from aminals by radical translocation using AIBN and a stoichiometric hydrogen atom donor, or by SmI2 reduction of N-acyl amidines or amidinium ions in the presence of a proton source. Aminal radicals were found to participate in inter- and intramolecular C–C bondformingreactions with electron

Pyrazol-4-ylidenes, a type of mesoionic carbenes, also named cyclic-bentallenes (CBA), can be more basic than Verkade proazaphosphatrane and even Schwesinger phosphazene P4(tBu). With these results it is demonstrated that carbenes should not be overlooked as neutral purely organic superbases.

Determining the π-Acceptor Properties of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes by Measuring the<sup>77</sup>Se NMR Chemical Shifts of Their Selenium Adducts
assessment of the π-acceptor strength of N-heterocyclic carbenes is presented. The 77Se chemicalshifts of the easily available selenium carbeneadducts 1·Se–7·Se correlate with the π-acceptor character of the respective carbenes. The observed δ(77Se) values cover a range of almost 800 ppm, with increasing π-acidity leading to a downfield shift of the signal.
