Group III alkyl complexessupported by a ferrocenediamideligand (1,1'-fc(NSi(t)BuMe(2))(2)) have been found to be reactive toward aromatic N-heterocycles such as 1-methylimidazole and pyridines. These reactions were investigated experimentally and computationally. An initial C-H activation event is followed by a coupling reaction to form biheterocyclic complexes, in which one of the rings is dearomatized
已发现由二茂铁二酰胺配体 (1,1'-fc(NSi(t)BuMe(2))(2)) 支持的第 III 组烷基配合物对芳香族 N-杂环(如 1-甲基咪唑和吡啶)具有反应性。通过实验和计算研究了这些反应。最初的 CH 活化事件之后是偶联反应以形成双杂环复合物,其中一个环被脱芳构化。在1-甲基咪唑的情况下,双杂环化合物不能被分离并进一步导致咪唑开环产物;在吡啶的情况下,它转化为具有双键扩展共轭的异构体。根据实验和计算结果提出了两种反应的机理。

Group 3 eta(2)-N,C-pyridyl complexes supported by a ferrocene-diamide ligand have been known to mediate the coupling of eta(2)-N,C-pyridyl and coordinated-pyridine ligands with a concomitant dearomatization of the pyridine ligand. Examples reported previously by us were limited to a few cases. In order to investigate the scope of the Coupling reaction, various eta(2)-N,C-pyridyl scandium complexes were isolated and characterized. Their reactivity toward other aromatic N-heterocycles is presented along with the characterization Of file Subsequent reaction products. The coupling reaction is favored by ortho substitution, the presence of fused aromatic rings on the pyridine ligand, and chelating substrates. In one instance, the product of the coupling reaction between a scandium eta(2)-N, C-pyridyl complex and 7,8-benzoquinoline could not be isolated because a subsequent isomerization reaction was favored. The coupling reaction is not restricted to eta(2)-N,C-pyridyl fragments, and it proceeds also from CH, groups bound to the metal center and connected to a pyridine ligand. The reaction between eta(2)-N,C-imidazolyl scandium complexes and 2,2'-bipyridine is also discussed.
