Reaction of ferrocenecarboxylic acid with N,N′-disubstituted carbodiimides: synthesis, spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analysis of N,N′-disubstituted N-ferrocenoylureas and identification of a one-pot coupling reagent for the formation of ferrocenecarboxamides in a non-aqueous solvent
摘要:
N,N'-dicyclohexyl-N-ferrocenoylurea 2, N,N-diisopropyl-N-ferrocenoylurea 3, N,N'-di-p-tolyl-N-ferrocenoylurea 4 and N,N'-ditert-butyl-N-ferrocenoylurea 5 were obtained by reaction of ferrocenecarboxylic acid I with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), N,N'-di-p-tolylcarbodiimide 10 and N,N-di-tert-butylcarbodiimide 11, respectively. Both N-tert-butyl-N'-ethyl-N-ferrocenoylurea 6 and N'-tert-butyl-N-ethyl-N-ferrocenoylurea 7 were obtained by reaction of 1 with N-tert-butyl-N'-ethylcarbodiimide 12. In all cases a small amount of ferrocenecarboxylic anhydride 8 was formed as a by-product. All compounds were characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, IR and MS. Single crystal X-ray structural analyses were made of 2, 3 and 4. From the consistent results, the reaction products of 1 with carbodiimides appear different from those proposed by some earlier workers. With N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimidehydrochloride 9 ferrocenoylurea, was not isolated, but the main product was rather 8. The suitability of 8 as acylation reagent was applied by using 9 to obtain N-(3-triethoxysilyl)-propylferrocenecarboxamide in a one-pot reaction from 1 and 3-(triethoxysilyi)-propylamine.
