摘要:
环金属化配合物 [MCl(C⁁N)(环)](HC⁁N = 2-苯基吡唑,M = Ir,Rh 环 = Cp*;M = Ru,环 = 对伞花烃)很容易与 RCCR 进行插入反应( R = CO2Me, Ph) 得到单插入产物,铑配合物也与 PhCCH 区域特异性反应,得到类似的产物。环金属化亚胺配合物 [MCl(C^N)Cp*] (HC⁁N = PhCHNR, R = Ph, CH2CH2OMe, Me; M = Ir, Rh) 与 PhCCPh 的反应产物取决于取代基 R;当 R = CH2CH2OMe 时,观察到单插入,然而,对于 R = Me,初始插入产物不稳定,经历还原消除并损失有机片段,而对于 R = Ph,没有分离出含金属产物。与PhCCH一起,环金属化亚胺络合物可以得到单插入或双插入产物。讨论了串联 C-H 活化、炔插入机制催化合成碳环和杂环的影响。

The transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond addition to nitroalkenes has been developed. Very broad nitroalkene scope was observed for this Rh(III)-catalyzed method, including for aliphatic, aromatic, and β,β-disubstituted derivatives. Additionally, various directing groups and both aromatic and alkenyl C–H bonds were effective in this transformation. Representative nitroalkane products were converted

A range of novel heterocyclic cations have been synthesized by the Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative C-N and C-C coupling of 1-phenylpyrazole, 2-phenylpyridine, and 2-vinyl-pyridine with alkynes (4-octyne and diphenylacetylene). The reactions proceed via initial C-H activation, alkyne insertion, and reductive coupling, and all three of these steps are sensitive to the substrates involved and the reaction conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that C-H activation can proceed via a heteroatom-directed process that involves displacement of acetate by the neutral substrate to form charged intermediates. This step (which leads to cationic C-N coupled products) is therefore favored by more polar solvents. An alternative non-directed C-H activation is also possible that does not involve acetate displacement and so becomes favored in low polarity solvents, leading to C-C coupled products. Alkyne insertion is generally more favorable for diphenylacetylene over 4-octyne, but the reverse is true of the reductive coupling step. The diphenylacetylene moiety can also stabilize unsaturated seven-membered rhodacycle intermediates through extra interaction with one of the Ph substituents. With 1-phenylpyrazole this effect is sufficient to suppress the final C-N reductive coupling. A comparison of a series of seven-membered rhodacycles indicates the barrier to coupling is highly sensitive to the two groups involved and follows the trend C-N+ > C-N > C-C (i.e., involving the formation of cationic C-N, neutral C-N, and neutral C-C coupled products, respectively).
