Intra-annular reactions of the (1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 system: synthesis and crystal structure of [2-(bromomagnesio)-1,3-xylylene]-18-crown-5, [2-(bromomercurio)-1,3-xylylene]-18-crown-5 and bis[(1,3-xylylene-18-crown-5)-2-yl]mercury
摘要:
The Grignard compound [2-(bromomagnesio)-1,3-xylylene]-18-crown-5 (4) was prepared from the aryllithium compound (2-lithio-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (9) and magnesium bromide. The crystal structure of 4 shows that it crystallizes without solvent and is coordinatively saturated (distorted octahedral) by complexation of the magnesium with four of the five crown ether oxygens.The 1:1 reaction of 9 with HgBr2 yielded the corresponding organomercury compound [2-(bromomercurio)-1,3-xylylene]-18-crown-5 (10), which crystallizes without solvent. Its crystal structure reveals that intramolecular Hg-O coordination occurs with two of the five oxygens, and only weak interaction with a third crown ether oxygen. Reaction of 10 with metallic magnesium lead to the symmetric compound bis[(1,3-xylylene-18-crown-5)-2-yl]mercury (11). The centrosymmetric crystal structure of 11 shows that the mercury is intramolecularly coordinated with only four of the ten oxygens; the mercury atom is completely shielded by the crown ether rings. This shielding is probably the reason for the failure to bring about reaction of 11 with magnesium to give the corresponding diarylmagnesium compound.The crown ether Grignard 4 was treated with deuterium oxide, chlorotrimethylstannane, iodine and benzophenone to give the products (2-D-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (14a), (2-trimethylstannyl-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5) (15), (2-iodo-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (16) and 2-(diphenylhydroxy)methyl-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (17) (the latter being converted into its methyl ether (2-(1,1-diphenyl-2-oxapropyl)-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (17a) for identification), respectively. The lithium compound 9 was treated with benzophenone, chlorotrimethylgermane, chlorodiphenyrphosphine and 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone to give intra-annularly substituted crown ether derivatives 17, (2-trimethylgermyl-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (18), (2-diphenylphosphinyl-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (19) (the latter undergoing slow oxidation to (2-oxodiphenylphosphinyl-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (20)) and (2-(4,4'-dimethoxy-diphenylhydroxymethyl)-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (21) (which was converted under acidic conditions to (2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)(4'oxo-2',5'-cyclohexylidene)methyl]-1,3-xylylene)-18-crown-5 (22)), respectively.
