Ruthenium-Catalyzed Intermolecular Coupling Reactions of Arylamines with Ethylene and 1,3-Dienes: Mechanistic Insight on Hydroamination vs ortho-C−H Bond Activation
摘要:
The cationic ruthenium complex [(PCy3)(2)(CO)(CI)Ru=CHCH=C(CHC3)(2)]+BF4- was found to be an effective catalyst for the coupling reaction of aniline and ethylene to form a similar to 1:1 ratio of N-ethylaniline and 2-methylquinoline products. The analogous reaction with 1,3-dienes resulted in the preferential formation of Markovnikov addition products. The normal isotope effect of k(NH)/k(ND) = 2.2 (aniline and aniline-d(7) at 80 degrees C) and the Hammett p = -0.43 (correlation of para-substituted P-X-C6H4NH2) suggest an N-H bond activation rate-limiting step for the catalytic reaction.

Stereospecific addition to some alkenes of a singlet phenylnitreniumion, generated from phenylazide in the presence of trifluoroaceticacid, gives aziridinium ions; this addition is followed by ring-opening reactions of aziridinium ions.
Reaction of phenyl azide with alkenes in the presence of AlCl3 gives an aziridiniumâAlCl3 complex viaan azideâAlCl3 complex; this reaction is followed by ring-opening reactions of the aziridiniumâAlCl3 complex to give N-allylanilines and/or N-phenyl-β-chloroamines after work-up with aqueous Na2CO3, but the reaction with cis-cyclo-octene yields a novel aziridine, 9-phenyl-9-azabicyclo[6.1.0]nonane after the work-up.
