Mechanistic Aspects of Molybdenum-Promoted Allylic Amination
摘要:
The mechanism of molybdenum-mediated allylic amination by phenylhydroxylamine has been probed through a variety of kinetics, trapping, and stoichiometric model reaction studies. Specifically, the amination of 2-methyl-2-hexene by (dipic)(HMPA)Mo(eta(2)-PhNO) (1a, dipic = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate; HMPA = hexamethylphosphoric triamide) is found to be first order in la and zeroth order in olefin and HMPA. Evidence for dissociation of nitrosobenzene from la is provided by trapping of the latter as a hetero-Diels-Alder adduct with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene and by exchange experiments of la with free aryl nitroso compounds. A competing pathway involving extrusion of aryl nitrene from la is also implicated by the production of carbazole from the thermolysis of (dipic)(HMPA)Mo(eta(2)-2-C6H5-C6H4NO) (5) The findings that (1) the ene reaction of nitrosobenzene with 2-methyl-2-hexene occurs readily (less than or equal to 70 degrees C) and regioselectively to produce allyl hydroxylamine 7 and (2) that Mo(IV) complexes (dedtc)(2)MoO (3b, dedtc = N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate) and (dipic)(HMPA)MoO (3a) readily deoxygenate arylhydroxylamines (including 7) support the involvement of these steps in the amination process. Control experiments and model reaction studies have identified some of the pathways for the formation of the byproducts, aniline and azoxybenzene. Together the above results indicate that the primary pathway for Mo-promoted olefin allylic amination involves: (1) reaction of LL'Mo(VI)O-2 with RNHOH to form a molybdooxaziridine 1 (and water); (2) dissociation of 1 to form RNO and LL'Mo(IV)O (3);(3) ene-reaction of RNO with the olefin to produce an N-allyl hydroxylamine; and (4) reduction of the allyl hydroxylamine by 3, yielding the allyl amine and regenerating LL'Mo(VI)O-2 (2).
