Synthesis of New Cationic Cp*Ir N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes and Their High Catalytic Activities in the Oppenauer-Type Oxidation of Primary and Secondary Alcohols
Several new cationic Cp*Ir N-heterocyclic complexes have been synthesized and their catalytic activities in the Oppenauer-type oxidation have been investigated in order to improve the catalytic activity of [Cp*IrCl(μ-Cl)]2. The reactions of [Cp*IrCl(μ-Cl)]2 (1) with N-heterocycliccarbene ligands afforded Cp*Ir(L)Cl2 (3a−d; L = N-heterocycliccarbene ligands). The cationic complexes [Cp*Ir(L)(MeCN)2]2+

1-adamantylazide (AdN3) to give [(iPrDipNacNac)Mg}2(μ-SN3Ad)] 7 and can form various simple donor adducts in solution, of which [(iPrDipNacNac)Mg(OAd)}2(μ-S)] 8a (OAd = 2-adamantanone) was structurally characterized. The nature of the ionic Mg–E–Mg unit is described by solution and solid-statestudies of the complexes and by DFT computational investigations.

A series of 1,3-disubstituted-2-imidazolium carboxylates, an adduct of CO2 and N-heterocyclic carbenes, were synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray, thermogravimetric, IR, and NMR analysis. The TGA analysis of the NHC-CO2's shows that as steric bulk on the N-substituent increases, the ability of the NHC-CO2 to decarboxylate increases. The comparison of NHC-CO2's with and without methyls at the 4,5-position indicate that extra electron density in the imidazolium ring enhances the stability of an NHC-CO2 thereby making it less prone to decarboxylation. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that the torsional angle of the carboxylate group and the C-CO2 bond length with respect to the imidazolium ring is dependent on the steric bulk of the N-substituent. Rotamers in the unit cell of a single crystal of I'BuPrCO2 (2f) indicate that the C-CO2 bond length increases as the N-substituents rotate toward the carboxylate moiety, which suggests that rotation of the N-substituents through the plane of the C-CO2 bond may be involved in the bond breaking event to release CO2.

An improved synthesis of the title compounds is reported. Reaction of the N,N-dialkylthioureas 1 with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone gives the imidazole-2(3H)-thiones 2 which on treatment with potassium in boiling tetrahydrofuran give the imidazol-2-ylidenes 3 in excellent yields.
