On the generation and characterization of the spiro[2,5]octadienyl anion in the gas phase
摘要:
AbstractThree routes have been explored in both a high‐pressure chemical ionization (CI) source and a low‐pressure Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT‐ICR) cell to generate the spiro[2,5]octadienyl anion in the gas phase: (i) proton abstraction from spiro[2,5]octa‐4,6‐diene; (ii) expulsion of trimethysilyl fluoride by phenyl ring participation following fluoride anion attack upon the silicon centre of 2‐phenylethyl trimethylsilane; and (iii) collisionally induced dissociation (CID) of the carboxylate anion of 3‐phenylpropanoic acid via carbon dioxide loss. From comparison of the CID spectra of various reference [C8H9]− ions with those of the [C8H9]− ions which could be generated via the routes (i) and (iii) in the CI source it can be concluded that only the third route yields a [C8H9]−ion whose CID spectrum is not inconsistent with the one expected for the spiro[2,5]octadienyl anion. In the FT‐ICR cell [C8H9]− ions are generated along all three routes; their structures have been identified by specific ion‐molecule reactions and appear to be different. Route (i) yields an α‐methyl benzyl anion, probably due to isomerization within the ion‐molecule complex formed. An ortho‐ethylphenyl anion is formed along route (ii), presumably due to an intramolecular ortho proton abstraction in the generated trimethylsilyl fluoride solvated 2‐phenylethyl primary carbanion. The [C8H9]− ion formed along route (iii) shows reactions similar to those of the 1,1‐dimethylcyclohexadienyl anion which is structurally related to the spiro[2,5]octadienyl anion. Furthermore, the [C8H9]− ion generated via route (iii) reacts with hexafluorobenzene under expulsion of only one hydrogen fluoride molecule which contains exclusively one of the original phenyl ring hydrogen atoms. On the basis of all these observations it is therefore quite likely that the spiro[2,5]octadienyl anion is formed by collisionally induced decarboxylation of the 3‐phenylpropanoic acid carboxylate anion and can be a long‐lived and stable species in the gas phase.

An iron-catalyzedα,β-dehydrogenation of carbonylcompounds was developed. A broad spectrum of carbonyls or analogues, such as aldehyde, ketone, lactone, lactam, amine, and alcohol, could be converted to their α,β-unsaturated counterparts in a simple one-step reaction with high yields.

react with carbondisulfide in a modified LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer to form adducts, which when collisionally activated, decompose by processes which in some cases identify the structures of the original carbanions. For example (i) C6H5− + CS2→ C6H5CS2−→ C6H5S− + CS, occurs through a 3-membered ring ipso transition state, and (ii) the reaction between C6H5CH2− and CS2 gives an adduct which loses
their α,β-unsaturated counterparts is reported. The reaction does not require strong base/acid or sulfur/selenium and oxidant reagents and can be carried out at room temperature through a simple one-step operation. The protocol exhibits great scalability and functional group tolerance. The reaction mechanism has been investigated through deuterium labeling experiments, radical clock, radical capture

A copper-catalyzeddecarboxylative elimination reaction of (hetero)aromatic propionic acids to vinyl (hetero)arenes has been developed. This method furnishes alkenes from carboxylicacids without the need for stochiometric Pb or Ag additives or expensive or specialized photocatalysts. A series of mechanistic experiments indicate that the reaction proceeds via benzylic deprotonation and subsequent radical

A highly practical and general palladium-catalyzed methodology for the alpha,beta-dehydrogenation of esters and nitriles is repotted. Generation of a zinc enolate or (cyanoalkyl)zinc species followed by the addition of an allyl oxidant and a palladium catalyst results in synthetically useful yields of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, lactones, and nitriles. Preliminary mechanistic investigations are consistent with reversible beta-hydride elimination and turnover-limiting, propene-forming reductive elimination.
