Allyl Calcium Compounds: Synthesis and Structure of Bis(η3-1-alkenyl)calcium
摘要:
Allyl calcium compounds of different chain lengths [Ca(R)(2)(THF)(x)] (x = 0.15-0.25 (1-Ca, 3-Ca), 0.25-0.75 (2-Ca)) were synthesized by salt metathesis of CaI2 with allylpotassium reagents [K(R)] (R = n-butenyl (1-K), isobutenyl (2-K), n-hexenyl (3-K)), prepared from the corresponding alpha-olefin and Schlosser base. The new calcium derivatives were obtained in nearly quantitative yields. 1-Ca and 2-Ca could be crystallized as triglyme adducts (triglyme: tris(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether) and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All potassium precursors [K(R)] were also isolated and characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The solution properties in THF are in agreement with an eta(3)-coordination mode of the allyl moiety for all isolated compounds. For the potassium reagents 1-K and 3-K, endo/exo equilibrium distributions of > 99:< 1 and 85:15 were observed, whereas for the calcium compounds 1-Ca and 3-Ca, distributions of 60:40 and 42:58 were found at 25 degrees C, respectively. This distribution pattern is discussed in the context of the behavior found for alkali metal analogues.

new protocol for the controlled reduction of nitriles to aldehydes was developed using a combination of sodium hydride and zinc chloride. The iminyl zinc intermediatesderivedfrom aromatic nitriles could be further functionalized with allylmetal nucleophiles to afford homoallylamines. As the method allows the reduction of various aliphatic and aromatic nitriles with a concise procedure under milder
