Towards the functionalization of the methine carbon of a sterically hindered tris(pyrazolyl)methane: is a radical pathway envisageable? Synthesis and structure of tetrakis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane
摘要:
Iodine oxidation, at -80 degrees C, of the carbanion in [{C-(pz(Me2))(3)}Li+(THF)] (1) (with pZ(Me2)=3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) yields the C-centred radical in [{C-center dot(pz(Me2))(3)}Li(THF)](+) (1(+)), which, upon warming to room temperature, produces the unprecedented tetrakis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane C(pz(Me2)), (3), the X-ray structure of which revealing intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions between each 5-Me group and an adjacent pyrazolyl ring. Oxidation of the radical by O-2 appears to lead to the novel ether (pz(Me2))(3)C-O-C(pz(Me2))(3) (2). (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
