Rhenium-Catalyzed Formation of Indene Frameworks via C−H Bond Activation: [3+2] Annulation of Aromatic Aldimines and Acetylenes
摘要:
A rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO)3(thf)]2, catalyzes the reaction of an aromatic aldimine with an acetylene to give an indene derivative in a quantitative yield. The reaction proceeds via C-H bond activation, insertion of the acetylene, intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization, and reductive elimination. In contrast to ruthenium and rhodium catalysts, which are usually employed in this type of reaction, the rhenium catalyst promotes the intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization of the alkenylmetal species generated by insertion of the acetylene.

Insertion of Polar and Nonpolar Unsaturated Molecules into Carbon−Rhenium Bonds Generated by C−H Bond Activation: Synthesis of Phthalimidine and Indene Derivatives
A rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO)(3)(thf)](2), catalyzes the reaction of an aromatic aldimine with an isocyanate and an acetylene to give a phthalimidine and an indene derivative in a quantitative yield, respectively. The reactions proceed via C-H bond activation, insertion of the isocyanate or the acetylene, intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization to the aldimine of the generated amido- or alkenyl-rhenium
An efficient ruthenium catalyst system for the direct ortho CH borylation of aromatic imines is described. The reaction of tert-butyl-1-arylmethanimines with pinacolborane in the presence of Ru(cod)(cot), followed by hydrolysis, to afford the ortho-formyl-substituted arylboronates. The borylation was achieved with complete mono-selectivity.
