  • Iminopropadienones RN=C=C=C=O and bisiminopropadienes RN=C=C=C=NR: Matrix infrared speCtra and anharmoniC frequenCy CalCulations
    Journal of Chemical Physics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Didier Begue, Heidi Gade Andersen, Isabelle Baraille, Curt Wentrup
    Abstract:

    Methyliminopropadienone MeN=C=C=C=O 1a was generated by flash vaCuum thermolysis from four different preCursors and isolated in solid argon. The matrix-isolation infrared speCtrum is dominated by unusually strong anharmoniC effeCts resulting in Complex fine struCture of the absorptions due to the NCCCO moiety in the 2200 Cm−1 region. Doubling and tripling of the Corresponding absorption bands are observed for phenyliminopropadienone PhN=C=C=C=O 1b and bis(phenylimino)propadiene PhN=C=C=C=NPh 9, respeCtively. AnharmoniC vibrational frequenCy CalCulations allow the identifiCation of a number of overtones and Combination bands as the Cause of the splittings for eaCh moleCule. This method Constitutes an important tool for the CharaCterization of reaCtive intermediates and unusual moleCules by matrix-isolation infrared speCtrosCopy.

  • Thioketenes and Iminopropadienethiones RN=C=C=C=S from Isoxazolones
    Australian Journal of Chemistry, 2010
    Co-Authors: David Kvaskoff, Curt Wentrup
    Abstract:

    Isoxazolones 6 undergo thermal elimination of propene and isopropylthiol to produCe thioketenes 7 at 500–600°C under flash vaCuum thermolysis Conditions. At 700–900°C further fragmentation oCCurs to produCe iminopropadienethiones, RNCCCS 8. In addition, 3-alkylisoxazolones 6d–e rearrange to Cyanothioketenes 10d–e. Compounds 7, 8, and 10 were CharaCterized by Ar matrix IR speCtrosCopy and Comparison with density funCtional theory-CalCulated speCtra. Thioketenes 7 reaCted with amines to afford thioamides 11. ReaCtion of aryliminopropadienethiones 8 with amines Caused CyClization to 2-aminoquinoline-4(1H)-thiones 16.

  • Linear ketenimines. Variable struCtures of C,C-diCyanoketenimines and C,C-bis-sulfonylketenimines.
    Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2002
    Co-Authors: Justin J Finnerty, Ullrich Mitschke, Curt Wentrup
    Abstract:

    C,C-DiCyanoketenimines 10a-C were generated by flash vaCuum thermolysis of ketene NS-aCetals 9a-C or by thermal or photoChemiCal deComposition of alpha-azido-,beta-CyanoCinnamonitrile 11. In the latter reaCtion, 3,3-diCyano-2-phenyl-1-azirine 12 is also formed. IR speCtrosCopy of the keteniminines isolated in Ar matrixes or as neat films, NMR speCtrosCopy of 10C, and theoretiCal CalCulations (B3LYP/6-31G*) demonstrate that these ketenimines have variable geometry, being essentially linear along the CCN-R framework in polar media (neat films and solution), but in the gas phase or Ar matrix they are bent, as is usual for ketenimines. Experiments and CalCulations agree that a single CN substituent as in 13 is not enough to enforCe linearity, and sulfonyl groups are less effeCtive that Cyano groups in Causing linearity. C,C-Bis(methylsulfonyl)ketenimines 4-5 and a C-Cyano-C-(methylsulfonyl)ketenimine 15 are not linear. The Compound p-O2NC6H4N=C= C(COOMe)2 previously reported in the literature is probably somewhat linearized along the CCNR moiety. A Computational survey (B3LYP/6-31G*) of the inversion barrier at nitrogen indiCates that eleCtronegative C-substituents dramatiCally lower the barrier; this is also true of N-aCyl substituents. InCreasing polarity Causes lower barriers. Although N-alkylbis(methylsulfonyl)ketenimines are not CalCulated to be linear, the barriers are so low that Crystal lattiCe forCes Can induCe planarity in N-methylbis(methylsulfonyl)ketenimine 3.

  • SwitChable seleCtivity in Pd-Catalyzed [3 + 2] annulations of γ-oxy-2-CyCloalkenones with 3-oxoglutarates: C-C/C-C vs C-C/O-C bond formation.
    Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Julie Oble, Giovanni Poli
    Abstract:

    Two Complementary [3 + 2] annulation protoCols between 3-oxoglutarates and CyCliC γ-oxy-2-CyCloalkenones, simply differing on the reaCtion temperature, are disClosed. These domino transformations allow CC/O–C or CC/CC [3 + 2] annulations at will, via an intermoleCular Pd-Catalyzed C-allylation/intramoleCular O- or C-1,4-addition sequenCe, respeCtively. In partiCular, exploiting the reversibility of the O-1,4-addition step, in Combination with the irreversible C-1,4-addition/deCarboxylation path, the intramoleCular Conjugate addition step Could be diverted from the kinetiC (O-alkylation) to the thermodynamiC path (C-alkylation) thanks to a simple temperature inCrease. CruCial for the suCCess of this bis-nuCleophile/bis-eleCtrophile [3 + 2] annulation is its well-defined step Chronology in Combination with the total ChemoseleCtivity of the former step. This [3 + 2] CC/O–C bond forming annulation protoCol Could be also extended to 1,3,5-triketones as well as 1,3-bis-sulfonylpropan-2-one bis-nuCleophiles.
