  • probing the carbon hydrogen activation of alkanes following photolysis of tp rh cnr carbodiimide a computational and time resolved infrared spectroscopic study
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jia Guan, Michael B Hall, Alisdair Wriglesworth, Xuezhong Sun, Snežana D Zaric, Meagan E. Evans, William D. Jones, Michael Towrie, Michael W George
    Abstract:

    Carbon–hydrogen Bond activation of alkanes by Tp′Rh(CNR) (Tp′ = Tp = trispyrazolylborate or Tp* = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) were followed by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR) in the υ(CNR) and υ(B−H) spectral regions on Tp*Rh(CNCH2CMe3), and their reaction mechanisms were modeled by density functional theory (DFT) on TpRh(CNMe). The major intermediate species were: κ3-η1-alkane complex (1); κ2-η2-alkane complex (2); and κ3-alkyl hydride (3). Calculations predict that the barrier between 1 and 2 arises from a triplet-singlet crossing and intermediate 2 proceeds over the rate-determining C–H activation barrier to give the final product 3. The activation lifetimes measured for the Tp*Rh(CNR) and Tp*Rh(CO) fragments with n-heptane and four cycloalkanes (C5H10, C6H12, C7H14, and C8H16) increase with alkanes size and show a dramatic increase between C6H12 and C7H14. A similar step-like behavior was observed previously with CpRh(CO) and Cp*Rh(CO) fragments and is attributed to the wider differe...

  • Probing the Carbon–Hydrogen Activation of Alkanes Following Photolysis of Tp′Rh(CNR)(carbodiimide): A Computational and Time-Resolved Infrared Spectroscopic Study

    Abstract:

    Carbon–hydrogen Bond activation of alkanes by Tp′Rh­(CNR) (Tp′ = Tp = trispyrazolylborate or Tp* = tris­(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)­borate) were followed by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR) in the υ­(CNR) and υ­(B−H) spectral regions on Tp*Rh­(CNCH2CMe3), and their reaction mechanisms were modeled by density functional theory (DFT) on TpRh­(CNMe). The major intermediate species were: κ3-η1-alkane complex (1); κ2-η2-alkane complex (2); and κ3-alkyl hydride (3). Calculations predict that the barrier between 1 and 2 arises from a triplet-singlet crossing and intermediate 2 proceeds over the rate-determining C–H activation barrier to give the final product 3. The activation lifetimes measured for the Tp*Rh­(CNR) and Tp*Rh­(CO) fragments with n-heptane and four cycloalkanes (C5H10, C6H12, C7H14, and C8H16) increase with alkanes size and show a dramatic increase between C6H12 and C7H14. A similar step-like behavior was observed previously with CpRh­(CO) and Cp*Rh­(CO) fragments and is attributed to the wider difference in C–H Bonds that appear at C7H14. However, Tp′Rh­(CNR) and Tp′Rh­(CO) fragments have much longer absolute lifetimes compared to those of CpRh­(CO) and Cp*Rh­(CO) fragments, because the reduced electron density in dechelated κ2-η2-alkane Tp′ complexes stabilizes the d8 Rh­(I) in a square-planar geometry and weakens the metal′s ability for oxidative addition of the C–H Bond. Further, the Tp′Rh­(CNR) fragment has significantly slower rates of C–H activation in comparison to the Tp′Rh­(CO) fragment for the larger cycloalkanes, because the steric bulk of the neopentyl isocyanide ligand hinders the rechelation in κ2-Tp′Rh­(CNR)­(cycloalkane) species and results in the C–H activation without the assistance of the rechelation

  • carbon hydrogen Bond activation in bis 2 6 dimethylbenzenethiolato tris trimethylphosphine ruthenium ii ligand dances and solvent transformations
    Organometallics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Amanda L Pitts, Michael B Hall
    Abstract:

    Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to predict the mechanism for the intramolecular carbon–hydrogen Bond activation of an ortho methyl group on the RuII(SC6H3Me2-2,6-κ1S)2(PMe3)3 complex to form the cycloruthenated product cis-Ru[SC6H3-(2-CH2)(6-Me)-κ2S2C](PMe3)4 and HSC6H3Me2-2,6 in the presence of PMe3. The DFT calculations also show how changing the solvent from benzene to methanol prevents C–H activation and results in the unactivated six-coordinate product Ru(SC6H3Me2-2,6-κ1S)2(PMe3)4 in 100% yield. The reactant was determined to have two plausible σ-Bond metathesis pathways in which to react, one for each of the two thiolate ligands. The steps in both mechanisms were influenced by the electronic interactions between the sulfur lone pairs and the Ru 4d orbitals and the steric repulsion between the methyl groups on the five ligands in such a way that the methyl group in the SAr (Ar = SC6H3Me2-2,6) ligand closest to the Ru pirouettes away to activate the other methyl group. The equato...

  • carbon hydrogen activation of cycloalkanes by cyclopentadienylcarbonylrhodium a lifetime enigma
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Amanda L Pitts, Alisdair Wriglesworth, Xuezhong Sun, James A Calladine, Snežana D Zaric, Michael W George, Michael B Hall
    Abstract:

    Carbon–hydrogen Bond activation reactions of four cycloalkanes (C5H10, C6H12, C7H14, and C8H16) by the Cp′Rh(CO) fragments (Cp′ = η5-C5H5 (Cp) or η5-C5Me5 (Cp*)) were modeled theoretically by combining density functional and coupled cluster theories, and their reaction rates were measured by fast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The reaction has two steps, starting with the formation of a σ-complex intermediate, followed by oxidative addition of the C–H Bond by the rhodium. A range of σ-complex stabilities among the electronically unique C–H Bonds in a cycloalkane were calculated and are related to the individual strengths of the C–H Bond’s interactions with the Rh fragment and the steric repulsion that is incurred upon forming the specific σ-complex. The unexpectedly large increase in the lifetimes of the σ-complexes from cyclohexane to cycloheptane was predicted to be due to the large range of stabilities of the different σ-complexes found for cycloheptane. The reaction lifetimes were simulated with...

  • Mild Radical Oxidative sp3-Carbon–Hydrogen Functionalization: Innovative Construction of Isoxazoline and Dibenz[b,f]oxepine/azepine Derivatives
    Synlett, 2016
    Co-Authors: Andrea Gini, Olga García Mancheño
    Abstract:

    Direct carbon–hydrogen Bond functionalization has emerged as a powerful synthetic method for the straightforward and modular functionalization of organic molecules. In this account, we described our latest contributions in the area of oxidative sp3-carbon–hydrogen Bond functionalization using mild radical oxidants for the construction of structurally important heterocycles. We have developed two new methodologies in which a new class of substrate and an uncommon nucleophilic reagent have been introduced to the existing palette of reaction partners for oxidative carbon–hydrogen functionalization. To achieve these results, the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO) radical and a benzoyl peroxide/copper(I) system have been employed as oxidants for the dehydrogenative one-pot synthesis of N-alkoxycarbonyl-protected isoxazolines from hydroxylamines and for the synthesis of dibenz[b,f]oxepines, dibenzo[b,f]thiepines, and dibenz[b,f]azepines from simple xanthenes, thioxanthenes, and acridanes, respectively. 1 Introduction 2 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl-Mediated Dehydrogenative Formation and Trapping of Unstable Nitrones: Synthesis of N-Alkoxycarbonyl-Protected Isoxazoline Derivatives 3 Oxidative sp3-Carbon–Hydrogen Bond Functionalization and Ring Expansion with Trimethylsilyldiazomethane: Synthesis of Dibenzoxepines, Dibenzothiepines, and Dibenzazepines 4 Conclusions and Outlook
