  • tmeda in iron catalyzed Hydromagnesiation formation of iron ii alkyl species for controlled reduction to alkene stabilized iron 0
    Angewandte Chemie, 2020
    Co-Authors: Peter G. N. Neate, Mark D. Greenhalgh, William W. Brennessel, Stephen P. Thomas, Michael L. Neidig
    Abstract:

    N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) has been one of the most prevalent and successful additives used in iron catalysis, finding application in reactions as diverse as cross-coupling, C-H activation, and borylation. However, the role that TMEDA plays in these reactions remains largely undefined. Herein, studying the iron-catalyzed Hydromagnesiation of styrene derivatives using TMEDA has provided molecular-level insight into the role of TMEDA in achieving effective catalysis. The key is the initial formation of TMEDA-iron(II)-alkyl species which undergo a controlled reduction to selectively form catalytically active styrene-stabilized iron(0)-alkyl complexes. While TMEDA is not bound to the catalytically active species, these active iron(0) complexes cannot be accessed in the absence of TMEDA. This mode of action, allowing for controlled reduction and access to iron(0) species, represents a new paradigm for the role of this important reaction additive in iron catalysis.

  • Mechanism of the Bis(imino)pyridine-Iron-Catalyzed Hydromagnesiation of Styrene Derivatives.
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
    Co-Authors: Peter G. N. Neate, Mark D. Greenhalgh, William W. Brennessel, Stephen P. Thomas, Michael L. Neidig
    Abstract:

    Iron-catalyzed Hydromagnesiation of styrene derivatives offers a rapid and efficient method to generate benzylic Grignard reagents, which can be applied in a range of transformations to provide products of formal hydrofunctionalization. While iron-catalyzed methodologies exist for the Hydromagnesiation of terminal alkenes, internal alkynes, and styrene derivatives, the underlying mechanisms of catalysis remain largely undefined. To address this issue and determine the divergent reactivity from established cross-coupling and hydrofunctionalization reactions, a detailed study of the bis(imino)pyridine iron-catalyzed Hydromagnesiation of styrene derivatives is reported. Using a combination of kinetic analysis, deuterium labeling, and reactivity studies as well as in situ 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, key mechanistic features and species were established. A formally iron(0) ate complex [ iPrBIPFe(Et)(CH2═CH2)]- was identified as the principle resting state of the catalyst. Dissociation of ethene forms the catalytically active species which can reversibly coordinate the styrene derivative and mediate a direct and reversible β-hydride transfer, negating the necessity of a discrete iron hydride intermediate. Finally, displacement of the tridentate bis(imino)pyridine ligand over the course of the reaction results in the formation of a tris-styrene-coordinated iron(0) complex, which is also a competent catalyst for Hydromagnesiation.

  • Iron-Catalysed Hydrofunctionalisation of Alkenes and Alkynes
    2016
    Co-Authors: Mark D. Greenhalgh
    Abstract:

    The metal-catalysed hydrofunctionalisation of alkenes and alkynes provides a convenient and atom-economic route to diversely functionalised products with control of regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity. As one of the most abundant elements on earth, iron offers a level of sustainable and long-term availability that is uncommon for most transition metals. Although iron is commonly found in the oxidation states of +2 and +3, the use of redox-active ligands has allowed the synthesis and application of low oxidation state iron complexes in catalysis. A broad range of hydrofunctionalisation reactions have been developed by using iron catalysts in a wide variety of oxidation states. Intense development over the past decade has resulted in the development of iron-catalysed hydroamination, hydroalkoxylation, hydrocarboxylation, hydrothiolation, hydrovinylation, hydrosilylation, hydroboration, hydrophosphination, Hydromagnesiation and carbonylation reactions, amongst others. With the field still in its infancy, there is great potential for further developments in the mechanistic understanding and synthetic and industrial applicability of these processes.

  • Iron-Catalysed Hydromagnesiation of Styrene Derivatives
    Iron-Catalysed Hydrofunctionalisation of Alkenes and Alkynes, 2016
    Co-Authors: Mark D. Greenhalgh
    Abstract:

    Grignard reagents are highly versatile organometallic reagents, and can be used for the formation of a range of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, through reaction with electrophiles, or by cross-coupling methodologies. The Hydromagnesiation of alkenes, dienes and alkynes provides an alternative method for the synthesis of alkyl-, allyl and vinyl Grignard reagents which may be challenging to prepare by conventional methods. This chapter deals with the development of an iron-catalysed methodology for the Hydromagnesiation of styrene derivatives to give benzylic Grignard reagents. The reaction scope and limitations are presented along with a discussion of possible reaction mechanisms based on in-depth mechanistic studies.
