  • probing enantioselectivity in Rhodium catalyzed si c bond cleavage to construct silicon stereocenters a theoretical study
    Catalysis Science & Technology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Tao Zhang, Ruopeng Bai, Yu Lan
    Abstract:

    The Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of dibenzooxasilines developed by Hayashi and co-workers provides an efficient method to construct tetraorganosilicon stereocenters. In the present study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the mechanism and enantioselectivity of this reaction. Theoretical calculations indicate that the mechanism involves the initial formation of an aryloxoRhodium complex followed by Rh–Si exchange to afford an arylRhodium complex. The favorable oxidative addition/reductive elimination to cleave one Si–C(phenyl) bond from the arylRhodium complex determines the enantioselectivity. The enantioselectivity originates from the silyl moiety extruding from the phenyl ring on the Rhodium Atom in the reductive elimination transition state.

  • Interaction of Rh(I) with meso-arylsapphyrins and -rubyrins: first structural characterization of bimetallic hetero-rubyrin complex.
    Inorganic chemistry, 2001
    Co-Authors: Seenichamy Jeyaprakash Narayanan, Bashyam Sridevi, Tavarekere K. Chandrashekar, Ulrich Englich, Karin Ruhlandt-senge
    Abstract:

    The ligational behavior of meso-arylsapphyrins and rubyrins toward Rh(I) is investigated. Sapphyrins form monometallic complexes with coordination of one imine and amine type nitrogens of the bipyrrole unit in an η2 fashion. The Rh(I) coordination is completed by the presence of two ancillary carbon monoxide ligands. Rubyrins form both monometallic and bimetallic complexes. Two types of bimetallic complexes have been isolated. In the first type, both Rhodium Atoms are projected above the mean rubyrin plane, while in the second type, one Rhodium Atom is projected above and the other below the mean plane. Detailed 1H and 2D NMR spectral analyses along with IR and UV−visible spectra of the complexes confirm the proposed binding modes for the Rhodium complexes. Furthermore, the single-crystal X-ray analysis of one of the bimetallic complexes of rubyrin shows a bowl-shaped symmetric structure where both Rh(I) Atoms are projected above the mean rubyrin plane at an angle of 71.73°. The geometry around each rhodi...

  • Mechanism of C-H Bond Activation/C-C Bond Formation Reaction between Diazo Compound and Alkane catalyzed by DiRhodium Tetracarboxylate
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2002
    Co-Authors: Eiichi Nakamura, Naohiko Yoshikai, Masahiro Yamanaka
    Abstract:

    The B3LYP density functional studies on the diRhodium tetracarboxylate-catalyzed C-H bond activation/C-C bond formation reaction of a diazo compound with an alkane revealed the energetics and the geometry of important intermediates and transition states in the catalytic cycle. The reaction is initiated by complexation between the Rhodium catalyst and the diazo compound. Driven by the back-donation from the Rh 4d(xz) orbital to the C[bond]N sigma*-orbital, nitrogen extrusion takes place to afford a Rhodium[bond]carbene complex. The carbene carbon of the complex is strongly electrophilic because of its vacant 2p orbital. The C[bond]H activation/C[bond]C formation proceeds in a single step through a three-centered hydride transfer-like transition state with a small activation energy. Only one of the two Rhodium Atoms works as a carbene binding site throughout the reaction, and the other Rhodium Atom assists the C[bond]H insertion reaction. The second Rh Atom acts as a mobile ligand for the first one to enhance the electrophilicity of the carbene moiety and to facilitate the cleavage of the Rhodium[bond]carbon bond. The calculations reproduce experimental data including the activation enthalpy of the nitrogen extrusion, the kinetic isotope effect of the C[bond]H insertion, and the reactivity order of the C[bond]H bond.

    Abstract:

    The B3LYP density functional studies on the diRhodium tetracarboxylate-catalyzed C−H bond activation/C−C bond formation reaction of a diazo compound with an alkane revealed the energetics and the geometry of important intermediates and transition states in the catalytic cycle. The reaction is initiated by complexation between the Rhodium catalyst and the diazo compound. Driven by the back-donation from the Rh 4dxz orbital to the C−N σ*-orbital, nitrogen extrusion takes place to afford a Rhodium−carbene complex. The carbene carbon of the complex is strongly electrophilic because of its vacant 2p orbital. The C−H activation/C−C formation proceeds in a single step through a three-centered hydride transfer-like transition state with a small activation energy.
