Abstract
The reaction between the Fischer carbene complex (CO)5Cr=C(OEt)CºCPh and various benzylidene anilines RCH=NR1 was promoted by microwave irradiation, generating stable cross-conjugated metallahexatrienes in 45-70 % yield. Compared to conventional heating, the present conditions provided shorter reaction times with moderate yields. The geometrical configuration and the most stable conformation for each of the Fischer carbene complexes and their oxidation products were established by NMR and DFT analysis. The reaction mechanism was explored by DFT calculations of the potential energy surface, suggesting a 1,4-addition/ring closure/electrocyclic opening cascade process. Resumen. Se reporta la reactividad entre el carbeno de Fischer (CO)5Cr=C(OEt)CºCPh y las bencilidén anilinas, RCH=NR1, empleando irradiación de microondas. Los resultados indican que el calentamiento por microondas generó metalohexatrienos cruzados estables en rendimientos de 45-70 %, mostrando además, que los nuevos complejos se obtienen en tiempos de reacción más cortos y rendimientos moderados en comparación con las condiciones de calentamiento convencional. La configuración geométrica y la conformación más estable para los complejos carbénicos de Fischer y de sus derivados oxidados fueron establecidos por medio de RMN y DFT. La exploración de la superficie de energía potencial por cálculos DFT mostró que el proceso consistió en una reacción en cascada incluyendo una secuencia de adición-1,4, cierre de anillo y apertura electrocíclica.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
