Formation of the Cationic [(2‐Aminoethenyl)carbine]iron Complexes by Treatment of (2‐Methoxyethenyl)carbene Complexes with Primary Amines:Synthesis a…
1997
Cationic (2-methoxyethenyl)methoxycarbene iron complexes 2, [Cp(CO)2Fe(C(OMe)CHCR(OMe))+][PF6−], are obtained by the addition of methanol to the corresponding (alkynyl)-methoxycarbene complexes 1, [Cp(CO)2Fe(C(OMe)CCR)+][PF6−]. Primary amines, H2NR', react with these 1,3-dimethoxy-substituted (alkenyl)carbene complexes, 2, through an addition/elimination process to yield cationic (2-aminoethenyl)methoxycarbene iron complexes, 3, [Cp(CO)2Fe(C(OMe)CHCR(NHR'))+][PF6−] in an isolated yield of 71–90%. The complexes 3a–c were characterized by X-ray structural analyses. Thus, previously isolated products, from the reaction, of the (alkynyl)methoxycarbene complexes 1a and 1c, with aniline at room t…
STABILITY AND ORGANOCATALYTIC EFFICIENCY OF N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENES ELECTROGENERATED IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS FROM IMIDAZOLIUM IONIC LIQUIDS
2015
The kinetic of degradation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole-2-ylidene (selected as model N-heterocyclic carbene - NHC), generated in organic solvents by cathodic reduction of the parent 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium salts BMIm-X, was studied by a simple voltammetric analysis. The effect of NHC degradation rate on the efficiency of an organocatalyzed reaction (the synthesis of g-butyrolactone from cinnamaldehyde and trifluoromethylacetophenone) was investigated. The nature of the solvent and of the anion X have a remarkable effect on the stability of the NHC, the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide anion being the best for a long lasting carbene (while acetonitrile seems to be the worst solvent). …
