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:
The Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society (J. Mex. Chem. Soc.) is a scientific, blind, peer reviewed, and open access, free of charge publication that covers all areas of chemistry and its sub-disciplines (i.e. medicinal chemistry, natural products, electrochemistry, material science, computational chemistry, organic chemistry, bionirganic chemistry, etc). It is devoted to facilitating the worldwide advancement of our understanding of chemistry. It will primarily publish original contributions of research in all branches of the theory and practice of chemistry in its broadest context as well as critical reviews in active areas of chemical research where the author has published significant contribution. The J. Mex. Chem. Soc. is a quarterly publication which language of submission and publication is English. To be suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc., manuscripts must describe novel aspects of chemistry, high quality of results and discussion an excellent bibliographic support, and contribute to the development of the field. Routine or incremental work are not suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc. Authors are encouraged to send contributions in electronic form. Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files.
