Organocalcium chemistry

Last updated

Organocalcium chemistry is the chemistry of compounds containing a calcium to carbon bond, [1] or in broader definitions, organic compounds that contain calcium. [2] Although discovered around the same time as the now commonly utilized organomagnesium compounds, [3] organocalcium compounds were subject to greatly reduced interest due to drastic differences in stability. However, recent advances in stabilization of these highly reactive compounds has spurred increased interest in organocalcium compounds and allowed for multiple research directions to form. Because calcium metal is less reactive to organic reagents than magnesium [4] and the organocalcium compounds are more reactive than organomagnesium compounds, synthesis of novel compounds still poses a significant challenge. Calcium also has access to empty d orbitals that the lighter alkaline earth metals cannot access, and the degree to which this affects bonding and reactivity has sparked a fundamental debate. [5] [6] Lastly, despite the inherent instability of most organocalcium complexes, the unique basicity and size of the calcium ion together with the highly polarized bonds formed has opened up applications for organocalcium compounds in organic transformations and catalytic cycles.

Compounds

In general, organocalcium synthesis is complicated by relatively unreactive calcium metal (compared to magnesium or the alkali metals due to a high atomization energy) [7] [8] and high reactivity of most organocalcium compounds to oxygen, water, and even ethereal solvents. [9] To sustain the highly electropositive calcium center, the vast majority of compounds have anionic ligands by which they can be categorized, with neutral coordinating ligands utilized for increased stability.

Aryl, allyl, and alkyl derivatives

The earliest organocalcium compounds to receive some sustained interest were alkyl- and arylcalcium compounds. The first of these was reported in 1905 by Ernst Beckmann, where synthesis of phenylcalcium iodide was claimed following stirring of calcium shavings with iodobenzene in diethyl ether (Et2O). [3] Subsequent study by Henry Gilman and Ferdinand Schulze argued that the isolated product in this report was actually the Et2O adduct of CaI2, [10] and, although phenylcalcium halides have been reported numerous times, [11] [12] [13] they are usually characterized through subsequent derivatization products. It took a full century until, in 2005, Matthias Westerhausen and colleagues obtained the first structural characterization of an arylcalcium compound, crystallizing phenylcalcium iodide as an adduct of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and calcium oxide. [14] A consistent challenge in the formation of organocalcium compounds has been the activation of calcium metal. Recent advancements in mechanochemistry have opened up simpler synthetic setups, with unactivated calcium being used to form arylcalcium reagents in situ during ball-milling. [15]

Allylcalcium compounds have also seen recent synthetic success, beginning with Timothy Hanusa and colleagues’ synthesis of a bis(allyl)calcium complex stabilized by sterically large, silyl substituents. [16] These successes have largely been driven by the use of salt metathesis reactions, where potassium salts of allyl anions exchange metals with a calcium halide, typically CaI2. This same strategy has been used to synthesize the unsubstituted complex Ca(η3-C3H5)2 as a soluble triglyme adduct. [17] This has been proven to be a versatile strategy, with a full series of substituted allylcalcium complexes of different sizes also characterized through a salt metathesis pathway. [18]

The carbon atom in the calcium-carbon bond takes on a significant negative charge. Because of the greater nucleophilicity of alkyl ligands, the alkylcalcium reagents are in general harder to synthesize than the arylcalcium compounds. [8] A common stabilizing strategy is to use bulky silyl [19] and phenyl [20] substituents to stabilize this negative charge. When targeting a Grignard analogue, the decreased reactivity from this method and the poor stability of the less protected methyl- and ethylcalcium halides has led to in situ generation of reactive alkylcalcium halides as the preferred method over the synthesis of isolable compounds. [21] Because of this poor stability, the pure organometallic dimethylcalcium was only isolated in 2018 by Reiner Anwander and colleagues as an insoluble, amorphous solid, with the THF adduct being structurally characterizable as a heptametallic cluster. [22]

Metallocenes

Few calcium metallocenes (“calcocenes”) have been isolated, but they are of particular interest due to the insights into bonding that have come from their study. [23] The first synthesis of Cp2Ca (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) from calcium metal and cyclopentadiene in THF produced an insoluble, polymeric product. [24] A crystal structure showed that, unlike most transition metal metallocenes, the Cp-Ca-Cp angle is significantly bent and Cp2Ca has an opening that can be utilized to access derivatives. As seen in the first monomeric synthesis of a calcocene, ethereal solvents such as Et2O and THF almost always coordinate in this opening and can be challenging to remove through sublimation. [25] This bent structure can be leveraged into different coordination environments. For example, two butenyl-substituted Cp ligand will coordinate to Ca through both the five-membered rings and the olefins, but the olefins will not coordinate to Mg, where the Cp-Mg-Cp angle is not bent. [26]

Low-oxidation-state compounds

Although low oxidation state beryllium and magnesium chemistry has developed significantly in the last two decades, [27] only a few reports exist of organocalcium compounds stabilizing any oxidation state other than Ca(II). [28] The first and only report of an isolable Ca(I) compound came in 2009, where two THF-coordinated Ca(I) ions sit on either side of an arene ring. [29] The π-antibonding orbitals of the sandwiched arene help stabilize the two calcium ions, which are further stabilized by the coordinating solvent. Other studies of Ca(I) were done at low temperatures in exotic conditions [30] or examine formally Ca(II) compounds that imply Ca(I)-containing intermediates either during synthesis or further reactivity. [31] [32] A landmark example of this from Sjoerd Harder and coworkers is the reported reduction of arenes and N2 by a bridged Ca(I)-Ca(I) species generated in situ. [31] The ease of activating the normally inert N2 to turn it into a strong reductant even at room temperature highlights the instability of Ca(I) species. Although not isolable as a Ca(I)-Ca(I) dimer, it possesses similar reactivity as a stronger reducing agent than a Mg(I) dimer.

Amides, hydrides, and fluorides

There are several classes of calcium complexes that have become especially relevant despite not necessarily containing a Ca-C bond. The calcium amides, for example, have been investigated for numerous applications as a stoichiometric or catalytic reagent. Several modern synthetic strategies have allowed for a wide range of calcium amides to realized. Transmetalation, such as from a Sn(II) amide, allowed for the early preparation of amides yet again stabilized by bulky silyl groups. [33] Additional electronic and kinetic stabilization can be provided through carbenes, despite lacking the π-backbonding that other main group elements are capable of. [34] [35] A breakthrough in eliminating side product formation and other contamination was the development of mechanochemical syntheses that forgo the use of solvent. Simply ball-milling CaI2 with a potassium amide salt yielded the corresponding bis(amido) complex. [36]

Inspired by the well-studied and useful solid-state CaH2, several molecular calcium hydrides have been synthesized with the hope of interesting small molecule activation. In 2006, Sjoerd Harder and Julie Brettar accomplished the synthesis of a well-defined, dimeric calcium hydride through the reaction of a calcium amide with phenylsilane. [37] Subsequent studies have expanded the library of stabilizing ligands, but all are multidentate ligands that coordinate through nitrogen sites. [38]

Several recent advances have been made in the synthesis of molecular calcium fluorides. The solid-state CaF2 is an important source of fluorides for organofluorine compounds, but rely on dangerous HF intermediates. [39] The early well-characterized molecular calcium fluorides are clusters and are formed by reacting CaF2 with large, multidentate ligands. [40] Recent work from Simon Aldridge and coworkers have resulted in more accessible fluoride coordination environments that can act as reagents for nucleophilic fluoride addition to organic compounds. [41] [42]

Bonding Descriptions

The changes in properties going down the alkaline earth group causes calcium to possess qualitatively entirely distinct bonding characteristics than the lighter beryllium and magnesium ions. In particular, calcium is significantly larger, more reducing, and has a much lower electronegativity. This enforces a strong preference for the Ca(II) oxidation state and an essentially ionic bond with carbon, which can be reasonably described as a carbanion in the Ca-C bond. [27]

A key difference in calcium bonding descriptions compared to magnesium and beryllium is the occasional use of the unfilled 3d orbitals to fully explain bonding and structural patterns. For example, the bent nature of calcocene, and the potentially bent geometry of CaH2, can be explained by increased involvement of the 3d orbitals in bonding. [23] [43] This has been highly debated, however, with other explanations invoking the polarizability of the larger Ca core [44] and a stabilizing van der Waals interaction between the two ligands. [45] A similar debate [5] [6] [46] is ongoing regarding the degree of π-backbonding in a Ca(CO)8 complex. [30] Although still controversial, computational studies on the degree of sp-d hybridization [47] have caused some to label Ca as an honorary transition metal. [46]

Reactivity

Heavy Grignard reactivity

Organocalcium compounds show some more similarities to organolithium chemistry over organomagnesium compounds. This is largely due to differences in electronegativity, which allow organocalcium compounds to function as a base more often than typical magnesium-based Grignard reagents do. [8] This basicity is exemplified by the facile deprotonation and subsequent cleavage of ethers such as THF. [48]

Another point of differentiation from the magnesium-based Grignard reagents is the higher positive charge localized on the calcium atom, due to the higher degree of ionicity in the Ca-C bond versus the Mg-C bond, which can enable unique reactivity not seen in the lighter alkaline earth compounds. For example, a dimeric Ca alkynide complex was shown to enable the coupling of two anionic alkynides to form an extended, fully double bonded four-carbon chain. [49] The previously mentioned in situ generation of reactive alkylcalcium species has also been successfully used to react with amines to form calcium amides. [21] This reactivity relies on fast ligand exchange of calcium Grignard reagents due to the ionic nature of this bond – the initially formed product is a heteroleptic calcium monoamide monohalide, but ligand exchange quickly forms the full calcium diamide and an insoluble calcium dihalide that drives the Schlenk equilibrium to completion. Non-Grignard alkylcalcium complexes have also shown unique reactivity, such as alkylation of benzene driven by the formation of a calcium hydride. [50]

Catalytic reactivity

Catalysis with organocalcium compounds has historically been limited due to poor stability. However, significant recent progress has been made in multiple areas of catalytic applications. Inspired by alkali metal-based organometallic compounds use in anionic polymerization, organocalcium compounds have also been investigated as polymerization catalysts. [2] For example, fast polymerization has been seen for polylactide synthesis with excellent selectivity for the isotactic form. [51] This is not only enabled by the previously discussed electronic and electrostatic differences, but also by the larger size of calcium in comparison to the alkali metals or magnesium. The larger size of calcium allows an unusual trigonal prismatic coordination geometry utilized throughout the mechanism. [52] The ionic nature of Ca-C bonding can also be leveraged for living polymerization, as was demonstrated for a stereoselective synthesis of polystyrene. [53]

Catalysis has also been performed using organocalcium compounds for a series of organic transformations. This most prominently includes hydroamination, where numerous viable substrates and modes of selectivity have been demonstrated. [2] [54] [55] Catalytic activity has also been shown for the analogous hydrophosphination, [56] the hydrogenation of alkene with dihydrogen, [57] regioselective hydrosilylation of conjugated alkenes, [58] and the hydroboration of alkenes, although the role of calcium in the latter mechanism is still debated. [59] The redistribution of arylsilane and hydrosilane groups has also been performed catalytically, relying on the cleavage and reformation of C-Si and Si-H bonds driven by the simultaneous cleavage and reformation of Ca-C and Ca-H bonds.

Organometallic chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds, chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal, including alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals, and sometimes broadened to include metalloids like boron, silicon, and selenium, as well. Aside from bonds to organyl fragments or molecules, bonds to 'inorganic' carbon, like carbon monoxide, cyanide, or carbide, are generally considered to be organometallic as well. Some related compounds such as transition metal hydrides and metal phosphine complexes are often included in discussions of organometallic compounds, though strictly speaking, they are not necessarily organometallic. The related but distinct term "metalorganic compound" refers to metal-containing compounds lacking direct metal-carbon bonds but which contain organic ligands. Metal β-diketonates, alkoxides, dialkylamides, and metal phosphine complexes are representative members of this class. The field of organometallic chemistry combines aspects of traditional inorganic and organic chemistry.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Organolithium reagent</span> Chemical compounds containing C–Li bonds

In organometallic chemistry, organolithium reagents are chemical compounds that contain carbon–lithium (C–Li) bonds. These reagents are important in organic synthesis, and are frequently used to transfer the organic group or the lithium atom to the substrates in synthetic steps, through nucleophilic addition or simple deprotonation. Organolithium reagents are used in industry as an initiator for anionic polymerization, which leads to the production of various elastomers. They have also been applied in asymmetric synthesis in the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the large difference in electronegativity between the carbon atom and the lithium atom, the C−Li bond is highly ionic. Owing to the polar nature of the C−Li bond, organolithium reagents are good nucleophiles and strong bases. For laboratory organic synthesis, many organolithium reagents are commercially available in solution form. These reagents are highly reactive, and are sometimes pyrophoric.

A transition metal carbene complex is an organometallic compound featuring a divalent carbon ligand, itself also called a carbene. Carbene complexes have been synthesized from most transition metals and f-block metals, using many different synthetic routes such as nucleophilic addition and alpha-hydrogen abstraction. The term carbene ligand is a formalism since many are not directly derived from carbenes and most are much less reactive than lone carbenes. Described often as =CR2, carbene ligands are intermediate between alkyls (−CR3) and carbynes (≡CR). Many different carbene-based reagents such as Tebbe's reagent are used in synthesis. They also feature in catalytic reactions, especially alkene metathesis, and are of value in both industrial heterogeneous and in homogeneous catalysis for laboratory- and industrial-scale preparation of fine chemicals.

A magnesium(I) dimer is a molecular compound containing a magnesium to magnesium bond (Mg-Mg), giving the metal an apparent +1 oxidation state. Alkaline earth metals are commonly found in the +2-oxidation state, such as magnesium. The M2+ are considered as redox-inert, meaning that the +2 state is significant. However, recent advancements in main group chemistry have yielded low-valent magnesium(I) dimers, also given as Mg(I), with the first compound being reported in 2007. They can be generally represented as LMg-MgL, with L being a monoanionic ligand. For example, β-diketiminate, commonly referred to as Nacnac, is a useful chelate regarding these complexes. By tuning the ligand, the thermodynamics of the complex change. For instance, the ability to add substituents onto Nacnac can contribute to the steric bulk, which can affect reactivity and stability. As their discovery has grown, so has their usefulness. They are employed in organic and inorganic reduction reactions.
