Transition metal carbene complex

Last updated

A transition metal carbene complex is an organometallic compound featuring a divalent carbon ligand, itself also called a carbene. [1] Carbene complexes have been synthesized from most transition metals and f-block metals, [2] using many different synthetic routes such as nucleophilic addition and alpha-hydrogen abstraction. [1] The term carbene ligand is a formalism since many are not directly derived from carbenes and most are much less reactive than lone carbenes. [2] 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. [1] [3] [4]

Classification

Metal carbene complexes are often classified into two types. The Fischer carbenes, named after Ernst Otto Fischer, feature strong π-acceptors at the metal and are electrophilic at the carbene carbon atom. Schrock carbenes, named after Richard R. Schrock, are characterized by more nucleophilic carbene carbon centers; these species typically feature higher oxidation state (valency) metals. N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were popularized following Arduengo's isolation of a stable free carbene in 1991. [5] Reflecting the growth of the area, carbene complexes are now known with a broad range of different reactivities and diverse substituents. Often it is not possible to classify a carbene complex solely with regards to its electrophilicity or nucleophilicity. [1]

Fischer carbenes

The common features of Fisher carbenes are: [6]

Examples include (CO)5W=COMePh and (OC)5Cr=C(NR2)Ph.

Fisher carbene complexes are related to the singlet form of carbenes, where both electrons occupy the same sp2 orbital at the carbon. This lone pair donates to a metal-based empty d orbital, forming a σ bond. π-backbonding from a filled metal d orbital to the empty p orbital of the carbon atom is possible. However this interaction is generally weak since the alpha donor atoms also donate to this orbital. As such, fisher carbenes are characterized as having partial double bond character. The major resonance structures of Fisher carbenes put the negative charge on the metal centre, and the positive on the carbon atom, making it electrophilic. [6]

Fischer carbenes can be likened to ketones, with the carbene carbon atom being electrophilic, like the carbonyl carbon atom of a ketone. This can be seen from the resonance structures, where there is a significant contribution from the structure bearing a positive carbon centre. [6] Like ketones, Fischer carbene species can undergo aldol-like reactions. The hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atom α to the carbene carbon atom are acidic, and can be deprotonated by a base such as n-butyllithium, to give a nucleophile, which can undergo further reaction. [7]

Schrock carbenes do not have π-accepting ligands on the metal centre, and are typically found with: [6]

Examples include ((CH3)3CCH2)Ta=CHC(CH3)3 [9] and Os(PPh3)2(NO)Cl(=CH2). [10]

Bonding in such complexes can be viewed as the coupling of a triplet state metal and triplet carbene, forming a true double bond. Both the metal and carbon atom donate 2 electrons, one to each bond. Since there is no donation to the carbene atom from adjacent groups, the extent of pi backbonding is much greater, giving a strong double bond. These bonds are weakly polarized towards carbon and therefore the carbene atom is a nucleophile. Furthermore, the major resonance structures of Schrock carbene put the negative charge on the carbon atom, making it nucleophilic. [6] Complexes with the methylidene ligand (=CH2) are the simplest Schrock-type carbenes.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes

IMes is a common NHC ligand. 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (aka IMes).png
IMes is a common NHC ligand.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are particularly common carbene ligands. [11] They are popular because they are more readily prepared than Schrock and Fischer carbenes. In fact, many NHCs are isolated as the free ligand, since they are persistent carbenes. [12] [13] Being strongly stabilized by π-donating substituents, NHCs are powerful σ-donors but π-bonding with the metal is weak. [14] For this reason, the bond between the carbon and the metal center is often represented by a single dative bond, whereas Fischer and Schrock carbenes are usually depicted with double bonds to metal. Continuing with this analogy, NHCs are often compared with trialkylphosphine ligands. Like phosphines, NHCs serve as spectator ligands that influence catalysis through a combination of electronic and steric effects, but they do not directly bind substrates. [15] [16]

Bimetallic carbene complexes

An early example of this bonding mode was provided by [C5Me5Mn(CO)2]2(μ−CO) prepared from diazomethane:

2 C5Me5Mn(CO)2(thf) + CH2N2 → [C5Me5Mn(CO)2]2(μ−CH2] + N2 + 2 thf

Another example of this family of compounds is Tebbe's reagent. It features a methylene bridge joining titanium and aluminum. [17]

Application of Metal Carbenes

Metal carbene complexes have applications in hetereogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, and as reagents for organic reactions.

Catalysis

The dominant application of metal carbenes involves none of the above classes of compounds, but rather heterogeneous catalysts used for alkene metathesis for the synthesis of higher alkenes. A variety of related reactions are used to interconvert light alkenes, e.g. butenes, propylene, and ethylene. [18] Carbene complexes are invoked as intermediates in the Fischer–Tropsch route to hydrocarbons. [3]

A variety of homogeneous carbene catalysts, especially the Grubbs' ruthenium and Schrock molybdenum-imido catalysts have been used for olefin metathesis in laboratory-scale synthesis of natural products and materials science. [4]

Stoichiometric reactions

Homogeneous Schrock-type carbene complexes such as Tebbe's reagent can be used for the olefination of carbonyls, replacing the oxygen atom with a methylidene group. The nucleophilic carbon atom behaves similarly to the carbon atom of the phosphorus ylide in the Wittig reaction, attacking the electrophilic carbonyl atom of a ketone, followed by elimination of a metal oxide. [1]

In the nucleophilic abstraction reaction, a methyl group can be abstracted from the donating group of a Fischer carbene, making it a strong nucleophile for further reaction. [6]

Diazo compounds like methyl phenyldiazoacetate can be used for cyclopropanation or to insert into C-H bonds of organic substrates. These reactions are catalyzed by dirhodium tetraacetate or related chiral derivatives. Such catalysis is assumed to proceed via the intermediacy of carbene complexes. [19]

History

The first metal carbene complex, Chugaev's red salt, was not recognized as such until decades after its preparation. Chugaev's Carbene.svg
The first metal carbene complex, Chugaev's red salt, was not recognized as such until decades after its preparation.

The first metal carbene complex to have been reported was Chugaev's red salt, first synthesized as early as 1925, although it was never identified to be a carbene complex. [21] The characterization of (CO)5W(COCH3(Ph)) in the 1960s is often cited as the starting point of the area and Ernst Otto Fischer, for this and other achievements in organometallic chemistry, was awarded the 1973 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. [22] In 1968, Hans-Werner Wanzlick and Karl Öfele separately reported metal-bonded N-heterocyclic carbenes. [6] [23] [24] The synthesis and characterization of ((CH3)3CCH2)Ta=CHC(CH3)3 by Richard R. Schrock in 1974 marked the first metal alkylidene complex. [9] In 1991, Anthony J. Arduengo synthesized and crystallized the first persistent carbene, an NHC with large adamantane alkyl groups, accelerating the field of N-heterocarbene ligands to its current use. [5] [6]

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.

A persistent carbene is an organic molecule whose natural resonance structure has a carbon atom with incomplete octet, but does not exhibit the tremendous instability typically associated with such moieties. The best-known examples and by far largest subgroup are the N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), in which nitrogen atoms flank the formal carbene.

In organic chemistry, umpolung or polarity inversion is the chemical modification of a functional group with the aim of the reversal of polarity of that group. This modification allows secondary reactions of this functional group that would otherwise not be possible. The concept was introduced by D. Seebach and E.J. Corey. Polarity analysis during retrosynthetic analysis tells a chemist when umpolung tactics are required to synthesize a target molecule.

The triazol-5-ylidenes are a group of persistent carbenes which includes the 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene system and the 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene system. As opposed to the now ubiquitous NHC systems based on imidazole rings, these carbenes are structured from triazole rings. 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene can be thought of as an analog member of the NHC family, with an extra nitrogen in the ring, while 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene is better thought of as a mesoionic carbene (MIC). Both isomers of this group of carbenes benefit from enhanced stability, with certain examples exhibiting greater thermal stability, and others extended shelf life.

Organoiron chemistry is the chemistry of iron compounds containing a carbon-to-iron chemical bond. Organoiron compounds are relevant in organic synthesis as reagents such as iron pentacarbonyl, diiron nonacarbonyl and disodium tetracarbonylferrate. Although iron is generally less active in many catalytic applications, it is less expensive and "greener" than other metals. Organoiron compounds feature a wide range of ligands that support the Fe-C bond; as with other organometals, these supporting ligands prominently include phosphines, carbon monoxide, and cyclopentadienyl, but hard ligands such as amines are employed as well.

The chemistry has some stoichiometric similarities with organoiron chemistry, as iron is directly above ruthenium in group 8 of the periodic table. The most important reagents for the introduction of ruthenium are ruthenium(III) chloride and triruthenium dodecacarbonyl.

Germylenes are a class of germanium(II) compounds with the general formula :GeR2. They are heavier carbene analogs. However, unlike carbenes, whose ground state can be either singlet or triplet depending on the substituents, germylenes have exclusively a singlet ground state. Unprotected carbene analogs, including germylenes, has a dimerization nature. Free germylenes can be isolated under the stabilization of steric hindrance or electron donation. The synthesis of first stable free dialkyl germylene was reported by Jutzi, et al in 1991.

Transition metal carbyne complexes are organometallic compounds with a triple bond between carbon and the transition metal. This triple bond consists of a σ-bond and two π-bonds. The HOMO of the carbyne ligand interacts with the LUMO of the metal to create the σ-bond. The two π-bonds are formed when the two HOMO orbitals of the metal back-donate to the LUMO of the carbyne. They are also called metal alkylidynes—the carbon is a carbyne ligand. Such compounds are useful in organic synthesis of alkynes and nitriles. They have been the focus on much fundamental research.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tolman electronic parameter</span>

The Tolman electronic parameter (TEP) is a measure of the electron donating or withdrawing ability of a ligand. It is determined by measuring the frequency of the A1 C-O vibrational mode (ν(CO)) of a (pseudo)-C3v symmetric complex, [LNi(CO)3] by infrared spectroscopy, where L is the ligand of interest. [LNi(CO)3] was chosen as the model compound because such complexes are readily prepared from tetracarbonylnickel(0). The shift in ν(CO) is used to infer the electronic properties of a ligand, which can aid in understanding its behavior in other complexes. The analysis was introduced by Chadwick A. Tolman.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cyclic alkyl amino carbenes</span> Family of chemical compounds

In chemistry, cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs) are a family of stable singlet carbene ligands developed by the research group of Guy Bertrand in 2005 at UC Riverside. In marked contrast with the popular N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) which possess two "amino" substituents adjacent to the carbene center, CAACs possess one "amino" substituent and an sp3 carbon atom "alkyl". This specific configuration makes the CAACs very good σ-donors and π-acceptors when compared to NHCs. Moreover the reduced heteroatom stabilization of the carbene center in CAACs versus NHCs also gives rise to a smaller ΔEST.

A Fischer carbene is a type of transition metal carbene complex, which is an organometallic compound containing a divalent organic ligand. In a Fischer carbene, the carbene ligand is a σ-donor π-acceptor ligand. Because π-backdonation from the metal centre is generally weak, the carbene carbon is electrophilic.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Carbones</span> Class of molecules

Carbones are a class of molecules containing a carbon atom in the 1D excited state with a formal oxidation state of zero where all four valence electrons exist as unbonded lone pairs. These carbon-based compounds are of the formula CL2 where L is a strongly σ-donating ligand, typically a phosphine (carbodiphosphoranes) or a N-heterocyclic carbene/NHC (carbodicarbenes), that stabilises the central carbon atom through donor-acceptor bonds. Carbones possess high-energy orbitals with both σ- and π-symmetry, making them strong Lewis bases and strong π-backdonor substituents. Carbones possess high proton affinities and are strong nucleophiles which allows them to function as ligands in a variety of main group and transition metal complexes. Carbone-coordinated elements also exhibit a variety of different reactivities and catalyse various organic and main group reactions.  

<i>N</i>-Heterocyclic carbene boryl anion Isoelectronic structure

An N-heterocyclic carbene boryl anion is an isoelectronic structure of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), where the carbene carbon is replaced with a boron atom that has a -1 charge. NHC boryl anions have a planar geometry, and the boron atom is considered to be sp2-hybridized. They serve as extremely strong bases, as they are very nucleophilic. They also have a very strong trans influence, due to the σ-donation coming from the boron atom. NHC boryl anions have stronger electron-releasing character when compared to normal NHCs. These characteristics make NHC boryl anions key ligands in many applications, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and more commonly low oxidation state main group element bonding.

Organoberyllium compounds are typically prepared by transmetallation or alkylation of beryllium chloride.

Copper-catalyzed allylic substitutions are chemical reactions with unique regioselectivity compared to other transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitutions such as the Tsuji-Trost reaction. They involve copper catalysts and "hard" carbon nucleophiles. The mechanism of copper-catalyzed allylic substitutions involves the coordination of copper to the olefin, oxidative addition and reductive elimination. Enantioselective versions of these reactions have been used in the synthesis of complex molecules, such as (R)-(-)-sporochnol and (S)-(-)-zearalenone.
