C–H Insertion Catalyzed by Tetratolylporphyrinato Methyliridium via a Metal–Carbene Intermediate

Abstract: C-H insertion reactions between different substrates and diazo reagents were catalyzed by tetratolylporphyrinato methyliridium (Ir(TTP)CH 3). The highest yields were achieved for reactions between the bulky diazo reagent methyl 2-phenyldiazoacetate (MPDA) and substrates containing electron-rich C-H bonds. An intermediate metalloporphyrin complex was identified as a metal-carbene complex, Ir(TTP)(═C[Ph]CO 2 CH 3)(CH 3) (4), using 1 H NMR and UV/vis absorption spectroscopy. The presence of 4 was further supporte… Show more

“…Detection of the Ir-QC intermediate was subsequently carried out. Addition of N 2 QC tBu into aC DCl 3 solution of [Ir(TTP)Me] at À50 8 8Cled to the formation of anew species with ad ownfield shift for Ir-CH 3 at d = À4.51 ppm (Scheme 4a;s ee Figure S1), which is comparable to that observed for [Ir(TTP)(Me)(C(Ph)CO 2 Me)] (d = À4.80 ppm) [14] and is tentatively assigned to [Ir(TTP)(Me)(QC tBu )].H owever,i t could only be formed in about 10 %y ield, and further addition of diazo precursor caused its decomposition to the azine product (Scheme 4a). [15] This intermediate was also detected by MALDI-HRMS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry) in which both the experimental m/z values and isotopic pattern are consistent with its formulation (Scheme 4b).…”

“…This is noteworthy, given the propensity of EDA to dimerize during cyclopropanation and C−H insertion reactions, which are typically carried out using excess substrate. 29,32 In addition, some of the reactions for double insertion exhibited a fleeting color change, signifying the presence of an observable intermediate.…”

“…In contrast, the trans-methyl signal of Ir(TTP)CH 3 (C(Ph)-CO 2 Me) shifted downfield to −4.8 ppm. 15 Variable-Temperature NMR Analysis. At ambient temperature, complexes 5a,b and 6a,b displayed several broad NMR resonances.…”

“…For example, DFT optimization of a species that is active for carbene transfer, Ir(TTP)CH 3 (C(Ph)CO 2 CH 3 ), revealed notable porphyrin distortion in the ruffling (−0.4513) and doming (−0.2309) modes, with an overall D oop of 0.5154. 15 Medforth et al previously proposed a deformability model, which suggests that the barrier for meso-aryl−porphyrin C−C bond rotation lowers upon increased ruffling of the metalloporphyrin. 31 Rotation barriers and NSD data for NHC complexes 5b and 6b are consistent with this model.…”
