Carbanion or Amide? First Charge Density Study of Parent 2‐Picolyllithium

Abstract: The negative charge originating from deprotonation of the methyl group is distributed over the 2-picolyl ring. Bonding properties derived from the electron density distribution support the enamide character of picolyllithium (PicLi; the picture shows the deformation density of [2-PicLi x PicH](2)), but electrophilic attack occurs at the deprotonated C atom. This reactivity is rationalized by the electrostatic potential, which guides electrophiles towards the nucleophilic C atom.

“…The Ga–sp 2 C(BIm) bond distance of 2.054(3) Å is in excellent agreement with the similar Ga–sp 2 C(btz) bond of 2.062(3) Å previously found in 6 . 31 While 2-picolyl anions can exhibit different coordination modes to metals depending on the degree of delocalization of the negative charge into the ring, 34 the geometrical parameters of 8 suggest that this fragment is best described as a carbanionic ligand, forming a Ga–CH 2 bond [Ga–C13 2.099(4) Å in Figure 5 ] that is comparable to the remaining Ga–C alkyl bonds in 8 (mean 2.027 Å). This particular bonding mode is further supported by the Li–N bond distance [Li1–N1 2.055(8) Å in Figure 5 ], which is noticeably longer than the corresponding bond found in the enamido complex [(2-CH 2 -pyridine)Li(PMDETA)] [Li–N 2.002(4) Å] 34e and is similar to that found in 7 [Li1–N2 2.063(6) Å].…”

“…Stalke et al haben die Elektronendichte in einigen Organolithiumkomplexen analysiert. [7] In einer neueren Untersuchung [8] [9] entlang der ganzen Bindungspfade analysiert, [10] um die verschiedenen Bindungsweisen des o-Methylkohlenstoffatoms und des Pyridinrings in PicH und Pic aufzuzeigen. In Einklang mit der Molekülgeometrie weist die exocyclische C1-C6-Bindung in Pic eine erhebliche Anisotropie auf (also mehr p-Bindung).…”

“…Stalke et al haben keine d-Werte veröffentlicht, wie sie unabhängig für die hier beschriebene Arbeit aus den Wellenfunktionen auf demselben Theorieniveau wie im Lit. [8] berechnet worden sind (siehe Abbildung 1). [15] Während sich in PicH C1 und C6 ziemlich genau ein Elektronenpaar teilen, gilt interessanterweise in Pic d(C1,C6) % 1.5.…”

“…Moreover, a bond critical point between both picolyl anion nitrogen atoms (N1, N1') was found, but on a very low electron density level (0.038 eÅ -3 , complete BCP list in ref. [206]). Similar weak attractive interactions between obviously non-bonded atoms in the view of a chemist are known and although no decisive point has been made so far in literature [88,179,[207][208][209] they should not be interpreted as a classical chemical bond.…”
