Spirocyclic and Bicyclic Cyclohexadienyl Complexes from Intramolecular Nucleophilic Addition Reactions in Dicationic Arene Complexes

Abstract: The dicationic arene complexes [(p-cymene)Ru(PhCH2CH2[CH2] n OH)][OTf]2 and [Cp*Ir(PhCH2CH2[CH2] n OH)][OTf]2 (n = 1−2) react with K2CO3 to cleanly generate spirocyclic cyclohexadienyl complexes through intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the alkoxide at the ipso carbon of the arene ligand. When the internal nucleophile is the bulkier benzenesulfonamide group, cyclohexadienyl complexes derived from both ipso and ortho intramolecular nucleophilic addition are formed.

“…As part of continuing studies aimed at further defining the synthetic potential of (η 6 -arene)RuCp + complexes, we have uncovered a general route for the preparation of novel cyclohexadienyl azaspirocyclic ruthenium complexes 2 from the corresponding N -benzyl acetoacetamide derivatives 1 (Scheme ). , The spirocyclic framework present in 2 exhibits an intriguing 2-azabicyclo[4.5]decane ring system that potentially offers numerous opportunities for stereocontrolled access to a range of derivatives, provided that suitable methods for removal of the CpRu fragment can be developed. Furthermore, cleavage of the cyclohexadienyl-Ru coordination without disruption of the spirocyclic linkage would complete a net Ru-mediated dearomatization of the benzylamine precursors.…”

“…Specifically, the methylene carbon lies ~0.63 Å above the unsaturated ring, and the Fe atom is 1.60 Å away from the plane of this ring, analogously to the corresponding values (~0.65 and 1.66 Å) reported by Shirin, et al for a Ru-coordinated cyclohexadienyl ring [ 25 ]. The dihedral angle between the plane of the five carbons and the second plane of the three carbons that contains the saturated carbon is 45°, which is slightly larger but analogous to the 40° recorded for the (2-methoxycyclohexadienyl)Fe(CO) 3 + species [ 26 ]. The Fe-CF 3 bond of 1.968(3) Å, which very similar to the Fe-CF 3 of one of the few iron trifluoromethyl structures Fe[(CF 3 )(CON i Pr 2 )(CO 2 )(PPh 3 )], which is 1.979(4) Å [ 16 ].…”

“…Not unexpectedly, nucleophilic addition to aryl ethers is practically unfeasible unless the ring charge density increase caused by the ether moiety is compensated by binding electron-withdrawing substituents to the aromatic system. Two representative examples of the activation of these aryl ethers toward nucleophilic attack are the complexation with electrophilic transition metal groups , and the incorporation of nitro groups into the ring (see section 14.1) . A particular dearomatization of an unactivated aryl ether was observed in the lithiation of 92 with tert -butyl-lithium (Scheme ).…”
