Electronic Effects of Rh(II)-Mediated Carbenoid Intramolecular C-H Insertion: A Linear Free Energy Correlation Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relative rates of the Rh(II)-mediated carbenoid insertion into the benzylic C-H bonds of a series of para-substituted phenyl substrates have been measured by an indirect intramolecular competition method. Three catalysts, rhodium(II) acetate, rhodium(II) trifluoroacetate, and rhodium(II) acetamide, were investigated. The effect of solvent was also studied on the reactions with rhodium(II) acetate as catalyst. The relative rates were analyzed by the Hammett equation. The relative rates are found to correlate better with σ than with σ+ for all three catalysts when CH2Cl2 is the solvent. For the insertion reactions catalyzed by Rh2(OAc)4, Rh2(O2CCF3)4, and Rh2(acam)4 in CH2Cl2, the Hammett correlations of the relative rates with σ give reaction constants of -1.26 (r ) 0.98), -0.66 (r ) 0.97), and -1.39 (r ) 0.98), respectively. The Hammett analysis also indicates no significant solvent effect. The mechanistic significance of these Hammett correlations is discussed.

Investigation of Electronic Effects of Rh(II)-Mediated r-Methyl-Substituted Carbenoid Intramolecular C-H Insertion
The electronic effects of Rh(II)-mediated carbenoid intramolecular C-H insertion have been intensively investigated. The chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity of the reaction have been observed to be affected by the electrophilicity of the carbene-Rh intermediate, the substituents on the carbon at which the C-H insertion occurs, and steric and conformational factors.1 It has been well documente...

The relative rate constants for the Rh(II)-catalyzed insertion of diazoacetone into the O-H bond have been measured through intermolecular competitions. The kinetic data were subjected to Hammett correlation analysis, and mechanistic implication of the results with respect to a stepwise vs a concerted O-H insertion pathway is discussed.

Along with the intramolecular C–H insertion reactions by carbenoids, intramolecular N–H insertion reactions of α-diazocarbonyl substrates catalyzed by metal complex have received considerable attention in recent years. This type of insertion reaction has been shown to be a mild and efficient route to 4-, 5-, and 6-membered aza rings. A frequently cited example of this powerful approach is the M...
