The synthesis, structure, and olefin metathesis activity of the first neutral and cationic W-oxo-alkylidene-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts are reported. Neutral W-oxo-alkylidene-NHC catalysts can be prepared in up to 90% isolated yield. Depending on the ligands used, they possess either an octahedral (Oh) or trigonal bipyramidal ligand sphere. They can be activated with excess AlCl3 to form cationic olefin metathesis-active W-complexes; however, these readily convert into neutral chloro-complexes. Well-defined, stable cationic species can be prepared by stoichiometric substitution of one chloro ligand in the parent, neutral W-oxo-alkylidene-NHC complexes with Ag(MeCN)2B(Ar(F))4 or NaB(Ar(F))4; B(Ar(F))4 = B(3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3)4. They are highly active olefin metathesis catalysts, allowing for turnover numbers up to 10,000 in various olefin metathesis reactions including alkenes bearing nitrile, sec-amine, and thioether groups.
本文报道了首例中性和阳离子 W-氧代-亚烷基-N-杂环卡宾(NHC)催化剂的合成、结构和烯烃复分解活性。中性 W-氧代-亚烷基-NHC 催化剂的最高产率可达 90%。根据所使用的配体,它们具有八面体(Oh)或三角双锥配位球体。它们可以用过量的 AlCl3 激活,形成阳离子烯烃复分解活性 W-配合物;然而,这些配合物容易转化为中性氯配合物。通过在母体中性 W-氧代-亚烷基-NHC 配合物中用 Ag(MeCN)2B(Ar(F))4 或 NaB(Ar(F))4(B(Ar(F))4=B(3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3)4)取代一个氯配体,可以制备出稳定的、定义明确的阳离子物种。它们是高活性的烯烃复分解催化剂,在各种烯烃复分解反应中,包括含有腈、仲胺和硫醚基团的烯烃,其周转数高达 10,000。
