The addition of 1 equiv of KO and Kryptofix222 (Krypt) in CHCN to a solution of LCu(CHCN) [L = N, N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,6-pyridinecarboxamide] in tetrahydrofuran at -80 °C yielded [K(Krypt)][LCuO], the enhanced stability of which enabled reexamination of its reactivity with 2-phenylpropionaldehyde (2-PPA). Mechanistic and product analysis studies revealed that [K(Krypt)][LCuO] reacts with wet 2-PPA to form [LCuOH], which then deprotonates 2-PPA to yield the copper(II) enolate complex [LCu(OC═C(Me)Ph)]. Acetophenone was observed upon workup of this complex or mixtures of KO and 2-PPA alone, in support of an alternative mechanism(s) to the one proposed previously involving an initial nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group of 2-PPA.
在-80℃下,将1当量的KO和穴状配体222(Krypt)加入到四氢呋喃中的LCu(CHCN) [L = N, N'-双(2,6-二异丙基苯基)-2,6-吡啶甲酰胺]溶液中,得到[K(Krypt)][LCuO],其增强的稳定性使得能够重新研究它与2-苯基丙醛(2-PPA)的反应活性。机理和产物分析研究表明,[K(Krypt)][LCuO]与湿的2-PPA反应形成[LCuOH],然后[LCuOH]使2-PPA去质子化,生成铜(II)烯醇盐配合物[LCu(OC═C(Me)Ph)]。单独处理该配合物或KO与2-PPA的混合物时会观察到苯乙酮,这支持了一种不同于先前提出的涉及对2-PPA羰基进行初始亲核攻击的替代机理。
