A formal carbene-transfer reaction from an isolated nickelacyclobutane to an isocyanide to form a ketenimine is reported. DFT calculations support a stepwise 1,1-insertion/fragmentation pathway without a carbene intermediate. This unusual reactivity suggests a potential new role as "carbene reservoir" for nickelacyclobutanes, which are typically seen as intermediates in catalytic cyclopropanation.
报道了一种从分离出的镍杂环丁烷到异腈的正式卡宾转移反应,以形成烯酮亚胺。密度泛函理论计算支持一种逐步的1,1-插入/碎片化途径,且没有卡宾中间体。这种不寻常的反应性表明镍杂环丁烷作为“卡宾储存库”具有潜在的新作用,而镍杂环丁烷通常被视为催化环丙烷化反应中的中间体。
