Various iron complexes 1, featuring silyl-NHC chelate ligands (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) were synthesized and investigated for their catalytic performance in the borylation reactions of olefins. Complexes 1 facilitated both hydroboration and dehydrogenative borylation of olefins with HBpin, yielding borylalkanes and borylalkenes, respectively. The selectivity between the two pathways was found to be governed by the steric effect of a substituent on one nitrogen atom of the NHC moiety. Possible catalytic mechanisms including hydroborato and β-agostic-alkyl complexes as potential resting states or intermediates are proposed based on stoichiometric reactions.
合成了各种具有甲硅烷基-NHC螯合配体(NHC = N-杂环卡宾)的铁配合物1,并研究了它们在烯烃硼氢化反应中的催化性能。配合物1促进了烯烃与HBpin的硼氢化反应和脱氢硼氢化反应,分别生成硼烷基烷烃和硼烷基烯烃。发现这两种途径之间的选择性受NHC部分一个氮原子上取代基的空间效应控制。基于化学计量反应,提出了包括硼氢化物和β-配位-烷基配合物作为潜在静止态或中间体的可能催化机理。
