Preface Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations (COFGT 1995) presented the vast subject of organic synthesis in terms of the introduction and interconversion of functional groups, according to a rigorous system, designed to cover all known and as yet unknown functional groups. Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations II (COFGT-II), designed for specialist and nonspecialist chemists, active in academic, industrial, and government laboratories, now updates the developments of functional group transformations since the publication of the COFGT 1995. COFGT-II is structured in precisely the same manner as the original COFGT work, allowing truly comprehensive coverage of all organic functional group transformations. COFGT-II, in combination with COFGT 1995, provides an essential reference source for the all-important topic of methodologies for the interconversion of functional groups in organic compounds, and provides an efficient first point of entry into the key literature and background material for those planning any research involving the synthesis of new organic compounds. With the increase in our understanding of the way in which the chemical structure of compounds determines all physical, chemical, biological, and technological properties, targeted synthesis becomes ever more important. The making of compounds is germane not only to organic chemistry but also to future developments in all biological, medical, and materials sciences. The availability of the work in electronic format through ScienceDirect will greatly enhance its utility. The Editors-in-Chief would like to extend their warm thanks to the Volume Editors, the chapter authors, and the Elsevier staff for operating in such an efficient and professional manner. A. R. Katritzky R. J. K. Taylor

Introduction to Volume 6 Volume 6 is in four parts. Part I deals with tetracoordinate carbons bearing three heteroatoms. Part II covers tetracoordinate compounds bearing four heteroatoms, i.e., substituted methanes, and Part III deals with tricoordinate systems bearing three heteroatoms, i.e., where one heteroatom is attached to a double bond. Part IV is brief and deals with stabilized radicals, carbocations, and carbanions. Volume 6 covers a very broad area of chemistry and, even at the time of writing this second edition, many gaps in the development of organic chemistry still exist. The organization within the three parts not only follows the same broad logic developed in the previous volumes, but also has a structure unique to the multiheteroatom volume. According to the Latest Placement Principle, CF3C(NR2)3 appears in the chapter dealing with the carbons bearing three nitrogens (Chapter 6.5), not that dealing with carbons bearing three halogens (Chapter 6.1), while (CF3CH2O)2CO appears in Part III, not in Part I. In the chapter dealing with the iminocarbonyl function in Part III, the substituents on nitrogen are discussed in each appropriate subsection in the order outlined above.Thus, the RN = group would be first considered with R = H, then alkyl, alkenyl, aryl and hetaryl, alkynyl, and then heteroatom substituents in the usual order. Each chapter is divided into sections and subsections which follow the same numbering system that was used for the first edition. Where no significant new work has appeared in a specific area since the publication the first edition of Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations in 1995, this is stated. This should allow readers to judge readily the scope and intensity of work outside their immediate area of expertise. Many growth areas are discussed, for example, the increase in the number and variety of methods for the introduction of a trifluoromethyl group into aromatic and aliphatic molecules (Chapter 6.1). Another instance is a metathesis reaction that involves the reaction of a metal or metalloid halide with a trimethyllithiomethane derivative such as (Me3Si)3CLi that promises general application for the synthesis of methanes that bear up to four metal or metalloid functions, many examples of which have yet to be made (Chapter 6.13).

Explanation of the reference system Throughout this work, references are designated by a number-lettering coding of which the first four numbers denote the year of publication, the next one to three letters denote the journal, and the final numbers denote the page. This code appears in the text each time a reference is quoted. This system has been used successfully in previous publications and enables the reader to go directly to the literature reference cited, without first having to consult the bibliography at the end of each chapter. The following additional notes apply: 1. A list of journal codes in alphabetical order, together with the journals to which they refer is given immediately following these notes. Journal names are abbreviated throughout using the CASSI ‘‘Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index’’ system. 2. The references cited in each chapter are given at the end of the individual chapters. 3. The list of references is arranged in order of (a) year, (b) journal in alphabetical order of journal code, (c) part letter or number if relevant, (d) volume number if relevant, and (e) page number. 4. In the reference list the code is followed by (a) the complete literature citation in the conventional manner and (b) the number(s) of the page(s) on which the reference appears, whether in the text or in tables, schemes, etc. 5. For non-twentieth-century references, the year is given in full in the code. 6. For journals which are published in separate parts, the part letter or number is given (when necessary) in parentheses immediately after the journal code letters. 7. Journal volume numbers are not included in the code numbers unless more than one volume was published in the year in question, in which case the volume number is included in parentheses immediately after the journal code letters. 8. Patents are assigned appropriate three-letter codes. 9. Frequently cited books are assigned codes. 10. Less common journals and books are given the code ‘‘MI’’ for miscellaneous with the whole code for books prefixed by the letter ‘‘B-’’. 11. Where journals have changed names, the same code is used throughout, e.g., CB refers to both Chem. Ber. and to Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges.

GENERAL METHODS

There are several general methods that may be used for the synthesis of trihalomethyl compounds, and these were discussed in detail in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)1>. The experimental basis behind these established procedures remains valid; so in this chapter, a brief overview of addition reactions of halogens and haloalkenes to alkenes for the synthesis of systems bearing trihalomethyl groups is provided. Recent developments and further applications of these general processes are given where appropriate. 1

Trihalides The Addition of Halogens and Interhalogens to Fluoroalkenes

The addition of halogens and interhalogens to fluorinated alkenes is a well-established method for the synthesis of compounds bearing CHal3 groups and this area has recently been summarized <2000MI331, 2000MI234>. Many examples of such electrophilic addition processes, involving electrophilic halonium ion and nucleophilic fluoride ion, are given in COFGT (1995) and a few examples (Equations (1)–(3)) are shown below as an illustration <1978JFC(12)257, 1973ZOR673, 1961JCS3779>.

Additions initiated by free radicals, heat, or radiation

Trihalomethyl radicals, generated by heat, peroxide, or UV initiation, react with alkenes to form an intermediate radical as shown below (Scheme 1). This radical may then react with further equivalent(s) of alkene to lead to oligomers and polymers or abstract a halogen atom from a molecule of the starting material to give a tetrahalogenated product.

The product distribution depends upon the relative rates of each of the stages outlined above. Generally, starting materials with weak carbonhalogen bonds (iodides) give predominantly lowmolecular-weight products, whilst systems with relatively strong carbonhalogen bonds give a higher proportion of oligomeric products. Furthermore, if the alkene is not easily polymerized under normal conditions (e.g., hexafluoropropene) the addition product is favored, while readily homopolymerized alkenes lead to polymeric systems. The addition of the halomethyl radicals is often regioselective due to a combination of steric and electronic factors <1982AG(E)401, 1996CRV1557, 1997TCC(192)97>. Since the initial report by Kharasch <1947JA1100> describing such radical chain addition processes, a substantial literature has developed <1963OR91, B-1992MI002, B-1986MI001>, detailing the syntheses of a great number of free-radical addition adducts, oligomers, and polymers all bearing trihalomethyl end groups. A selection of these processes is given below (Equations (7)–(11)) to illustrate some of the processes possible <1961JOC2089, 1955JA2783, 1953JCS1592, 1964JOC1198, 1981TL3405>.

The addition processes outlined above all lead to the formation of tetrahaloalkane systems in which trihalomethyl and halogen are added across a double bond. These reactions have, however, recently been adapted for the synthesis of trichloromethyl derivatives by the addition of an effective hydrogen atom donor (Equations (12) and (13)). Reaction of tetrachloromethane with alkenes in the presence of diethyl phosphite leads to good yields of trichloromethylated products because hydrogen is transferred to the intermediate radical, rather than halogen abstraction occurring <2001SL1719>.

Additions catalyzed by salts and complexes of transition metals

The observation that thermally initiated addition processes involving reaction between carbon tetrachloride and acrylonitrile could be affected by the presence of metals or metal salts to give greater yields of the Kharasch addition product rather than oligomers prompted much research. Many different metals, metal salts, metal oxides, and transition metal complexes have been assessed for their effectiveness in such addition processes and are listed in COFGT (1995). Recently, Kharasch addition using ruthenium(II) complexes has been assessed <2000TL5347> and the process (Equation (15)) may be affected by changing the ligand on the ruthenium metal center <2000TL6071>.

General

The growing number of life science products that bear trifluoromethyl groups provides a continuing driving force for the development of effective methodology that enables both regio- and stereoselective introduction of trifluoromethyl groups into both aliphatic and aromatic systems. In more specific cases, the use of -trifluoromethyl ketones as potent enzyme inhibitors <2001MI755> and the synthesis of aliphatic cyclic systems that bear trifluoromethyl groups has been discussed <2000T3635>. In general, trifluoromethylating reagents which transfer trifluoromethyl groups directly onto a substrate by carboncarbon bond formation may be considered as either electrophilic (CF+ 3 ), radical (CF_3), or nucleophilic (CF3) trifluoromethylating systems. It is fair to say that in the 1990s many of the major developments in this area of synthetic chemistry have occurred in nucleophilic trifluoromethylation methodology, particularly in the use of Ruppert’s reagent, CF3SiMe3. This is reflected in the publication of major reviews detailing syntheses involving Ruppert’s reagent by Prakash <1997CRV757, 2001JFC(112)123> and Shreeve <2000T7613>, and more general nucleophilic trifluoromethylation by Langlois <2003S185>. Of course, functional group interconversion, resulting in the transformation of substituents, already located on a substrate, into a trifluoromethyl group upon reaction with a fluorinating reagent (carbonfluorine bond formation), is an alternative strategy.

Aryl Derivatives Conversion of groups attached to an aromatic ring into the trifluoromethyl group

Reaction of trichloromethyl and carboxylic acid groups with fluorinating agents, as discussed in COFGT (1995), continues to provide effective methodology for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl aromatic derivatives. Recent adaptations of this methodology are outlined below. Exchange of halogen for fluorine (Halex process) involving reaction of benzotrichloride derivatives with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, antimony trifluoride, or hydrogen fluoride/antimony pentafluoride as fluorinating agents remains the most useful industrial process for the synthesis of aromatic trifluoromethyl derivatives. A one-step Friedel Crafts/Halex process is particularly efficient for the synthesis of various brominated <1981JFC(18)281> and acetanilide <2003TL1747> trifluoromethyl derivatives (Equations (16) and (17)).

Variation of the chalcogen (S, Se, Te) and aromatic ring substituents lead to a series of related sulfur, selenium, and tellurium (trifluoromethyl)dibenzo-phenium triflates that can act as ‘‘power variable’’ trifluoromethylating reagents, in which the most powerful trifluoromethylating reagents are based on sulfonium systems with highly electron-withdrawing groups attached to both aromatic rings <1995JFC(74)77>. Electrophilic trifluoromethylation of anilines <1995JFC(74)77> (Equation (23)), for which related kinetic studies have been performed <1996JFC(80)163>, and zinc porphyrins <1999EJO2471>, which leads to the synthesis of longer-wavelength absorbing meso-substituted systems (Equation (24)), has been reported using the Umemoto reagents.

Halogen exchange (halex) processes, involving nucleophilic substitution of halogen by fluorine using a metal fluoride in combination with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, continues to be very important for the industrial production of small fluorinated hydrocarbons such as the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Since the establishment of the Montreal Protocol, effectively banning the use of CFCs in developed countries, manufacturing processes for the synthesis of HFCs have been rapidly implemented.

Various halogen exchange processes have been performed in which most, or all, of the usual aprotic solvent medium, such as sulfolane, was replaced by a perfluoroalkane fluid. In some cases, the products obtained using sulfolane/perfluoroalkane media were different from those found when using sulfolane alone. Hexachlorodiene, for example, gave hexafluorobut-2-yne, rather than heptafluorobutene, as the major product (Equation (34)) when carried out in a perfluoroalkanerich reaction medium because elimination of fluoride to give the alkyne occurs preferentially <1997JCS(P1)3623>.

Trichloromethyl anions may be generated from chloroform/BuLi, chloroform/NaOH, or TMSCCl3/base, and react with various organic substrates that possess electrophilic carbon sites. However, trichloromethyl anion is relatively unstable and must be generated at low temperature (100 C) before loss of chloride ion, giving reactive dichlorocarbene, occurs as a competing process leading to the formation of unwanted side products. Nevertheless, some useful syntheses utilizing trichloromethyl anions have been developed. Michael-type addition processes (Equations (85) and (86)) to a range of electron-poor alkenes occur to give corresponding trichloromethyl adducts <1993JOC267, 1999OL2165> and -trichloromethyl alkanes may be prepared by reaction with sufficiently activated haloalkanes (Equation (87)) <1990JOC1281>.

Trihalides Biographical sketch

Graham Sandford was born in Manchester. He studied at Durham University, where he obtained a B.Sc. in 1988 and his Ph.D. in 1991 under the direction of Professor R. D. Chambers. After spending 1992 in the laboratories of Professor G. A. Olah at USC, Los Angeles, he returned to Durham as a BNFL Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Subsequently, he was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 1996 and took up his present position as Lecturer in Chemistry at Durham in March 2001. His scientific interests include all aspects of organofluorine chemistry, in particular, selective fluorination methodology, heterocyclic, free-radical and carbanion chemistry of fluorinated systems.

FUNCTIONS CONTAINING HALOGEN AND A CHALCOGEN

Apart from broad overviews of haloalkyl systems relevant to this chapter and covering the literature up to 1984 <1985HOU(E5)> and up to 1994 <1995COFGT(6)35> no report of this type has ever been published. A few limited reviews which concentrated mainly on fluorinated oligo- and polymeric materials containing -(CF2O)n- or -(CF2S)n fragments were published. A review seeking to cover recent developments in the field of fluorinated elastomers was published in 2001 <2001MI105>. Heteroatom-containing fluoroelastomers were briefly summarized there (pp. 144–147). The following structures were discussed: -(CF2O)n-, -(CF2S)n-, -(N-OCF2CF2)n-. Also nitrile-containing fluoroelastomers (NC-(CF2)n-O-CF) were presented. A review on polymers (containing OCF2 fragments), which can be applied to a variety of surfaces and manufactured into thin films, has been recently published by Imae <2003MI(8)307>. Caminade et al. published a review on fluorinated dendrimers (some containing OCF2 fragments) and their applications in catalysis, material sciences, and biology <2003MI(8)282>. Application of several different perfluoroalkyl compounds, e.g., perfluoroethers in the biomedical field; in in vivo transport of O2, CO2, and NO was reviewed earlier <1998MI(80)489>.

(i) From ethers Direct halogenation of ethers remains the simplest method for synthesis of perhalogenated compounds of this class. Fluorination of low-molecular weight ethers using elemental fluorine gives products with ratio being a function of the flow rate of fluorine and of carrier gas (usually helium). Direct fluorination of dioxane using elemental fluorine has afforded perfluorinated system in a moderate yield, whereas application of a mixture of sulfur tetrafluoride and hydrogen fluoride has led to the formation of 2,2,3-trifluorodioxane in a high yield. Electrochemical fluorination of ethers leads to perfluorinated products in moderate yields. Electrochemical fluorination of a range of oxanes also results in the formation of the corresponding perfluorinated products in only moderate yields <1995COFGT(6)35>. Combination of sodium fluoride and elemental fluorine has successfully been applied to fluorination of ethers in perhalogenated alkanes as the solvents. The appropriate perfluorinated ethers were obtained in high yields (Scheme 1) <1995JA4276, 1996SC375>. Fluorination of 5,7,9,11-tetraoxapentadecane using the same system has produced a mixture of perfluorinated ethers resulting from chain cleavage <1995JA4276, 1996SC375>. Fluorination of an alkoxyalkyl ester of perfluorinated acid using elemental fluorine at elevated pressure affords perfluorinated product in a moderate yield. It is worth mentioning that the ester function is preserved (Equation (1)) <2001JFC(112)109>.

Tetrahydrofuran, when treated with boron trichloride in the presence of bis(trifluoromethyl)cadmium-acetonitrile complex, undergoes ring-opening reaction followed by halogenation to produce 4-chlorobutyl difluoromethyl ether <1995JFC(73)229>.

Treatment of haloethers, containing a mixed halogen function, with sevoflurane (1,1,1,3,3,3hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)propane) in the presence of antimony pentachloride <1998JFC(88)51, 2001JFC(111)11> or bromine trifluoride <2000JFC(102)363> results in halogen substitution. In the latter reaction respective fluorinated ethers have been obtained in moderate to good yields (Scheme 3). Substitution of a chlorine atom in trichloromethyl group using sevoflurane and antimony pentachloride was reported later <1999JFC(94)1>. A fluorine atom through a reaction with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of cobalt difluoride and porous aluminum trifluoride can substitute an -chlorine atom in mixed haloalkoxyalkanes (Scheme 3) <2001JFC(112)145>.

Functions Containing Halogens and Any Other Elements (iv) From carbonyl derivatives

Several methods for conversion of carbonyl compounds into ethers perhalogenated in alkyl (cycloalkyl) groups have been described. Among others electrochemical fluorination of acyl chlorides and esters has been used. The sulfur tetrafluoride has been applied for conversion of a variety of anhydrides, esters, and formate esters into compounds with difluoromethyl groups. Aromatic o-diacids treated with sulfur tetrafluoride can form cyclic ethers in addition to perfluorination of other substituents <1995COFGT(6)35>. Phosphorous pentachloride, which reacts with a variety of formate esters to yield the corresponding ,-dichloro diethers <1995COFGT(6)35>, has recently been used successfully for the conversion (Scheme 5) of methyl formate <1996ZOR1186> and diphenyl carbonate <1996AJC1261>.

Oxalyl difluoride treated with ethyl ester of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid has afforded ethoxy-difluoroacetyl fluoride in a moderate yield (Scheme 6) <2002JFC(113)97>. Oxalyl difluoride has also been used in reaction leading to the ring-opening in perfluorinated (methyl)oxiranes (Scheme 6) <1995JFC(75)163>. Perfluorinated (methyl)oxiranes when treated with several fluorinating agents gave appropriate derivatives of perfluorinated alkoxy acetyl fluorides in moderate-to-good yields (Scheme 7) <1996T9755, 2002JFC(114)51, 1999ZPK(72)425>. The use of ammonium- and phosphonium perfluorocyclobutane ylides, prepared with perfluorocyclobutene and tertiary amines or phosphines as a masked fluorine anion source, has been demonstrated in several reactions <1996T9755>.

A new synthetic procedure for the preparation of perfluoro(alkoxyalkanoyl) fluorides, precursors of perfluorinated vinyl ether monomers, from nonfluorinated alkoxyalcohols has been developed. The desired perfluoro(alkoxyalkanoyl) fluoride can be obtained from its hydrocarbon counterpart alcohol and an available perfluoroacyl fluoride as is shown (Scheme 9) <2001JFC(112)109>. Transformation of benzaldehydes to difluoromethoxybenzenes using xenon difluoride is enhanced by silicon tetrafluoride <1999JFC(98)163>. It was also found that a relatively new reagent namely bromine trifluoride converts aliphatic nitriles into trifluoromethyl group when a neighboring carboxylic moiety is present. In the case of ketonitrile, a participation of the internal nucleophilic oxygen in attacking the nitrile carbon was also observed <2001JFC(111)161–165>. F F3C

(v) From alkoxyhaloalkenes Addition of fluorine to the double bond in alkoxyfluoroalkenes has not been reported in reviews yet. It can be achieved using some fluorinating agents like hydrogen fluoride, boron trifluoride, or cobalt trifluoride to afford products, in which former alkene substituents are perfluorated while alkoxy groups do not contain additional fluorine atoms. Yields of the products depend both on the fluorinating agent and reaction conditions (Scheme 10) <1996JOC9605, 2000MI(3)343>. Preparation of alkoxydi(tri or tetra)chloroalkanes by addition of dry hydrogen chloride or dry chlorine to alkoxychloroalkenes has already been discussed <1995COFGT(6)35>. More recent reports on chlorination or bromination of alkoxyhaloalkenes have not been located.

(vi) From haloalkenes The addition of primary alcohols to halogenated alkenes proceeds rapidly in the presence of metal alkoxides, giving the corresponding alkoxyhaloalkanes in high yields <1995JFC(74)273, 1997AG136, 2000JFC(102)363>. Also a variety of primary and tertiary alkyl hypohalides are added at low temperatures affording respective addition products in high yields <1995JFC(74)199>.

Epoxidation of chloroalkenes is a convenient route to ,-dichlorooxiranes—useful intermediates in the enantioselective synthesis of azido- and aminoacids. Perfluoroalkenes react with sulfur trioxide to give cyclic perfluoro-2--sulfones in excellent yields. Perfluoroalkenes also react with halogen monofluorosulfates to yield both 2-haloalkylfluoroalkyl fluorosulfates and vicinal bis(halosulfonyloxy)fluoroalkanes <1995COFGT(6)35>. A series of nucleophiles was treated with [1,1,2,4,4,5,7,7,8,8,9,9,9-tridecafluoromethyl3,6-dioxanon-1-ene] as a representative of perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ethers). All the reactions were completely regioselective with the nucleophilic attack on the terminal carbon atom. Reactions of hydroxy compounds, thiols, and sec-amines afford the desired products, while butyllithium, tributylphosphane, or complex hydrides cause displacement of vinylic fluorine (Scheme 13) <2002JFC(117)149>.

Substitution predominates over elimination and appropriate products are formed in moderate to good yields (Scheme 14) <1997KGS(33)967, 1998T4849, 1999KFZ(33)40, 2000JFC(102)369, 2000JFC(105)129, 2001JFC(107)89, 2001JMC2869, 2002T4077, 2002TL7353>.

A highly selective exchange of chlorine by fluorine atom in trichloromethyl group of hexafluoroisopropyl trichloromethyl ether, using dichloroacetyl fluoride, has been observed. The use of antimony pentachloride in a similar process has also been reported <1999JFC(94)1>.

A synthesis of chiral enantiomerically pure chlorofluoromethyl tetrafluoroethyl ethers was described. The starting racemic trichloromethyl ether was subjected to fluorination with antimony trifluoride– bromine giving dichlorofluoromethyl ether in 51% yield. Irradiation of the latter with UV light in 2-propanol afforded racemic ether in 49% yield. Application of the above conditions to enantiomerically pure (R) and (S) ethers gave the target ethers respectively with only a very little erosion of the enantiomeric excess (ee). The importance of the latter result comes from the following: volatile halogenated chiral ethers are often used as anesthetics; in common with many other chiral pharmaceuticals, the optical antipodes can differ in pharmacological profile (Scheme 18) <1995JOC1319>.

The compounds are usually prepared either from 1,3-dioxolanes or from o-formates using a variety of halogenating agents. More recently one unusual example of the synthesis has been reported. Fluorosulfonic acid and sulfur dichloride reacting with trifluoromethyl trifluorovinyl ether yielded a product containing rests of both reagents added to the starting alkene. The products contain a tetracoordinated carbon atom bearing one halogen and two oxygen atoms (Scheme 19) <1996IZV(7)1745>. It appears that no further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of <1995COFGT(6)35>. SCl2, HSO3F, 30–35 °C

Trifluoromethylation of organic halides with FO2SCF2CF2OCF2CO2K in DMF at 45 C was reported <1996JFC(78)177>. -Chlorinated--fluorinated sulfides are synthesized in good yields by nucleophilic fluorination of the corresponding dichlorosulfides. It can be achieved, e.g., with Et3N–3HF in refluxing acetonitrile <1996TL2413, 1997T12565>.

A mechanism of the substitution had been under discussion pointing to both a carbene and SN2 type character. Since then many new syntheses of dihaloalkyl sulfides have been published. Such methane derivatives like difluorodiiodomethane, chlorodifluoromethane, trifluoro-, and trichloromethanes were applied as starting materials. It appears from these reports that the carbene mechanism predominates.

Similar results (the exchange of sulfur atom by two fluorine atoms) were achieved using tetrabutylammonium–hydrogen fluoride complex in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide (Scheme 51) <1999BCJ805> or by treating dithioester with bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminosulfur trifluoride in the presence of antimony(III) fluoride (Scheme 51) <2000JOC4830>.

(b) From ortho-trithioesters. In 1998, Japanese chemists published two papers on synthesis of ,-difluoroalkyl sulfides from ortho-trithioesters. The use of Et2SF3 led to the formation of the desired sulfide in a very low yield <1998BCJ2687>. In contrast to that, the same authors achieved very good results of difluorination, applying tetrabutylammonium–hydrogen fluoride complex in the presence of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (Scheme 52) <1998BCJ1939>.

(vi) From alkenes The first report on synthesis of dichloroalkyl sulfides via chloroalkenes was probably published in 1958. Since then additions of thiols or disulfides to alkenes have been reported several times <1995COFGT(6)35>. In the last few years haloalkenes became rather common substrates in syntheses of dihaloalkyl sulfides. Several haloalkenes such as tetrafluoroethene, chlorotrifluoroethene, alkoxytrifluoroethene, 1,1,2-trifluoroalkenes, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-difluoroethene, and 1,1-difluorethene were used in reactions with thiols, disulfides, or other sulfur compounds to yield difluoroalkyl sulfides.

Novel sulfides, sulfones, and fluorovinyl ethers were prepared using tetrafluoroethylene as the only fluorinated substrate. Addition of thiole sodium salts and carbon dioxide to tetrafluoroethylene, followed by dimethylsulfate, provided corresponding methyl sulfide-esters. Reduction of the sulfide-esters by sodium borohydride gave sulfide-alcohols. Oxidation of the sulfide-esters with HOF in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of the corresponding sulfone-esters. Conversion of the sulfide-alcohols to their sodium salts with sodium hydride in diglyme, followed by the addition to tetrafluoroethylene, provided sulfidetrifluorovinyl ethers. The latter readily co-polymerized with tetrafluoroethylene to give higher molecular weight co-polymers (Scheme 58) <1999JFC(93)93>.

Tetracoordinated carbon atoms bearing two halogens and one tellurium function (R1CHal2TeR2)

Among compounds described in this section only perfluoroalkyl tellurides and additionally ditellurides have been well known for more than ten years. Other compounds of this class have hardly been reported and without details of their preparation or yields obtained. The 1990s have brought about more details concerning preparations of difluoroalkyl tellurides. A general route to these compounds involves the reaction of dialkyl tellurides with bis(trifluoromethyl) cadmium or trifluoromethylzinc bromide performed in the presence of acetonitrile and boron trifluoride <1995COFGT(6)35>. Some advances that recently have occurred in this area are presented here. Unfortunately, the examples concern only syntheses of perfluoroalkyl derivatives of tellurium. Bis(pentafluoroethyl)telluride was obtained by the treatment of pentafluoroiodoethane with tellurium in the presence of copper metal at a very low pressure and an elevated temperature. Bis(pentafluoroethyl)ditellurid was prepared in a high yield under similar conditions using bis(pentafluoroethyl)mercury as the starting material (Scheme 65) <1996JCS(D)4463>.

6.02.2.1

Halogen and Nitrogen Derivatives: General Considerations

Compounds of this class are somewhat unstable, being in equilibrium with the corresponding isomeric haloiminium salts. The equilibrium between isomeric forms depends on N-substituents. Electron-withdrawing substituents shift the equilibrium to haloalkylamines. This dynamic balance has been discussed in several papers and reviews <1995COFGT(6)35>.

6.02.2.1.1

Tetracoordinated carbon atoms bearing two halogens and one nitrogen function

Similar to COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)35>, examples described here refer to compounds for which the equilibrium is probably shifted to covalent species. Probably the first compound reported as N-(dichloromethyl)-N,N-dimethylamine in US patent in 1955 did not satisfy these requirements <1955USP2854458>.

(i) From imines The addition of dihalocarbenes to imines was and still is a route of choice for synthesis of heterocycles like 2,2-dihaloaziridines. No further advances have been noticed in this field since the publication of COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)35>.

Functions Containing Halogens and Any Other Elements

(ii) From amines or hydroxylamines Several halogenation methods have been applied to tertiary or secondary amines or alkylamino derivatives of other compounds. Only some of the routes lead to high yields of aminodihaloalkyl products. Just as superior fluorination involves the use of sulfur tetrafluoride, chlorination involves the use of molecular chlorine. The methods can be applied to perhalogenation of both tertiary and secondary amines. In the latter case the halogen atom also replaces N-hydrogen <1995COFGT(6)35>. Molecular fluorine was used for perfluorination of triethylamine at a low temperature (Equation (37)) <1999JFC(94)157>. F2, –35 to –20 °C, 14 h

A common electrochemical approach usually affords mixtures difficult to separate and leads to low yields of the desired compounds. Some exceptions to this general rule are known. While fluorination of N-ethyl-N-isopropyl amine under electrochemical conditions leads to a very low yield of the corresponding perfluorinated compound, N-(n-butyl)-N-methylamine under similar conditions affords a high yield of its perfluorinated derivative (Scheme 68) <2000JFC(106)35>.

Some advances that have occurred in this area since the publication of <1995COFGT(6)35> are reported here. N,N-Dimethyl-,-difluorobenzylamine was prepared in a good yield from N,N-dimethylbenzthioamide by its fluorination with bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminosulfur trifluoride in the presence of antimonium trichloride (Scheme 71) <2000JOC4830>.

Yields are excellent. Other methods of synthesis of compounds of this class were also reported, being applied to particular cases <1995COFGT(6)35>. The treatment of acetonitrile with hydrogen bromide for 12 days has afforded N-(,-dibromoethyl)-acetamidine, probably as the result of electrophilic addition of two molecules of hydrogen bromide to cyano group, followed by nucleophilic addition of the intermediate dibromoethylamine to another molecule of acetonitrile (Equation (45)) <1998IZV(11)2274>.

(vii) From haloalkenes and haloalkanes The addition of secondary amines to perhalogenated ethenes results in the formation of the corresponding N,N-dialkyl-N-(tetrahalogenoethyl)amines <1995JFC(73)267, 1998JCR(M)301>. In a similar way, though under photochemical conditions, N-iodo derivatives of secondary amines react. The iodine atom is present in the products. Other, less general methods, were reported too in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)35>. Since then some new examples of known methods and new approaches to the synthesis of dihaloalkylamines from haloalkenes have been reported. For example: tetrafluoroethene reacts slowly with dimethylamine at room temperature to afford dimethyl-tetrafluoroethylamine in 90% yield (Equation (47)) <2001JFC(109)25>. F

No further advances have been noted in this field since that publication.

When the nitrogen functions are amino groups, compounds of this class are unstable and all attempts to prepare them end in the formation of corresponding haloiminium salts. Exceptions are halodiazirines. Many examples of synthesis of these compounds have recently been reported. All the examples employ amidines as starting materials. Yields of halodiazirines vary from low to high.

Fluorodiazirines can be prepared directly from amidines (Equation (53)) <1996JA10307> or from the corresponding chloro- or bromodiazirines. The second approach seems to produce better yields of the fluoroderivatives (Scheme 77) <2001JA2628>. N

Usually chloro- or bromodiazirines are produced in higher yields than fluorodiazirines obtained by halooxidation of the same starting amidines. Preparation of benzylchloro- and benzylfluorodiazirines from benzylamidine can serve as an example <1997TL7049, 1998JOC3010>. In recent years the formation of chlorodiazirines with a variety of alkyl or arylalkyl substituents has been reported, mainly by Moss et al. Conditions of the reactions are disclosed in the schemes (Schemes 78 and 79) <2001TL8923, 1999TL5101, 1999CC467, 1997TL4379> and in the equations (Equation (54)–(57)) <1996TL279, 1996JA10307, 1999JA5940, 2001OL1439>.

(i) Tetracoordinated carbon atoms bearing one halogen and two nitro groups (RCHal(NO2)2) The preparation of this type of compounds was widely reviewed and discussed. They can be synthesized by halogenation of salts of dinitroalkane anions using elemental halogens, perchloryl fluorine, or hydrogen halides. Anions of halogenodinitroalkanes easily undergo further transformations, e.g., addition to aldehydes. It seems that no further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of COFGT <1995COFGT(6)35>.

A few more examples of the most common syntheses disclosing detailed conditions were reported in chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>. A few years ago a review was published covering preparation and reactivity of perfluoroalkyl and difluoroalkyl silanes <1997CRV757>. Two following references cited there appertain to difluorosilanes <1995SL717, 1997JA1572>. 6.02.3.1.1

Dichlorocarbene generated from phenyl(bromodichloromethyl)mercury adds to a variety of silanes, giving the corresponding dichloromethyl silanes <1995COFGT(6)35>. 6.02.3.1.2

Other additions to silanes

Addition of bromine to alkynyl silanes results in an almost quantitative formation of tetrabromoalkyl silanes. Also addition of methylmagnesium bromide to trichlorosilyldichloromethane leads to the formation of trimethylsilyldichloromethane. Photochemical addition of the chlorosilylradical to tetrafluoroethene affords a very high yield of the corresponding adduct. Some of the reported examples concern syntheses of systems containing silicon, halogen, and chalcogen (oxygen or sulfur) at the same carbon atom. Such syntheses can be accomplished, for example, starting from (methylthiomethyl)trimethyl silane <1995COFGT(6)35>. 6.02.3.1.3

Substitution of silanes by haloalkyl derivatives

Electrochemical silylation of chlorodifluoromethyl enol ethers affords the new functionalized difluoromethyl allyl silanes on a preparative scale in good yields. These silanes react as difluoromethyl anion equivalents with electrophiles, e.g., aldehydes (Scheme 84) <1998TL3137>.

The interaction of this system with organic electrophiles, such as benzoyl and benzensulfonyl chlorides, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, or activated ketones, leads to the formation of the corresponding condensation products in 24–62% yield (Scheme 85) <2001TL3267>.

Haloalkyllithium compounds, due to their unusual reactivity and their ability to deliver halomethylene group to required acceptors, are commonly used in several syntheses. Very critical aspects of their use concern solvents and reaction temperatures. Metallation of terminal iodofluoroalkanes with methyllithium at 78 C in THF, followed by the addition of sulfur dioxide, results in the formation of a lithium difluoroalkylsulfinate via intermediate organolithium species chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>. Rosnati, reviewing results achieved in fluoroorganic chemistry up to 1995, <1996T1> pointed to the addition of perfluoroalkyllithium to imines reported earlier by Uno et al. <1988CL729> and <1992JOC1504>.

Transmetallation reaction between Grignard reagents and perhalogenated systems is a versatile route to compounds of this class; e.g., arylmagnesium bromides react with 1-iodoperfluoroalkanes at low temperatures to produce perfluoroalkylmagnesium bromides, which can be used further without separation chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>. Applications of perfluoroalkyl Grignard reagents (CnH2n+1MgX) in the synthesis of some fluorinated amines and diamines were reported by Katritzky et al. <1997TL7015>. Perfluoro-n-octylmagnesium bromide can be prepared with 1-bromo-1H-heptadecafluorooctane and hexylmagnesium bromide in THF at 60 C in 30 min <2001JOC1316>. The reaction of heptafluoropropylmagnesium bromide with sym-ketodibenzo-16-crown-5 at 78 to 20 C in Et2O produced the corresponding alcohol in 60% yield <2000JHC1337>. Perfluoroalkenyl ketones were obtained by reaction of perfluorometallic reagents with acyl silanes. Long-chain F-alkylations of sugar derivatives were carried out with F-organomagnesium bromides prepared in situ from F-alkyl iodides and ethylmagnesium bromide according to the method reported by Burton and Yang <1998T189>, or with F-alkyltrimethyl silane <1989PGE380554> in order to compare the influence of the method on the stereoselectivity.

Halogen and Copper Derivatives

The reaction of copper metal with 1-iodoperfluoroalkanes at an elevated temperature is known to produce perfluoroalkylcopper(I). No further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>.

Halogen and Silver Derivatives

An equilibrium between the mixtures of di(perfluoroalkyl)cadmium(II) with silver nitrate and forming di(perfluoroalkyl)silver(I) anion was studied in dimethyl formamide and triethylamine at a low temperature (Equation (61)) <1997JOM79>. Equilibrium

The formation of organometallic compounds, bearing ,-dihaloalkyl groups, in reactions of silver trifluoroacetate with perhalogenated ethene, promoted by caesium fluoride, was reported earlier. No further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>.

6.02.6.5

Halogen and Zinc Derivatives

A review on Reformatsky syntheses was published a few years ago <1999JOM215>. In this review the use of perfluoroalkylzinc by Kitazume and Ishikawa was mentioned <1985JA5186>. No further reports have been found in this area since the publication of chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>.

6.02.6.6

Halogen and Cadmium Derivatives

Cadmium metal inserts rather easily between carbon and halogen atoms in haloalkanes to yield organocadmium reagents <1995COFGT(6)35>. The synthetic methods for preparing compounds bearing substituent such as CF2-Y were reviewed. Among others an example of the synthesis via cadmium intermediate was reported (Scheme 87) <2000CAR119>. Bis(perfluoroalkyl)cadmium reacts reversibly in organic solvents like dimethyl formamide or triethylamine at a low temperature with silver nitrate to yield bis(perfluoroalkyl)silver anion. An

Halogen and Mercury Derivatives

Mercuric fluoride adds readily to perhaloalkenes at elevated temperatures. Perhalodialkylmercury compounds are formed in the reaction. There have not been any further advances in this field since the publication of chapter 6.02 <1995COFGT(6)35>.

6.02.6.8

Halogen and Tin Derivatives

A few typical approaches to ,-dihaloalkyltin derivatives were reported earlier. They involve, for example, insertion of tin(II) chloride or fluoride into iodoperfluoroalkanes, the addition of dialkyltin hydrides to perfluorinated alkenes or transmetallation reactions <1995COFGT(6)65> Now some more recent examples of syntheses of ,-dihaloalkyltin derivatives are presented. The reaction of perfluoropropylmagnesium chloride (obtained from perfluoropropyl iodide and propylmagnesium chloride), with tin(IV) chloride was reported to give tetra(perfluoropropyl)stannane. In a similar manner perfluoropropylmagnesium chloride reacts with other tin(IV) derivatives. Yields of products are from poor to very good depending on the starting tin species (Scheme 88) <1995JOM131>.

6.02.6.10

Halogen and Ruthenium Derivatives

Compounds described here have not been reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)35>. In conjunction with two other independent minor reviews of organometallic main group fluorides <1997MI351> and f-block fluorides <1997JFC(86)121>, an extensive review appeared in 1997 on compounds containing carbonmetalfluorine fragments of d-block metals <1997CRV3425>. For the purpose of the reviews the term ‘‘organometallic fluoride’’ was used strictly to describe compounds containing fluorinemetal and carbonmetal bonds with the same metal atom. Nevertheless, at least a few examples included in the latter review refer to preparation of compounds, which contain such structural fragment as MCF2H where M is Ru <1997JA3185, 1994IC1476>. Me3SiCF3 reacts smoothly with RuHF(CO)(P(Bu-t)2Me) forming Me3SiF and a six-coordinated product where -F migration occurred in the proposed reaction intermediate. A fluoride atom abstraction using Me3SiOTf leads to an unusual rearrangement, in which coordinated hydride migrates to the carbene, forming CF2H fragment (Scheme 89). Experimental evidences suggest that this rearrangement occurs by a mechanism involving dissociation of one phosphine ligand. The CF2 group is readily converted to CO by the addition of water.

Perfluorometallacyclic compound Ni(PEt3)2(CF2)4 reacts irreversibly with BF3OEt2 complex affording unprecedented perfluorometallacycle with a phosphonium ylide structure. A reaction with sequence involving extraction of fluoride ions from the coordinated perfluorometallacycle followed by quenching the carbene species by migration of a phosphine ligand from the metal to carbon is likely (Equation (62)) <1988OM1642> acc. to <1997CRV3425>. +

INTRODUCTION

As in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67>, this chapter covers synthesis of compounds of general formula RC(X)(Y)Z where each of X, Y, and Z are independently linked through O, S, Se, and Te atoms. No compound of this type containing Te atoms has been reported in the literature, so only compounds containing O, S, and Se are discussed. In some cases older principal articles omitted in the basic work are included. Since 1993, no general review focused on preparation of the structural types covered by this chapter has appeared.

Methods for the Preparation of Carboxylic Ortho-esters and Related Compounds Ortho-esters from 1,1,1-trihaloalkanes, a,a-dihaloethers and a-haloacetals

The extended Williamson synthesis of ortho-esters by nucleophilic displacement of three halogen atoms in 1,1,1-trihaloalkanes by sodium alkoxides has been used rarely owing to low yields <1995COFGT(6)67>. However, 3-chloro-2-trimethoxymethyl- or triethoxymethylpyrrole derivatives (2, R = Me, Et) have been prepared <1999T4133> from 3,3-dichloro-2-trichloromethyl-1-pyrroline 1 and 10 equiv. of the corresponding sodium alkoxide in 97% and 79% yields, respectively (Equation (1)).

Nucleophilic displacement of the halogen atoms of ,-dihaloethers (e.g., 2,2-dichloro2-methoxyacetate <1995TL1827>) also gives ortho-esters. Thus, L-dimethyl tartrate was treated with phenylmagnesium bromide to give optically active tetraol 3, which reacted with the above mentioned dihaloether to afford the ortho-ester 4 used as a chiral auxiliary in the synthesis of -hydroxy acids (Equation (2)).

The resulting imino and iminium triflates afforded ortho-esters 8 by reaction with alcohols (Scheme 2, R1 = e.g., Ph(CH2)2, R2 and R3 = H or alkyl, R4 = alkyl).

Ortho-esters from carboxylic acids and derivatives

Bicyclic ortho-esters reviewed in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67> have been repeatedly used as suitable protecting groups for polyfunctionalized carboxylic acids. A new method of utilizing ortho-esters 15 both for protection and asymmetric synthesis has been developed <1997PAC639,

1997T16575, 2003CC776>. The compounds can be prepared from oxiranes 13 using zirconocene and AgClO4 in CH2Cl2 at mild conditions (room temperature, 15 min). Mechanistically, this ortho-ester formation proceeds via dioxacarbenium ion intermediate 14 (Scheme 4).

Similar conversion of a series of peracetylated sugars into the corresponding 1,2-ortho-esters via in situ generation of glycosyl iodides promoted by I2/Et3SiH followed by addition of the respective alcohol has also been reported <2003TL7863>. Formation of oleanolyl 1,2-O-ortho-acetates instead of expected glycosides was studied under the conditions of Ko¨nigs–Knorr glycosidation <2001M839>. Thus, acetobromo sugars with diphenylmethyl-oleanolate in the presence of drierite, Ag2O, and iodine in dry chloroform afforded ortho-esters 19, where R = OAc, peracetylated - or -D-glucopyranosyl, or -D-galactopyranosyl, in ca. 30% yields.

Spiro-ortho-esters (SOE) of general formula 25, easily accessible from lactones by reaction with epibromohydrin (R = CH2Br) and further derivatization, undergo cationic polymerization. While at high temperatures (>100 C) a double ring-opening process to give poly(ether esters) 26 takes place, at low temperatures (<40 C) single ring opening of the ether ring to give poly(cyclic ortho-esters) (27) occurs (Scheme 7) <1994MM2380, 1997MI241, 1999JPS(A)2551>. This polymerization is reversible and the obtained polymers can be readily converted into the original monomers by treatment with acid catalysts at ambient temperature.

Ortho-esters from dioxacarbenium salts

Preparation of ortho-esters from carboxylic acid derivatives often proceeds via dioxacarbenium cation intermediates (cf. Section 6.03.2.1.3). The literature concerning dioxacarbenium tetrafluoroborates was duly reviewed in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67>. Transformations requiring photoinduced electron transfer process involving dioxacarbenium ions will be discussed here. Electron transfer from acetonides, e.g., 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane 28, to the singlet excited state of benzene 1,2,4,5-tetracarbonitrile followed by fragmentation of the donor radical cation gave methyl radical and dioxacarbenium cation 29 <1992JOC3051, 2001T555>, which by hydrolysis formed 2-hydroxyethyl acetate 31 via unstable ortho-acid 30. Methanolysis of 29 led to the formation of ortho-ester 32 (Scheme 8). This method was also applied for polyols and sugars <2001T555>.

Equilibrium polymerization reaction, as was shown in Section 6.03.2.1.3, can be also regarded as a trans-ortho-esterification reaction <1994MM2380, 1997MI241, 1999JPS(A)2551>. A further example of polymerization re-esterification is the reaction of 8-substituted 1,6,10-trioxaspiro[4.5]decane 45 in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate to give poly(cyclic orthoester) 46 as the intermediate (Scheme 10) during polymerization to the corresponding poly(ether esters) <1998JPS(A)2439>.

Functions Containing Three Chalcogens (and No Halogens)

Trans-ortho-esterification reactions of glycerol, 2-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol, or 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol with triethyl ortho-formate, -acetate, and -propionate were carried out at 100–140 C in the presence of an acid catalyst to obtain OBO derivatives <2002MI225>. The best result, a yield of about 90%, was obtained in the reaction of pentaerythritol with triethyl ortho-propionate in diglyme. The bulky OBO ester function has been shown to be a useful protecting group of amino acids e.g., aspartic or glutamic acid, for preventing epimerization at the -carbon and to induce good diastereoselectivities, e.g., in diazomethane cycloadditions <1999JOC8958, 2003MI36>. 1,2,5-Ortho-esters of D-arabinose <2002EJO3864> and a 1,2,6-ortho-ester of mannose <1999TL6423> have been described and their use in the glycosylation reaction has been studied. Tricyclic ortho-esters have been used for regioselective protection of polyalcohols <2000TL4185, 2002CAR(337)2399>. Thus, 4,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol 50 was conveniently prepared via 1,3,5-ortho-ester 49, obtained by transesterification from ortho-formates or -acetates <2001CAR(330)409, 2002MI63> (Scheme 11).

Trithio-ortho-esters from RC(X1)(X2)X3

(i) From 1,1,1-trihaloalkanes This methodology using trihaloalkanes (X1 = X2 = X3 = halogen) was duly covered in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67>. The reaction has been frequently used for preparation of both trialkyl and triaryl trithio-ortho-formates. Usually the reaction is done in the presence of a strong base. However, in the case of polyfluorothiophenol, extensive polymerization was observed under basic conditions. The reaction of pentafluorothiophenol 54 with iodoform in DMF was performed without any base providing tris(pentafluorophenylsulfanyl)methane 55, besides some polymeric products <1971TL2475>. Attempts to improve the reaction of 54 with chloroform and tetrachloromethane by the presence of AlCl3 led mainly to diarylated products 56, together with 57. Only small amounts of the expected triarylated compound 55 were formed <1999JFC(98)17> (Scheme 14). F F

The method was used with various chlorides of aromatic carboxylic acids <1986TL4861, 1997JOC2917>.

6.03.3.1.4

Trithio-ortho-esters from dithia- and trithiacarbenium salts

Addition of thiols or other suitable sulfur nucleophiles to dithia- and trithiacarbenium salts was reviewed in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67>. Regarding the reaction with dithiocarbenium salts, no progress has been made since. Trithiocarbenium salts are often generated from the corresponding trithiocarbonates and their reactions and progress in this field is covered in Section 6.03.3.1.6.

6.03.3.1.5

Trithio-ortho-esters from dithioacetals

The most common procedure converts dithioacetals by deprotonation with a strong base to a metallated intermediate, which upon treatment with a disulfide provides the final trithio-orthoesters. The procedure was summarized in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67>. Similar conditions were also used for the preparation of tris(trifluoromethylsulfanyl)methyl cyanide 66 from 65 using either the corresponding sulfenyl chloride or disulfide <1994CB449> (Equation (11)).

The methodology was later extended to the six-membered 1,3-dithiane 70 and compound 71 was prepared by this method (Scheme 16). When the intermediate anion was treated with an alkylating agent before the quenching, high yields (75–89%) of substituted analogs 72 were obtained. When the mixture was allowed to reach ambient temperature before the quenching, the corresponding thioacetals 73 and 74 were formed <1991CL1315>. i. BuLi, rt ii. H+

Yields of the corresponding dithiolium salts are frequently nearly quantitative. The reduction step is usually done with sodium borohydride and yields are also usually high, very often over 90%. Only very rarely did the borohydride reduction lead to decomposition and use of sodium cyanoborohydride was necessary <1994JOC5324, 2001EJO933>. Compounds 85 are of a great interest since they are intermediates of fulvane derivatives studied as perspective synthetic materials. Besides the mentioned references, there are many others using the same procedure without isolating the 2-alkylsulfanyl-1,3-dithiole intermediates. Some interesting structures, for example crown ether derivative 86 <2001EJO933> and [60]fullerene derivative 87 <2002JMAC2137> have been synthesized by this method. O O

Preparation of Trithio-ortho-esters from Other Trithio-ortho-esters Higher trithio-ortho-esters from trithio-ortho-formate esters

Transformation of trithio-ortho-esters, mainly via the corresponding lithium salts, has become one of the most important methods of preparation of higher trithio-ortho-esters. The lithium salts are usually generated by BuLi at 78 C as described by Seebach <1967AG(E)443, 1969S17, 1972CB487, 1972CB3280>. Selected examples of utilization of such lithium salts are given below.

(i) Alkylation with alkyl halides or triflates Alkylation of LiC(SMe)3 with a wide range of alkyl halides provided good yields of the corresponding trithio-ortho-esters, which were used as intermediates of the synthesis of methyl thiolcarboxylates <1993JCS(P1)2075>. Alkylation of LiC(SMe)3 with 4-bromobutyric acid provided quantitative yield of 5-tris(methylsulfanyl)pentanoic acid <2000JOC235>. Similar alkylation with 1-azido-3-iodopropane led to 91% yield of the corresponding azido derivative, which was used in the synthesis of a reversed thioester analog of acetyl-coenzyme A <1998JA3275>. Nucleophilic displacement of allylic chloride 99 with LiC(SMe)3 at low temperature led to an excellent yield of alkylated trithio-ortho-ester 100, which was utilized as a carboxyl anion equivalent to the synthesis of ester 101 <1994JOC4853> (Scheme 21).

Usually good-to-high yields of the respective hydroxy derivatives 104 are obtained. The formed hydroxy derivatives are either isolated, or in situ oxidized to the corresponding oxo derivatives 105 <2001JOC5822>, or alkylated to their O-alkyl derivatives 106 <1998TL3115>. Hydroxy trithio-ortho-esters 104 are often transformed to various carboxylic acid derivatives e.g., 107 or 108 (Scheme 22) in the following steps. O R

In the case of chiral compounds, the stereoselectivity of this reaction varies <1995BMC1063, 1996JOC6685, 1997JOC3880, 1999SC3841, 2000TL307> and only rarely is one stereoisomer obtained. This is the case when bulky LiC(SPh)3 reacted with protected aldehyde 109 where L-ido derivative 110 was obtained as the only isomer in 92% yield <2000TL307> (Equation (18)).

The ready availability of such adducts combined with the variety of possible transformations of the trithio-ortho-ester unit make the reaction potentially useful. The same reaction with exocyclic derivative 114 provided only 24% yield of the product. However, when the reaction was done in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl), the yield was substantially improved and 75% yield of 115 was obtained (Equation (21)).

(v) Reaction with carboxylic derivatives Tris(alkylsulfanyl)methyllithiums are known to react with both aliphatic <1995JOC6017> and aromatic <1995JOC6017, 1996JOC9572, 1996S467, 2001TL8189, 2002S921> carboxylic acid esters to provide 128. The reports showed that the reaction should be optimized to suppress formation of side products to provide good yields of the desired products. In particular, aromatic derivatives are versatile intermediates in the synthesis of aryl bis(alkylsulfanyl)thioacetates 129 <1997JOC7228, 2002S921>, -ketothioesters 130 <1996S467, 2001TL8189> or -ketoacids 131 <2001TL8189> (Scheme 24). Similar reaction of LiC(SMe)3 with other carboxylic acid derivatives such as acyl chlorides, anhydrides, or thioesters leading to variable yields of identical products have also been described. The yields of the required products were substantially enhanced when N-(methylsulfanyl)phthalimide was used in the work-up procedure <1996JOC9572>.

Hydrolysis afforded trithio-ortho-ester oxides 145 which are unstable at ambient temperature. For unsymmetrical trithiocarbonates 142, a 1:1 mixture of both possible diastereoisomers was obtained. Carbanions 144 can also be trapped by other electrophiles, e.g., iodomethane in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) provided 94% of 146.

From ketene dithioacetals

Intramolecular acid-catalyzed cycloaddition of hydroxysubstituted cyclic ketene dithioacetals was first described by Corey and Beames as a method of lactone protection <1973JA5829>. Though the methodology is undoubtedly important, it was not mentioned in the corresponding chapter of COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)67>. Therefore, some principal older papers will be also reviewed here. Reviews on the ketene dithioacetals are also available <1977S357, 1990S171>. Several useful applications of this cyclization protocol have been described since <1986JA5221, 1992JCS(P1)1901, 1993TL1035, 1993TL1039, 1996S285, 1997JOC9107, 1998JCS(P1)9>. This reaction is a key step frequently used in the synthesis of a range of naturally occurring compounds. Transformation of mevinoline to its homolactone using ketene dithioacetal has been described <1982JOC4750>. This method was also used for the stereoselective synthesis of a range of -alkyl--butyrolactones 210 (Scheme 39). The method was also ˜ modified for the stereoselective synthesis of ,-bis-functionalized -butyrolactones <1993JOC2725>. OH S R

Similarly, the cyclization can also be used for the synthesis of functionalized -lactones with remote asymmetric induction. Acid-catalyzed cyclization of ketene dithioacetals 211 by HCl/ CH2Cl2 gave predominantly the -isomers of the bicyclic dithio-ortho-esters 212 (Equation (42)). Hydrolysis (HgCl2, pH 7) then gave the corresponding lactones <1986JA5221, 1986TL3661>. High yield of spirocyclic compound 214 with acceptable diastereomeric ratio (12:1) was also obtained by acidic cyclization of 213 (Equation (43)). The compound was used as an intermediate of the salinomycin synthesis <1998JCS(P1)9>. A similar procedure was also used in the synthesis of a key synthetic fragment of rapamycin <1996SL903>.

As reported earlier <1993TL2649>, bis-sulfonyl derivative 225 can be easily oxidized to give stereoselectively oxirane 226 (Equation (49)). Similarly, enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure spirocyclic bis-sulfinyl oxiranes 228 (R = Ph, substituted Ph, cyclohexyl) were prepared by stereoselective nucleophilic epoxidation of ketene thioacetal dioxides 227 (Equation (50)). These novel epoxides represent potentially versatile chiral substrates for the preparation of a variety of heterosubstituted carbonyl compounds <1998JOC7128, 2002OL1227>. In these cases, the nucleophilic peroxide attacks the top face of the ketene dithioacetal, whereas the cycloaddition reaction of nitrone mentioned above attacks the opposite face. SO2Me Ph

Similar hetero [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction of 233 and silylketene dithioacetal 234 proceeds at room temperature to give dihydropyran 235 in good yield <2002JOC7303>. Similarly, 233 with alkyne 236 provided 85% yield of the 2:1 adduct 237 as the only isolated product <2002JOC7303> (Scheme 40). It has been established that the ketene dithioacetal group influences the stereospecificity of anodic carbon–carbon bond formation. Earlier similar enol ether enol–ether coupling led to 1:1 mixtures of stereoisomers <1992JA1033>. Anodic oxidation of 238 in the presence of THF led to good yields of one stereoisomer of 239 (Equation (53)). In the case of five-membered product, only the trans-isomer was formed. Alternatively, the six-membered product was established as the cis-isomer. No rational explanation of this fact has been found <2001OL1729>. Bridged bicyclic product 241 was obtained in 75% yield by the same method from 240 <2001T5183>

(Equation (54)). The suggested mechanism includes anodic oxidation leading to the formation of a radical cation from the ketene dithioacetal, which in turn is trapped by the side-chain enol ether. Following trapping by MeOH, loss of a second electron, and a second trapping with MeOH, finally afford the cyclization products with one dithio-ortho-ester group and one acetal group. OMe OMe S

Similarly, the reactions where the initial cation radical is trapped with oxygen nucleophiles were studied. For example, anodic oxidation of ketene dithioacetal 242 in methanol led stereoselectively to 243. This methodology was used also for the synthesis of more substituted compounds 243 and preliminary results of the synthesis of -lactones 244 were mentioned without any data concerning the stereoselectivity <2001OL1729, 2002JA10101> (Equations (55) and (56)).

Functions Containing a Chalcogen and Any Other Heteroatoms Other Than a Halogen

6.04.1.1

Functions Bearing Chalcogen and Nitrogen

Functional groups bearing chalcogen and nitrogen are available by modification of precursors, which contain sp3- or sp2-carbon atoms, via cycloadditions or by other miscellaneous methods. This general order is adhered to throughout this section.

6.04.1.1.1

Functions bearing oxygen and nitrogen

(i) Functions bearing two oxygen and one nitrogen substituent The functional groups containing two ether groups and one nitrogen atom bonded to an sp3carbon atom are named acetalamides. They can be classified as acyclic acetalamides and cyclic acetalamides. This is a large class of organic compounds that is widely used in organic synthesis. (a) From sp3-carbon compounds. Ethyl orthoformate reacts with benzotriazole 1 to give (benzotriazol-1-yl)diethoxymethane 2 in 90% yield <1995H131> (Scheme 1). Diacetalamides such as 2 have been reported as convenient reagents for the syntheses of various organic compounds <1998CR409>. N

A general method for the masked formylation by the electrophilic reagent, viz., 1-(1,3-dioxolanyl-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole 3, has been reported <2000JOC1886>. Similarly to benzotriazole, imidazole 4 has been demonstrated to react with ethyl orthoformate to give diethylacetal 5, which was used for the synthesis of quaternized diethylacetal 6 (Scheme 2) <2002JAP2002105058>.

Treatment of lactams such as 7 with CH(OEt)3 leads to the formation of N-diethoxymethylsubstituted derivatives such as 8 (Scheme 3) <1995S168, 1996S1196>. Similarly, ergoline-active analogs 10 were obtained from substituted indole derivatives 9 <1995AP609>. Building units 13 have been produced by the reaction of compounds 11 and 12. This reaction takes place in the presence of TsOH in 1,4-dioxane at 20 C (Equation (1)) <2002S274>.

Dithialenes, containing the piperidine fragment, were obtained similarly <1997S407>. Bis(alkylthio)carbene has been demonstrated as a novel convenient reagent for organic synthesis <2000T10101>. Bis(alklylthio)carbene 140 was generated from oxadiazoline 139 on heating, similar to dimethoxycarbene 51 generated from 2,2-dimethoxyoxadiazoline 50. Further rapid reaction of bis(alklylthio)carbene 140 with isocyanate 52 leads to the formation of pyrrolin2-one tetrathioacetals 141 (Scheme 17).

Pyrimidine 171 reacts with benzyl bromide to give benzyl-substituted imidazo[1,5-a]-1,3,5triazine 172. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular ring closure at the sulfur atom and leads to the formation of the imidazole ring <1995JMC3558>. Compound 172 is also accessible by the reaction of imidazotriazine 173 with benzyl bromide (Scheme 20). Similarly, S-alkylquinazoline is obtained from benzopyrimidinethione and -dimethylamino-1chloroethane in the presence of a base <2002MI335>. (b) From sp2-carbon compounds.

1-Hydroxybisphosphonates [(R1O)2P(O)]2C(OH)R3 (R1, R2 = H, straight or branched C1–6 alkyl, benzyl, aryl, Na, Ca, Li, K; R3 = C1–10 straight chain or branched alkyl, Ph, benzyl, aryl, amido, organothio, alkoxy) and substituted hydroxybisphosphonates were obtained by the reaction of anions of dialkyl phosphites with acid halides. It is preferred that this reaction takes place at a low temperature in the presence of a base so that rearrangement to dialkyl(dialkoxyphosphinyl)phosphates is minimized. Thus, KN(SiMe3)2-mediated reaction of (EtO)2P(O)H with hydrocinnamoyl chloride produced 60% of [(EtO)2P(O)]2C(OH)CH2CH2Ph along with 9% of [(EtO)2P(O)]2CHCH2CH2Ph, and 3% of ester <1996PIAWO9633199>. The feasibility of synthesizing -hydroxy -alkyl-/aryl methylenebisphosphonates via Grignard addition to tetraalkyl carbonylbisphosphonates was shown; and some current and potential therapeutic uses of bisphosphonates and phosphonocarboxylates were summarized <1999PS313>. Synthesis of acylaminoalkanediphosphonates 239 with 41–87% yields was achieved by the reaction of acyl halides 237 with aminoalkyldiphosphonates 238 <2002MIP1333210>.

The photochemical reaction of TNM 51 in CH2Cl2 or MeCN with styrene (R = H), 4-methylstyrene (R = Me), 4-chlorostyrene (R = Cl), and 4-acetoxystyrene (R = OAc) 85 afforded two stereo isoxazolidines, 5-(4-R-phenyl)-2-[1-(4-R-phenyl)-2-nitro-ethoxy]-3,3-dinitroisoxazolidines 88, 3-nitro-5R-phenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole 2-oxides 87, and 1-(4-R-phenyl)-2-nitroethanones 86 (Scheme 18) <1998ACS751>. The selection of the olefin to form the nitronic ester 91 in the reaction with TNM 2 is a crucial factor in the synthesis of isoxazolidines (92, 94, and 96). Bicyclobutylidene 89 is the compound for this purpose. The compound 89 reacts with TNM even at 0 C; the reaction initially gives a charge transfer complex, which can be transformed into nitronic ester 91, which does not enter into 1,3dipolar cycloaddition with a second molecule of olefin 89 at low temperatures (0–5 C). Only keeping of the reaction mixture at room temperature resulted in 3,3-dinitroisoxazolidines 92 (Scheme 19) <2002DOK210>. The reaction of TNM 51 and bicyclobutylidene 89 with methylenecyclobutane 93 (R = H) or methylenecyanocyclobutane 5 (R = CN) afforded the corresponding isoxazolidines 94 in 46% and 66% yields, respectively. The olefins 95 containing electronwithdrawing groups were also reacted with 91 to yield the 3,3-dinitroisoxazolidines 96 in 24–59% yields (Scheme 19) <2002DOK210>. The aryl-O N,N-azoxy-,-dinitroalkanes 98 were prepared by nitration of the corresponding N-phenyl-N0 -(-hydroxyiminoalkyl)diazene N-oxides 97 in 60% yields (Scheme 20) <1994MI226>.

When the phosphaalkynes 99 were heated at 130 C, or at 180 C in a Schlenk pressure tube, in the absence of a solvent, complex mixtures of products were formed from which the respective tetraphosphacubanes 100 could be isolated in modest yields (8% and 2%) (Scheme 21) <1994S1337>. At higher temperatures for the cyclooligomerization, 101 were formed in 7% and 2% yields, respectively. Tetraphosphacubanes 100 could also be prepared from the zirconecene complexes 102, obtained from 103 and 99, in higher yields (50–80%) (Scheme 21) <1994S1337>.

The treatment of t-butylphosphaalkynes with bis(cyclooctatetraene)zirconium 104 and hafnium complexes 105 afforded 106 <1995AG(E)81> and 107 <1995AG(E)2227> in 81% yield, which were then demetallated with hexachloroethane to give 1,3,5,7-tetraphosphabarrelene 108 in 88% yield (Scheme 22) <1995AG(E)81, 1995AG(E)2227>. Tetraphosphabarrelenes 110 were formed nearly quantitatively by heating a pentane solution of 2,4,6-tri-t-butyl-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene with phosphaacetylenes. Analogous reaction of triphosphabenzene with di(isopropylamino)phosphaacetylene 109 led to an unexpected product 111 in quantitative yield (Scheme 23) <1998MI2071>. The compound 109 reacted with the sterically highly substituted t-butylacetylene only at temperatures above 100 C to yield tricyclic compound 112 in 76% yield (Scheme 23) <2000S529>. The unusual reaction of t-butylphosphaalkyne with diethyl phosphite 113 at room temperature in the absence of solvent produced the primary phosphine 114 (Scheme 24) <1996ZOB522>. The phosphaalkynes undergo spirocyclotrimerization with incorporation of the corresponding Lewis acid to form the betaines 115, which was then treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the presence of t-butylphosphaacetylene as a trapping reagent to afford two isomeric phosphaalkynecyclotetramers having cage structures 118 and 119 (Scheme 25) <1996CB489>. The reaction most probably proceeds by way of the triphosphabenzenes 116 and 117, which cannot be isolated as such but can only be trapped by a homo-Diels–Alder reaction. When, however, the spirocyclic zwitterion 115 was treated in the absence of a trapping reagent with an excess of DMSO at 78 C, the tetra(t-butyl)hexaphosphadecadiene 121 could be isolated in 22% yield

The reaction of the selenodiphospholes 131, which could be obtained from the treatment of phosphaalkynes with an excess of elemental selenium in toluene in the presence of an equimolar of Et3N, with phosphaalkynes led to the formation of a pair of regioisomers 132 and 133. The removal of the selenium from the cage afforded a mixture of the tetraphosphabisprismane 135, and the valance isomeric tetraphosphasemibullvalane 134 in a ratio of 11:3 (Scheme 29) <2001HAC406>. 134 undergoes a slow and thermal isomerization leading to the bisprismane 135. Triphosphabicyclo[1.1.1]pentane 138 was obtained in 36% yield from the reaction of phosphavinyl Grignard reagent 136 with PCl3 in a 3:1 stoichiometry. This is presumably formed via the bisphosphavinyl phosphorus intermediate 137, which undergoes facile phosphavinyl coupling reaction to give the bicyclic product 138 <2002MI1209>.

The reaction of arsaalkene 141 with the lithium salt of tri(trimethylsilyl)phosphine 142 in the presence of CoCl2 gave tetraarsanecubane 140a (M¼As) in 35% yield, which on reaction with Fe2(CO)9 in THF afforded 140b (M¼As+-Fe(CO)4) in 46% yield <1993AG86, 1993AG(E)83>. The arsacubane 140a reacts at room temperature with ethyl triflate to give the As-ethylated arsonium salt 140c. A similar reaction of 140a with benzyl triflate, generated in situ via PhCH2Cl/AgOTf, gave 140d, the As-benzylated salt of 140a. Low-temperature protonation of 140a with FSO3H/SO2 produces a mixture of arsonium ions 140e, resulting from mono- and diprotonation (Scheme 31) <1994HAC503>.

When a toluene solution of imidazol-2-ylidene was added to a solution of 197 at room temperature, the adduct 198 formed immediately in high yield (80%) (Scheme 49) <2000OM3751>. The reaction of (E)-2-chlorodimethylstannyl-3-diethylboryl-2-pentene 199 <1986ZNB890>, which could be obtained via 1,1-organoboration of 1-alkynyl compounds 202, with the C-lithiated imidazoles gave a mixture of 200 and 201, which are present in the beginning as a 1:1 mixture (Scheme 50) <1995JOM197>.

Treatment of 1,4,5-trimethylimidazole with triethylborane at 0 C led to 3-(triethylborane)-1,4,5trimethylimidazole 206 in quantitative yield. The treatment of 206 with n-BuLi was expected to yield a carbene 207, surprisingly the rearranged compound lithium triethyl(1,4,5-trimethylimidazolyl)borate 208 was obtained in 77% yield (Scheme 52) <1998MI843>. Methylation of 208 with MeI was carried out in THF at 30 C affording 209 in 69% yield. The reaction of 1,4,5-trimethylimidazole with BH3THF at 0 C afforded the air-sensitive compound 3-borane-1,4,5-trimethylimidazole 210, which was deprotonated with n-BuLi to give 3-borane-1,4,5-trimethylimidazol-2-ylidene 211.

The treatment of 1,3-bis(2,4,6trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene with an equimolar amount of LiGaH4 in Et2O afforded the gallium complex 228 in 89% yield (Scheme 55) <2000OM4852>. The treatment of the potentially chelating reagent bis-carbene 1,2-ethylene-3,30 -di-t-butyl-diimidazol-2,20 -diylidene 225 with GaH3NMe3 in a 1:1 or 1:2 stoichiometry led to the 2:1 adduct 229, which is moderately thermally stable compound (Scheme 55) <2002JCS(D)1992>. The unusual reaction of 230 with 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene in toluene gave complex 233 in 54% yield (Scheme 56) <2002JOM487>. A possible mechanism for the formation of 233 involves the initial displacement of a [C5H5] and formation of an unstable adduct of the decamethylgallocenium cation 231, which undergoes reaction with the [C5H5] counter ion via hydride transfer to form tetramethylfulvane 232 and 233.

Treatment to an ethereal solution of InH3NMe3, generated in situ from LiInH4 with 2 equiv. of imidazol-2-ylidene at 30 C led to a moderate yield (42%) of 236, which is an extremely air sensitive material (Scheme 57) <1998CC869, 1998JCS(D)3249>. The treatment of LiInH4 with 2 equiv. of imidazol-2-ylidenes also gave 236 in 38% yield.

Treatment of an ethereal solution of either LiInH4 or InH3NMe3 with 1 equiv. of the 1,3dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene 237 at 78 C resulted in the formation of indium trihydride complex 238 in high yield (Scheme 58) <2000OM4852>. Compound 238 displays a remarkable thermal stability. In solution the products of decomposition depends on the solvent used. In toluene decomposition results in liberation of the free carbene and deposition of indium metal, in CH2Cl2, chloride abstraction occurs from the solvent to yield 240. The reaction of InH2ClNMe3 with an equimolar amount of 237 afforded 239 in 65% yield. The reaction of 0.5 or 1 equiv. of the 1,3dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene 237 with InBr in toluene at 25 C led to the deposition of indium metal

The LiBr-phosphoranylidine carbenoid 339 was obtained by treatment of dibromo species 338 <1999JA5953> with 1 equiv. of n-BuLi at 78 C. In typical carbanion fashion, 339 reacted with water to give the bis(methylene)phosphorane 341 (Scheme 86) <2002OM4919>. The reaction of the dibromo compound 338 with 2 equiv. of n-BuLi afforded 340, which was then quenched with water or MeI to furnish the product 342 in 96% yield. The dimethylated bis(methylene)phosphorane 342b was not stable and rearranged within days to form vinyl-substituted phosphane 343 in 69% yield (Scheme 86) <2002OM4919>.

Functions Bearing One Arsenic Atom and Two Silicon Atoms

The deprotonation of 6-methyl-2-bis(trimethylsilyl)methylpyridine 333 with n-BuLi in Et2O or THF gave 334, which was then treated with AsCl3 at 78 C in Et2O to give the [6-methyl-2bis(trimethylsilyl)methylpyridine]-arsenic dichloride 344 in 68% yield (Scheme 87) <2000JOM213>. The reaction of 344 with LiAlH4 in THF afforded 345 in 35% yield. When the reaction was carried out in Et2O, the dihydride species 346 was obtained in 60% yield <2000CC1961>.

6.05.3.4

INTRODUCTION

This chapter outlines the synthesis and reactions of compounds of the general formula (XmE)n(LkM)3nCR (R = H or organyl; E = Si, Ge, or B; M = metal; X, L = any substituents; n = 0–3) having three heteroatoms (E, M) bonded to the same carbon. Much of the important pioneering work on these species was carried out in the 1970s and 1980s; COFGT (1995) covers the field up to 1994 <1995COFGT(6)171>. Use of the tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl (trisyl) group, (TMS)3C, in organometallic chemistry began with the demonstration that this function can be attached to a wide range of elements by simple ligand transfer from the lithium reagent (TMS)3CLi <1970JOM(24)529>. Since that time, numerous studies have shown that organometallic compounds containing the bulky ‘‘trisyl’’ group adopt a range of unprecedented structures and are 205

much more chemically and thermally stable than analogous derivatives with smaller alkyl groups. This topic has been summarized in review articles <1996CCR125, 1995JOM(500)89>, both of which emphasize the progress made between 1985 and 1995, a period in which the use of trisilylmethanes in organic synthesis really began to grow. Within the period 1993–2003, functionalized trisilylmethanes and related compounds have emerged as uniquely useful ligand precursors <1999MI267>. It has been shown that the range of isolable organometallic compounds can be considerably extended by the use of ligands (XMe2Si)n(TMS)3nCH (n = 1–3) in which lone pairs from groups X can occupy sites in the metal coordination sphere. Moreover, the introduction of tripodal amino ligands of the type (RNHMe2Si)3CH into coordination chemistry has enabled the stabilization of new types of organometallic species with novel structural and reactivity patterns. In this chapter emphasis will be placed on the rapid and continuing developments, in the period 1993–2003, in the field of synthesis and reactions of the above compounds although most of that part of their chemistry which is concerned with the synthesis of C-hetero-substituted derivatives will be covered in Chapter 6.13. Whereas much information has been published about functions containing three metalloids, relatively little attention has been paid to functions bearing three metals. Nevertheless, despite the relative infancy of investigations directed to the use of these species in organic synthesis, attempts have been made to summarize and classify various compounds of the general formula (MLk)3CR. To eliminate complications introduced by the kind of E and M, the consideration is restricted here to compounds (EXm)n(MLk)3nCR, where C/E and C/M are bound via a -bond. Carboranes, metal clusters, and -metal complexes, of course, will not be treated.

The various methods available for the formation of 1,1,1-trisilylalkanes can be divided into four categories. (i) ‘‘Direct synthesis’’ in the gas phase involving insertion of elemental silicon into a carbonhalogen bond of polychlorinated alkane such as chloroform (Equation (1)). Cl Cl

When applicable, the Merker–Scott procedure is usually by far the most convenient and is therefore the method of choice. However, reactions of organometallic carbon nucleophiles with halosilanes probably represent the most general approach, which has provided various routes to trisilylmethanes not readily accessible by other methods.

(i) Trisilylmethanes and their linear C-organyl derivatives, (X3Si)3CR Direct reaction of elemental silicon with a mixture of CHCl3 and HCl has been studied in the presence of a copper catalyst at various temperatures in the range 280–340 C <1997OM93>. Tris(chlorosilyl)methanes with SiH bonds were obtained as the major products along with bis(chlorosilyl)methanes, derived from the reaction of silicon with CH2Cl2 formed by the decomposition of CHCl3 (Scheme 1). A related preparation of the compounds Cl3nMenSiCH(SiHCl2)2 and Cl3nMenSiCH(SiCl3)2 (n = 0–3) has been described starting from the dichloromethylsilanes Cl3nMenSiCHCl2 <1994USP5332849, 1995USP5399740, 2000MI1020>.

Scheme 1

Tris(trichloromethylsilyl)methane 1 has been obtained by the one-step synthesis presented in Scheme 2. When CHCl3, SiHCl3, and Bun3N are allowed to react in the ratio 1:4.5:3, (Cl3Si)2CH2 is obtained in 90% yield; however, if a large excess (9 equiv.) of SiHCl3 is introduced in the reaction medium, the compound 1 is preferentially formed, isolated in ca. 30% yield as tris(ethoxysilyl) derivative 2 after ethanolysis. The latter could then be metallated on the central carbon atom and trapped with MeI. With CO2, insertion and rearrangement afforded the stable ketene, [(EtO)3Si]2C¼C¼O <1998JOM(562)79>. Cl Cl

Interest in 1,1,1-tris(organylsilyl)alkanes has also continued. Tris(trimethylsilyl)methane, (TMS)3CH, and related compounds have been intensively studied in the late 1990s and early 2000s in respect of their molecular geometry, ionization potentials, conformational structure, and molecular dynamics <1999CEJ3501, 1999MI219, 1997OM5218, 2000JCS(D)4312, 1994JCS(P2)2555>. Determination of the solution acidity of (TMS)3CH supports earlier findings <1994JA8304> that this compound is a significantly weaker acid (pK 36.8) than the corresponding silicon analog (TMS)3SiH (pK 29.4) <2002OM3157>. Consequently, (TMS)3CLi is a significantly stronger base than (TMS)3SiLi. This suggests that silicon accommodates a negative charge

much more effectively than carbon, despite its lower electronegativity (C 2.5, Si 1.7). Reich and co-workers have prepared 13C-labeled tris(TMS)methane from commercially available 13C-paraformaldehyde (Scheme 3). This synthesis involves several in situ electrophilic traps, which take advantage of the differing reactivities of the starting materials, products, and electrophiles toward metallating agents <1998MRC118>.

Scheme 3

A modification of the Merker–Scott procedure, involving the reaction between CHBr3, R3SiCl, and BunLi has been extended to numerous sterically crowded tris(organyl)chlorosilanes; an example is the preparation of the tris(i-propyldimethylsilyl)methane (Equation (4)). The latter can be used to attach the bulky trisilylmethyl group to a metalloid or metal center, was demonstrated by treating the lithium reagent, (PriMe2Si)3CLi, with Me2HSiCl to give a 77% yield of (PriMe2Si)3CSiMe2H <1995JOM(489)181>. Other examples relate to trisilylmethanes (RMe2Si)3CH (R = o-Tol, Et) <1996JOM(510)117, 1998JOM(555)263>. Metallation of (o-TolMe2Si)3CH by MeLi in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was shown to be much slower than that of (PhMe2Si)3CH. The lithium salt reacts with MeI to give (o-TolMe2Si)3CMe, but neither with Me2SiHCl nor with a range of other organosilicon halides <1996JOM(510)117>. A further extension of this type of chemistry was the development of arene-catalyzed lithiation of polychlorinated compounds under the Merker–Scott conditions. The reaction of 1,1,1-trichloroalkanes with a large excess of lithium metal (1:20 molar ratio) in THF in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane and a catalytic amount of 4,40 -di-t-butylbiphenyl (DTBB) was found to produce 1,1,1-trisilylalkanes in good yield (Equation (5)). Conditions for preparing the monoand disilylated compounds have also been described <1996T1797>. Br Br

The obvious thought of using combination of the Merker–Scott procedure and the reaction of an organolithium compound with the corresponding halosilane for the synthesis of trisilylmethanes with different silyl groups attached to the carbon atom was realized for the compounds 4 and 5 <1997OM4728>. Treatment of CHBr3 at low temperature with 3 equiv. of BunLi in the presence of 3 equiv. of Me2PhSiCl gave trisilylmethane (PhMe2Si)3CH. When 2 equiv. of Me2PhSiCl/BunLi was used, the product was bromodisilylmethane 3, and this was converted into trisilylmethane 4 by treatment with BunLi/TMS-Cl. In the same way, the compound 5 was obtained by use of 2 equiv. of TMS-Cl/BunLi in the first step and 1 equiv. of BunLi/Me2PhSiCl in the second step (Scheme 4). Good yields could be obtained at each stage, provided the temperature was rigorously controlled. The attachment of the very bulky (PhMe2Si)3C ligand or of the closely related (TMS) (Me2PhSi)2C and (TMS)2(Me2PhSi)C ligands to a metal center made possible the isolation of a number of metal derivatives (TMS)3n(Me2PhSi)nCM: n = 1, M = Li(tetramethylethylenediamine [1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane] (TMEDA)), Li(Et2O), Na(TMEDA); n = 2, M = Li(THF)2, Li(TMEDA), K; n = 3,

Eaborn and co-workers have subsequently introduced the closely related dicarbanionic ligand [C(TMS)2SiMe2CH2CH2Me2Si(TMS)2C] (R-R) <1999OM2342>. Its precursor HR-RH 6 was prepared by the reaction shown in Scheme 5 <1996OM1651>. The compound 6 was metallated with MeLi in THF in the presence of TMEDA to give the chelated salt 7. If no TMEDA is added, a solid compound, assumed to be [(R-R)Li], may be isolated in 80% yield from diethyl ether/hexane. The lithium salt can be used to make cyclic derivatives of mercury <1996OM1651>, lead <1997OM5621>, potassium, zinc, ytterbium, tin <1999OM2342>, manganese, and cesium <2000OM1190>. The structurally related disiloxane [(TMS)2CHMe2Si]2O has also been prepared, and shown to undergo metallation reaction leading to a novel molecular species incorporating a cyclic organolithate anion and disiloxane-solvated lithium cation <1998CC1277>.

Scheme 5

The reaction of (TMS)2CHLi with hexachlorodisilane has been explored as a means of synthesizing tetrachlorodisilane 8 <2001IC3766>. Starting from 8 a wide variety of 1,2-bis[bis(TMS)methyl]substituted disilanes were prepared (Scheme 6). A reduction of 8 with LiAlH4 resulted in the formation of the disilane 9 and the metathesis with Me3SnF yielded the tetrafluorodisilane 10. The interaction of 8 with a solution of sodium in liquid ammonia at 78 C affords the tetraaminodisilane 11. In turn, treatment of 11 with reagents containing acidic protons (HBr, HI, or H2O) leads under elimination of NH3 to the tetrabromo- 12, tetraiodo- 13, and tetrahydroxydisilane 14. The siliconsilicon bonds were not cleaved under these conditions. The disilane 14 can also be obtained directly from the reaction of tetrachlorodisilane 8 with a mixture of H2O2/H2O. However, in contrast to 8, the tetraaminodisilane 11 reacted under the same conditions to yield the trihydroxycyclotrisiloxane 15 <2002OM3671>. The synthetic utility of 11 has also been demonstrated by the reaction with liquid H2S at 70 C leading to the formation of a S4Si4 cage compound 16 <2001OM1282>. The driving force for the crossover arrangement of the sulfur atoms is most likely the formation of the four five-membered rings. Finally, a somewhat similar chemistry was performed with (TMS)2CHSiCl3. The ammonolysis of this compound with ammonia which was not predried with sodium yielded the trihydroxycyclotrisilazane 17 while the reaction with sodium in predried ammonia gave the acyclic tetraaminodisilazane 18 <2000EJI827>.

(ii) Functionalized trisilylmethanes containing an ‘‘active’’ ligand framework The extreme exploitation of the steric demand of an Si3C function is a common feature of most of the early reports on trisilylmethane chemistry <1996CCR125, 1995JOM(500)89>. The emphasis in studies on trisilylmethane derivatives has moved toward polydentate compounds of the type (XMe2Si)3n(TMS)nCH, n = 0–2, in which the trisilylmethyl ligands have bulk similar to that of the (TMS)3C, but contain groups X bearing heteroatoms with lone pairs capable of coordinating intra- or intermolecularly to the metal. The most prominent example of the versatility of this concept is the structural chemistry and chemical reactivity of a series of compounds studied by Eaborn and co-workers. Those include functionalized trisilylmethanes (Me2NMe2Si)(TMS)2CH <1999OM45>, (Me2NMe2Si)3CH <1996CC741, 1997OM503, 1998OM3135>, (MeOMe2Si) (TMS)2CH <1996JOM(521)113, 1996OM4783, 1997AG(E)2815, 1997OM5653, 1998OM4322>, (MeOMe2Si)3CH <1992JCS(D)1015>. Typically the compounds (XMe2Si)3n(TMS)nCH are obtained in several steps via the corresponding bromosilanes. Representative examples are given in Scheme 7 <1999JCS(D)3267>. Interestingly, the reaction between compound 19 and BunLi proceeded much faster than the corresponding reaction with (TMS)3CH suggesting that it is facilitated by initial coordination of Me2N to lithium. The compound 20 reacted with MeLi at 0 C to give a complex mixture that, after aqueous work-up, was found to contain (MeOMe2Si) (TMS)2CH, indicating that MeLi had attacked SiOMe as well as CH bonds. However, the reaction between 20 and Pri2NLi proceeded smoothly at 60 C and the lithium compound (MeOMe2Si)2(TMS)CLi was isolated in good yield. The symmetrically substituted tris(aminosilyl)methanes (RNHMe2Si)3CH are available from the reaction of (BrMe2Si)3CH 21 with 3 equiv. of a primary amine in the presence of an excess of triethylamine as auxiliary base. The facile accessibility of these compounds along with the possibility of preparing enantiomerically pure derivatives provided the motivation for the synthesis of an extensive series of novel trisilylmethane-derived tripodal amines and the corresponding trilithium triamides (Scheme 8). A comprehensive study into the coordination chemistry of

211

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B)

these ligands has been carried out by Glade and co-workers <2002JCS(D)2608, 2001CEJ2563, 2001EJI1425>. Interestingly, the tris(aminosilyl)methanes were found to be in equilibrium in solution with the cyclic diamines, which are generated upon ejection of one molecule of the primary amine. Reaction of these equilibrium mixtures with 3 equiv. of BunLi affords the trilithium triamides. It is notable that the result of the metallation is the same whether the reaction is carried out with the essentially pure tripodal amine or with a mixture of the triamine and the cyclic product in the presence of the dissociated primary amine (Scheme 9) <2001CEJ2563, 2001MI191,1994IC3064>.

Tris(diphenylphosphinodimethylsilyl)methane 22 has been prepared from the reaction of 21 and Ph2PLi (yield 62%) <1999CJC1931> or Ph2PK (89%) <1999JCS(D)831>. The compound 22 reacted with [Mo(CO)6] to give the complex cis-23, in which two phosphine groups are coordinated to molybdenum and one is free and with BunLi in the presence of TMEDA to give [Li(TMEDA)2][(Ph2PMe2Si)3C] which contains discrete planar carbanions and no LiP coordination

<1999JCS(D)831>. The susceptibility of 22 to cleavage of the PSi bonds by protic reagents has also been described <1999CJC1931>. Hydrolysis of the PSi bond in 22 produces principally the alcohol 24. In the presence of excess of methanol, the compound 22 is cleanly converted to the trisilylmethane 25. Bubbling oxygen through solutions of 22 for 15 min gives only trace amounts of the oxidation product 26 (Scheme 10).

Other examples of this type of functionalized trisilylmethanes are (Ph2PCH2Me2Si)3CH, (Ph2PCH2Me2Si)2(TMS)CH, and (Ph2PCH2Me2Si)(TMS)2CH <2000JCS(D)2183>. The conversion of triphosphino derivative to the corresponding lithium salt was affected by MeLi in ether. The anionic ligand in compound (Ph2PCH2Me2Si)3CLi shows a close skeletal resemblance to the tripodal ligands in silatranes, but the coordination to the metal center is provided by the lone pair of electrons of the carbanion rather than by that of the nitrogen atom. The [dimethyl(2-pyridyl)silyl]-bis(TMS)methane, (2-PyMe2Si)(TMS)2CH, containing a nitrogen atom in its ligand periphery was synthesized by reaction of (BrCH2Me2Si)(TMS)2CH with 2-lithiopyridine (yield 61%). This ligand precursor reacts with MeLi in THF to give the lithium derivative, which could be used to obtain compounds of a wide range of metals (K, Mg, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni) <2000OM3224, 2000CC691>. Synthesis of more sophisticated trisilylmethane-based polydentate species is shown in Scheme 11. Preparation of the compound 27 was readily achieved by reaction of 3 equiv. of propynyl lithium with 1 equiv. of 21. Reaction of this precursor with an excess of the 4,6-di-t-butyl-1,3,2-diazaphosphinine yields intermediate 28. In a subsequent step, 28 was reacted with trimethylsilylacetylene to give the desired ligand 29. Complex of 29 with [Mo(CO)5(THF)] has also been characterized <2000EJI2565>.

(iii) Compounds with an Si3C function as part of one or more ring systems Tris(aminosilyl)methanes, HC(SiMe2NHR)3, have been shown to be valuable starting materials to build up compounds in which the trisilylmethane unit is part of a hetero-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane system. After lithiation with n-butyllithium, these amines react with early transition metals (Y <1995IC4062>, Ti <1997OM5585, 2001CEJ2563>, Zr <1995IC4062, 1999JOM(591)71, 2000OM963, 2001EJI1425>, Hf <1999JOM(591)71>, Nb <1997OM5585>) as well as groups 13 (Tl <2001CC899>, Sn and Pb <1995IC4069, 1995CB29, 1998POL737, 2001ZAAC(627)1417>) and 15 (Sb, Bi <2000IC3931>) metals to form complexes with tripodal amido ligands. Some examples taken from the studies by Gade and co-workers are shown in Scheme 12. Related hetero-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes containing chalcogens instead of the nitrogen atoms are formed in a smooth reaction from easily available HC(SiMe2Cl)3, RMCl3 (M = Si, Ge, or Sn), and a suspension of Li2E (E = S or Se) in THF (Scheme 13) <2002JOM(660)27>. A new synthetic approach toward hexasilabicyclo[2.2.2]octane system, in which three SiSi linkages are aligned in parallel between two bridgehead carbons, is conceptually based on triple silylation of two molecules of a trilithiomethane equivalent with three molecules of dichlorodisilanes

as illustrated in Scheme 14. Commercially available bis(phenylthio)methane was selected for a trilithiomethane equivalent because the phenylthio group facilitates deprotonation and stabilizes the anionic center. Moreover, the group is readily removed by metallation to give rise to the lithium derivative. Reduction of the disilane 30 with lithium radical anion and its silylation with (ClSiMe2)2 lead to 1,2,4,5-tetrasilacyclohexane 31 as a stereoisomeric mixture (cis:trans = 1:1). Final ring formation for hexasilabicyclo[2.2.2]octane 32 was attained by reduction of 31 and subsequent silylation with (ClSiMe2)2 <1998CL1145>.

Functionalization of 32 at bridgehead carbon was achieved by treatment with BunLi-ButOK followed by a reaction with electrophile (Scheme 15). It is noteworthy that only monosilylation occurs. Probably through-space or through-bond electrostatic interaction prevented the formation of a bridgehead dianion. Nevertheless, a stepwise procedure involving deprotonation of 32 followed by electrophilic quenching allowed preparation of symmetrically or dissymmetrically disubstituted derivatives <2000JOM(611)12, 2001CL1090>. Further extension of this synthetic strategy is illustrated in Scheme 16. Synthesis of cage compounds 36 and 37 containing a trisilane linkage was achieved starting from the acyclic trisilane 33. Reduction of 1,3,4,5-tetrasilacyclohexane 34 with lithium radical anion effectively produced 1,3-dimetallic reagent 35 which, upon quenching with Me2SiCl2, gave pentasilabicyclo[3.1.1]heptane 36. Silylation of 35 with Cl(SiMe2)2Cl also proceeded successfully, giving rise to 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexasilabicyclo[3.2.1]octane 37 <2000JOM(611)12>. The reaction of tris[dimethyl(ethynyl)silyl]methane with triethylborane was reported to proceed via a threefold 1,1-ethylboration to give a bicyclic compound incorporating trisilylmethane unit <1995CC399>.

Subsequently, tris(dichloroboryl)methane, CH(BCl2)3, was synthesized by an exchange reaction of tris(dimethoxyboryl)methane with boron trichloride <1973IC2472, 1995COFGT(6)171>. Siebert and co-workers have reported the synthesis of 1,1,1-tris(dichloroboryl)alkanes and tris(boronate)esters via hydroboration of alkynylboronates using in situ generated HBCl2 <2001EJI373, 2002EJI1293>. In addition, Marder and co-workers have described a catalytic route to the tris(boronate)esters in a single step from readily accessible vinylboronates <2002JOM(652)77>. New acyclic systems bearing three dialkylboryl groups on a single carbon atom have also been prepared <1998AG(E)1245>.

(i) 1,1,1-Tris(dihaloboryl)alkanes 1,1,1-Tris(dichloroboryl)-3,3-dimethylbutane 38 is now readily available on a large scale by lithiation of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne by n-butyllithium, followed by boron/lithium exchange with BCl3 and a double hydroboration of the boryl alkyne with dichloroborane (HBCl2) prepared in situ (Scheme 17). This reaction sequence afforded a 42% yield of 38 <2002EJI1293>. Treatment of trimethylsilylacetylene with BunLi, BCl3, and 2 equiv. of HBCl2 provided 1,1-bis(dichloroboryl)2-trimethylsilylethene 40 and isomeric products 41–43 (Scheme 18) <2002EJI1293>. Presumably, the hydroboration of 39 occurs regioselectively to give bis(dichloroboryl) derivative 40. Dichloroborane then hydroborates 40 in both directions, giving rise to the compounds 41 and 42, with the former being favored. The mechanism of the formation of 43 is unclear.

The compound 45 is best prepared from the dimethoxyboron chloride, chloroform, and lithium dispersion by transesterification of crude methyl ester 44 with ethylene glycol and subsequent crystallization of the product from hot THF (Scheme 19) <1995T11219>.

Knowledge of the versatile reactions of boranes with unsaturated compounds prompted an investigation into the synthesis of methanetriboronic esters via alkynes. Siebert and co-workers have shown that the interaction of the catechol-substituted monoborylacetylene 46 with an excess of 1,3,2-benzodioxaborole (catecholborane) leads to a mixture of 1,1-bis(1,3,2-benzodioxaborol-2-yl)ethene 47 and a small amount of trans-1,2-bis(1,3,2-benzodioxaborol-2-yl)ethene 48. In contrast with catecholborane, dichloroborane adds to 47 affording triborylethane 49, which was identified as a catechol ester 50. The direct hydroboration of 46 with 2 equiv. of HBCl2 and subsequent reaction with catechol also affords 50 in 83% yield (Scheme 20) <2001EJI373>.

The transition metal-promoted catalytic diboronation of diborylacetylenes offers another new route to compounds containing a B3C function <1999EJI1693>. Thus in refluxing toluene, the platinum complexes [Pt(PPh3)2(C2H4)] or [Pt(PPh3)4] catalyze the double diboronation of the diborylacetylene 51 with the catechol-substituted diborane 52 to give the hexaborylethane 53 (Scheme 21). Reaction conditions were found to be critical; the formation of tetraborylethane 54 instead of hexaborylethane occurs by catalysis with [Pt(PPh3)2(C2H4)] or [Pt(PPh3)4] in THF at 55 C. Moreover, the tetraborylethene 55 is obtained from 51 and 52 with the base-free platinum complex [Pt(COD)2] under mild conditions in toluene. At temperatures above 40 C 55 adds 52 to form hexaborylethane 53. Hexaborylethane derivatives have also been obtained from the diborylacetylene 56 and the diborane 52. However, the reaction leads to a mixture of naphthalene- and benzo-1,3-dioxa-2-borol-2-ylethanes, in which between five and two boryl substituents of 52 and between one and four substituents of 56 are incorporated. It is unclear whether the exchange occurs before or after the formation of the hexaborylethanes. The route employing transition metal-catalyzed diboration of borylalkenes appeared to be a general method for synthesizing tris(boronate)esters, as further examples demonstrate. Diboration of the styrylboronate esters 57 with diborane 52 in the presence of a variety of rhodium phosphine catalysts gives predominantly either 58, which contains three boronate ester groups on the carbon atom, or its isomer 59. Wilkinson’s catalyst, [Ph(PPh3)3Cl], gave the highest yield of 58, 75% and 71% for 58a and 58b, respectively, with the reactions essentially going to completion (Equation (6)). The formation of 58 apparently involves regiospecific insertion of the vinylboronates into a RhB bond followed by -hydride

elimination, another regiospecific insertion of the 2,2-vinyl bis(boronate) into the remaining RhB bond followed by CH reductive elimination leading to 2,2-diboration and a 2,1-hydrogen shift <2002JOM(652)77>. O

(iii) Tris(boryl)alkanes and boracycloalkanes involving a B3C function 1,1,1-Tris(diethylboryl)alkanes have been postulated and evidenced in many reactions of borylacetylenes with diethylborane <1994AG(E)2296, 1995CC1691, 1998AG(E)1245>. For example, hydroboration of trimethyl(propyn-1-yl)silane with Et2BH under ‘‘hydride bath’’ conditions (i.e., with a large excess of diethylborane) leads to the 1-carba-arachno-pentaborane(10) derivative 64. The reaction proceeds via intermediate formation of compounds 60–63. In the hydride bath, exchange reactions between in situ generated 1,1,1-tris(diethylboryl)propane 62 and geminal bis(diethylboryl)alkane 63, take place until the carborane skeleton 64 is formed (Scheme 22) <1997CCC1254>. A thermally stable tris(boryl)ethane has been derived from the interaction of 50 with t-butyllithium. This reaction results in the formation of 1,1,1-tris[di(t-butyl)boryl]ethane 65, which does not form any closo-C2B3 carborane by elimination of trisorganoboranes (Equation (7)) <2001EJI373>.

A route to boracycloalkanes possessing closo-C2B3 carborane structure, which may be described as midway between classical and nonclassical, uses thermolysis of the triborylalkane 38. On heating neat 38 at 170 C, elimination of BCl3 occurred with formation of the compound 69.

Methylation of 38 with Al2Me6 gave 70, which, on heating, was transformed into 71. The latter was also formed by direct methylation of 69 with MeLi or Al2Me6. Treatment of 69 with 3,3-dimethylbutynellithium and 2-phenylethynyllithium afforded 72a and 72b, respectively (Scheme 24). Attempts to substitute the chloro atoms with OH, OMe, OBut, and catechol groups were unsuccessful.

Functions bearing three germaniums

Traditionally, trigermylmethane derivatives are synthesized either via condensation of the polylithiated hydrocarbons with chlorotrimethylgermane or via stepwise base-assisted introduction of an R3Ge group into compounds containing an activated methyl group <1995COFGT(6)171>. Kouvetakis and co-workers have utilized the high reactivity of dihalogermylenes toward CHal bonds to develop probably the most general and effective synthesis of simple trigermylmethanes <1995IC5103, 1996CM2491, 1998JA6738>. They found that the germylene complexes GeX2.dioxane (X = Cl, Br) undergo complete insertion into the CBr bonds of CBr4 to give the tetrakis(trihalogermyl)methanes 73 and 74, in 79% and 94% yields, respectively. Reduction of 73 with LiAlH4 in a very high boiling solvent (C30H50 squalene) in a two-phase system with a phase transfer catalyst leads to the tetrakis(germyl)methane 75 in 20% yield. A substantial quantity (18% yield) of 76, the tris(germyl) analog, is also obtained as a by-product. The reduction of 74 with LiAlH4, under conditions similar to those for the reduction of 73, leads to compounds 75 and 76 in 1:1 molar ratio in approximately 12% yield each (Scheme 25) <1998JA6738>.

Functions bearing mixed metalloids

There are several methods for the production of compounds of the general structure RC(E1Xm) (E2Xn) (E3Xmn), where E1, E2, and E3 = Si, B, or Ge, but three groups of reactions are most important: (i) synthesis based on -silyl-, boryl, or germyl-substituted organometallics; (ii) synthesis based on p-bonded low-coordinate boron and germanium derivatives; and (iii intermolecular C–H insertions and cyclization reactions involving a stable germylene.

(i) Synthesis based on a-silyl-, boryl-, or germyl-substituted organometallics This approach has been extensively studied and seems to be most general for preparing functions bearing mixed metalloids <1995COFGT(6)171>. An example provided in Equation (8) illustrates the application of this strategy for the synthesis of base-stabilized germylene containing a Si2(GeII)C function <1997OM2116, 1999OM389>.

With bromine, 78 reacts, as do hydrosilanes, to form bromosilyl derivative 79.

Silylation of 2-trimethylsilylboratabenzene salt 83 affords compounds 84 and 85 as a slowly interconverting equilibrium mixture of isomers (Scheme 28). When this reaction was run in THF, a mixture of the monosilylated compound 82, the expected bis(trimethylsilyl) derivatives, and more highly silylated species were formed. When pentane was used as the reaction medium, the chemoselectivity was much improved. The product obtained was essentially an equilibrium mixture of the isomers 84 and 85 in a 4:3 ratio with some 82 (10–20%) <1997OM926>.

(iii) Intermolecular CH insertions and cyclization reactions involving a stable germylene A great deal of chemical research has focused upon CH and CHal insertions and cyclization reactions involving divalent germylenes in the hope of developing general methods for introducing functionality into a variety of organic molecules <1996OM741, 1997AG(E)2514, 1996JOM(521)387, 1999JA4229>. Banaszak Holl and co-workers demonstrated that bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]germylene 98 inserts into the -CH bond of acetonitrile in the presence of THF and LiCl, MgCl2, or LiBr to yield 99 quantitatively as monitored by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Similar reactivity was observed for propionitrile, phenyl acetonitrile, and succinonitrile (Scheme 32). The presence of THF and specific salts was essential for the insertion reactions. For acetonitrile, no reaction occurred over the period of a week at 20 C when benzene, diethyl ether, or 1,4-dioxane were used as solvents in the absence of added salts. However, when 0.5 equiv. of THF was added to the reaction mixture in benzene, the reaction slowly proceeded to 5% completion after 3 days at 20 C. The reaction rate was dramatically affected by added salt. In THF solvent, the reaction is complete with 2 min and 20 min, respectively, if 0.2 equiv. of MgCl2 or LiCl are added <2001JA982>. It has also been found that by the reaction of germylene 98 with an excess of trans-1,2dichloroethene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, or 1,1-dichloroethene, the [(TMS)2CH]2ClGe-functionalized ethenes 100, 102, and 104 can be obtained in quantitative yields <1996JOM(521)387>. The stereochemistry of the starting material was retained in the product, showing that these reactions proceeded stereospecifically. When 2 molar equiv. of 98 were used with 1,2-dichloroethenes, the reactions gave the double germylene insertion products 101 and 103 (Scheme 33).

Scheme 33

A stable digermacyclobutane 106 bearing (TMS)2CH groups at germanium atoms was obtained by the interaction of 98 with ethylene (Scheme 34). This reaction presumably runs via the germirane intermediate 105. An attempt to prepare the corresponding digermacyclobutanes by the reaction between 98 and propene or 2-butene was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the digermacyclobutane 106 is a useful synthon for novel organogermanium compounds. For example, photolysis of 106 in carbon tetrachloride afforded 1,4-digerma-1,4-dichlorobutane 107 quantitatively, and photolysis in 2,3-dimethylbutadiene yielded 1-germacyclopent-3-ene 108 <1995OM2139>. The photolysis of 106 in a toluene solution of C60 provided the germylene and germacyclopropane adducts of C60, respectively. The former is possibly the first example of a closed [6,5]bridged derivative of germacyclopropane, while the latter is a closed [6,6]-bridged fullerene derivative of germacyclopentane <2001JOM(636)82>. Heterocyclic GeIVO species including a conjugated triene system and Si2CHGe functions have been obtained from the reaction of 98 with phenones. For example, germylene 98 reacts with benzophenone in THF at ambient temperature to produce compound 109. A number of other phenone species yield products similar to 98 and benzophenone. The reaction occurs with both weakly electron-withdrawing and releasing groups present on the rings. Moreover, the pattern of

(iv) Miscellaneous The exhaustive hydroboration of the (CC)-groups in dimethyl-di-1-propynylsilane by adding Et2BH at room temperature is presumed to lead initially to the formation of a mixture of the threo- and erythro-3,3,5,6-tetrakis(diethylboryl)-4,4-dimethyl-4-silaheptanes 112. The erythro-112 reacts further by borane catalyzed intermolecular condensation to substituted disilatetraboratricyclo[6.2.16,9]dodecane 113. In contrast, the erythro-112 undergoes intramolecular, thermal elimination of Et3B to give the 1,2-diethyl-2,4-bis(diethylboryl)-3,3,5-trimethyl-3-silaborolane 114 (Scheme 36) <1995ZN(B)439>. Thermolysis of the silole 115 in a sealed evacuated tube without solvent at 175 C quickly and quantitatively resulted in the formation of the 2,4-disila-1-germatricyclo[2.1.0.02.5]pentane 116. The tricyclic skeleton of 116 incorporates the two fused three-membered ring comprising all different group 14 elements: C, Si, and Ge (Equation (10)) <2002JA9962>.

Functions Containing Metalloids and Metals

The work on functions RC(EXm)n(MLk)3n (E = Si, Ge, or B; M = metal; R = H or organyl; X = any substituent; n = 1 or 2) up to 1994 has been reviewed <1995COFGT(6)171>, and an account up to 1996 on compounds of elements of groups 11–13 containing (TMS)3C, (PhMe2Si)3C, and related ligands can be found <1996CCR125>. A review of the synthesis and reactions of compounds [(TMS)2CH]2E-E[CH(TMS)2]2 (E = Al, Ga, or In) contains much that is relevant to this chapter <1997CCR1>. Thus, this section considers in general, besides a number of fundamentals, the literature for 1997–2003.

6.06.2.2.1

Functions bearing silicon(s) and metal(s)

Synthesis of compounds of the general formula RC(SiX3)n(MLk)3n, where n = 2 or 1, is made by one of the following methods, which are mainly based on the standard synthetic procedures developed for the preparation of organometallic species: (i) metal–hydrogen exchange reactions of silylmethanes with basic metal-containing reagents; (ii) metal–halogen exchange reactions or oxidative metallation of halo(silyl)methanes; (iii) organometallic addition to vinyl silanes; (iv) synthesis via (cyclo)addition to stannaethenes; and (v) transmetallation of an already -metalated organosilanes. Most of the work in the decade 1993–2003 in this area has centered on the synthesis of specific organometallic derivatives, often with the goal of preparing new kinetically stabilized species.

227

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B) (i) Metal–hydrogen exchange

In order to assess the potential utility of various possible metallating reagents, Seyferth and Lang carried out studies of the metallation of Me3SiCH2SiMe3, (Me3SiCH2)2SiMe2, (Me3Si)2CHSiMe2CH2SiMe3, and cyclo-(Me2SiCH2)3, using several strong organometallic bases such as ButLi/TMEDA, BusLi/TMEDA, BunLi/ButOK, and BunLi/ButOK/TMEDA <1991OM551>. BunLi/ButOK was found to be the most effective metallation reagent for CH2 groups in an SiCH2Si environment. The yields of monolithium derivatives in these reactions are very good, but further metallation did not occur even when a fivefold excess of the reagent was used. The bis(triethoxysilyl)methyl lithium 117 is simply prepared by treatment with t-butyllithium of the corresponding disilylmethane (Equation (11)). This compound is a very convenient starting material for a variety of common disilylmethane derivatives <1998JOM(562)79>. ButLi

By analogy with the preparation of bis(iodozincio)methane from diodomethane and zinc, the reaction of silyl-substituted dibromomethanes, RMe2SiCHBr2 (R = Me, Ph, p-MeOC6H4), with zinc dust in the presence of a catalytic amount of lead in THF provides route to silyl-substituted bis(bromozincio)methanes, RMe2CH(ZnBr)2 (72–80% yield) <1998SL1315>. Yet another example of the diversity of the original reagents, which may be used to synthesize lithiodisilylmethanes by metal–halogen reactions is the interaction of polysilacyclohexanes containing pseudohalogen (PhS) groups with lithio radical anion (see Schemes 14 and 16) <2000JOM(611)12>.

(iii) Organometallic addition to vinyl silanes The reactivity of 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethane 123 toward lithium metal has been re-investigated by Maercker and co-workers <1998EJO1455>. In THF, the exclusive formation of the product of reductive dimerization 124 was observed. When hexane or diethyl ether was used as solvent, an almost quantitative yield of a 1:1 mixture of the two lithio derivatives 124 and 126 was isolated. Lithium hydride elimination from the 1,4-dilithioalkane 124 can be ruled out since mixtures of 124 and 126, once synthesized, were found to be stable. Presumably, 123 adds to 125, which may be generated as a by-product, with formation of 126. In contrast to 123, 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)3,3-dimethyl-1-butene 127a reacted with lithium metal to give the 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,2-dilithioalkane 128a, which shows no tendency to form a dimer product. The general reaction pathway was the same when the t-butyl group at the -position was replaced with a phenyl group (Scheme 39). TMS

(iv) Synthesis via (cyclo)addition to stannaethenes The scope of these reactions, being investigated mainly by Wiberg and co-workers, has not yet been well delineated. Even so, the following useful procedures have been developed. Lithium organils (RLi) act as very active trapping reagents for Me2Sn = C(TMS)2 with formation of the adducts Me2Sn(R)-C(Li)(TMS)2. The insertion reactivity of RLi decreases when the bulkiness of R increases (decreasing reactivity in the order MeLi>BunLi>PhLi>ButLi; MeLi>(TMS)2CHLi>(TMS)3CLi). The influence of electronic effects is obviously smaller than

229

those of steric effects (decreasing reactivity in the order (TMS)2(Me2ClSi)CLi>(TMS)2(Me2BrSi)CLi>(TMS)3CLi) <2000JOM(598)292>. Reactions of the stannaethene 129 with butadiene and propene as well as their methyl and phenyl derivatives afford Diels–Alder adducts and ene products containing an SnC(TMS)2 unit (Scheme 40). The reactions are accelerated by an increasing tendency of substituents in butadiene or propene to donate electrons and retarded by increasing bulkiness of substituents in 1,4- or 1,3positions. It is concluded that Diels–Alder and ene reactions of 129 occur in a concerted way and are orbital controlled <1998CEJ2571, 2000CJC1412>. Me TMS Me Sn TMS

Compound 130 was reacted with Na/K alloy, which results immediately in the formation of organoalanes 131 and 132 due to a disproportion reaction <2001MI225>.

The alkyl transferring properties of [(TMS)2CH]2Zn toward transition metal halides have also been studied. The monosubstituted tantalum halides, (TMS)2CHTaX4 (X = Cl, Br), were prepared by the reaction of TaX5 with [(TMS)2CH]2Zn in hexane <1999OM832>. Compounds

(TMS)2CHTiCl3, (TMS)2CHNbCl4, and (TMS)2CHNbBr4 have been isolated, respectively, from reacting TiCl4, NbCl5, and NbBr5. In addition, the fluoride derivative (TMS)2CHNbF4 was prepared via chlorine–fluorine metathesis employing Me3SnF as a fluorinating reagent. The crystal structure of (TMS)2CHNbCl4 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction <2001JOM(621)310>. The first bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl-substituted organogallium compound containing a GaGa single bond, 133, was synthesized by Uhl and co-workers according to Scheme 42 <1989JOM(364)289>. Remarkably, this compound reacted with tropolone by replacement of two (TMS)2CH groups and retention of its GaGa single bond <2002ZN(B)141>. As a starting compound for the synthesis of an alkylgallium-bridged [1,1]-ferrocenophane 135 Uhl and co-workers employed the trichloroalkylgallate 134, which is easily available by the reaction of GaCl3 with (TMS)2CHLi in THF (Scheme 43). Treatment of the adduct 134 with 1,10 -dilithioferrocene in hexane afforded the orange-red compound 135 in 47% yield <2001JOM(637/639)300>.

The transmetallation of the bridged ditin compound 136 with (TMS)2CHLi afforded a new organotin derivative 137, which was converted into its tetrachloro derivative 138 by stepwise reaction with Me2SnCl2 and SnCl4 (Scheme 44) <1998OM4096>. Along with this, the di- and trimethylene-bridged ditin compounds, 140 and 141, were prepared by reaction of 139 with (TMS)2CHLi followed by treatment with mercuric chloride (Scheme 45) <1998OM4096>. The synthetic potential of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)methanide in transmetallation reactions is also illustrated by the synthesis of electron-deficient monocyclopentadienylvanadium(III) dialkyl 142 <1993OM2268> and vanadium(III) hydrocarbyl 143 <1999JCS(D)3345> (Equations (12) and (13)). These results provide a further demonstration that the bulky (TMS)2CH ligand may stabilize unusual metal complexes.

Neutral alkyl derivative lanthanides, stabilized by bis(trimethylsilyl)groups, are, of course, known and interpretation of their stability in terms of steric protection appears to be generally accepted <1994CC2691, 1995JCS(D)3933>. Alkyl lanthanide complexes are the precursors of organolanthanide hydrides by hydrogenolysis of the lanthanidecarbon -bond. Bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl lanthanides are especially often used because they are usually hydrocarbon-soluble unsolvated species that can be straightforwardly obtained by reaction of organolanthanide halides with (TMS)2CHLi. The synthesis of 146 and 147 illustrates this. The crude products from the reaction of [LnCl3(THF)x] (Ln = Nd, Sm) with 2,3,4,5-tetramethylphospholylpotassium, 144 and 145, reacted smoothly with (TMS)2CHLi to give bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl derivatives 146 and 147 in fair-to-good yields (Scheme 46). [(C4Me4P)2LaCH(TMS)2] was also obtained by the same procedure, but the yields were very low and inconsistent <1999EJI1041>. Lanthanide metallocene cation [(C5Me5)2Sm][BPh4], which may be prepared from (C5Me5)2Sm and AgBPh4, reacts with (TMS)2CHLi in benzene to produce (C5Me5)2SmCH(TMS)2 in over 96% yield. [(C5Me5)2Nd][BPh4] similarly reacts with (TMS)2CHLi to produce (C5Me5)2NdCH(TMS)2 in quantitative yield <1998JA6745>.

Functions bearing boron(s) and metal(s)

Important methods for the preparation of polyheteroatom species of the general formula RC(BX2)n(MLm)3n, where n = 1 or 2, M is metal, and R = H, alkyl, or aryl, along with some representatives examples, are summarized in Scheme 47. These comprise reactions: (i) via metal– hydrogen exchange (deprotonation of diorganoboranes and related compounds); (ii) via transmetallation; (iii) via cleavage of 1,1-diboryl- and 1,1,1-triboryl compounds; and (iv) via addition to vinyl boranes and methyleneboranes. During the years from the publication of chapter 6.06, COFGT (1995) to the end of 2003, little further effort was given to expanding this chemistry. Readers are referred to the reference <1995COFGT(6)171> and review <1991COS(1)487> for more detailed information concerning synthetic potential of the mentioned methods. A unique method for the synthesis of compounds containing a BSn2C function utilizes the reaction of the bicyclic N-pyrrolylborane 148 with bis(trimethylstannyl)ethyne <1997JOM(545/546)297>. The interaction of 148 with 2 equiv. of Me3SnCCSnMe3 proceeds selectively to give 149, in which the five-membered ring in 148 has been extended by two carbon atoms (Scheme 48).

6.06.2.2.3

Functions bearing germanium(s) and metal(s)

In contrast to the numerous reactions involving metallation of CH2 groups in an SiCH2Si environment, the metal–hydrogen exchange reactions have met with very limited success when applied to the corresponding germyl analogs <1995COFGT(6)171>. The metal–halogen exchange reactions seem to be less limited than the direct metallation of organogermanes. Thus, Wiberg and co-workers have described an efficient route to lithium bis(trimethylgermyl)methide 151 starting from bromoform (Scheme 49). This approach permits access to bis(trimethylgermyl)bromomethane 150, which is difficult to obtain by other methods and produces salt-free reagent 151 in good yield. The ease with which the latter is prepared makes it a particularly attractive starting material for a variety of organic and inorganic applications. The reactivity of 151 appears roughly comparable to that of (TMS)2CHLi <1996JOM(511)239>. Triethylgermyl-substituted bis(bromozincio)methane, Et3GeCH(ZnBr)2, has been prepared from the corresponding dibromide by Pb-catalyzed reaction with zinc dust in THF (30–40% yield) <2000SL495>.

6.06.2.2.4

Functions bearing mixed metalloid(s) and metal(s)

Very few species with this special ligand arrangement around the carbon atom have been reported up to the end of 2003. In practice, they can be prepared by multiple-step procedures involving reactions described in Sections 6.06.2.2.1–6.06.2.2.3. In particular, if mixed compounds such as XnE1CH2E2Ym or XnE1CH(Hal)E2Ym are available then metal–hydrogen or metal–halogen exchange reactions seem to be the most practical route to metallated derivatives. Another attractive and potentially general route to functions with mixed metalloid(s) and metal(s) is provided by the reactions of heteroalkenes with organometallics. Some examples taken from the literature are illustrated by Equations (14)–(17).

FUNCTIONS CONTAINING THREE METALS

In contrast to sp2- <2000CRV2887> and sp3-1,1-bismetallic derivatives <1996CRV3241>, which have been intensively studied in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the chemistry of functions RC(MLk)(M1Ll) (M2Lm) (M, M1, M2 = metal) featuring three -bonds between carbon and metal atoms is in its infancy. Although several structural types of sp3-geminated trismetallics are known, information about these compounds remains sparse. Little further effort has been given to expanding this chemistry since the publication of COFGT (1995). This chapter therefore presents an illustrative summary of the methods used for the preparation of 1,1,1-trismetallic derivatives. Methods for preparing specific types of compounds were discussed previously <1995COFGT(6)171>.

6.06.3.1

Three Similar Metals

Isolable compounds of the type RC(MLm)3 (M = metal) are known with M = Li, Hg, Al, Sn, and Pb. Table 1 outlines the synthetic approaches to these species with an example from each major method. The limits of the methods have certainly not been fully explored and, up to the end of 2003, comparatively little has been published on work devoted to the use of trimetallomethanes as reagents for organic synthesis.

The following tentative generalizations may be useful. (i) Direct halogen–metal exchange in polyhaloalkanes by treatment with reactive metal, such as Li or Mg, is only of limited value for the preparation of polymetalated methanes due to -elimination of metal halide after the first step being faster than the halogen–metal exchange. However, these difficulties can be overcome by high-temperature reaction of polyhaloalkanes with

236

metal vapor (the Lagow procedure). This technique is especially suited for the preparation of organometallics of readily ionizable metals (Equation (18)).

(ii) The coupling reactions between chloroform and organostannyl- and organoplumbylmetallic compounds of the type R3MLi is the valuable route to the corresponding trimetallomethanes (Equation (19)). It is known that the metallate anions containing transition metals are among the strongest nucleophiles known to chemists. However, the synthetic potential of reactions between polyhaloalkanes and metallate anions of transition metals is not clear.

(iii) Much more easily accessible than the 1,1,1-trilithioalkanes are certain perlithioalkynes, for example perlithiopropyne (C3Li4), since alkyllithium reagents can abstract quantitatively not only the hydrogen atoms on sp-hybridized carbon atom, but also those of the adjacent methyl group (Equation (20)). Unlike alkynes, linear and branched alkenes upon treatment with organolithium reagents form only mono- and dilithiated derivatives. Typical saturated hydrocarbons are not acidic enough to form the polylithiated species by metal–hydrogen exchange with basic reagents. 4BunLi Hexane 75%

(iv) Metal–hydrogen exchange with Lewis acidic reagents, such as Hg(OAc)2, represents one of the most direct and convenient routes to 1,1,1-trimercurioalkane derivatives (Equation (21)). The method tends to fail, however, in cases where the CH bonds are not sufficiently acidic. Hg(OAc)2

The readily available trismetallics 152–155 <1983IZV636, 1980TCC109> may prove useful in the synthesis of other compounds having three dissimilar metals bonded to the same carbon; however, the synthetic potential of these species in transmetallation reactions remains unexplored.

Two Russian patents deal with the industrial preparation of CF4 by fluorination of activated carbon <2002RUP2181351> and of trifluoromethane <2002RUP2181352> with F2. According to a US patent, CF4 can be prepared by vapor-phase chlorofluorination of methane with Cl2 and HF in the presence of a catalyst such as CrO3 <1995USP5446218>. A similar process (fixed-bed reactor, reaction temperature 449 C) with trichloromethane as the starting material yields CF4 with 99.8% conversion and 29.1% selectivity <1997JAP09020695>.

A patented procedure for the preparation of CF3I calls for the interaction of pentafluoroethane with I2 in the presence of alkali metal or earth alkali metal salts <2000FRP2794456>. A flow reactor process carried out at 400 C in the presence of CuI converts a 1:1 iodine–trifluoroacetic acid mixture to CF3I <2001MI144>.

6.07.2

METHANES BEARING THREE HALOGENS

6.07.2.1 6.07.2.1.1

Three Halogens and a Chalcogen Three halogens and an oxygen function

(i) Trihalomethanols, CHal3OH (a) Trifluoromethanol. No new preparative procedures for CF3OH have become known. In an ion flow tube study, it was shown that CF3OH is formed from (trifluoromethyl)sulfur pentafluoride CF3SF5 and hydroxide anions <2003MI(223-224)403>. In the environment CF3OH appears to be formed in the upper atmosphere from trifluoromethoxy radicals and ambient hydrogen donors <2001CPL(345)435>. (b) Trichloromethanol. UV irradiation of methanolchlorinenitrogen gas mixtures generates, inter alia, CCl3OH, which again decomposes to C(¼O)Cl2 and HCl <2000CPL(322)97>. (c) Tribromomethanol. The acidity of the unknown CBr3OH has been investigated by quantum chemical methods <1995JPC12151>. All other CAS references to CBr3OH appear to be in error due to confusion with 2,2,2-tribromoethanol. (d) Dichlorofluoromethanol. Transient CCl2FOH is formed by insertion of 1D oxygen atoms into the CH bond of CHCl2F <1972JPC1425>. (e) Chlorodifluoromethanol. Transient CClF2OH is formed by insertion of 1D oxygen atoms into the CH bond of CHClF2 <1972JPC1425>.

Functions Containing Four Halogens or Three Halogens

249

(ii) Trihalomethyl ethers, CHal3OR 4-Amino- and 4-nitrophenol can be converted in 52–90% yield into the corresponding trifluoromethyl ethers CF3OAr by reaction with CCl4 or CCl3F in the presence of HF and one or several of the following catalysts: KF, NaF, SbCl3, SbCl5, SnCl4 TaCl5, TiCl4 <2001GEP10030090>. This is by and large a rediscovery of earlier findings along the same lines <1982JFC(19)553>. The aliphatic trifluoromethyl ethers CF3OCH2CF3 and CF3OCH(CF3)2 have been prepared by treatment of the corresponding alcohols with CCl4 and HF in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. The mixed trihalomethyl ethers CF2ClOCH(CF3)2 and CCl2FOCH(CF3)2 were also among the products <1995USP5382704>. 2-Methoxyaniline has been converted into 2-(trifluoromethoxy)aniline by protection of the amino group as an isocyanate (by treatment with C(¼O)Cl2), AIBN catalyzed chlorination of 2-methoxyphenyl isocyanate to 2-(trichloromethoxy)phenyl isocyanate (90% yield), halogen exchange with liquid HF at 100 C, and hydrolysis of 2-(CF3O)C6H4N¼C¼O to 2-(CF3O)C6H4NH2 <1998FRP2763940>. A particularly convenient and general method for the preparation of aliphatic and aromatic trifluoromethyl ethers CF3OR 8 has been found in the shape of the conversion of alcohols or phenols ROH 1 to the corresponding dithiocarbonates ROC(¼S)SMe 2, which in turn are converted into trifluoromethyl ethers CF3OR 8 by treatment with an N-halo imide such as 1,3dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin and the commercially available 70% HF/pyridine reagent (Olah’s reagent), cf. Scheme 1. In the case of R = secondary or tertiary alkyl or ArCH2, the milder 50% HF/ pyridine reagent is required to prevent the formation of the corresponding fluoride RF. Typical examples of 8 thus prepared are 2-benzyloxy-1-bromo-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene 1-Br-3(CF3O)C6H4 (56% yield), methyl 3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate 3-(CF3O)C6H4C(¼O)OMe (76% yield), 4-acetoxy-40 -(trifluoromethoxy)biphenyl 4-[MeC(¼O)O]C6H4C6H4(OCF3)-40 (80% yield), and hexadecyl trifluoromethyl ether CF3O(CH2)15Me (95% yield). The cited papers also review earlier methods for the preparation of trifluoromethyl ethers 8 <2000BCJ471, 2001JOC1061, 2001MI815>. With 14CS2, correspondingly labeled RO14CF3 can be obtained <2001MI815>. Fluorination of a methoxy to a trifluoromethoxy group takes place in the synthesis of the ester CF3CF2CF2OCF(CF3)C(¼O)OCF2CF(OCF3)CClFCClF2 from the acid fluoride CF3CF2CF2OCF(CF3)C(¼O)F, the ester CF3CF2CF2OCF(CF3)C(¼O)OCH2CH(OMe)CHClCH2Cl, and F2 <2002WOP2002026688>.

Chlorodifluoromethyl ethers (CClF2)OR are converted into trifluoromethyl ethers CF3OR in excellent yield and purity by treatment with BrF3 <2000JFC(102)363>. Aryl chlorodifluoromethyl ethers (CClF2)OAr are available both by condensation of the corresponding sodium phenoxide with CCl2F2 and by halogen exchange between the corresponding trichloromethyl ether CCl3OAr and liquid HF <2000JFC(103)81, 2001MI191>.

Functions Containing Four Halogens or Three Halogens

The selectivity of the photochlorination of aryl methyl ethers ArOMe with Cl2 to aryl trichloromethyl ethers CCl3OAr is improved by the removal of traces of the phenol ArOH in the starting material <2000WOP2000012456>. Photochlorination of the chiral methyl 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ethers CF3CHFOMe yields the corresponding chiral trichloromethyl ethers CCl3OCHFCF3 <1995JOC1319>. Reaction of 2,2,3-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)oxirane with C(¼O)F2 leads to 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-3-(trifluoromethoxy)propanoyl fluoride CF3CF(OCF3)C(¼O)F, which, after hydrolysis and decarboxylation, gives trifluoroethenyl trifluoromethyl ether CF3OCF¼CF2 <1997JOC6160>. Upon treatment with C(¼O)F2 and KF (the synthetic equivalent of potassium trifluoromethoxide CF3OK) 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate CF3S(¼O)2OCH2CF3 yields 56% 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethyl ether CF3OCH2CF3 <1995JAP07179385>; cf. <1995JAP07179386>. Dichlorofluoromethyl ethers (CCl2F)OR have been prepared by treatment of trichloromethyl ethers CCl3OR with SbF3 and Br2 <1995JOC1319>. Upon treatment with catalytic SbCl5 and an equimolar amount of dichloroacetyl fluoride CHCl2C(¼O)F as the fluoride donor, trichloromethyl 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl ether CCl3OCH(CF3)2 is converted into the corresponding dichlorofluoromethyl ether (CCl2F)OCH(CF3)2 <1999JFC(94)1>. A similar procedure with fluoromethyl 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl ether (commercially available as sevofluran) as the fluoride donor allows the conversion of trichloromethyl ethers CCl3OR to dichlorofluoromethyl ethers (CCl2F)OR and to chlorodifluoromethyl ethers (CClF2)OR, of dichlorofluoromethyl ethers (CCl2F)OR to chlorodifluoromethyl ethers (CClF2)OR, and of chlorodifluoromethyl ethers (CClF2)OR to trifluoromethyl ethers CF3OR <1998JFC(88)51>. Chlorodifluoromethyl 1,2,2-trichloro-1,2-difluoroethyl ether (CClF2)OCClFCCl2F, among other products, has been obtained by photochlorination of 2-chloro-1,2-difluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether CHClFCHFO(CHF2) (mixture of diastereomers). Minor products of the same reaction were difluoromethyl 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-2-fluoroethyl ether (CHF2)OCCl2CCl2F, dichlorofluoromethyl 2,2,2-trichloro-1,1-difluoroethyl ether (CCl2F)OCF2CCl3, and 1,2,2-trichloro-1,2-difluoroethyl trichloromethyl ether CCl3OCClFCCl2F <1997JFC(82)9>. Aryl bromodifluoromethyl ethers (CBrF2)OAr have been obtained from sodium arenoxides ArONa and CBr2F2 <2001MI191>. A series of aryl difluoroiodomethyl ethers (CF2I)OAr have been prepared in modest yields by treatment of CF2I2 with alkyl-, methoxy-, or halo-substituted phenoxides <2000JFC(102)105>.

(iii) Trihalomethyl esters Trichloromethyl chloroformate CCl3OC(¼O)Cl (the commercially available ‘‘diphosgene’’) has been made by exhaustive photochlorination of methyl formate HC(¼ O)OMe or methyl chloroformate ClC(¼O)OMe <1998CNP1172102>. A manufacturing concept for bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate CCl3O(C¼O)OCCl3 9 (the commercially available ‘‘triphosgene’’) converts 9 and methanol to dimethylcarbonate MeOC(¼O)OMe which is then photochlorinated to 9 of >99% purity. This reaction generates 3 mol. 9 per mol. 9 originally consumed <2002CNP1336361>. Another patent describes the photochlorination of dimethylcarbonate to 9 in 99% yield <1998JAP10007623>. The ester peroxides CF3OC(¼O)OOC(¼O)OCF3 and CF3OC(¼O)OOOC(¼O)OCF3 are formed by photolysis of a mixture of TFAA, CO, and O2. Thermal decomposition of CF3OC(¼O)OOOC(¼O)OCF3 also furnishes, inter alia, CF3OC(¼O)OOC(¼O)OCF3 <2000IC1195, 2002MI1>. Trifluoromethylnitrite CF3ONO (presumably formed in the reaction of trifluoromethoxy radicals with NO) decomposes at room temperature to C(¼O)F2 and FNO. The somewhat labile trifluoromethylnitrate CF3ONO2 has been prepared in 15% yield in a pressure reaction between CF3OF and NO2. It is also formed by rearrangement of the unstable trifluoromethyl peroxynitrite CF3OONO <2001ZAAC(627)655>.

(iv) Trihalomethyl hypohalites, CHal13OHal2 Three patents disclose new approaches to the synthesis of the commercially available trifluoromethyl hypofluorite CF3OF. It can be obtained from C(¼O)F2 and F2 in the presence of metal fluorides such as KF and CsF <2003JAP2003081919> and from CO2 and F2 in the presence of CsF <2002JAP2002003451>.

Functions Containing Four Halogens or Three Halogens

Dichlorofluoromethyl hypofluorite (CCl2F)OF and chlorodifluoromethyl hypofluorite (CClF2)OF have been prepared from bis(1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethenyl) ether (CF2¼CCl)2O and OF2. Chlorodifluoromethyl hypofluorite is also formed in the photolysis of a mixture of OF2 and 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropan-2-one <1968ZOB1410>. Trifluoromethyl hypochlorite CF3OCl, decomposing rapidly above 78 C, is formed by interaction of C(¼O)F2 with ClF in the presence of CsF <1986IS58>. Trifluoromethyl hypobromite CF3OBr, only observable at low pressure and temperature, has been obtained from CF3OCl and Bu4NBr3 in unspecified yield <1997IC2147>. Trifluoromethyl hypoiodite CF3OI has been observed as a product of the photochemical decomposition of the complex between CF3I and O3 <1985IC4234>. The hypothetical trichloromethyl hypochlorite CCl3OCl has been the subject of quantum chemical calculations <2000JPC(A)9581>. The fluorosulfenate CF3OSF has been prepared by UV irradiation of the isomeric sulfinyl fluoride CF3S(¼O)F <1988IC2706>.

(v) O-Trihalomethyl peroxides, CHal3OOR Bis(trifluoromethyl) peroxide CF3OOCF3 is commercially available. Difluorodioxirane CF2O2 reacts with C(¼O)F2 and CsF to form trifluoromethyl fluoroperformate FC(¼O)OOCF3 as well as oligomers of the type CF3O(OCF2O)nOC(¼O)F. The detailed reaction mechanism has been elucidated by 13C labeling <1999CC1671>. Trifluoromethyl peroxynitrite CF3OONO is a possible transient product of the photoreaction between CF3NO and O2 in an argon matrix <1987JPC3650>. Trifluoromethyl peroxynitrate CF3OONO2 (b.p. 0.9 C) has been obtained in 30–70% yield by photolysis of a mixture of CF3I, NO2, and O2 and removal of by-products by subsequent treatment with O3 <1998IC6208>; cf. <2001ZAAC(627)655>. Bis(trifluoromethyl) trioxide CF3OOOCF3 (m.p. 138 C) is most conveniently prepared in up to 87% yield by a pressure reaction of CsF, C(¼O)F2, and OF2 cf. <2001ZAAC(627)655>. The possible chemistry of the hypothetical bis(trifluoromethyl) tetroxide CF3OOOOCF3 has been considered theoretically <1997JCS(F)379>. The peroxide CF3OOC(¼O)OCF3 is one of the products of the photolysis of a mixture of [CF3C(¼O)]2O, CO2, and O2 <2000IC1195>.

(vi) Trihalomethyl sulfonates, CHal3OS(¼O)2R Trichloromethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate CF3S(¼O)2OCCl3 has been prepared in 90% yield from the mixed anhydride [CF3S(¼O)2O]3B and CFCl3 <1995JFC(73)17>.

(i) Trihalomethanethiols, CHal3SH Trifluoromethanethiol CF3SH is formed upon irradiation of trifluoromethanethioic acid CF3C(¼O)SH in an inert gas matrix <1997JST(407)171>. The reactivity of the hypothetical trichloromethanethiol CCl3SH has been investigated in depth by quantum chemical methods <2002JPC(A)11581>.

Functions Containing Four Halogens or Three Halogens

(ii) Trihalomethyl sulfides, CHal3SR 2-Biphenylyl trifluoromethyl sulfide CF3SC6H4Ph-2 has been prepared from the corresponding methyl sulfide MeSC6H4Ph-2 by the standard sequence of photochlorination (to give CCl3SC6H4Ph-2) (in 82% yield) and subsequent halogen exchange with HF (86% yield) <1999JAP11049742>. The syntheses of a large number of geminal bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl] compounds derived from the ketene 2,2-bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]ethenone (CF3S)2C¼C¼O have been described <1998JFC(89)9>. Sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (rongalite) HOCH2SO2Na is a useful auxiliary in the preparation of alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAlk from aliphatic thiols AlkSH and CBrF3 in that it suppresses the competing formation of disulfides AlkSSAlk <2000JFC(105)41>. Trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAr and CF3SR have been prepared in a pressure reaction of CF3CO2K with diaryl disulfides ArSSAr and thiocyanates RSCN, respectively <2001JFC(107)311, 2002USP2002042542>. Aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAr such as 2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl trifluoromethyl sulfide are available by heating of the corresponding diaryl disulfides ArSSAr with CF3CO2K in boiling tetrahydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide (sulfolane) <1999EP962450>. A 70% yield of 2-thiazolyl trifluoromethyl sulfide was obtained when 2-(trimethylsilyl)thiazole was treated with CF3SCl. The alternative reaction between 2-bromothiazole and CF3SCu was unsatisfactory <2002PS(177)2465>. Activated aromatic ring positions such as an unsubstituted 4-position of a pyrazole can be trifluoromethylsulfenylated to the corresponding sulfide CF3SAr with S-(trifluoromethyl) trifluoromethanethiosulfonate CF3S(¼O)2SCF3 <2002JAP2002338547>. O-(Trimethylsilyl)2,2,2-trifluoroethanal hemiaminals CF3CH(OSiMe3)NR2, together with tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate (De Shong’s reagent) [Bu4N][Ph3SiF2], convert disulfides RSSR to the corresponding trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SR in good yields <2001TL2473>. A modest yield of benzhydryl and 4,40 -disubstituted benzhydryl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SCHAr2 is obtained in the reaction between thiobenzophenone and 4,40 -disubstituted thiobenzophenones, respectively, and commercial trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane CF3SiMe3 (Ruppert’s compound) in the presence of TBAF <2002HCA1644>. Trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane CF3SiMe3 neatly reacts with thiocyanates RSCN (with TBAF catalysis) <1997TL65> and arenesulfenyl chlorides ArSCl (with TASF, i.e., tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate, catalysis) <1995JFC(70)255> to form the corresponding trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SR (30–87% yield) and aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAr (59–72% yield), respectively. The photolysis of mixtures of disulfides RSSR and the corresponding trifluorothioacetate CF3C(¼O)SR (available from TFAA and the corresponding thiol RSH) or trifluoromethanethiosulfonate CF3S(¼O)2SR (available from CF3SO2Na, RSSR, and Br2), dissolved in MeCN, constitutes a mild method for the generation of trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SR. In this way a highly functionalized trifluoromethyl sulfide such as methyl N-(trifluoroacetyl)-S-(trifluoromethyl)-L-cysteinate could be obtained in 60% yield. The reaction fails with aromatic substrates (R = Ar) <1999JOC3813>. Aromatic diazonium tetrafluoroborates ArN2BF4 react with CF3SCu to give the corresponding aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAr in high yields. The reaction fails when the aryl group is donor substituted <2000CC987>. Activation of CF3SAg, CF3SCu, or (SCF3)2Hg with inorganic iodides was found to promote the formation of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAr in their reactions with halonitroarenes. Quantitative yields can be achieved <2000JOC1456>. Especially active salts like CF3SM (M = K, Me4N) 10, cf. Scheme 2, can be employed in this reaction <1999JFC(95)171>. S Cl

Mixed trihalomethyl sulfides and related compounds such as CF3SSCF3, CF3SSSCF3, CF3SCH2I, CF3SCH2SCF3, (CCl2F)SCF3, (CBrClF)SCF3, and CF3SCH2CN have been obtained from copper(I) trifluoromethanethiolate CF3SCu and various halomethanes. Also, S-(trifluoromethyl) thiocarbonates and thio-ortho-carbonates are formed <1996JFC(76)7>. Trifluoromethanide anion, generated by treatment of CHF3 with t-BuOK at 30 C, can be sulfenylated to the corresponding aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides CF3SAr by treatment with ArSSAr, ArSCl, or PhS(¼O)2SAr in yields ranging from 60% to 90% <1998T13771, 2000JOC8848>. Tetracoordinate sulfur intermediates, formed in situ by addition of potassium t-butoxide to CF3S(¼O)OR or CF3S(¼O)NR2, decompose with formation of CF3, which in turn converts aliphatic and aromatic disulfides RSSR to the corresponding sulfides CF3SR in modest yields <2003SL233>. 1-(1-Pyrrolidino)cyclopentene and 1-(1-pyrrolidino)cyclohexene react with N-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]phthalimide to yield the corresponding -[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]cycloalkanones <2000SC2847> ,-Bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]enamines such as (CF3S)2C¼CHNEt2 are formed in a complicated reaction sequence starting from CF3SCl and certain tertiary ethylamines EtNR1R2 <1995JFC(70)45>. Trimethylsilyl enol ethers R2C¼C(R)OSiMe3 react with CF3SCl to yield the corresponding -[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]alkanones CF3SCR2C(¼O)R <2002PS(177)1021>. Aryl dichlorofluoromethyl sulfides (CCl2F)SAr have been prepared in a pressure reaction from the corresponding disulfides ArSSAr, sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate HOCH2SO2Na, and CCl3F <2001JOC643>.

(iii) Trihalomethyl sulfoxides and trihalomethyl sulfones, CHal3S(¼O)nR Different stereoisomers of 3,4-dimethylhexa-1,5-diyne-3,4-diol 11 react with CCl3SCl to give, via the corresponding bissulfenates 12, the corresponding 1,2-dimethyl-3,4-bis[(trichloromethylsulfinyl)methylene]cyclobutenes 13 with full stereochemical control, cf. Scheme 3 <2000TL6923>. 9-Fluorenyl trichloromethyl sulfoxide CCl3S(¼O)R (R = 9-fluorenyl) has been obtained by baseinduced rearrangement of 9-fluorenyl trichloromethanesulfenate CCl3SOR (R = 9-fluorenyl). Prop-2-enyl trichloromethyl sulfoxide CCl3S(¼O)CH2CH¼CH2 and 2-methylprop-2-enyl trichloromethyl sulfoxide CCl3S(¼O)CH2C(Me)¼CH2 can be rearranged to (E )-prop-1-enyl trichloromethyl sulfoxide (E)-CCl3S(¼O)CH¼CHMe and 2-methylprop-1-enyl trichloromethyl sulfoxide CCl3S(¼O)CH¼CMe2, respectively <1997T13933>. The phosphonate (MeO)2P(¼O)CH¼C¼CMe2 can be converted into the sulfoxide (MeO)2P(¼O)C(¼C¼CMe2)S(¼O)CCl3 by treatment with LDA and CCl3S(¼O)Cl <2000PS(166)265>.

While the oxidation of 1,2-bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]benzene 1,2-(CF3S)2C6H4 to the corresponding bissulfoxide 1,2-[CF3S(¼O)]2C6H4 is readily achieved with MCPBA the corresponding oxidation of the 1,4-isomer apparently requires a different oxidant, i.e., SELECTFLUOR, [1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate)], a source of electrophilic fluorine <2001USP6215021>. The insecticidal GABA-gated chloride channel blocker fipronil, 5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile 14 is an important commercial trifluoromethyl sulfoxide. Its industrial preparation by oxidation of the corresponding sulfide with trifluoroperacetic acid CF3CO3H has been fine tuned <2001WOP0130760>.

Protonated trifluoromethanesulfinic acid [CF3SO2H2]+ appears to be the reactive species in the CF3SO2Na(K)CF3SO3H mixture which converts arenes ArH with o,p-directing substituents to the corresponding sulfoxides CF3S(¼O)Ar with predominant p-substitution. Yields range from 55% to 82%. In the absence of activating substituents in the substrate, i.e., with benzene, only 24% yield can be achieved. With CF3OPh as ArH only one product, 1,4(CF3O)C6H4[S(¼O)CF3] is formed <2001SL550>. 1-Methylpyrrole could be trifluoromethylsulfinylated in the 2-position with an in situ reagent [equivalent to [CF3S(¼O)]+] prepared from CF3SO2Na and Cl3P(¼O) <1999T7243>. Trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane CF3SiMe3, in the presence of catalytic amounts of TBAF, neatly reacts with arenesulfinyl chlorides ArS(¼O)Cl to form the corresponding trifluoromethyl sulfoxides CF3S(¼O)Ar (53–61% yield) <1995JFC(70)255>. Tolyl trifluoromethyl sulfone CF3S(¼O)2C6H4Me-4 has been prepared in 83% yield from 4-MeC6H4S(¼O)2F, CF3SiMe3, and TASF <1995JFC(70)255>. Contrary to all other (mostly aromatic) sulfides tested, oxidation of phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfide CF3SPh with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane Me(CF3)CO2 is >99% selective towards the formation of the corresponding sulfoxide CF3S(¼O)Ph and no trace of the sulfone is formed <2002JA9154>. Bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfoxide CF3S(¼O)CF3 and phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfoxide CF3S(¼O)Ph have been prepared by reaction of dimethyl sulfite (MeO)2S(¼O) and methyl benzenesulfinate PhS(¼O)OMe, respectively, with CsF and CF3SiMe3 <1999JOC2873>. Dichlorofluoromethyl phenyl sulfone (CCl2F)S(¼O)2Ph is the major product (90% yield) of the oxidation of the sulfide (CCl2F)SPh with excess H2O2 in AcOH with the corresponding sulfoxide (CCl2F)S(¼O)Ph as the minor product (5% yield) <2001JOC643>. Methyl methanesulfonate MeS(¼O)2OMe and methyl benzenesulfonate PhS(¼O)2OMe, give methyl trifluoromethyl sulfone CF3S(¼O)2Me and phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfone CF3S(¼O)2Ph, respectively, when treated with CsF and CF3SiMe3 <1999JOC2873>. The extremely volatile sulfone [CF3S(¼O)2]3CF has been made from the corresponding lithium salt [CF3S(¼O)2]3CLi and F2. Contrary to expectation, it does not constitute a source of F+ <2003JFC(122)233>.

(iv) S-Trihalomethyl thio- and dithioesters, CHal3SC(¼Z)R (Z = O or S) An S-(trifluoromethyl) androstane-17-carbothioate RC(¼O)SCF3 has been prepared by trifluoromethylation of the corresponding carbothioic acid RC(¼O)SH with CBrF3 or CClF3 <1998ILP109656>. The S-thioester (CF3S)2CHC(¼O)SCF3 has been obtained by addition of CF3SH to the ketene (CF3S)2C¼C¼O <1998JFC(89)9>.

Bis(trifluoromethyl) disulfide CF3SSCF3 reacts with tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethene (Me2N)2C¼C(NMe2)2 to form the salt (Me2N)2C+– C+(NMe2)22CF3S the anion of which can be alkylated or arylated to give trifluoromethyl sulfides such as CF3SCH2Ph, CF3SC5NF4, and CF3SC6H3(NO2)2-2,4 in 80–95% isolated yield <2000JCS(P1)2183>.

Three halogens and an Se or Te function

(i) (Trihalomethyl) selenium compounds, CHal3SeR Tetramethylammonium trifluoromethaneselenolate [Me4N][CF3Se], a useful synthetic intermediate, is available in 65% yield from red selenium, CF3SiMe3, and Me4NF <2003JFC(123)183>. The syntheses of a large number of geminal bis[(trifluoromethyl)selanyl] compounds derived from the ketene 2,2-bis[(trifluoromethyl)selanyl]ethenone (CF3Se)2C¼C¼O have been described <1998JFC(89)9>. O-(Trimethylsilyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanal hemiaminals CF3CH(OSiMe3)NR2, together with tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate [Bu4N][Ph3SiF2], convert aromatic diselenides ArSeSeAr to the corresponding trifluoromethyl selenides CF3SeR in good yields <2001TL2473>. Trifluoromethanide anions, generated from CHF3 in different ways, react with diphenyl diselenide PhSeSePh to give phenyl trifluoromethyl selenide CF3SePh in fair yield <2000JOC8848>. Trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane CF3SiMe3, in the presence of catalytic amounts of TBAF, neatly trifluoromethylates selenocyanates RSeCN to the corresponding trifluoromethyl selenides CF3SeR (58–75% yield) <1997TL65>. A large number of new trifluoromethylselanyl compounds such as (CF3Se)3CF, (CF3Se)3CCl, (CF3Se)3CBr, (CF3Se)3CC(SeCF3)3, and (CF3Se)2C¼C(SeCF3)2 have been obtained from tris[(trifluoromethyl)selanyl]methylium hexafluoroarsenate [(CF3Se)3C][AsF6] as the common precursor <1996CB1383>. N-[(Trifluoromethyl)selanyl]succinimide has been prepared from trifluoromethaneselenyl chloride CF3SeCl and silver(I) succinimidate <1996CB1383>. A particularly mild method for the preparation of phenyl trifluoromethyl selenide CF3SePh in 58% yield consists of the photolysis of Se-phenyl trifluoromethanselenosulfonate CF3S(¼O)2SePh (prepared from CF3SO2Na, PhSeSePh, and Br2) in the presence of equimolar PhSeSePh <1999JOC3813>. Bis(trifluoromethyl) selenoxide CF3Se(¼O)CF3 has been prepared in 84% yield from dimethyl selenite (MeO)2Se(¼O), CsF, and CF3SiMe3 <1999JOC2873>. The same selenoxide CF3Se(¼O)CF3 has also been prepared from bis(trifluoromethyl) selenide CF3SeCF3 and hypofluorous acid HOF <2000JFC(102)301>.

(ii) (Trihalomethyl)tellurium compounds, CHal3TeR The chemistry of (trifluoromethyl)tellurium compounds has been reviewed. The key compounds described as useful intermediates are CF3TeCF3, CF3TeTeCF3, CF3TeI, and (CF3Te)2Hg <2001PS(171-172)113>. Aromatic Te-(trifluoromethyl) tellurocarboxylates ArC(¼O)TeCF3 are available by reaction of the corresponding acyl chlorides ArC(¼O)Cl with trifluoromethyl trimethylstannyl telluride CF3TeSnMe3. This same tellurium reagent replaces two of the three chlorine atoms of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (cyanuric chloride) with (trifluoromethyl)telluranyl groups. The reaction between CBr4 and CF3TeSnMe3 is assumed to give tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)tellurium (CF3)4Te which decomposes spontaneously to bis(trifluoromethyl) ditelluride CF3TeTeCF3 and tetrakis[(trifluoromethyl)telluranyl]ethene (CF3Te)2C¼C(TeCF3)2 <1999JFC(94)195>. Bis(trifluoromethyl)tellurium dichloride (CF3)2TeCl2 reacts with AgNSO to yield the labile tellurium compound (CF3)2Te(NSO)2 <2000JFC(102)301>.

(b) Secondary trihalomethylamines. The serendipitous formation of a secondary trifluoromethylamine was observed when the attempted simple halogen exchange of 2-(trichloromethyl)phenyl isocyanate 15 with HF yielded 2-[(trifluoromethyl)amino]benzoyl fluoride 16 rather than the expected 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate 17 <1982JFC(19)553>.

(c) Tertiary trihalomethylamines. Electrochemical fluorination of methyl 2-methyl-3-(dimethylamino)propanoate leads to 2% of the perfluorinated product (CF3)2NCF2CF(CF3)C(¼O)OCF3, together with, inter alia, 36% (CF3)2NCF2CF(CF3)C(¼O)F and 5% (CF3)2NC3F7. Similar results were seen in the electrofluorination of methyl 3-(dimethylamino)butanoate <1994JFC(66)193>. Solution-phase fluorination with F2 of TMEDA in the presence of NaF gives a 20% yield of the perfluorinated product (CF3)2NCF2CF2N(CF3)2 <2003JFC(123)233>. Secondary amines R1R2NH can be converted into the corresponding tertiary trifluoromethylamines CF3NR1R2 by treatment with BuLi, CS2, and MeI, and subsequent fluorination of the resulting methyl dithiocarbamate with [Bu4N][H2F3] and 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin. Labeled compounds 14CF3NR1R2 are obtained with 14CS2 <2001MI815>. A large number of tertiary trifluoromethylamines such as perfluoro-1,4-dimethylpiperazine CF3N(CF2CF2)2NCF3

have been obtained by electrofluorination of 1-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-4-methylpiperazine MeN(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH2C(¼O)OMe and related compounds <2001JFC(108)21>. Hexakis(trifluoromethyl)tetrazane (CF3)2NN(CF3)N(CF3)N(CF3)2 is formed in 90% yield upon photolysis of N-chloro-N,N0 ,N0 -tris(trifluoromethyl)hydrazine (CF3)2NN(Cl)CF3 <1995AG(E)586>.

(ii) N-(Trihalomethyl)amides, CHal3NRC(¼O)R The imines CF3N¼CF(CF3) and CF3N¼CF(C2F5) react with AcOH with loss of acetyl fluoride to yield the N-(trifluoromethyl)amides (CF3)NHC(¼O)CF3 and (CF3)NHC(¼O)C2F5, respectively <1988IZV833>.

(iii) Trihalomethyl isocyanates, CHal3N¼C¼O; trihalomethyl isocyanide dihalides, CHal3N¼CHal2 and N-(trihalomethyl)carbodiimides, CHal3N¼C¼NR All known trihalomethyl isocyanates CHal3N¼C¼O (Hal¼F, Cl, Br) have been shown to exist in equilibrium with their halotropic isomers, the halocarbonyl isocyanide dihalides CHal2¼NC(¼O)Hal with the latter strongly predominating <1996ZOB1715>. (a) Trifluoromethyl isocyanate. No further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of chapter 6.07.2.2.1 in <1995COFGT(6)211>. (b) Trichloromethyl isocyanate. This compound is listed in the 2003–2004 Aldrich catalog. However, early as well as more recent work has shown that its equilibrium with chlorocarbonyl isocyanide dichloride Cl2C¼NC(¼O)Cl lies completely to the right <1996ZOB1715>. (c) Tribromomethyl isocyanate. No further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of chapter 6.07.2.2.1 in <1995COFGT(6)211>. (d) Triiodomethyl isocyanate. There is no record of this compound. (e) Fluorodichloromethyl isocyanate. The isomeric fluorocarbonyl isocyanide dichloride Cl2C¼NC(¼O)F is available from Cl2C¼NC(¼O)Cl and AgF <1968AG(E)630>. (f) Bromodifluoromethyl isocyanate. Photochemical insertion of CO into the NBr bond of CF2¼NBr gives a 55% yield of (CBrF2)N¼C¼O. No halotropic equilibrium with CF2¼NC(¼O)Br or other isomers has been reported <1988JOC4443>. (g) Trifluoromethyl isocyanide difluoride. Pyrolysis of alkali metal 2-[bis(trifluoromethyl)amino]-2,2-difluoroethanoates such as (CF3)2NCF2CO2Na gives, among other products, difluoro-N-(trifluoromethyl)methanimine CF3N¼CF2 <1999JFC(95)161>. The defluorination of CF3N¼CF2 with Ph3P proceeds smoothly to yield 80%–90% trifluoromethyl isocyanide CF3NC <1995IC3114>.

(iv) N-Halo(trihalomethyl)amines, CHal13NRHal2 N,N-Dichlorotrifluoromethylamine CF3NCl2 is available by addition of ClF to ClCN in the presence of catalytic CsF <1991IC2699>. Addition of ClF to the hydrazone (CF3)2NN¼CF2 produces N-chloro-N,N0 ,N0 -tris(trifluoromethyl)hydrazine (CF3)2NN(Cl)CF3 <1995AG(E)586>.

(v) N-(Trihalomethyl)hydroxylamines, CHal3NR1OR2; trihalonitrosomethanes CHal3NO, trihalonitromethanes, CHal3NO2, and related compounds N,N-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-O-fluorohydroxylamine (CF3)2NOF is available from difluoro-N(trifluoromethyl)methanimine CF3N¼CF2 and OF2 in the presence of CsF, but decomposes spontaneously to trifluoronitrosomethane CF3NO and CF4. If the same reagents are used in the ratio 2:1 the hydroxylamine derivative 1,1,3,3-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-2,1,3-oxadiazane (CF3)2NON(CF3)2 is formed in 77% yield <1999JFC(99)145>. In the presence of CsF trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane CF3SiMe3 reacts with NOCl to form trifluoronitrosomethane CF3NO in 92% yield and with excellent purity <2002CC1818>. Another possibility for the preparation of CF3NO is the reaction of (CF3)2Cd with NOCl (yield 98%) <1995JFC(73)273>. Trichloronitrosomethane CCl3NO can be prepared on a commercial scale by photonitrozation of CHCl3 with NOCl <2001JAP2001002625>.

Functions Containing Four Halogens or Three Halogens

Tribromonitrosomethane CBr3NO and the mixed trihalonitrosomethanes CClF2NO, CCl2FNO, CBrCl2NO, and CBr2ClNO are on record in the older literature (with the extremely hazardous mercury(II) fulminate as the most common ultimate synthetic precursor) <1980SA(A)75> as is CBrF2NO <1953JCS2075>. A substantially simplified synthesis of trifluoronitromethane CF3NO2 has been achieved in the shape of the photoreaction of CF3I with NO2 (35% yield; only highly volatile by-products are formed which can be readily removed by treatment with excess CsF). This method could also be used to prepare the labeled CF15 3 NO2 <2002JFC(117)181>. A yield of 47% CF3NO2 is achieved in the reaction of isopropyl nitrate Me2CHONO2 with (trifluoromethyl)zinc bromide CF3ZnBr and AlCl3 <1995JFC(73)273>. Trichloronitromethane (chloropicrin) CCl3NO2 is commercially available as a versatile C1 reagent. Tribromonitromethane (bromopicrin), along with bromonitromethane and dibromonitromethane, has been obtained by bromination of nitromethane with t-butyl hypobromite Me3COBr in the presence of hex-1-ene (yield 71%) <1976JOC1285>. Treatment of nitromethane with a Br2/Cl2 mixture in the presence of water and NaOH yields 33% CBrCl2NO2, 35% CBr2ClNO2, 13% CCl3NO2, and 18% CBr3NO2 <1964USP3159686>. Neither triiodonitrosomethane CI3NO nor triiodonitromethane CI3NO2 are known except for a theoretical treatment of CI3NO2 <1972JST321>. Chlorodifluoronitromethane CClF2NO2 has been prepared by oxidation of chlorodifluoronitrosomethane CClF2NO <1953JCS2075>. The compounds CClF2NO2 and CBrF2NO2, respectively, have been obtained by treatment of difluoronitroethanoic acid with XeF2 and Cl2 or Br2. Corresponding treatment of chlorofluoronitroethanoic acid with XeF2, Cl2 and Br2, respectively, gives CCl2FNO2 and CBrClFNO2 <1988IZV2639>. The compounds CCl2INO2 and CF2INO2 have been considered theoretically <1972JST321>.

(vi) N-(Trihalomethyl)sulfenamides, CHal3SNR1R2 Simple trifluoromethanesulfenamides CF3SNR1R2 have been prepared from CF3SCl and secondary aliphatic amines <1995JFC(70)45>. Several imide type heterocycles have been N-sulfenylated with CCl3SCl <2000PS(161)213>.

(vii) Metal (trihalomethyl)amides, CHal3NRM No further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of chapter 6.07.2.2.1 in <1995COFGT(6)211>.

(viii) Miscellaneous compounds Trifluoromethyl azoxy compounds have been reviewed. In the case of (Z)-1-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)diazene 2-oxide (Z)-CF3N(¼O)¼NF, obtained from the reaction of trifluoronitrosomethane CF3NO with tetrafluorohydrazine N2F4, the structure could be confirmed by gas-phase electron diffraction although quantum chemical calculations showed the corresponding 1-oxide to be more stable by 12 kcal mol1. Apparently, the energy of activation for the corresponding isomerization is of considerable magnitude <2002IC6125>.

6.07.2.2.2

Three halogens and a phosphorus function

When triphenyl phosphite (PhO)3P is treated with excess CBrF3 and (Et2N)3P, an 85% yield of tris(trifluoromethyl)phosphine (CF3)3P is obtained <1996JFC(79)103>. Dichlorophosphines RPCl2 react with equivalent amounts of CBrF3 and tris(diethylamino)phosphine (Et2N)3P to give the corresponding bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphines (CF3)2PR 18, which upon further elaboration yield bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted phosphoranes. The phosphines 18 can be methylated with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate CF3S(¼O)2OMe to give the corresponding phosphonium sulfonates [(CF3)2P(R)Me][CF3SO3] <2002HAC650>. When bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphine (CF3)2PH is treated with tetraethylammonium cyanide Et4NCN, the bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphanide anion

261

[(CF3)2P] 19 is formed (with evolution of HCN). The phosphanide anion 19 is only stable below 30 C, but can be considerably stabilized as a CS2 adduct, [(CF3)2PCS2] <2002IC2260>. Alkylation of 19 with ethylene ditosylate 4-MeC6H4S(¼O)2OCH2CH2OS(¼O)2C6H4Me-4 leads to the bisphosphine (CF3)2PCH2CH2P(CF3)2 <2001IC3113>. Solution-phase perfluorination of 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane Me2PCH2CH2PMe2 affords the bisphosphorane (CF3)2P(F2)CF2CF2P(F2)(CF3)2 <2000JFC(102)333>. A poor yield (15%) of 1,2-bis[bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphino)]ethane (CF3)2PCH2CH2P(CF3)2 has been obtained upon treatment of 1,2-bis(dichlorophosphino)ethane Cl2PCH2CH2PCl2 with CBrF3 and (Et2N)3P <1992TL7601>. Both the tetraphosphetane [(CF3)P]4 and the pentaphospholane [(CF3)P]5 decompose to bis(trifluoromethyl)diphosphene (CF3)P¼P(CF3) which can be trapped in cycloadditions with alka-1,3-dienes <1995ZN(B)189>. The bis(trichloromethyl)phosphine 2,4,6-Me3C6H4P(CCl3)2 can be prepared in good yield by reaction of the phosphorane 2,4,6-Me3C6H4P¼CCl2 with CCl4 and (Et2N)3P <1992ZOB948>.

6.07.2.2.3

Three halogens and an As, Sb, or Bi function

Trihalomethylarsines such as (CF3)3As, (CF3)2As(CClF2), and CF3As(CF2Cl)2 can be obtained from solvent-free (CF3)2Cd and AsCl3. Also the corresponding dihaloarsoranes R1R2R3AsHal1Hal2 are formed <1995JOM(503)C51>. Trifluoronitrosomethane CF3NO reacts with trifluoromethylarsine (CF3)AsH2 to form the hydroxylamine derivative (CF3)As[ONH(CF3)]2 and with bis(trifluoromethyl)arsine (CF3)2AsH to give the analogous (CF3)2AsONH(CF3). The latter reacts with bis(trifluoromethyl)nitroxyl radicals (CF3)2NO to give, inter alia, (CF3)2AsON(CF3)2 <1996JFC(79)111>. The metal complex (CF3)2AsMn(CO)5 can be made from tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)diarsane (CF3)2AsAs(CF3)2 and pentacarbonylmanganese(I) iodide Mn(CO)5I <2002ZAAC(628)2523>. The cycloarsanes [(CF3)As]4.5 decompose to bis(trifluoromethyl)diarsene (CF3)As¼As(CF3) which can be trapped in cycloadditions with alka-1,3-dienes <1995ZN(B)189>. Tris(trifluoromethyl)antimony (CF3)3Sb has been prepared in 61% yield from (CF3)PbPh3 and SbI3 <2000OM2603>. Ligand exchange of the bismuthane compounds ArBiBr2 and Ar2BiCl with (CF3)2Cd yields (CF3)2BiAr and (CF3)BiAr2, respectively. The former rapidly disproportionates to (CF3)BiAr2 and (CF3)3Bi <1994JFC(69)219>. Tris(trifluoromethyl)bismutane (CF3)3Bi and copper(II) acetate react with each other to form (CF3)2BiOAc and CF3Bi(OAc)2. This mixture can be used in trifluoromethylations, for instance of [Bu4N][SPh], where CF3SPh is formed in undetermined yield <2000JFC(106)217>.

6.07.2.3 6.07.2.3.1

Three Halogens and a Metalloid Three halogens and a silicon function

Trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (CF3)SiMe3, trimethyl(trichloromethyl)silane (CCl3)SiMe3, and trichloro(trichloromethyl)silane (CCl3)SiCl3 are commercially available. The silanes (CClF2)SiMe3 and (CBrF2)SiMe3 are available by interaction of CBrClF2 and CBr2F2, respectively, with aluminum and Me3SiCl <1997JA1572>. Catalytic thermal decarboxylation of silyl trichloroacetates CCl3C(¼O)OSiMe2R gives the corresponding trichloromethylsilanes (CCl3)SiMe2R <1995IZV150>. Insertion of diaminosilylenes (R1R2N)2Si into a CCl bond of CCl4 gives the corresponding amino-substituted 1-chloro-2-(trichloromethyl)disilanes (R1R2N)2Si(CCl3)Si(Cl)(NR1R2)2 <2002JA4186>. A minuscule yield (3%) of 2,2-dibromo-1,1,3,3,5-pentamethyl-5-(tribromomethyl)-1,3,5-(trisilacyclohexane) 21 has been obtained by photobromination of 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyl-1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane 20 <2000CJC1388>.

Functions Containing Four Halogens or Three Halogens Three halogens and a boron function

Potassium tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)borate K[B(CF3)4] is available via treatment of ammonium tetracyanoborate NH4[B(CN)4], dissolved in liquid HF, with ClF3 or ClF. The primary step in this conversion is assumed to be an addition to the CN triple bond, cf. Scheme 4 <2001CEJ4696>. As a rule of thumb trifluoromethyl derivatives of tricoordinate boron are unstable while those of tetracoordinate boron are much more accessible. Thus, while tris(trifluoromethyl)borane (CF3)3B still eludes its isolation and characterization, its impressively stable adduct with carbon monoxide (CF3)3BCO (m.p. 9 C) has been prepared by partial hydrolysis of the salt K[B(CF3)4]. When (CF3)3BCO is dissolved in CD3CN at room temperature CO is evolved and the acetonitrile adduct (CF3)3BNCCD3 is formed <2002JA15385>. (Dimethylamino)bis(trifluoromethyl)borane (CF3)2BNMe2 22 reacts with N-sulfinylcarboxamides RC(¼O)N¼S¼O by [2+4]-cycloaddition leading to 23 and with N-sulfinylcarbamates ROC(¼O)N¼S¼O by concomitant [2+4]- and [2+2]-cycloaddition leading to 24 and 25, respectively, cf.

Three halogens and a germanium function

Iodotris(trifluoromethyl)germane (CF3)3GeI is commercially available. The compound (CF3)GePh3 has been prepared from Ph3GeCl and (CF3)2Cdglyme <2000OM2603>. When CF3I is heated with GeBr4 and copper bronze at 180 C, tribromo(trifluoromethyl)germane (CF3)GeBr3 is formed <2001MI765>. The phosphaethene HP¼C(F)NEt2 has been converted into (CF3)3GeP¼C(F)NEt2 by treatment with (CF3)3GeI and Et3N <2000ZAAC(626)1141>. Displacement reactions of (CF3)3GeI and (CF3)2GeI2 with Hg(NSO)2 lead to (CF3)3GeNSO 26 and (CF3)2Ge(NSO)2 27, respectively. Compound 26 suffers loss of SO2 with formation of sulfur diimide (CF3)3GeN¼S¼NGe(CF3)3 28. The corresponding condensation of 27 leads to the medium sized heterocycle (CF3)2Ge(N¼S¼N)2Ge(CF3)2 29, cf.

Phenylbis(trifluoromethyl)thallium(III) (CF3)2TlPh and bis(trifluoromethyl)thallium(III) acetate (CF3)2Tl(OAc) have been prepared from (CF3)2Cdglyme and PhTl(OAc)2 and Tl(OAc)3, respectively <1989IC2816>.

The compounds (CF3)SnPh3, (CF3)2SnPh2, (CF3)PbPh3, (CF3)2PbPh2, and (CF3)3PbPh are available by treatment of the corresponding halo(phenyl)metal compounds with (CF3)2Cdglyme <2000OM2603>.

Donor-free bis(trifluoromethyl)cadmium (CF3)2Cd is formed in quantitative yield from Et2Cd and CF3I <1995JOM(503)C51>. The mercury(I) compound CF3HgHgCF3 has not been observed yet in keeping with its theoretically predicted instability.

The anions tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)cuprate(III) [Cu(CF3)4], tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)argentate(III) [Ag(CF3)4], and tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)aurate(III) [Au(CF3)4], available by oxidation of lower-valency (trifluoromethyl)metal compounds, have been employed in the construction of superconducting BEDT-TTF salts <1999CCR(190192)781>. (Trifluoromethyl)gold(I) phosphine complexes (CF3)AuPR3 have been prepared from CF3SiMe3 and the corresponding alkoxides Au[OCH(CF3)2]PR3. The analogous reaction with CCl3SiMe3 leads to the corresponding labile products (CCl3)AuPR3. Starting from the gold(III) compound (CF3)Me2Au(OPh), CF3SiMe3, and a ligand PR3 the gold(III) complexes (CF3)Me2AuPR3 are obtained <2000ICA(309)151>.

6.07.2.4.6 Miscellaneous trihalomethyl transition metal compounds, CHal3MRn (M = transition metal) Attempts at oxidative addition of CCl4, CBr4, and CI4 to the Rh(I) complex RhCl(CO)(PPh3)(HNEt2) failed to yield the corresponding trichloromethyl-, tribromomethyl-, and triiodomethylsubstituted Rh(III) complexes, halogenation being observed instead <1998OM4966>.

Functions Containing Two Halogens and Two Other Heteroatom Substituents INTRODUCTION

Compounds or functionalities that consist of a central carbon atom attached to two halogens and two other heteroatoms that include chalcogens (O, S, Se, or Te), group V elements (N, P, As, Sb, Bi, B, Si, or Ge), main group metals (Sn, Pb, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Li, Na, K, Rb, or Cs), and transition metals (Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg, Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, or Pt) are generally rare. The most frequently encountered halogen is by far fluorine, with chlorine in the second place. One example of a mixed halogen is known whereas mixed heteroatoms are quite common. The most common heteroatom combinations are two oxygen, two phosphorus, and two sulfur atoms.

Difluoro compounds

Fluorocarbonylhypofluorite, FC(O)OF, is a relatively unstable product prepared in low yield from the UV irradiation of a mixture of F2 and bis(fluoroformyl)peroxide. The reactions of FC(O)OF have been limited to the preparation of difluorodioxirane, bis(fluoroxy)difluoromethane, and chloroxyfluoroxydifluoromethane <1995COFGT(6)249>. The yield of FC(O)OF was greatly improved by using a 12 W low-pressure UV lamp in place of a 350 W mediumpressure Hg lamp, as reported in the literature. Furthermore in the reaction of FC(O)OF with ClF, the yield of chloroxyfluoroxydifluoromethane was improved by using CsF doped with H2O instead of dry CsF <1995IC6221>. The chemistry of this compound has not yet been investigated. Difluorodioxirane is one of the most stable dioxiranes known. It was originally prepared by passing a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of FC(O)OF and ClF over a CsF catalyst <1995COFGT(6)249>. An improvement over this method has been achieved by using Cl2 and the new catalyst KHF2; difluorodioxirane was obtained in moderate but higher yields <1999CC1671>. The OO bond length in difluorodioxirane is 157.6 pm, and is the longest OO bond ever calculated and measured. This theoretically explains why it is a powerful oxidant and can readily undergo reactions that are typical of dioxiranes. It transfers oxygen to alkenes, forming epoxides and COF2 in high yield. Its reaction with 13COF2 in the presence of CsF was used to show that it reacts by ring opening of the OO bond (Equation (1)). A reasonable mechanistic proposal (Scheme 1) predicts trifluoromethoxy anion attack on the dioxirane peroxide bond to give CF3OOCF2O, which loses fluoride to form 1 or reacts further with dioxirane to form new oligomeric peroxides 2–4. The 13C distribution makes it clear that the predominant reaction is attack of CF3O on the dioxirane at oxygen and not at the more electropositive carbon.

Bis(fluoroxy)difluoromethane reacts with tetrafluoroethylene and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene to give bisethers of formula (RO)2CF2. Bis(fluoroxy)difluoromethane also reacts thermally and photochemically with perfluoro Dewar benzene; the reaction products were mainly complex copolymer mixtures, whereas a structure containing 1,1-difluoro-1,3-dioxolane was isolated in 6% yield <1995COFGT(6)249>. Previous preparations of halogenated 2,2-difluoro-1,3-dioxolanes used multistep processes but often in low or inconsistent yields <1976USP3978030>. Later the addition of bis(fluoroxy)difluoromethane to halogenated alkenes (CX2¼CX2) gave a better yield of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-dioxolanes <1995COFGT(6)249>. This method was further improved by carrying out the reaction of bis(fluoroxy)difluoromethane with halogenated alkenes (CF2¼CFCF3, CF2¼CFOCF2CF3, CF2¼CHCF3, CF3CF¼CFCl, CFBr¼CFBr,

The halogenated 2,2-difluoro-1,3-dioxolanes were obtained in 43–95% yields, together with 1,2-difluorotetrahalogenoethanes as side products.

4-(2,2-Difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile 5 is a fungicide which is metabolized by poultry into the N-hydroxy derivative. The latter has been synthesized in seven steps and 23% overall yield from 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carboxylic acid 6 <1989EUP333685>.

The latter and 2,20 -azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were heated with chlorine at 70 C and then at 150 C to induce chlorination to both C-2 and the methyl group. 4-Dichloromethyl-2,2-dichlorobenzo[1,3]dioxole 11 thus obtained was fluorinated by HF at 15 C to give 2,2-difluoro derivative 12, in high yield. Conversion of the CHCl2 group in 12 into an aldehyde group in 13 required heating in formic acid <1997EUP759433>.

Dichloro and dibromo compounds

The synthesis and reactions of these compounds remains an area very little investigated. Interest was focused in developing more efficient methods to synthesize dichlorodiphenoxymethane 17 and dichloroformals 19 <1995COFGT(6)249>. It has been claimed in a patent that the yield of 17 may be increased over the previous methods, by heating 16 in a mixture of PCl3 and POCl3 at 160–175 C, while passing chlorine into the reaction mixture (Equation (3)) <1998JAP10182538>.

Two Halogens and Two Sulfur Functions Difluoro compounds

Bis(trifluorothio)difluoromethane was first observed as a by-product in electrochemical fluorination (ECF) of carbon disulfide. Later it was shown that this compound could be prepared in high purity by direct fluorination of CS2. Oxidative additions to the SF3 groups and controlled BF3catalyzed solvolysis in liquid SO2 to give difluoromethanedisulfinyldifluoride 20 have been described. The chemistry of the latter with nitrogen nucleophiles has been investigated in detail

In this reaction no detectable amounts of the anhydride 23, expected as an intermediate, were found.

While ECF in anhydrous HF was used to prepare bis(fluorosulfonyl)difluoromethane from CH2(SO2F)2 <1997JFC(83)145>, the preparation of F2C(SO2Ph)2 required first the reaction of PhSO2CHF2 and NaOH in a two-phase system to give PhSO2CF2SPh, and second oxidation of the latter with H2O2 <1995COFGT(6)249>. Recently, F2C(SO2Ph)2 was prepared from PhSCHF2 by reaction with PhSO2Cl in the presence of aqueous NaOH, followed by oxidation of the product PhSO2CF2SPh with H2O2 <2002IC6118>. Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)methane 24 was first prepared by reacting methylmagnesium halides with trifluoromethanesulfonylfluoride in Et2O <1956JCS173>. Later the synthesis was improved by simply replacing Et2O by THF. ECF of 24 in anhydrous HF gave difluoromethyl derivative 25 in 25% yield, together with 5% of CF3SO2F (Equation (7)) <1998JFC(91)9>.

The related reaction of sodium thiophenoxide with BrCF2Cl in dimethyl formamide (DMF) at 40 C gave four products, the bromo and hydrogenated derivatives 29 and 30 and the chloro and bis(thiophenol)difluoromethane derivatives 31 and 32, in 60% overall yield (Equation (10)). Repetition of this reaction in the presence of nitrobenzene, a known inhibitor of electron-transfer processes, greatly reduced the yield of 32 (Equation (11)). This result indicates that 32 is formed through a radical chain mechanism. The condensation between dichlorodifluoromethane CF2Cl2

and sodium thiophenoxide under UV irradiation produced three products, 30 and 31 as minor products with 32 as the major product (Equation (12)). These facts strongly indicate that the reactions leading to 32 occur through a radical mechanism as depicted in Scheme 4 <1983JOC1979>. DMF

The work on the reactivity of dichlorodihalomethanes with thionate anions has been extended to CF2I2.

Repeating the reaction by changing the molar ratio of 37 to CF2I2 into 1:2 resulted in a drastic drop of the yield of 38 to 9% and the formation of two major products disulfide 39 and difluoromethane 40 (Equation (15)).

Halogen exchange reactions occur when bis(pentafluorothiophenol)dichloromethane 41 is heated with SbF3, SbF5, or CsF. Reaction of 41 with an excess of SbF3 at 150 C gave dithiocarbonate 43 as the main product and small amounts of bis(pentafluorothiophenol)difluoromethane 44 and disulfide 42 (Equation (16)). The reaction of 41 with SbF5 at 90 C resulted in an increase in the formation of difluoromethyl derivative 44 but the main product was the disulfide 42. (C6F5S)2CClF, C6F5SCF3, and dithiocarbonate 43 were also identified among the

At 225 C the reaction of 41 with excess anhydrous CsF without solvent gave difluoromethane 44 and polysulfides 46 as major products together with disulfide 42 and chlorofluoromethane 45 as minor products (Equation (17)).

Dichloro, dibromo, and diiodo compounds

In this category of compounds, the major interest has been the synthesis and reactions of halogenated 1,1,3,3-tetraoxo-1,3-dithietanes, halogenated 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexaoxo-1,3,5-trithianes, halogenated [1,3]dithioles, [1,3]dithiole-1,1-dioxides, and [1,3]dithiole-1,1,3,3-tetraoxides, dichloromethanedisulfenyl chloride, and bis(alkyl or arylsulfonyl)dihalogenomethanes <1995COFGT(6)249>. An interesting rearrangement of chloromethylsulfenylchloride 47 into 1-adamantylsulfonyl dichloromethyl pentachlorophenyl disulfide 48 occurred when 47 was left in CHCl3 for a few days (Equation (18)). In addition, refluxing an ethereal solution of 47 led to a quantitative yield of thiosulfonate 49 (Equation (19)). These reactions are postulated to occur via concerted mechanisms supported by AM1 calculations and from an experimental point of view, as the reactions take place in solvents of low polarity <1994JCS(P1)1251>.

Bis(substitutedsulfonyl)dihalogenomethanes for all four halogens have been known for over hundred years. Methods of synthesis include direct chlorination or bromination of gem-disulfones, halogenation of potassium salts of monohalogenated gem-disulfones, and the halogenation of benzeneiodonium ylides with halosuccinimides <1995COFGT(6)249>. An improved synthesis of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)methane 50 was accomplished by the action of methylmagnesium chloride on trifluoromethanesulfonylfluoride. The reaction of N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), and N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in carbon tetrachloride with 50 leads to the formation of the corresponding dihalogenomethanes 51 (Equation (20)) <1998JFC(91)9>.

A study of the interaction of pentafluorothiophenol 52 and CCl4 in the presence of AlCl3 led to the conclusion that at room temperature, 60 C, or 80 C and irrespective of the amount of CCl4 and AlCl3 used, dichloromethane 53 was formed as the main product together with minor products chloromethane 54 and disulfide 55 (Equation (21)). The origin of observed products is depicted in Scheme 5. The stability of compound 53 toward hydrolysis or further reaction with starting material and compound 54 is attributed to the inefficient stabilization of the adjacent carbocationic center that is involved in these reactions <1999JFC(98)17>.

They reacted with substrates such as FSO2OX, F5SOCl, and F3CO2H to give the corresponding addition products FSO2OCF2NFX, F5SOCCl2NCl2, F3COOCF2NHCF3, and F3COOCF2NHCF2CF2CFClX (where X = F, Cl, or Br).

The difluorocarbimide double bond in 61 is saturated in 20 min at room temperature by SF6OCl to give difluoromethane derivative 62 (Scheme 8). The reaction of difluorocarbimide 64 with (CF3)3COCl is much slower and requires 1 day to give difluoromethane derivative 65 (Scheme 9).

Representatives of this class of compounds are quite large in number. Difluoromethyldiamines, RNCF2NR1, were prepared by the addition of fluorine and cesium fluoride or chlorine to the nitrile function of cyanamides R3NCN. Addition of SF4, F4SO, Br2, and HgF2 or Cl2 and HgF2 to the latter has produced sulfur containing amine derivatives. Dihalogenodinitromethanes CX2(NO2)2 are derived from the treatment of PhI¼C(NO2)2 with Cl2, Br2, NCS or NBS, difluorodiazirine with N2O4 under UV irradiation, and Br2C(NO2)2 by reaction with ammonia and then with chlorine. UV irradiation of polyhalogenated diamines such as (CF3)2NCF2R produced the corresponding difluoromethylene gem-diamines. (Me2N)2CF2 was prepared by fluorinating tetramethylchloroformaimidinium chloride with KF in CH3CN. Bis(dialkylamino)difluoromethanes, (R2N)2CF2, are easily available via chlorination of tetraalkyl urea derivatives with oxalyl chloride followed by the fluorination of (R2N)2CCl+Cl salts with KF in CH3CN or 1,3dimethyl-2-imidazinone solutions <1995COFGT(6)249>. Recently, bis(dialkylamino)difluoromethanes have been used as precursors for fluorinated hexaalkylguanidinium salts. For example, the reaction of (Me2N)2CF2 75 with (dimethyl- or diethylamino)trimethylsilanes in CH3CN afforded the salts 76 (Equation (24)) <1999EUPO949226, 2002IC6118>. F F

In this category of compounds three-, five-, and six-membered halogenated azirine, 1,3-diazolidine, and 1,3,5-triazolinane derivatives are known.

Two Halogens and Two Phosphorus Functions Bis(phosphonates)

The interest in this category of compounds rests upon (dichlorophosphonomethyl)phosphonic acid Cl2C(PO3H2)2, a substance used in the treatment of increased bone resorption and malignant hypercalcemia, and also upon the diverse biological properties of ATP analogs. A general route to (dihalogenophosphonomethyl)phosphonic acids X2C(PO3H2)2 is halogenation of appropriate tetraesters H2C(PO3R2)2 to give (dihalogenophosphonomethyl)tetraesters X2C(PO3R2)2. Although for the hydrolysis step heating in concentrated hydrochloric acid was widely used, conversion of tetraesters X2C(PO3R2)2 into silyl derivatives X2C(PO3-TMS2)2, and hydrolysis with water was more convenient. Mixed tetraesters containing silyl esters were also synthesized in order to selectively hydrolyze the silyl ester groups. However, little is known about selective preparation of partial methylbis(phosphonate esters), due to the difficulties in obtaining pure compounds having exactly one, two, or three ester substituents. Nucleoside analogs have resulted from the coupling of X2C(PO3H2)2 with 50 -phosphoromorpholidate of adenosine. By an analogous manner, the CF2 analog of 30 -azido-3-deoxythymidine triphosphate was obtained. Several other nucleoside analogs were reported <1995COFGT(6)249, 1995T6805>. A general and selective method for the synthesis of dichloromethylbis(phosphonic acid) partial alkylesters 86 and 87 from tetraesters 85 makes use of tertiary or secondary amines as dealkylating reagents (Scheme 13) <1996TL3533>. The degree of demethylation was found to depend on

the type of amine and the length of the alkyl chains in the amine used. Treatment of tetraesters 85 (where R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = Me and R1 = R2 = Pri, R3 = R4 = Me) with Bu3N at 50 C led to the formation of the corresponding partial esters 86 (where Z+ is Bu3N+Me) in quantitative yield. Treatment of tetraesters 85 (where R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = Et, Pri, or Hex) with pyridine at 115–120 C afforded the respective partial esters 86 (where Z+ is C5H5N+Et, C5H5N+Pri, or C5H5N+(n-C6H14)) in 80–85% yield. Reaction of tetraesters 85 (where R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = Me, Et, or allyl, and R1 = R2 = Bu or Et, R3 = R4 = Pri or Me) with piperidine at 105–110 C resulted in the formation of the corresponding partial esters 87 (where Z+ is C5H10N+H) in yields ranging from 36% to 100%. When tetraesters 85 (where R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = Me, Et, Pri, n-C5H12, cyclopentane, or n-C6H14) were heated at 105–110 C with morpholine, the corresponding partial esters 87 (where Z+ is O(CH2CH2)2N+H) were formed in 20–80% yields. The mechanism of the reaction can be understood by considering that the tetraester acts as an N-alkylating agent (Equation (30)).

The synthesis of partial esters 91 uses tetraalkylesters 88 as starting materials (Scheme 14). Tetraester 88 (where R is Me) was treated with Bu3N while the other three were treated with pyridine to give ammonium salts 89. The latter are converted into the corresponding sulfonic mixed ‘‘anhydrides’’ 90 by reaction with mesyl chloride, and then treated with aqueous base in acetone to precipitate partial esters 91. The reaction mechanism of these products can be tentatively rationalized as depicted in Scheme 15. The obtained ammonium cation, R3N+R0 , possesses a very powerful election-withdrawing effect that probably attracts the chlorine of MsCl thus facilating sulfonation at PO. In the resulting intermediate, the POR bond is additionally weakened by the MeSO2-moeity allowing easy cleavage of the POR bond by the chlorine anion of the ammonium salt that leads to the product <1996TL3533>.

The heteroaryl-N-difluoromethyltrimethylsilanes 138 and 142 were quantitatively converted into their respective heteroarylium derivatives 139 and 143 (Scheme 26) <2001JFC(109)173, 2001SL374>.

Two Halogens and Two Silicon Functions Linear carbosilanes

Perchloro-1,3-disilapropane Cl2C(SiCl3)2, prepared by photochlorination of Cl3SiCH2SiCl3, was converted into Cl2C(SiF3)2, reduced to Cl2C(SiH3)2, and transformed into Cl2C(SiCl3) (SiMeCl2). Several other compounds in this category, for example, Cl2C(TMS)2, Cl2C(TMS) (SiMe2Cl), Cl2C(TMS) (SiMeCl2), Cl2Si(CCl2SiCl3)2, Cl2Si(CCl2SiF3)2, Cl2C(SiCl3) (SiMeCl2), F3SiCCl2SiF2CH2SiF3, and F3SiCCl2SiF2CHClSiF3, have been prepared by various methods. Dihalo and dimethoxycarbosilanes of the general formula (XMe2Si)2 reacted with difluorocarbene to give difluoromethylsilane derivatives F2C(SiMe2X)2. Further reactions of F2C(SiMe2F)2 with Grignard and organolithium compounds have been reported <1995COFGT(6)249>. Reaction of 1,1,1,2,2-pentamethyl-2-chloromethyldisilane 144 with AlCl3 in pentane led to the rearrangement product 145 in 65% yield (Equation (36)) <1996IZV1511>. The dibromide, Br2C(SiMe3)2, was prepared on a multigram scale and in near quantitative yield by the addition of methylene dibromide to lithium diisopropylamide in the presence of Me3SiCl at 110 C. The use of excess Me3SiCl may prevent decomposition of the presumed intermediate carbenoids [LiCHBr2 and BrLiC(SiMe3)2] before silylation and/or prevent CC formation between BrLiC(SiMe3)2 and Br2C(SiMe3)2. Compound 145 was used in the chromium(II)-mediated transformation of a variety of aldehydes into vinylbis(silanes), RCH¼(SiMe3)2 <1997JCS(P1)2279>. Me Me3Si Si CCl3 Me 144

Electroreduction of a mixture of ClF2C(SiMe3)2 and Me3SiCl in the THF/hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) solvent system and in the presence of Bu4NBr as an electrolyte support, resulted in the formation of Me3SiCF2SiMe3 148 (anion-derived product), as major product, and Me3SiCF2CF2SiMe3 147 (radical-derived product), as minor product. Compound 148 difluoro2 methylates aldehydes through the action of a difluoromethylene dianion, CF3 , equivalent <1997JA1572>. Difluoromethylbis(phenyl sulfone) 146, obtained by the oxidation of PhSO2CF2SPh with H2O2, and sulfone 74 reacts with Mg and TMSCl in DMF to produce 147 as the major product together with 148 as the minor product (Equation (37)) <2003JOC4457>. 25% 74

Methylene dibromide reacts with lithium aluminum hydride (LDA) in THF at 78 C and then with diphenylmethylsilyl chloride 150 gave, via the lithium salt 149, the dibromosilylmethane 151. The latter was deprotonated by LDA under the same conditions and the resulting lithium salt 152 was silylated with Me3SiCl to yield the dibromodisilylmethane 153 (Scheme 27). By a similar type of reaction, CB4 and silyl chloride 150 reacted in the presence of 2 equiv. of n-BuLi to yield Br2C(SiMePh2)2 in 75% yield <2001CL956>.

Cyclic carbosilanes

In this category, representative compounds are five-membered rings 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5decachloro[1,3]disilolane and 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-heptachloro-5-trimethylsilanyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-[1,3]disilole and the six-membered ring 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-dodecachloro[1,3,5]trisilinane. Several derivatives of these compounds have been synthesized and their chemistry explored <1995COFGT(6)249>. Photobromination of trisilacyclohexane 154 with NBS in CCl4 led to the formation of a mixture containing trisilacyclohexanes 155 and 156 in a ratio of 1:1 and about 10% of compound 157. Isolation of 155 and further photobromination afforded 156 in 90% yield (Scheme 28). Compound 157 was obtained in 70% yield by reacting 155 with ICl and treating the intermediate 158 with LiCBr3 (Scheme 29) <2000CJC1388>. Me

TWO HALOGENS AND TWO METAL FUNCTIONS

Several compounds in this category are represented by the general formula X2C(SnR3)2 and are prepared by the insertion of dichlorocarbene into tin derivatives R3Sn–SnR3. However, compound Br2C(SnMe3)2 could also be prepared by coupling of Me3SnCBr2TMS with Me3SnCBr2MgCl <1995COFGT(6)249>. The reaction of Na2[Fe2(CO)8] with Br2CF2 in pentane generates (CO)3Fe(-CO)2(CF2)Fe(CO)3 159. Compound 159 reacts with PPh3 with replacement of two CO ligands to form Fe2(CO)6(-CF2)(PPh3)2 160. Both complexes 159 and 160 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A simplified structure of 159 and 160 extracted from the molecular structure is depicted below <2001ZAAC(627)1859>.

Functions Containing One Halogen and Three Other Heteroatom Substituents INTRODUCTION

The literature search done for this chapter showed that little work has been done in this area. Many subsections of the corresponding chapter in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271> had no relevant work done during the period 1993–2003 as shown by a literature search and confirmed by a search of authors, whose groups were researching in this area. Where no literature was found, a summary of the work reported in the corresponding sections of COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271> is provided. In addition, we have included a summary for a better comparison of the functional group transformations. Chalcogens is a term used for group 16 elements or the oxygen family.

ONE HALOGEN AND THREE CHALCOGENS

6.09.2.1

One Halogen and Three Oxygen Functions

These functional groups are called halo orthoformates. In COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>, halo orthoformates were made by halogenation of orthoformates or carbonates, and by displacement by substituted oxygen nucleophilies on carbon tetrachloride. Halogen exchange on a halo orthoformate has also been used in preparing such compounds. Huang and DesMarteau have reported an interesting work on fluorination and reactions of a few fluoro compounds to give the fluoro orthoformates <2001JFC363, 1999CC1671>. The reaction of bis(fluoroformyl) peroxide with fluorine in the presence of cesium fluoride or potassium fluoride produces FOCF2OOC(O)F in 60% yield along with a small amount of FOCF2OOCF2OF. The hydrolysis of difluorofluoroxymethyl fluoroperformate gave FOCF2OOC(O)OOCF2OF, which on fluorination gave the corresponding fluoro orthoformate (Equation (1)). O O FOF2C

The approaches to halo thioorthoformate derivatives are very similar to those used for the corresponding oxygen compounds, halo orthoformates as shown in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>. However, sulfur can show more than two valencies and this leads to different types of halo thioorthoformates. Halo thioorthoformates can be acyclic or cyclic and the sulfur can be in sulfide, sulfoxide, or sulfone oxidation states. Halogenation of thiocarbonates either with halogens or with sulfenyl halides leads to halo thioorthoformates. Halogen exchange can also convert one halo thioorthoformate into another halo thioorthoformate. During the decade 1993–2003, little work was reported in this category. Senning and co-workers described the reactions of sulfenyl chlorides, in particular, chloro[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl] (phenylthio)-methanesulfenyl chloride 1, and chloro[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl] [(1-methylethyl)thio]methanesulfenyl chloride 2 <1998SUL19, 1999SUL73, 1994PS(86)239> with thiobenzoic acid, 4-amino-ethylbenzene, and aniline. Compound 1 is dehalogenated by potassium iodide to a trithiocarbonate derivative (Equation (2)).

Tris(perfluoroorganochalcogenyl)methyl compounds are useful starting materials in organic chemistry. Thus (F3CS)3CCN easily undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of H2SO4 to the corresponding amide and reacts with oxalyl chloride to give the tris(trifluoromethylthio)methyl isocyanate. A number of methods are available for the synthesis of (F3CS)3CCN, however, the nucleophilic substitution of bromide in (CF3S)3CBr with silver cyanide is the most simple and convenient of them all (Equation (3)) <1994CB449>.

Tris(trifluoromethylselenyl or sulfuryl)carbenium, (CF3Z)3C+, (Z = Se or S) moieties are suitable synthons for the preparation of (CF3Z)3C halides <1996CB1383>. The carbenium ions prepared by the reaction of (CF3Se)3CF with arsenic pentafluoride in liquid SO2 medium on treatment with potassium halides provide (CF3Se)CX, (X = F, Cl, Br). The same approach is not extendable to the iodo analog as it gives the diseleno derivative and other olefinic compounds. Arsenic pentafluoride oxidizes tetra(trifluoromethylthio)methane, (F3CS)4C, to yield a stable salt, (F3CS)3C+ AsF6. This salt reacts with halide ions to form halo tris(trifluoromethylthio)methane, (F3CS)3CX (X = F, Cl, Br) as mentioned above for the equivalent selenium compound. In the case of iodide, it is oxidized to iodine with the formation of (F3CS)3CC(SCF3)3 <1994CB597, 1996JFC7>. Tris(trifluoromethylthio)carbonium arsenic hexafluoride, (F3CS)3C+ AsF6, easily abstracts a fluorine from 2,2,4-trifluoro-4-(trifluoromethylthio)1,3-dithietane to give (F3CS)3CF and 2,2-difluoro-4-(trifluoromethylthio)-1,3-dithietane hexafluoroarsenate (Equation (4)).

Cyclic diaryliodonium salts fall under this category of halo thioorthoformate where all three sulfurs are in the sulfone form. These compounds showed generally poor reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution reactions. This surprisingly poor reactivity of cyclic diaryliodonium salts with nucleophiles was solved, shedding light on its mechanism <2000CSR315>. Bozopoulos and co-workers have determined the crystal structure of 2,20 -biphenyleneiodonium (methylsulfonyl) bis(phenylsulfonyl) methylide 3 <1994MI528>. The crystal structure of 3 showed that the two iodine carbon bonds and the two iodine oxygen secondary bonds to different sulfonyl groups, form a distorted planar tetragonal co-ordination around the iodine atom. Another feature of interest is the delocalization occurring in the carbanion and its planarity. O O S Me O O Ph S C S Ph O I O

The starting sulfenyl chloride gives (1-admantylsulfonyl)dichloromethyl pentachlorophenyl disulfide if left in CHCl3 for a few days, whereas it forms S-[(pentachlorophenylthio) dichloromethyl] adamantane-1-thiosulfonate when refluxed in ether or left standing in CHCl3 for a much longer time.

Halo dithioorthoformates have been obtained by the halogenation of dithiocarbonates <1995COFGT(6)271>. No new reports on the preparation of these halo dithioorthoformates for the review period 1993–2003 were found.

6.09.2.3

One Halogen, Selenium, and Sulfur Function

Halo selenothioorthoformates have been obtained by halogenation of diselenothiocarbonate and by the reaction of either selenyl or sulfenyl chloride with selenothiocarbonates <1995COFGT(6)271>. No new synthetic approach has been reported during the period 1993–2003 on this class of halo selenothioorthoformates.

These compounds, referred to as substituted halomethane derivatives, in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271> are made by the addition of peroxides to cyanogen chloride, and by either addition of diazonium salts, or adding a nitration mixture to halo diarylsulfonylmethanes. The nitrogen part of this functional group can also be an azide.

Moss and co-workers have reported the improved synthesis of alkoxychlorodiazirines <2002JPC12280> by a procedure similar to one reported by Smith and Stevens mentioned in COFGT (1995) (Scheme 2) <1995COFGT(6)271>. A mixture of octanol, cyanamide, and anhydrous trifluoromethanesulfonic acid was heated in chloroform under nitrogen, to give octyloxyisouronium trifluoromethane sulfonate (Step 1). This was then treated with LiCl in dimethyl sulfoxide and pentane as solvent, and subsequently with sodium hypochlorite to give the octyloxychlorodiazirine (Step 2).

This class of compounds has been made by the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction, between triethylphosphite and trichloromethyl phenyl ether <1995COFGT(6)271>. Halogenation of alkoxymethylene (or alkylthiomethylene) bisphosphonates also leads to this class of compounds <1995COFGT(6)271>. No new reports were found in the period 1993–2003.

6.09.4.2

One Halogen, One Sulfur, and Two Silicon Functions

There have not been any reports of the synthesis of this class of compounds in the period 1993–2003. Some examples were made previously by halogenation of bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl sulfides as reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>.

The simplest synthetic route for halonitromethanes is the halogenation of trinitromethane potassium salt <1994ZOR704>. Fluoro--azidodinitromethane was prepared (Equation (7)) by reacting -(difluroamino)trinitromethane with sodium azide (NaN3) in the presence of dimethylformamide (DMF) and CH2Cl2 to give 37% yield of the desired product <1997MI324>.

Compound, FC(NO2)2NF2 behaves similarly to FC(NO2)3, with respect to stability and decomposition. The Arrhenius parameters were determined for the decomposition rates controlled by rupture of a CNO2 bond in both the gaseous and the liquid states <1995IZV649, 2000MI234>.

Poly(fluoroamino)halomethanes come under this category and are used as bleaching and pyrotechnic agents. Several patents were known on these compounds, however, in the early 2000s only a few reports were available in academic journals <1995COFGT(6)271>.

6.09.5.1.4

6.09.5.1.5

Fluorine-containing diaziridines

These compounds have been reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271> to be made either by rearrangement of fluorinated guanidines or by reductive defluorination cyclization sequence as discussed earlier for (difluoroamino)-fluorodiazirine. No new reports were found for the preparation of these fluorine-containing diaziridines in the decade 1993–2003.

6.09.5.2

One Halogen, One Nitrogen, and Two Phosphorus Functions

No new reports have been available in the period 1993–2003 for the preparation of these compounds. Compounds in this class of this with two phophoryl groups and the nitrogen in the form of either an isocyanato group or an ammonium group were reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>. The halo diphosphonylmethyl isocyanate compounds have been made by double nucleophilic displacement with trialkylphosphites on trichloromethyl isocyanate. The corresponding ammonium compound has been made by chlorination of diphosphonylmethyl trimethyl ammonium salt.

6.09.5.3

One Halogen and Three Phosphorus Functions

Blackburn and co-workers <1998CC2619, 1999PS(144)541> described the preparation of halogenated methanetriyl trisphosphonic acids and their esters for incorporation into analogs of adenosine 50 -triphosphate <1999AG(E)1244>. They envisaged that multiplicity of anionic charge is a major factor in protein affinity. Tetraisopropyl methylenebisphosphonate was reacted with diethyl chlorophosphite in the presence of NaHMDS (sodium hexamethyl disilazane), followed by oxidation with iodine to give methanetriyl trisphosphonic ester (Scheme 4). The resultant ester was treated with NaOCl to give chloromethane trisphosphonate ester, treatment with FClO3 gives the fluoro derivative (Scheme 5). Both the haloesters are hydrolyzed by trimethylsilyl bromide and Bu3N to afford the corresponding halo-substituted acids, which are good in ligation of calcium ion and useful as potential bone affinity agents.

6.09.6.2

Metal Bis(phosphonyl) Halomethides

Alkali metal salts of alkylidenebis(phosphonic acid) or esters have been widely used in laundry detergents, and have some biological applications. Little progress has been made in the decade, 1993–2003, on these compounds since they were covered fully in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>. They are usually made from the dichloromethylene bis(phosphonic acid) ester and either a metal base or an amino base <2001WOP0121629, 1999WOP9920634>.

This class of compounds, organosilanes was thoroughly covered in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>. A widely used procedure is the halogenation of the corresponding active dialkylmagnesium compound. For instance, the reaction of I2 and Br2 with Mg(Tsi)2 (Tsi = (Me3Si)3C) gives TsiI and TsiBr, respectively. Mg(Tsi)2 was obtained by heating the lithium magnesate [Li(THF)2(-Br)2Mg(Tsi) (THF)] in vacuum. Whereas, the TsiCl was prepared by reacting the dialkylmagnesium with benzenesulfonyl chloride (Scheme 6) <1994JOM(480)199>.

There have not been any reports of the preparation of this class of compounds since COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271> was published. These compounds can be prepared from tetraborylmethanes by the following methods: tetraborylmethanes are converted into triborylmethides on treatment with alkyl lithiums, which on further halogenation leads to the expected final products. A similar approach was used to make the metal function containing class of compounds. Triborylmethyl halides on treatment with alkyl lithium followed by organometal halides leads to the expected products, diborylhaloorganometallomethanes.

6.09.8.2

No reports have been found for this class of compounds since the publication of COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)271>. These compounds have been prepared from dihalobis(trimethylsilyl)methanes, which on reaction with alkyl lithium generates halobis(trimethylsilyl)methides. The lithium in these methides could be exchanged with other metals leading to the final products.

The traditional approaches to ortho-carbonates (RO)4C using chloropicrin CCl3NO2, trichloroacetonitrile CCl3CN, cf. references <2002EUP1207147> and <2002GEP10121116>, trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride CCl3SCl, or N-(trichloromethyl)imidocarbonyl dichloride (CCl3)N¼CCl2 as C1 donor in ortho-carbonate syntheses have been supplemented by a procedure using CS2. Monovalent and divalent alcohols (or phenols) react with CS2 in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of CF3CO2Ag and excess Et3N to form ortho-carbonates (RO)4C in excellent yields (Equation (1)). Tetraethyl ortho-carbonate (EtO)4C is formed in 61% yield, tetraphenyl orthocarbonate (PhO)4C in 68% yield, and the spiro compounds 1–4 in 33%, 75%, 31%, and 20% yield, respectively <1998H(48)461>. 307

Heating of O,O-bis(4-chlorophenyl)iminocarbonate (4-ClC6H4O)2C(¼NH) to 180 C gives a very low yield of tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl) ortho-carbonate (4-ClC6H4O)4C <1992JPR(334)95>. 2,2-Diphenoxy-1,3-dioxan has been prepared in 80% yield from 1,3-propanediol and dichlorodiphenoxymethane (PhO)2CCl2 <1999AJC657>. Dialkoxydichloromethanes react with alcohols in the presence of FeCl3 to yield the corresponding ortho-carbonater <1991IZV198>. Propylene carbonate 5 adds epichlorohydrin 6 in the presence of BF3 to form 2-(chloromethyl)8-methyl-1,4,6,9-tetraoxaspiro[4.4]nonane 7 as a mixture of stereoisomers (Scheme 1) which upon treatment with EtONa 7 forms the corresponding methylene derivative 8 <2002MI588>. A spirooligomer 9 is formed when pentaerythritol C(CH2OH)4 is treated with (EtO)4C at 260 C for 12 h <2002JA4942>. Other bis(hydroxymethyl) compounds form spirocyclic ortho-carbonates upon heating with (MeO)4C and acid <1992JAP04164085>. Spirocycli ortho-carbonates are also avialable from cyclic carbonates and oxiranes in the presence of 1-alkylpyridinium salts <1990CL2019>.

Tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)tetrathio-ortho-carbonate (CF3S)4C has been obtained in 61% yield from CBr2Cl2 and (CF3)SCu <1996JFC(76)7>. Spirocyclic 1,4,6,9-tetrathiaspiro[4.4]nonanes are formed in very low yields (4–5%) when 1,3-dithiolan-2-ones are treated with thiiranes <1996JCS(P1)289>. A particularly neat high-yielding access to spirocyclic tetrathio-ortho-carbonates such as 16 has been found in the reaction between 2H-benzo[b]thiete 14 and cyclic trithiocarbonates such as 15 (cf.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter is arranged in a manner identical with that of the corresponding chapter in COFGT (1995). At first those compounds are discussed with a group V (15) element at the carbon atom followed by compounds with metalloids (other main group elements), and finally by transition metal functionality. Compounds with dissimilar atoms at the carbon atom are arranged after compounds with similar atoms.

DICHALCOGENOMETHANES

6.11.2.1

Methanes Bearing Two Similar Chalcogens

Dichalcogenomethanes with similar chalcogens and further atoms other than chalcogens or halogens have only been described with O2C, S2C, and Se2C; compounds with the Te2C unit had not been found up to the end of 2003.

6.11.2.1.1

Two oxygens and a group V (15) element and/or a metalloid and/or a metal function

Until 2003, compounds with the (RO)2C unit bonded to group V (15) elements other than N were not described. Further compounds were found in which this unit is connected to silicon (O2CSi2 core) and boron (O2CB2 core).

(i) Compounds with the O2CN2 core One group of compounds with this core are urea acetals; however, the majority are spiro compounds and have been reviewed earlier by Kantlehner and co-workers in COFGT (1995). The reaction of [C(NMe2)3]BF4 with the system NaH/H2NMe2/B(OMe)3 produces (NMe2)2C(OEt)2 1 along with (NMe2)C(OEt)3, (NMe2)3C(OEt) (see OCN3 core), and Me2NCOOEt as a nonseparable mixture <2000JPR256>.

A series of spiro fused oxaziridines 2 and 3 were synthesized by reacting the corresponding semicarbazone R2C¼NNHC(O)NR0 (CH2)nOH (n = 2, 3) with PhI(OAc)2 in CH2Cl2 or CH3OH; the compounds were separated and purified by chromatography followed by bulb-to-bulb distillation; the individual compounds are collected in Table 1 <1996JA4214, 1997CJC1264, 1997CJC1281>. Theoretical studies have been done on these oxaziridines <1999CJC1340>. Table 1 R and R0 of the compounds 2 and 3 2 R

6.11.2.1.2

Two sulfurs and a group V (15) element and/or a metalloid and/or a metal function

The majority of compounds in this section involve the coordination chemistry of the adduct S2CPR3 in which the two S atoms and the C atom interact with a mononuclear or dinuclear transition metal fragment in an allyl-like manner. In addition to the earlier described compounds with the S2CPMo, S2CPW, and S2CPMn core, compounds with the cores S2CPFe and S2CPCo are also now available. The coordination mode of the S2CPR3 ligand was studied earlier.

(i) Compounds with the S2CN2 core There are only a few compounds described in the literature with the S2CN2 core, and because of the different nature of the compounds a common method of preparation for these compounds cannot be formulated. The spirocyclic compounds (10a–10e) were obtained by intramolecular ring-closure by heating the appropriate starting material in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as shown in Scheme 2; yields and melting points are shown in Table 2 <2000SL1464>. The similar spirocyclic compound 11 was obtained in 53% yield by the reaction of N-phenylbenzohydrazonoyl chloride with the 5-benzylidene-3-phenyl derivative of rhodamine in CHCl3 in the presence of NEt3; the structure was confirmed by an X-ray analysis (Scheme 3) <1999AX1877>.

(xv) Compounds with the S2CPMo core The coordination chemistry of the adduct S2CPR3 (R = Me, Et, Cy) and various molybdenum compounds has been explored by Miguel and co-workers. This ligand coordinates in an 3-pseudoallylic manner to one or two transition metals or to one transition metal and a main group element with formation of an S2CPM core. Molecular orbital (MO) analysis of the fluxional behavior of M(S2CPMe3)(CO)2(PMe3)2 complexes (M = Mo, W) was studied in <1996IC2406>. The Br-bridged complex of the general formula (CO)3M0 (-Br)(-S2CPR3)M(CO)3 (where M0 = Re and M = Mo) was a starting complex for various other species. The complex 32 (Scheme 11, R = Cy) can be reduced with Na/Hg at 78 C in THF to an anionic species, which by subsequent addition of Ph3SnCl gives the yellow complex 33; on warming to room temperature, 33 is reversibly converted into the red compound 34 and an equilibrium of 4/5 of both complexes is reached at room

temperature; both compounds were studied by X-ray analyses <1999OM490>. Reduction of 35 with Na/Hg in THF produces the anion 36 with formation of an MoMn bond (Scheme 12). The addition of ClSnPh3 causes migration of the central carbon atom of the S2CPR3 ligand from Mo to Mn to give compounds 37 with the S2CPMn core, which are converted into 38a–38d on addition of the ligands dmpm or tedip. The same reaction sequence occurs, if two CO groups are replaced in 35 by the chelating ligands dmpm or tedip to give 39a–39d and 40a–40d (see Table 3) <1995JOM(492)23>. Further, 35 reacts with NaCCPh and NaCCH to give the acetylene-bridged derivatives 41 and 42, respectively, in high yields (Scheme 13), which were characterized by X-ray analyses <1998JA417>. The Br-bridged complex 43a (M = Mo) is shown in Scheme 14; the Mo complex (see also compound 43b with S2CPW core) was obtained with Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3 in 90% yield. The complex 43a with the MoBrMo arrangement reacts with monodentate ligands to give nearly quantitatively the related complexes 44 or with chelating ligands to produce the complexes 45 in 60% and 80% yields, respectively. The crystal structure of 44 (L = PEt3) is shown <1997JOM(545-546)327>. PR3

MONOCHALCOGENOMETHANES

The majority of compounds in this section contain a 3-CER carbyne ligand (E = chalcogen) bridging a triangular face of a transition metal cluster compound. R can also be a 16- or 17-electron transition metal fragment, e.g., C5H5Fe(CO)2, Mn(CO)5, etc. In this case the CE unit can be considered as 4-bridging. Not included are cluster compounds in which only the 16-electron ligand CE coordinates at an appropriate trinuclear cluster in a 3-manner. The bonding of a CER fragment to the main group elements is restricted to a few examples bearing mainly the OCN3 core. The compounds are arranged in a manner that the CER fragment (E = chalcogen) is bonded to three identical main group elements, mixed main group elements, mixed main group transition metal elements, three identical transition metal elements, and different transition metal elements.

Methanes Bearing One Sulfur Function and Three Functions Derived from the Group V (15) Element, Metalloid, and/or a Metal

The compounds in which two or three different elements are attached to the SC carbon atom are rare and only realized in some examples. Main group compounds concentrate with few exceptions on species with the SC(SiMe3)3 fragment. The majority of samples in this section, however, are based on M3 cluster compounds with a 3-C¼S ligand or similar clusters in which one or two Co atoms are replaced by other transition metals; addition of an electrophile at the C¼S sulfur atom gives a 3-methylidine ligand, which contributes three electrons to the cluster.

6.11.3.2.1

Compounds with the SCN3 core

A series of heterocyclic compounds with this core were prepared recently. The reaction of N-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]imminium triflate with various imines in the presence of CsF gave the compounds 98 in 40% to 70% yields as depicted in Scheme 30. Similarly, the reaction of the triflate with diethyl azodicarboxylate generated the compounds 99 in yields between 20% and 74% <2001H243>. A new series of transition metal complexes was prepared containing the tris(pyrazoly)methansulfonato ligand 100 (Tpms). Toward transition metals, Tpms can act as a bidentate or, tridentate ligand. This new ligand was prepared as the Tl salt by adding excess of Tl2CO3 to an aqueous solution of LiTpms. Recrystallization from methanol gave 60% yield <2000AG2464, 2001EJIC1415>. The complex 101 was obtained from the reaction of TlTpms with [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 under 2–3 atm CO in THF is quantitative yield; without a positive CO pressure,

Similarly, the reaction of TlTpms with [Rh(nbd)Cl]2 in dichloromethane generated the complex 104 (dien = nbd). Addition of PPh3, PMe3, or PCy3 to 101 produced the complexes 105a–105c (PR3 = PPh3, PMe3, PCy3). With potassium diphenyl(sulfonatophenyl)phosphane 106 was obtained in 40% yield. Most of the complexes have been characterized by X-ray analyses <2001EJIC1415>. The complex 105 (R = PMe3) activated benzene upon irradiation to form 107, which was carbonylated with CO to give 108; the reactions are collected in Scheme 31 <2001EJIC3113>. Treatment of CuCl in EtOH/ MeCN with LiTpms and PPh2C6H4COOH-4 produced the complex 109 in 76% yield <2003JIB(94)348>.

This section contains compounds of the general type (Me3Si)3CSeX(TsiX) in which the Se atom is further bonded to other groups including transition metals. Reaction of TsiSeI with the corresponding thiocarbonyl derivatives (a, R = Me; b, R = Prn) in toluene forms the compounds 130 in 85% yield, as shown in Scheme 41 <2001AG2486>. If the compound TsiSeLi(DME) was treated with InCl3 in hexane, the compound (TsiSe)3In was formed in 31% yield and characterized by an X-ray analysis <1995IC4854>. Treatment of TsiSeLi(DME) with CuCl (in DME solution) or Cu(PCy3)2BF4 (in ether) leads to the complexes CuSeTsi (31% yield) and Cu(PCy3)SeTsi (35% yield), respectively; Cu(PCy3)SeTsi is dimeric with an SeCuSeCu four-membered ring and characterized by an X-ray analysis. The similar reaction with AgNO3 or AgBr(PCy3)2 produced the complexes AgSeTsi (56% yield) and Ag(PCy3)SeTsi (30% yield), respectively. The first one is tetrameric with an AgSeAgSeAgSeAgSe eightmembered ring and also characterized by an X-ray analysis.

Thus, compounds of the general type (Me3Si)3CTeX in which the Te atom is further bonded to other groups including transition metals have been prepared by the same working groups as reported for the corresponding selenium compounds. The (Me3Si)3C group is abbreviated as Tsi. A solution of (THF)LiTeC(SiMe3)3 in toluene was added to a solution of Cu(PCy3)BF4 to produce the complex Cu(TeTsi)PCy3 in 51% yield; see also compounds with the SeCSi3 core <1994IC1797>.

Biographical sketch

Wolfgang Petz was born in Munich. He studied at the University of Munich, where he obtained his diploma in 1966 and his Ph.D. at the University of Marburg in 1969 under the direction of Professor Heinrich No¨th. After 2 years as scientific assistant he was appointed to Dozent auf Zeit at the University of Marburg, where he finished his Habilitation in 1979. In 1982 he moved to the Gmelin Institut of the Max-Planck-Society where he was author and editor of many organometallic volumes and in 1990 he became chief editor of the organometallic division. After closure of the Gmelin Institut in 1998 he moved to the MPI for Bioinorganic Chemistry in Mu¨lheim and took up his present position as apl. Professor at the University of Marburg. His scientific interests are on the field of organometallic chemistry, in particular carbene, difluorocarbene, and thiocarbonyl compounds including carbanion chemistry of transition metal carbonyl compounds.

Frank Weller was born in Stuttgart, Germany. He studied at the local University and got his Diploma in 1968. Having worked out a doctoral thesis with Professor K. Dehnicke in Marburg, Germany by 1971, he stayed there, and did some work mainly in the fields of vibrational spectroscopy and, later on, crystallography. Except for his early stage, when he was dealing with methylmercuric species, his scientific interests were, according to his mainly methodic activities, spread over a wide range of fields.

Four Similar Group 15 Element Functions Four nitrogen functions

Several reasonably general methods for the construction of molecules bearing this function have been previously described <1995COFGT(12)359>. These include (i) nucleophilic exchange of chlorine atoms with amine functions, (ii) addition of amine functions to carbon–nitrogen double bonds, (iii) addition of nitrogen-bearing carbons to nitrogen–nitrogen double bonds, and (iv) exchange of a nitrogen-bearing group with a nitrogen-bearing carbanion. A few cyclic and acyclic compounds featuring four nitrogen functions have been reported since 1995. These include structures with two, three, or four similar nitrogen functions. While some of these compounds were prepared by adaptation of previously developed methods, a few were generated by miscellaneous syntheses. These preparations are described below.

(i) By nucleophilic exchange of chlorine atoms (a) From tetraalkylchloroformamidinium chlorides. A few tetrakis(dialkylamino)methanes were synthesized by adaptation of the method previously described for preparation of tetrakis(dimethylamino)methane from reaction of a tetraalkylchloroformadinium chloride with lithium dialkylamides (Equation (1) and Table 1); yields were low to moderate. Single-crystal structural studies on tetrakis(dimethylamino)methane and tetra(pyrrolidinyl)methane, as well as reactivity studies on hydrolysis of the former compound, have also been reported <1997CB(130)1739>. +

(b) From pentacarbonyl(trichloromethylisocyanide)chromium(0). Reaction of pentacarbonyl(trichloromethylisocyanide)chromium(0) with imidazole afforded a 70% yield of the electron-deficient isocyanide complex pentacarbonyl[tris(imidazol-1-yl)methylisocyanide]chromium(0) (Equation (2)) <1995JOM(489)27>.

(ii) By nucleophilic addition to guanidinium salts N,N,N0 ,N0 ,N00 ,N00 -Hexamethylguanidinium chloride, when reacted with sodium hydride/dimethylamine in the presence of trimethyl borate, produced a mixture of tetrakis(dimethylamino)methane and tri(dimethylamino)orthoformamide (Equation (3)). The reaction was conducted in anhydrous THF affording, after crystallization from acetonitrile, colorless crystals of tetrakis(dimethylamino)methane in 11% yield <2000JPR(342)256>.

(iii) Miscellaneous syntheses A few isolated reactions leading to methanes bearing four nitrogen functions have also appeared in the literature since 1995. (a) The high activation of the CF bond in the anions of salts 4 and 5 was utilized in the interaction of these salts with silylated azoles.

(b) An NMR and GC-MS study of thermolysis fragments from the 1:1 adduct obtained by reaction of diisopropylcyanamide and trifluoroacetic anhydride led to detection of a compound with mass 431. The structure suggested for this compound was that for 4-(diisopropylamino)4-(trifluoroacetoxy)-2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,3,5-oxadiazine, 6. Another compound produced from reaction of compound 6 and N,N-diisopropyl-N0 ,N0 -bis(trifluoroacetyl)urea, 7, had a mass of 418 and was characterized as 4,4-bis(diisopropylamino)-2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H1,3,5-oxadiazine, 8 (Equation (6)). The former compound is the principal component in the original adduct <1997JOC9070>; however, the expected by-product shown in Equation (6) was never detected. (Pri)2N N F3C

It was found that reaction of tetranitromethane with NaN3 in DMSO-CH2Cl2 afforded azidotrinitromethane in 20–24% yield (Equation (7)). When this reaction was carried out in pure DMSO or DMF, the yields were 10–14%. In aqueous acetone, this reaction produced a mixture of azidotrinitromethane and diazidodinitromethane (identified by GLC) that were difficult to separate. Pure diazidodinitromethane was obtained in 12% yield by the reaction of teranitromethane with excess NaN3 in aqueous ethanol at 5–10 C.

Only two reports describing the preparation of compounds of this class have appeared in the literature since 1995. Treatment of bis(trimethylsilyl)methylidene triphenylphosphorane, 14, with a phosphorus trihalide gave the corresponding dihalophosphanyl ylides, 15, which self-condensed in pyridine (X = Cl) or a mixture of benzene and pyridine (X = Br) to selectively afford tetramers having cations with a tetraphosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (1,3,5,7-tetraphosphabarrelane) structure, 16 (Scheme 3) <1995AG(E)1853>. The chloride salt was formed as a complex with pyridine in 43% yield; no yield was reported for the bromide salt. Reaction of the tetraphosphabarrelane chloride with either aluminum trichloride or gallium trichloride converted the singly charged

In the course of studies on preparation of anionic tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)-containing ligands in transition metal chemistry, it was stated that deprotonation of HC(Me2Pz)3 (Pz = pyrazolyl) occurred cleanly without prior complexation to a metal center by reaction with MeLi in THF to form LiC(Me2Pz)3 in quantitative yield.

Both compounds exhibit carbene metal interactions and the nitrogens are part of five-membered heterocycles. Deprotonation of 3-borane-1,4,5-trimethylimidazole, 24, with BunLi afforded lithium 3-borane1,4,5-trimethylimidazol-2-ylidene, 25 (Equation (10)). An X-ray diffraction study on a single crystal of this salt grown from a THP solution at 4 C revealed dimeric units of two carbene anions connected by two lithium cations. The nitrogen-flanked carbene carbons have a shorter (2.169 A˚) and a longer (2.339 A˚) contact with the lithium cations <1998EJI843>.

Treatment of an aqueous solution of 28 with NH4PF6 afforded the dihexafluorophosphate salt which, upon deprotonation with Ag2O in DMSO at 55 C, afforded a dimeric silver N-heterocyclic carbene complex with composition [Ag4(28*)2][PF6]4, where 28* represents the deprotonated 28. Both the 13C NMR and X-ray diffraction data on the carbene complex indicated that each carbene is interacting with two different silver atoms via -bonding and -bonding interactions <2001CC1780>.

The first involved protonation of the lithium salt of a persilylated 2,3,4-triphosphapentadienide, 29, the first of its kind reported, leading to a bicyclic diphosphirane, 31 (no yield reported). The latter most likely arose from a valence isomerization of intermediate 30 (Scheme 5) <1996AG(E)313>.

The same research group subsequently reported a reaction between dilithioferrocenylphosphanide and dichlorobis(trimethylsilanyl)methane, leading to a mixture of a diferrocenyldiphosphirane, 34 (65% yield), and a minor amount of a bis(methylene)phosphorane, 35. The authors explained the formation of these products by assuming an initial lithium–halogen exchange, affording a phosphenoid and carbenoid that immediately dimerized with elimination of LiCl; further reaction of the dimer with either the phosphenoid or carbenoid led to 34 and 35, respectively. The predominance of the diphosphorane suggests an increased stability of the phosphenoid compared to the carbenoid under these conditions (Scheme 6) <1997JOM(541)237>. The third report described a reaction between a 1,2-dihydro-1,2-phosphasilete, 36, and [bis(trimethylsilyl)methylene]chlorophosphane that led to a phosphaalkene-substituted phosphasilete, 37, in 93% yield, which then underwent a thermal isomerization to afford bicyclic diphosphirane 38 in 80% yield (Scheme 7) <1999CEJ1581>.

(a) Two phosphorus and two gold functions. All but one of the recently reported syntheses of compounds bearing two phosphorus and two gold functions involved carbon metallation by the use of basic acetylacetonato (acac) gold complexes, hydroxide, or hydride for deprotonation of a methylene or methine group bearing two phosphorus functions. The reaction of trinuclear gold complex 39 with a fourfold excess of [Au(acac)PPh3] gave heptanuclear gold complex 40 in which bis(diphenylphosphino)methanediide [bis(dppm)] bonds to four gold atoms as an eight-electron donor ligand (Equation (12)) <1995OM2918>.

With the aim of developing controlled syntheses of heterometallic species of high nuclearity, Ruiz and co-workers <1997OM3388> investigated the chemistry of bis(dppm) derivatives of ruthenium and manganese. Treatment of the bis(dppm) derivative 43 (M = Mn, L = CO) with one molar equivalent of [AuCl(PPh3)] and excess KOH gave a mixture of dinuclear and trinuclear, 44, complexes in a 6:4 molar ratio; however, the trinuclear, 44 (90% yield), tetranuclear, 45 (83% yield), and pentanuclear, 46 (81% yield), complexes were selectively obtained in the presence of excess KOH by treatment of the same bis(dppm) derivative with two, three, and four molar equivalents of [AuCl(PPh3)], respectively. By contrast, partial metallation of the bis(dppm) derivative, 43 (M = Ru and L = CNBut or CNPh), was not possible, and only the corresponding pentanuclear complex, 46, could be isolated in pure form (L = CNBut, 78% yield; L = CNPh, 81% yield) (Scheme 8 and Table 2).

The only recent synthesis of a compound with a carbon bearing one phosphorus, one lithium, and one silicon function was that of the first coligand-free diphosphinomethanide, 67, afforded in crystalline form, by the reaction of silyl substituted phosphinomethane 66 with BunLi (Equation (25)) . The crystal structure of this trimeric compound showed each lithium atom surrounded by two phosphorus atoms and one carbon atom, with two of the lithium atoms displaying weak lithium–phenyl contacts.

Treatment of metalloarsane (5-C5Me5)(CO2)FeAs(TMS)2, 68, with 1 equiv. of [bis(trimethylsilyl)methylene]chlorophosphane gave 1-metallo-1-arsa-2-phosphapropene 69 and a few crystals of dimetallophosphaarsirane 70 (Equation (26)) <1996CB219>.

Nitrogen Functions One nitrogen and three boron functions

Since 1995, only one report has appeared that describes the preparation of compounds bearing nitrogen and three boron functions. By reacting sterically hindered isocyanide ButNC with [anti-B18H22] in benzene, cluster carbonatom insertion occurred yielding macropolyhedral carbaboranes [7-(ButMeHN)-(anti)-B18H20] and [9-(ButNH2)-(anti)-9-B17H19-8-(CN)] in 6% and 12% yields, respectively <1995CC2407>. These compounds were characterized by MS and NMR spectroscopy; the latter compound was further characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

6.12.4.1.2

One nitrogen and three silicon functions

A few compounds with a carbon bearing nitrogen and three silicon functions have appeared since 1995. All feature trimethylsilyl substituents with the nitrogen as part of an isothiocyanate moiety or a heterocyclic system. As a promising building block for heterocyclic syntheses, tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl isothiocyanate was prepared in 95% yield by a novel, direct lithiation of methyl isothiocyanate at 95 C using LDA and trapping of the carbanion intermediate with excess TMSCl/THF (Equation (28)) <1997S423>.

As part of a synthetic exploration of the Peterson olefination route to 1-(1-alkenyl)benzotriazoles, 1-(trimethylsilylmethyl)benzotriazole, 72, was lithiated at the -carbon using LDA, and the resulting lithiated species was trapped with TMSCl affording 1-bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl-1H-benzotriazole, 73, in 83% yield (Scheme 12). Further treatment of the latter compound with LDA and trapping with TMSCl afforded 1-tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl-1H-benzotriazole, 74, and 4-trimethylsilyl-1-tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl-1H-benzotriazole, 75, as crystalline compounds in 44% and 41% yields, respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C). While Peterson olefination on other silylated benzotriazole derivatives was carried out, no further exploration on compounds 74 and 75 was reported <1999T11903>. Photolysis of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyldiazomethyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2,2-diphenyltrisilane, 76, in cyclohexane with a high-pressure mercury lamp at 0 C afforded the five-membered heterocycle 79 in 11% yield (Scheme 13). The structure of this compound was established spectroscopically (1H, 13C, 29Si NMR) as well as by elemental analysis, exact mass determination by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and X-ray crystallographic analysis. It was suggested that this heterocycle is the hydrolysis product of the bicyclic azo compound 78 produced from intramolecular [2+3]-cycloaddition of diazosilene 77. Photolysis of

Cothermolysis of the thiocarbenoid complex CpCr(CO)2(SCNMe)2, 90, with [CpCr(CO)3]2 afforded a four-component mixture which, after column chromatography on silica gel, yielded a dark brown solid, Cp4Cr4S2(CO)(CNMe2), in 36% yield as a highly air-sensitive compound.

(ii) One nitrogen and three ruthenium functions Two reports on compounds bearing one nitrogen and three ruthenium functions have appeared since 1995.

Chemical oxidation of this cluster with Ag+ or ferricenium produced the 47-electron cation [H3Ru3(CNMeBz)(CO)6(PPh3)3]1+ which was

370

Functions Containing at Least One Group 15 Element

characterized spectroscopically (EPR, 1H, 31P NMR, IR). An account of cyclic voltammetric experiments on this cluster has been detailed <1998OM872>. An investigation on the mechanistic decomposition of the 47-electron cationic cluster, generated by chemical or electrochemical oxidation of the 48-electron precursor, has also been reported. In connection with this study, several clusters featuring a tetracoordinated carbon bearing nitrogen and three ruthenium functions were prepared <2001JOM(633)51>. These included H3Ru3(CNMeBz)6L3 (L = PPh3, SbPh3), prepared by previously published procedures <1998OM872, 1990IS196>, and H3Ru3(CNEtBz)6(PPh3)3, H3Ru3(CNMeBz)6(PPh3)2(CNBz), prepared using analogous procedures by substitution of appropriate ligands on the parent carbonyls. No further preparative details were provided, but IR and 1H NMR data for the latter compounds were reported.

(iii) One nitrogen, two cobalt, and one iron functions A few compounds having this structural unit have been described since 1995. Clusters of the type 93 were generated upon cleavage of the 2-isothiocyanate ligand in [Fe(PPh3)2(CO)2(2-SCNR)], 92, by 2 equiv. of [Co(-Cp)(PPh3)2] (Equation (30)) <1999JOM(573)109>.

(iv) One nitrogen and three osmium functions Numerous reports describing the preparation, reactivity, and crystal structures of various triosmium clusters having a carbon bearing one nitrogen and three osmium functions have appeared in the literature since 1995. All clusters described contain a triosmium alkylidyne metal core linked to a nitrogen function at an apical position. Triosmium alkylidyne cluster 96 was synthesized by the reaction of 95 with 1 equiv. of DBU in the presence of a 10-fold excess of 4-vinylpyridine (Equation (31)) <1995MI311>. Treatment of cluster 96 with a slight excess of [Os3(CO)10(NMe)2] in refluxing n-hexane for 8 h produced the homonuclearly linked cluster 97 in 34% yield, while reaction of 96 in refluxing CH2Cl2 with traces of water, using stoichiometric amounts of Wilkinson’s catalyst RhCl(PPh3)3, afforded a 29% yield of 98 <1995JOM(493)229>.

Phosphorus Functions

By far, the greatest number of reports since 1995 of compounds possessing a carbon bearing one phosphorus and three metalloid and/or metal functions is for those with one phosphorus and three silicon functions. A few examples have been reported of compounds with a carbon bearing one phosphorus and either three transition metals, or one silicon and two metal functions.

When the reaction was carried out in a 1:1 ratio where R = Ph and R0 = Cl, phosphorus ylide 112 was obtained in an impure form along with tetraheteroatom-substituted methane 113 resulting from monosubstitution on silicon (Equation (33)) <1995JOM(501)167>.

(iii) By reaction of carbon–phosphorus double bonds P-Halogeno-, P-phenyl-, and P-phosphanyl-substituted 2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1-phosphaethenes, 118, have been reported to react with C¼P cleavage to afford compounds possessing a carbon bearing one phosphorus and three silicon functions, or a carbon bearing one phosphorus, one germanium, and two silicon functions. When a phosphanyl-substituted phosphaethene (118; X = (5-1,3-But2C5H3)(CO)2Fe P(TMS)) was treated with an excess of [(Z)-cyclooctene]Cr(CO)5, the 1,2-diphosphaferrocene pentacarbonylchromium adduct 121 was obtained in low yield along with the butterfly complex 119 and the metallodiphosphene 120, the latter two being too unstable to isolate and only identified by 31 P-NMR data in comparison with those of related compounds (Equation (34)) <1995CB665>.

Treatment of P-halogenophosphaethenes (118; X = Cl, Br, I) with an equimolar amount of hexadichlorosilane effected C¼P cleavage and P¼P formation, giving diphosphene 122 in 71% yield when X = Cl . By following the reaction by 31P-NMR, the authors postulated the intermediacy of the phosphaalkene (TMS)2C¼PSiCl3, which then

374

dimerizes by 1,2-addition of the PSi bond of one molecule to the C¼P bond of another to give (TMS)2C¼P-P(SiCl3)C(TMS)2SiCl3, followed by a 1,2-trichlorosilyl shift from phosphorus to carbon, thereby affording diphosphene 122 (Equation (35)). Si2Cl6, hexanes, 60 °C, 8 days; X = Cl XP=C(TMS)2

In their studies of group 14 carbene analogs and their reactions with P-phosphanyl phosphaalkenes, du Mont and co-workers observed a similar type of transformation when phosphaethene 122 (X = PPri2) was converted to diphosphene 123 (83% yield) upon treatment with the silylene SiCl2; the latter was generated in situ by an -elimination of Me3GeCl from Me3GeSiCl3, induced by the dialkylphosphanyl group within phosphaethene 118 (Equation (36)) <2002AG(E)3829>. The same research group also investigated the reactivity of phosphaethene 118 (X = PPri2) with GeCl2-dioxane, observing the formation of diphosphene 124 by 31P-NMR and isolating a crystal suitable for low-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis; however, the major isolated product was the fused bicyclic heterocycle 125, which possesses two carbons that each bear one phosphorus, one germanium, and two silicon functions (50% yield) (Equation (37)) <2001MI609>. i

One phosphorus and three metal functions

The only reports since 1995 of compounds of this description involve organometallic complexes with carbons bearing, in addition to one phosphorus function, either three osmium functions or three cobalt functions. All of the reported syntheses of the former complexes involve CP bond formation upon displacement of chlorine from carbon bearing three osmium functions, and the sole reported synthesis of the latter involves CCo bond formation by displacement of chlorine from a carbon bearing one phosphorus function. The reaction of the triosmium alkylidene cluster [Os3(-H)3(CO)9(3-CCl)], 128, with various bidentate diphosphine ligands is outlined in Scheme 18. Cluster 128 reacted with an excess of butyldiphenylphosphine in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of DBU to give the expected complex 129 in 30% yield. A similar reaction was observed with the optically active diphosphine 130, affording a mixture of isomeric complexes 131 and 132 in 15% and 20% yields, respectively. Complex 131 decarbonylated at room temperature after 24 h to give an octacarbonyl homometallic

The Lewis donor ability of the P¼O function of cluster 141 (R = Et) was used to assemble early-late metal systems by reaction with [Cp2MCl]+ (M = Ti, Zr). O (RO)2P O (RO)2P Cl

One phosphorus, one silicon, and two metal functions

Two reports describing the preparation of compounds of this type have appeared since 1995; one describing a symmetrical complex with two carbons each bonded to one phosphorus atom, one silicon atom and two rhodium atoms, and a second outlining a structural investigation of a dilithiated phosphonate with a carbon bonded to one phosphorus atom, one silicon atom and two lithium atoms. Photolysis of rhodium-substituted triethylsilyldiazomethyl complex 142 led to the dimer 143, most likely via the intermediacy of a transient rhodium-stabilized carbene (Equation (41)) <1996OM1166>.

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B) METHANES CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE METALLOID (AND NO HALOGEN, CHALCOGEN, OR GROUP 15 ELEMENT)

The structure of this chapter is based closely on the corresponding one in COFGT (1995), where it was noted that for the 47 different elements (i.e., not the elements specifically excluded in the title of the section, the lanthanides, the actinides, and Fr, Ra, and Tc) that were to be considered as substituents at a quaternary carbon, there are 230 300 different possible combinations of the metal substituents (not including a further 178 365 optical isomers generated by having four different elements as substituents). The number of these possible combinations discussed later is still below 0.1% of those possible thus indicating that there is still tremendous scope for the synthesis of such organometallic compounds. For the case of methanes bearing four metal substituents, it has been necessary to make some judgment about whether the species may be of interest to organic chemists. For example, compounds where the carbon is part of a metal carbide have been excluded.

6.13.1.1

Methanes Bearing Four Metalloid Functions

There are hundreds of compounds known containing a carbon substituted by four silyl groups. The many methods to prepare them have not developed much beyond those described in COFGT (1995), but some new variations of reagents and experimental conditions mean that yields are often improved. The surprising lack of compounds with no tetragermyl substitution at carbon was noted in COFGT (1995). Although this is no longer the case, very few compounds of this type are known even now. This is still presumably due to a lack of synthetic effort as many of the methods available for tetrasilylmethane synthesis should be suitable for the preparation of tetragermylmethanes. A small number of methanes substituted by four boron functions have been prepared and there are an increasing range of compounds containing either a variety of metalloid functions or mixed metalloid and metal functions.

6.13.1.1.1

Four similar metalloid functions

(i) Four Si functions (a) Tetrasilylmethanes from in situ coupling reactions. Symmetrical compounds containing the Si4C function may be prepared by in situ coupling reactions involving CCl4 or CBr4 and a group 1 or 2 metal. These reactions are discussed in more detail in <1995COFGT(6)377>. A few new examples have been reported recently; for example, the use of 4,40 -di-t-butylbiphenyl as a catalyst in the reaction of CCl4 with lithium powder at low temperature gives an 80% yield of (Me3Si)4C <1996T1797>, which is much better than that without the catalyst. The in situ method has also been used in the preparation of the spirocyclic compound 1 in 25% yield (Equation (1)) <1999CL317>. These syntheses rely on the relatively slow coupling reactions to form disilanes using Li or Mg and should be applicable to a wider range of silanes as long as the substituents are not too bulky.

(b) Formation by reaction between a trisilyllithiomethane and a halosilane. The reactions between trisilyllithiomethanes (for their synthesis, see Section 6.13.1.2.1 below) and halosilanes have been used to prepare a wide range of tetrasilylmethanes in which there are at least two different silyl substituents on the carbon. Such compounds are not accessible via the in situ coupling reaction, which produces only symmetrical compounds. This method is thus more general and often gives good yields. The only potential difficulty with these reactions is that the Si3CLi-substituted precursor may require stringent low-temperature conditions for its preparation.

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B)

383

The bulk of a trisilyllithiomethane derivative together with the low-temperature preparations means that it is possible to prepare reagents containing functional groups that would not normally be compatible in simpler compounds. For example, reagents containing both SiH and CLi groups are accessible and can be used to give a range of compounds containing SiH groups that can then be used as precursors to many other tetrasilylmethanes. The range of trisilylithium reagents available for these reactions, together with the products available, is given in Table 1. As would be expected from simple metathesis reactions, the yields for this method are usually good. The order in which the silyl substituents are attached to the central carbon may be important if the groups are particularly bulky, and it seems best if the most bulky silyl substituent is not the one to be attached last. It should also be noted that addition of more than 1 equiv. of a trisilylmethyllithium reagent to a polyhalosilane does not result in more than monosubstitution at silicon; presumably this is due to the steric crowding at the relatively small silicon center. The reaction of (HMe2Si)3CLi with SiCl4 gives several products (see Table 1), the main one being the cyclic species 2, in approximately 38% yield <1999OM1804>. The generation of compounds containing more complicated tetrasilylmethane centers by this general route is exemplified by the syntheses of the bicyclic compounds 5 and 6 shown in Scheme 1 <1998CL1145, 2000JOM(611)12>. In this case, the intermediate organometallic reagent, 4, derived from the trisilylmethane derivative 3, is probably the potassium derivative in THF solution. In a related reaction to those described above, the treatment of the Grignard-like species [Mg(OEt)2{C(SiMe3)3}I]2 with Me3SiCl gives (Me3Si)4C in 23% yield <2001JOM(631)76>.

(c) Formation via addition reactions of silenes. The dimerization of silenes, Si¼C containing compounds, occurs readily at room temperature and usually gives head–tail dimers. If there are two silyl substituents at the unsaturated carbon center, then the resulting dimers contain two tetrasilylmethane centers. The silenes (Ph2MeSi)(Me3Si)C¼SiMe2 <1996JOM(524)147> and (Me3Si)2C¼SiPh2 <1995CB1241> undergo Ph and Me group migrations to give a mixture of isomeric silenes that dimerize in the head-to-tail fashion to give the disilacyclobutanes 7–10 in varying yields depending on the nature of the silene starting material. The silene (Me3Si)2C¼SiMe2 dimerizes in a similar manner <2000JOM(598)292>.

Photolysis or thermolysis of diazomethane precursors gives rise to the silenes 11, which undergo intramolecular head-to-tail additions to give the cyclic species 12 in low yield as components of complicated product mixtures (Equation (2)) <1995JOM(499)99>. Reaction of PhSiCl3 with {Li[C(PMe2)(SiMe3)2]}2xTMEDA occurs to give the phospha-alkene 13, which on prolonged reaction times or on storage gives 14 via a complicated mechanism thought to involve loss of PMe2Cl, formation of a silene intermediate, and both Me and SiMe3 migrations (Equation (3)) <1995JOM(501)167>.

Addition of Me3SiN3 to the THF adduct of the silene (But2MeSi)(Me3Si)C¼SiMe2 leads not to a cycloaddition but the formation (But2MeSi)(Me3Si)2CSiMe2N3 in 15% yield together with diazo-containing products <1996CB471>. Addition of a lithium reagent to a silene can also occur, thus reaction of TsiLi(Tsi=(Me3Si)3C) with the silene (Me3Si)2C¼SiMe2, at 95 C followed by warming to room temperature and work-up in the air affords (Me3Si)2CHSiMe2Tsi <2000JOM(598)292>. (d) Thermolytic or photolytic methods. Interest in the thermolysis of low-molecular-weight silanes to give complicated cyclic compounds has waned in recent years but the thermolysis of (Cl3Si)2CCl2 in a fluidized bed of Si/Cu has been revisited and shown to afford (Cl3Si)4C and the cyclic compounds 15 and 16 <1994ZAAC(620)136>.

(ii) Four Ge functions The surprising absence of tetragermylmethane derivatives was noted in the reference <1995COFGT(6)377> and was attributed to a lack of synthetic effort in this area rather than to any inherent instability of such compounds. More recently, a need for the synthesis of tetragermylmethanes has been generated by the semiconductor and chemical vapor deposition community and this has led to the preparation of a small number of these compounds. The synthesis of (BrCl2Ge)4C and (Br3Ge)4C can be achieved in 80% and 95% yields, respectively, via the insertion of GeX2dioxane (where X = Cl or Br, respectively) into the CBr bonds of CBr4 <1998JA6738, 1995IC5103>. Reduction of these perhalo compounds with LiAlH4 gives (H3Ge)4C in 20% yield, which has been used as a precursor to various semiconductor materials via thermal decomposition .

(iii) Four B functions Compounds containing the CB4 grouping in which the CB bonds are simple two-center twoelectron bonds are rare, much more common are the polyhedral carboranes where multicenter bonding predominates. This chapter will not discuss carboranes, more information about them can be found in several reviews <2002CCR(232)173, 2002CCC869, 2000JOM(614)10, 1999CCC895>. One of the very few preparations of a tetraboramethane derivative is shown in Equation (6), in which a boriranylideneborane, 22, reacts with tetrahalodiboranes. If the substituents at boron are aryl rather than alkyl, then products containing the CB2Si2 grouping are formed (see Section 6.13.1.1.3) <2001EJI387>. But B

Despite the lack of synthetic interest in simple compounds containing the CB4 grouping, there has been theoretical interest as the computational search for species containing planar four-coordinate carbon reveals that the ‘‘boraplane’’ 23 does have a D4h arrangement at the central carbon. An experimental confirmation of this planarity does not seem to have been carried out <2001JA994>.

Three similar and one different metalloid functions

(i) Three Si functions and one Ge function The ready availability of trisilyllithiomethane derivatives (see Section 6.13.1.2.(i).(a) below) would suggest that the easiest route to Si3GeC compounds is the reaction of a germyl halide with an Si3CLi derivative. The reaction of (Me3Si)3CLi with GeCl4 in THF gives the expected (Me3Si)3CGeCl3 <1997T12215>, and the reaction of 1 equiv. of (Me3Si)3CLi with GeBr4 in toluene solution affords (Me3Si)3CGeBr3 but use of a 2:1 ratio of reagents does not give rise to [(Me3Si)3C]2GeBr2 but rather to (Me3Si)3C(PhCH2)GeBr2 in 64% yield. This is thought to be due to a loss of Tsi from the initially formed [(Me3Si)3C]2GeBr2 followed by formation of PhCH2 from the solvent and radical recombination of PhCH2 and (Me3Si)3CGeBr2 <1999ZAAC(625)1807>. Reaction of (Me3Si)3CLi with GeCl2 dioxane in THF solution gives the germylene [(Me3Si)3C]ClGe:LiCl3THF in 41% yield, which undergoes ready reaction with alkenes or with phenyl acetylene to give Ge(IV) products 24 and 25 resulting from (2+1)-cycloadditions (Scheme 2). A novel bicyclic digermane, 26, is formed on reduction of 25a with Mg/MgBr2 (Scheme 2) <1996OM3103>. Reaction of (Me3Si)2(2-NC5H4Me2Si)CLi with GeCl2 dioxane gives the monomeric organogermanium(II) chloride 27 in 72% yield <2001OM1223>. As in the case of [(Me3Si)3C]ClGe:LiCl3THF, the usual dimerization expected for such species is prevented by the steric protection afforded by the three bulky silyl substituents, intramolecular coordination via the pyridyl nitrogen also prevents an increase in coordination number at the Ge atom. The first structurally characterized organometallic ate complex of Ge(II), 28, has been prepared in 40% yield from the reaction of (Me3Si)3CLi with Ge(SBun)2 <2002OM4005>.

(ii) Three Si functions and one B function Relatively few new syntheses of compounds containing the Si3BC grouping were reported in the 1990s; most of the recent chemistry of such compounds deriving from compounds prepared before COFGT (1995) was published. The most obvious route to Si3BC-containing compounds is to treat a boron trihalide with a trisilyllithium reagent. Thus, the reaction between (Me3Si)3CLi and BCl3 gives the expected monosubstituted product (Me3Si)3CBCl2. Substitutions at the BCl bonds may then be carried out to generate further compounds containing the Si3BC grouping <1997JOM(536)361>. A more complicated route has been found to be the addition of a silylene

388

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B)

to an unsaturated species. Thus, addition of Me2Si: to MeB¼C(SiMe3)2 is thought to lead initially to a three-membered ring, which undergoes further reaction with a second equivalent of MeB¼C(SiMe3)2 to give ring expansion and the formation of 29 in 77% yield <1995OM1507>. Me2 Si C(SiMe3)2 (Me3Si)2C B B Me Me 29

(iii) Three Ge functions and one Si or B function; also three B functions and one Si or Ge function Considering the dearth of compounds containing the CGe4 function, it is, perhaps, not surprising that there are a few trigermylmethyl derivatives known. Only one compound, (Me3Ge)3CSiBut2F, containing the CGe3Si grouping seems to have been prepared. It can be made in 20% yield by reaction of (Me3Ge)2(FBut2Si)CLi2THF with Me3GeCl <1996JOM(511)239>. No doubt many other derivatives could be prepared in a similar way. No compounds with the CGe3B grouping seem to be known. Again, this lack of compounds is not likely to be due to a problem of inherent instability of such species but rather a lack of interest in their synthesis. Apart from the silyl- and germyl-substituted carboranes, there is a lack of CB3Si or CB3Ge functions, which is surprising when one considers that several compounds containing the CB4 function are known (see Section 6.13.1.1.1). However, the first triboracyclobutane 30 can be prepared according to Equation (7) from the triboracyclobutanide 31 in 50% yield <2003AG(E)669, 2003AG(E)671>. The synthesis of these mixed metalloid compounds could probably be easily achieved in a manner similar to those already known, i.e., via metathetical reactions between a metalloid-substituted methyllithium derivative and an element halide.

Two similar and two different metalloid functions

(i) Two Si and two Ge functions When one considers that there are a large number of compounds containing the CSi4 function and a few CGe4 function known, it might be expected that there will only be a handful of compounds known that contain the CSi2Ge2 function. This is indeed the case. Such compounds have been prepared using methods that have been widely used for the synthesis of CSi4 functions and many more species could no doubt be prepared in similar ways. Little work has been done with these compounds since that reported in <1995COFGT(6)377>, but more examples of the elimination of LiX from XMe2GeCLi(SiMe3)2 compounds (where X = F, Br, OMe, or OPh) to give Me2Ge¼C(SiMe3)2, which dimerizes to give the head-to-tail dimer [Me2GeC(SiMe3)2]2, have been reported <2000JOM(598)292, 2000JOM(598)304>.

(ii) Two Si, one Ge, and one B functions Compounds containing the CSi2GeB function do not appear to be known. They are likely, however, to be readily available from the reaction of one of the several known CSi2GeLi containing compounds with a boron halide or B(OMe)3.

389

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B) (iii) Two Si and two B functions

There are very few compounds known containing the CSi2B2 grouping but two such compounds have been prepared using addition reactions to unsaturated boranes. Thus reaction of methylideneborane 32 with the three-membered species 33 gives the five-membered species 34 in 81% yield (Equation (8)) <1995OM1507> and the borataalkyne 35 reacts with Me2SiHCl to give the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane derivative 36 in 73% yield (Equation (9)) <1995AG(E)657>.

(iv) Two Ge and two B functions; two Ge, one Si, and one B functions; and two B, one Si, and one Ge functions As might be expected from the paucity of CSi2Ge2 and CSi2B2 containing species, there appear to have been no compounds prepared containing the CGe2B2, CGe2SiB, or CB2SiGe functions. Again, there is unlikely to be any good reason why such compounds should not be made. Reactions between appropriately substituted lithiomethanes and halometalloids should readily afford the required functions.

Methanes Bearing Three Metalloid Functions and a Metal Function Three similar metalloid functions

(i) Three Si functions (a) Three Si and one group 1 metal functions. There has been a surge of interest in the preparation and use of trisilyllithiomethane derivatives because of the previous widespread application of (Me3Si)3CLi and (PhMe2Si)3CLi as bulky alkyl group transfer reagents popularized by Eaborn and Smith <2001JCS(D)1541, 2001JCS(D)3397>.

synthetic routes, metallation of an Si3CH substituted carbon, usually by MeLi or BuLi, and treatment of an Si3CX (X = Cl or Br) substituted carbon with lithium metal. The first method is more common as it is often easier to make the Si3CH grouping compared to the corresponding Si3CX and complications arising from the incorporation of LiX into reactions following the preparation of the trisilylmethyllithium reagent are avoided. The yields given in Table 2 are for lithium reagents isolated as solids and fully characterized. The yield of those species without an entry in the yield column can be determined indirectly from the yields of derivatives from subsequent reactions. There has been interest in recent years in the preparation of ‘‘base-free’’ trisilylmethyllithium reagents, i.e., not containing coordinated solvent such as THF or Et2O that can either react or be incorporated into products in further reactions. Such syntheses are carried out in alkane or aromatic solvents and the reagent formed usually contains no solvent, the lithium atoms being coordinated by alkyl or aryl groups within the trisilylmethyl substituent. Another extension to this area has been the preparation of reagents containing one or more potentially reactive or coordinating groups within the trisilylmethyl group. Thus, groups such as (RMe2Si)(Me3Si)2C, where R = OMe, NMe2, 2-pyridyl, or PPh2, can be transferred via their lithium derivatives to a range of transition metal centers where intramolecular coordination by the group R promotes monomer formation and discourages formation of oligomeric species. This synthetically useful range of reagents will no doubt be expanded in the future to include other more complicated ligating groups. A recent example, (Me3Si)2(HMe2Si)CLi(THF)2, containing a reactive SiH group can be prepared by treating (Me3Si)2(HMe2Si)CH with MeLi <2004JOM(689)1238>. The various methods for the preparation of TsiLi, the most popular of the trisilyllithium reagents, have been described in <1995COFGT(6)377>, but some new variations are included in Table 2. Sublimation of TsiLi2THF gives a small amount of TsiLi1.5THF while reaction of base-free TsiLi with O2 in toluene gives (Me3Si)2C¼O, which forms a 1:1 adduct with TsiLi to give TsiLiO¼C(SiMe3)2 <2000ZAAC(626)2040>. Solid-state 7Li NMR studies of base-free TsiLi and some of its adducts have also been carried out in order to investigate further the range of structures adopted by this useful reagent <2000JA9858>. The presence of coordinating groups in the trisilylmethyl substituent leads to species in which intramolecular coordination occurs to give monomeric species such as 39–41 (see Table 2 for details of the syntheses) in which some or all of the coordinating solvent is excluded. Despite the wide variety of structures that have found to be adopted by these species in the solid state, they all act as simple trisilylmethyl derivative transfer agents in solution. The use of these reagents in the synthesis of trisilylmetallamethane derivatives is detailed extensively in following sections. If two readily metallated carbons are present in a molecule, then a double metallation can occur as shown by compounds 42–44. Compound 43 is a molecular species containing an unusual interaction between the relatively low-basicity siloxane oxygen and a lithium, and the [Li(TMEDA)2]+ salt of anion 44 can be used to make a range of divalent organometallic complexes as detailed in the following sections.

Although few examples of polycyclic trisilyllithiomethanes have been reported recently (compared to the many described in <1995COFGT(6)377>), the bicyclic species 3 can be monometallated, then derivatized and then metallated at the second methine center and further derivatized as shown in Scheme 1 above. A further series of trisilyllithiomethanes that have received detailed study are of the general form (XR2Si)CLi(SiMe3)2 where R is an alkyl or aryl group and X is an electronegative function such as halide or alkoxide. As might be expected, these compounds need to be prepared at low temperature as they readily eliminate LiX (at different temperatures depending on the nature of X) to give silenes R2Si¼C(SiMe3)2. For example,

392

reaction between (XPh2Si)(Me3Si)2CBr (X = F or Br) with BuLi or PhLi at 78 C in Et2O gives (XPh2Si)(Me3Si)2CLi, which then generate Ph2Si¼C(SiMe3)2 <1995CB1231, 1995CB1241> and (XMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CBr (X = alkoxide or halide) react with BuLi or PhLi at low temperature to give (XMe2Si)(Me3Si)2Cli, which can then be used to generate Me2Si¼C(SiMe3)2 <2000CJC1412, 2000JOM(598)292, 2000JOM(598)304>. Trisilyllithiomethane derivatives sometimes result unexpectedly from complicated reactions and rearrangements, the relative stability of trisilylmethyl anions perhaps being a driving force for this. For example, (Me3Si)2(HMe2Si)CLi is found to be an intermediate in the reaction between MeLi and Me3SiSiMe3 <2000OM374>, and the disilylmethane derivative (MeOMe2Si)2CH2 reacts with ButLi in pentane at 78 C to give (MeOMe2Si)2CHLi, which undergoes a remarkable skeletal rearrangement to give the previously prepared dimer 45 (intra- and intermolecular coordination of Li in [{LiC(SiMe2OMe)3}2]; methyl groups have been omitted for clarity) in 64% yield <2003OM2505>.

The popular synthetic use of trisilylmethyllithium derivatives, particularly in transition metal chemistry, has prompted the synthesis of similar species incorporating heavier group 1 metals. Clearly, such compounds are likely to be more difficult to prepare being intolerant of ether solvents, and will be more difficult to handle because of their sensitivity toward water and oxygen. Despite these problems there are now well-characterized sodium, potassium, rubidium, and caesium derivatives of trisilylmethanes, some of which have been shown to be synthetically useful. Sodium derivatives can be prepared in a similar way to some of their lithium analogs, for example, (PhMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CH reacts with MeNa in petroleum containing TMEDA to give (PhMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CNaTMEDA in 34% yield <1997OM4728>. Alkali metal exchange may also be a useful synthetic route in preparing sodium compounds; thus, reaction of (Ph2PMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CLi2THF reacts with ButONa to give (Ph2PMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CNa in which the sodium is coordinated to both the carbanionic center and to a phenyl group <2000JCS(D)2183>. In the search for stable silenes, even more bulky trisilylmethane derivatives have been prepared, e.g., treatment of (FMe2Si)(But3Si)(Me3Si)CBr with But3SiNa affords (FMe2Si)(But3Si)(Me3Si)CNa, which can then potentially eliminate NaF <1997JOM(531)47>. Trisilylmethylpotassium derivatives can be prepared in a similar manner to the analogous lithium compounds. Thus, reaction of TsiH with MeK in Et2O in the presence of TMEDA gives TsiKTMEDA in 34% yield, (Me3Si)2(PhMe2Si)CH reacts with MeK in Et2O at 20 C to give (Me3Si)2(PhMe2Si)CK in 60% yield <1997OM4728>, and (MeOMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CH reacts with MeK to give (MeOMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CK cleanly <1999JCS(D)3267>. If (Me3Si)2(PhMe2Si)CK is crystallized from benzene, orange crystals of the potassate [K(C6H6)][K{C(SiMe3)2(SiPhMe2)}2] may be isolated <1995AG(E)2679>. The reactivity of the potassium compounds can be shown from the reaction of the vinyl derivative, (Me3Si)2(CH2¼CHMe2Si)CK (prepared from (Me3Si)2(CH2¼CHMe2Si)CH and MeK) with adventitious silicone grease in its container over a period of 4 weeks to give [K(SiMe2O)7][K{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2CH2¼CH)}2] <1995AG(E)2679>. Alkali-metal exchange may also be useful as a synthetic route, species 39 reacts with ButOK to give the potassium analog (2-C5H4NMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CK which contains no solvent, the potassium being coordinated as shown in 46 in a polymeric structure <2000OM3224>.

The [Li(THF)4]+ salt of 44 can also be used in the preparation of the dipotassium species 47, or a benzene solvate of the same species, 48 can be prepared directly from 49 as shown in Scheme 3 <1999OM2342>. The dicaesium compound 50 can be prepared in a similar manner <2000OM1190>.

Rare examples of structurally characterized alkylrubidium and caesium derivatives can be made using the reaction between MeM (M = Rb or Cs), prepared in situ from MeLi and the corresponding alkali-metal-2-ethylhexoxide, and TsiH. Thus, TsiRb is prepared in 64% yield and comprises an infinite chain of alternating planar Tsi anions and Rb+ cations, and TsiCs crystallizes from benzene to give TsiCs3.5C6H6 in which the Cs is coordinated to both the carbanion center and three benzene molecules <1995AG(E)687>. Similar reactions but using (PhMe2Si)3CH as starting material give (PhMe2Si)3CRb and (PhMe2Si)3CCs in yields of 74 and 66%, respectively <1997OM4728>. The structure of the rubidium species shows that the rubidium is coordinated by the aromatic groups of the trisilylmethyl substituent. The uses of these Na, K, Rb, and Cs derivatives of trisilylmethanes are largely unexplored but the widespread use of the Li analogs suggests that they may well have significant potential, particularly in organometallic chemistry. (b) Three Si and one group 2 metal functions. The reaction of (Me2NMe2Si)3CI with Mg in Et2O gives (Me2NMe2Si)3CMgI in 54% yield. Although it has the general Grignard reagent formula of RMgX, a structural study has shown that the central carbanionic carbon has a planar environment and that there is in fact no significant CMg interaction, the coordination sphere of the Mg comprising three nitrogen and one iodide ligand <1997OM503>. The reaction of (MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CI with Mg in Et2O is thought to give the Grignard reagent (MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CMgI, which decomposes to give the dialkylmagnesium species Mg{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2OMe)}2 in 50% yield together with MgI2(OEt2)2. The Grignard compound can however be isolated in 80% yield from the reaction between (MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CI and Mg in toluene solution <1996JOM(521)113>. A variety of other more complicated organomagnesium complexes containing solvent are also available from similar preparative routes. Thus, reaction of reagent 39 (see Section 6.13.1.2.1 above) with MgBr2 gives 51 <2000OM3224> but with [MgBr2(OEt2)2] the Li is retained to give complex 52 <2001JOM(631)76>. The ate complex, [Li(TMEDA)2][Li{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2Ph)}2], reacts with MgBr2 in THF solution to give 53 in poor yield <2001JOM(631)76>. Grignard reagents 54 are formed when R3CI species (R = Me3Si or PhMe2Si) react with activated magnesium and an unusual, unsymmetrical dialkylmagnesium compound, 55, is obtained in 95% yield from the reaction between [MgBr2(OEt2)2] and the lithium reagent formed from BuLi and (Me2NMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CI in Et2O with <2001JOM(631)76>.

The steric protection afforded by the Tsi group is seen clearly in the isolation of Tsi2Ca, the first solvent-free dialkylcalcium compound to be structurally characterized and which is obtained from the reaction between 2 equiv. of TsiK and 1 equiv. of CaI2 in 87% yield <1997CC1961>. Use of a bulky trisilyllithium reagent containing a group capable of intramolecular coordination allows the preparation of simple, monomeric dialkyl derivatives of strontium and barium. Thus, reaction of 2 equiv. of (MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CK with MI2 (M = Sr or Ba) in THF affords [(MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2C]2M(THF)n, which when crystallized from methylcyclohexane, for M = Sr, gives [(MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2C]2Sr(THF) in 72% yield, and when crystallized from (Me2SiO)3/DME, for M = Ba, gives [(MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2C]2Ba(DME) in 68% yield <2003JA7534>. (c) Three Si and one group 12 metal functions. Reaction between TsiLi and ZnCl2 affords TsiZnCl in 26% yield as an isolated product after sublimation of the initially formed [Li(THF)4] [(TsiZn)2Cl3] <1998EJI1175, 1999JOM(572)249>. This is presumably also an intermediate in the sequential treatment of ZnCl2 with TsiLi followed by LiP(SiMe3)2 to give TsiZnP(SiMe3)2 in 60% yield <1995ZAAC(621)287>. Reaction of the trisilyllithiomethane derivative 39 containing a potentially chelating group with ZnBr2 or CdCl2 gives the halide-bridged dimers 56 and 57 in 67% and 69% yields respectively <2002JCS(D)2467> and reaction of reagent 40 with ZnBr2 affords an analogous cyclic dimer <2004JOM(689)1718>. The monomeric species 58 M = Zn is formed in 60% yield from the reaction of the [Li(TMEDA)2] salt of the diorganolithiate ion 44 with ZnCl2 <1999OM2342>. A series of crowded diorganomercury compounds have been prepared by metathesis reactions. Thus, TsiHgR compounds can be prepared by reaction of TsiHgBr with RMgX (R = Me, Pri, Bun, But, or Ph) and (PhMe2Si)3CHgR compounds from (PhMe2Si)3CHgCl and RLi (R = Me, Pri, Bun, But, or Ph). Treatment of (PhMe2Si)3CHgCl with TsiLi gives the extremely bulky (PhMe2Si)3CHgTsi in 21% yield. The symmetrical dialkylmercury derivative [(Me3Si)2(HMe2Si)C]2Hg is obtained in 16% yield from the reaction between HgCl2 and (Me3Si)2(HMe2Si)CLi at 110 C <1996JOM(510)143>. Other congested organomercury compounds containing potentially chelating groups can also be prepared by simple metathesis reactions. Thus, reaction between (MeOMe2Si)2Me3SiCK and HgBr2 gives (MeOMe2Si)2Me3SiCHgBr in 31% yield <1999JCS(D)3267>, reaction of 40 with HgBr2 gives [(Me2NMe2Si)(Me3Si)2C]2Hg in 51% yield <1999OM45>, reaction of 39 with HgCl2 gives 59 in 62% yield <2002JCS(D)2467>, and reaction of the [Li(TMEDA)2] salt of the diorganolithiate ion 44 with HgBr2 gives a 91% yield of 60 <1996OM1651>.

(d) Three Si and one group 13 metal functions. There has been increasing interest in compounds containing a Si3MC grouping (where M = Al, Ga, In, or Tl) and several such compounds have been found to be useful precursors to a wide range of novel organometallic compounds. The synthesis of these compounds relies largely on metathesis reactions between a bulky trisilyllithium reagent [for their synthesis see Section 6.13.1.2.1.(i).(a)] and a metal halide. One potential problem with this synthetic method is that coordinating solvents, such as THF or Et2O that are convenient to use in the synthesis of the organolithium reagent, may be cleaved by strong Lewis acidic group 13 compounds. For example, the reaction of TsiLi with BX3 (X = F, Cl, or Br) in Et2O affords TsiOEt and not TsiBX2 species <1995OM3098>. This problem can be avoided by the use of base-free trisilyllithium reagents [for their synthesis see Section 6.13.1.2.1.(i).(a)]. The reactions between bulky trisilyllithium reagents and aluminum halides give the products expected from metathesis reactions. For example, TsiAlMe2THF is formed in 85% yield from the reaction between TsiLi2THF and Me2AlCl in THF <1997CEJ1783> and the solventfree TsiAlMe2 is formed in 68% yield when base-free TsiLi in toluene is used <1997ZAAC(623)1455>. Similarly, reaction of (CyMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CLiTHF (Cy = cyclohexyl) with Me2AlCl gives (CyMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CAlMe2THF in 88% yield and which has been used to

Functions Containing at Least One Metalloid (Si, Ge, or B)

prepare a range of other (CyMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CAlX2 derivatives <2001MI(162)225>. The dimethyl derivative TsiAlMe2THF is also a useful precursor to other crowded alanes. For example, the reaction with Me3SnX (X = F or Cl) gives TsiAlX2THF, and with Br2 or I2 gives TsiAlBr2THF and TsiAlI2THF, respectively <1998OM2249>. Reduction of TsiAlI2THF by NaK alloy gives the tetrahedrane [TsiAl]4, analogous to the tetrahedranes of Ga, In, and Tl described below <1998AG(E)1952>. Base-free TsiLi reacts with AlCl3 at 78 C in a 1:1 ratio to give Li[TsiAlCl3] in 83% yield <1997ZAAC(623)1455> but if 2 equiv. of TsiLi are used then a methylation occurs to give TsiAlMeCl <2001ZAAC(627)715>. If a coordinating group is present in the trisilyllithium reagent or the aluminum halide, then solvent may be excluded from the coordination sphere of the aluminum in the product. For example, reaction of 40 with AlCl3 generates 61 in 91% yield <1999OM45>, reaction of (Me2NMe2Si)3CLi with AlCl3 in toluene containing THF gives 62 as a colorless solid in almost quantitative yield <1998OM3135>, and the product, 63, in Equation (11) is formed in 50% yield in THF solution <1995CB493>. However, the weaker basic OMe site in 64, derived from the reaction of (Me3Si)2(MeOMe2Si)CLi2THF with AlCl3 in 62% yield, does not prevent THF from coordinating to the Al <1998OM4322>.

Bulky trisilyllithium reagents have also been used to prepare sterically hindered aluminum hydrides, which are often monomeric in contrast to species containing less sterically demanding substituents. For example, the treatment of TsiLi with H3AlNMe3 readily affords TsiAlH2THF in 86% yield <2001OM2047>. Several trisilyllithium reagents, (RMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CLi (where R = Me, Ph, or NMe2), react with LiAlH4 in THF to give cyclic dimers 65 <1994OM4143, 2000JOM(597)3>. These structures all incorporate THF, excluding, in the case where R = NMe2, coordination of aluminum by the nitrogen. Treatment of the dimers where R = Me or Ph with Me3SiCl gives the simple hydrides (RMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CAlH2THF in 40% and 50% yields, respectively <2000JOM(597)3>. Reaction of 65, where R = Me, with 4 equiv. of 2,6-Pri2C6H3OH gives the diaryloxo species 66 in 75% yield and with Ph3SiOH the monomeric 67 is formed in 98% yield <2002JCS(D)3971>. The trisilyllithium reagent (MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CLi2THF reacts with LiAlH4 in THF to give 68 in which the weakly basic SiOMe group does coordinate to the Li to exclude coordination by a second THF molecule <1998OM4322>. (The structure of 68 was later found to be dimeric <2000JOM(597)3>.) The reaction of (MeOMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CLi with LiAlH4 gives [Li(THF)4][(MeOMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CAlH3] <1999JCS(D)3267>.

Some remarkable polymetallic compounds have been isolated from the reaction between TsiLi and the gallium(I) halide GaBr. Thus, the reaction in toluene/THF at 78 C affords the lithium salt of the anion [Ga19Tsi6] in 30% yield <2000JA9178> and a small amount of the fused tetrahedrane derivative 69 <2001AG(E)1241>. The [Ga19Tsi6] anion contains a central Ga13 metal core surrounded by six Tsi–Ga substituents. Use of the simpler, related tetrahedrane [TsiGa]4, as a source of the monomer TsiGa for the preparation of a wide variety of organometallic compounds containing TsiGa as a ligand has been demonstrated (see, e.g., <2001IC750, 2000JCS(D)3133>).

The reaction of base-free TsiLi and GaX3 (X = Cl or I) at 78 C in a 1:1 ratio gives Li[TsiGaX3], but if 2 equiv. of TsiLi are used then a methylation occurs to give TsiGaMeCl <2001ZAAC(627)715>. Reaction of GaCl3 with (EtMe2Si)3CLi gives [Li(THF)4][(EtMe2Si)3CGaCl3] in 49% yield. Both this species and the (Me3Si)3C analog can be reduced by magnesium to give the corresponding tetragallium tetrahedranes <1998JOM(555)263>. The THF adduct, TsiGaMe2THF, can be isolated in 90% yield from the reaction between TsiLi2THF and Me2GaCl in THF. When the adduct is sublimed the THF is lost to give the solvent-free TsiGaMe2 <1997CEJ1783>, which can also be prepared in 58% yield from the reaction between base-free TsiLi and Me2GaCl <1997ZAAC(623)1455>. If a coordinating group is present in the trisilyllithium substituent, then solvent is excluded from the product; thus, reaction of 40 with GaCl3 generates the gallium analog of 61 in 58% yield <1999OM45>. The reactions between InBr and trisilyllithium reagents as shown in Equation (12) afford oligomers of (RR1MeSi)3CIn, 70 <1995JOM(493)C1, 1998OM5009>. For RR1 = Me2, EtMe, and BunMe the compounds are tetrameric in benzene solution, while for the larger cases of RR1 = MePri and MePh the compounds are monomers in solution. For RR1 = Et2 there is a monomer–dimer equilibrium in solution. In the solid state when RR1 = Me2, EtMe, Et2, or MePri, the compounds are tetrameric, having a near perfect tetrahedral arrangement of indium atoms, similar to the tetrahedral gallium species described previously <1995COFGT(6)377>. In the reaction of TsiLi with InBr an unusual species 71 is also formed in 24% yield, which contains a chain of three indium atoms <2002ZAAC(628)1963>. The tetrahedrane [TsiIn]4 has been used as a convenient source of the monomer TsiIn for the preparation of a variety of organometallic compounds containing TsiIn (see, e.g., <2003OM2705, 2001CEJ4216, 2001IC750, 2000ZAAC(626)2043>).

The reaction of In(III) compounds with bulky lithium reagents has also continued to be of interest. Thus, the reaction of InBr3 with TsiLi in THF/Et2O gives a 60% yield of [Li(THF)4][TsiInBr3] <1998ZAAC(624)4> and the reaction of TsiLi with Me2InCl in Et2O gives TsiInMe2 in 65% yield <1997ZAAC(623)1455>. The reaction of base-free TsiLi and InX3 (X = Cl, Br, or I) at 78 C in a 1:1 ratio gives Li[TsiInX3] but if 2 equiv. of TsiLi are used then a methylation occurs to give TsiInMeCl, and if 3 equiv. of TsiLi are used then two methylations occur to give TsiInMe2 together with the 1,3-disilacyclobutane [Me2SiC(SiMe3)2]2 <2001ZAAC(627)715>. If moisture is present in the reaction between TsiLi and Prn2InBr, an unusual hydroxide-bridged trimer, 72, is formed in 28% yield, presumably via hydrolysis of the initially formed TsiInPr2n <1999ZAAC(625)547>. Some of the chemistry described above for gallium and indium can be extended to thallium. The reaction of TsiLi with the thallium(I) organometallic TlCp in a 1:1 ratio gives the deep red-violet TsiTl, which is tetrameric in the solid state having a slightly distorted tetrahedron of thallium atoms similar to that described above for the gallium and indium analogs <1997AG(E)64>.

(e) Three Si and one group 14 metal functions. Compounds containing the Si3MC grouping where M = Sn or Pb are usually made by simple metathesis reactions between trisilyllithium reagents and metal halides. For example, reaction between SnX4 and TsiLi in Et2O at 78 C affords the expected TsiSnX3 compounds in excellent yields, 91% for X = Cl <2002AG(E)1365> and 89% for X = Br <1999EJI869>. However, reaction between (Me3Si)3CLi and SnX4 (where X = Cl, Br, or I) in a 2:1 ratio in toluene solution gives (Me3Si)3C(PhCH2)SnX2 in 58%, 72%, and 76% yields respectively for X = Cl, Br, or I, apparently via a radical mechanism similar to that found in the germanium analog described in Section 6.13.1.1.2 <1999ZAAC(625)1807>. The related bulky reagent, (PhMe2Si)3CLi, reacts with SnCl4 in THF to give only a 25% yield of (PhMe2Si)3CSnCl3 along with (PhMe2Si)3CCl as the main product but it reacts more cleanly with Me2SnCl2 to give (PhMe2Si)3CSnMe2Cl, which reacts readily with EtOH to give the final product (PhMe2Si)3CSnMe2OEt in 76% yield <1998JOM(564)215>. Related reagents that contain substituents capable of intramolecular coordination to the tin atom also undergo similar metathesis reactions. Thus reaction of 40 with SnCl4 gives (Me2NMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CSnCl3, which probably has intramolecular SnN coordination, in 78% yield <1999OM45>, and treatment of (Me2NMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CLi with Me3SnCl gives (Me2NMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CSnMe3 (along with the precursor (Me2NMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CH) <1999JCS(D)3267>. Derivatization using Bu3SnCl of the organometallic reagent formed by metallation of 3 affords a derivative of 5 in which a Bu3Sn group has replaced the SiMe2R group <1998CL1145>. It is likely that a second metallation and further reaction with a tin halide would give a further range of compounds containing two Si3SnC substituted centers. Introduction of two tin atoms occurs in the reaction of the [Li(TMEDA)2] salt of 44 with Me2SnCl2 or the [Li(THF)4] salt of 44 with SnCl4 to afford [ClR2SnC(SiMe3)2SiMe2CH2]2 in 79% and 47% yields, respectively for R = Me and Cl <1999OM2342>. The Si3SnC grouping has also been prepared by using the reaction between a disilylstannyllithium reagent and a silyl chloride. Thus, (Me3Si)2(PhMe2Sn)CLi reacts with Me2SiCl2 to furnish (Me3Si)2(PhMe2Sn)CSiMe2Cl in 76% yield <1998JOM(564)215>. Reactions of (Me3Si)2(PhMe2Sn)CLi (for its synthesis, see Section 6.13.1.3.1) with a range of other metal halides would, no doubt, allow convenient preparation of many new Si2SnMC groupings. The high degree of steric protection afforded by an (R3Si)3C substituent at a group 14 metal center has prompted investigation into the stabilization of M(II) species where M = Sn or Pb by such substituents. Reaction of (Me3Si)2(2-NC5H4Me2Si)CLi with SnCl2 or PbCl2 gives monomeric organotin- and organolead(II) chlorides in 74% and 47% yields, respectively, which have structures analogous to that of the related germanium compound 27 <2001OM1223>. The bis-methoxy species (MeOMe2Si)2Me3SiCLi reacts with SnCl2 to give (MeOMe2Si)2Me3SiCSnCl in 65% yield <1999JCS(D)3267>. The first structurally characterized organometallic ate complex of Sn(II), has a structure similar to that of the germanium analog, 28, and has been prepared in 60% yield from the reaction of (Me3Si)3CLi with Sn(SBun)2 <2002OM4005>. Treatment of the K(THF)2 salt of [CH2(SiMe2)(Me3Si)2C]2 2 (see Section 6.13.1.2.1(a)) with SnCl2 in Et2O at 78 C gives a mixture of dialkyl Sn(II) compounds 73 (M = Sn) and 74, both of which readily undergo oxidative addition reactions to give Sn(IV) compounds <1997OM5621, 2000OM49, 2002OM2183, 2002OM2430>. Chlorobridged dimers 75 are formed from the reaction of (PhMe2Si)3CLi and MCl2 in THF <1995CC1829, 1997OM5653>. The lead species is a yellow-orange solid and is the first monoorganolead(II) derivative to be characterized. In contrast, if the smaller reagent TsiLi reacts with PbCl2 in THF then a chloro-bridged trimer 76 is produced in 85% yield <1997OM5653>. When the organolithium reagent (MeOMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CLi reacts with MCl2, where M = Sn or Pb, intramolecular coordination of the OMe group to the metal occurs to give the four-coordinate M(II) species 77 <1997OM5653>. Treatment of the [Li(TMEDA)2] salt of 44 with PbCl2 gives the Pb(II) organometallic species 73 (M = Pb) as dark blue crystals in 85% yield <1997OM5621>.

The reactions between group I metal derivatives of trisilylmethanes and CuCN can give a variety of products.

Similar dimers, 91 and 92, are formed, in 65% and 41% yield, respectively, directly from reactions with (RMe2Si)(Me3Si)2CLi (R = Me or NMe2) while (MeOMe2Si)2(Me3Si)CLi gives 93 <2002JCS(D)3975>. Crystallization of the product formed from the potassium reagent (PhMe2Si)3CK and CuCN gives the tetramer 94 in 43% yield <2000OM5780>.

(g) Three Si and one lanthanide or actinide functions. The first structurally characterized -bonded organosamarium(II) complex [Sm{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2OMe)}2THF] was obtained from the reaction between K{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2OMe)} and [SmI2(THF)2]. The compound is isolated as deep green-black, air-sensitive crystals in 71% yield and should inspire further work into alkyl, rather than the more well-known cyclopentadienyl, derivatives of samarium <1997AG(E)2815>. Reaction of a range of alkylpotassium species with YbI2 (Equation (13)) in benzene solution gives simple, monomeric dialkylytterbium compounds 95 <1994JA12071, 1996OM4783> including the solvent-free dialkyl lanthanide compound Tsi2Yb as an orange solid in 85% yield which, despite the steric encumbrance of the Tsi groups, is bent at Yb (CYbC angle 137 ) and can act as a polymerization catalyst for methylmethacrylate <2002JOM(647)128, 2003T10409>. A similar metathetical reaction occurs between TsiK and EuI2 to give the bent species Tsi2Eu in 65% yield <1996OM4783>. Grignard-like complexes [RYbIEt2O]2, 96, are formed from the reaction between RI and elemental Yb in Et2O (Equation (14)) <1994JA12071, 1996OM4783>. Reaction of the dipotassium compound 48 with YbI2 in benzene solution affords 97 in 45% yield <1999OM2342>. In contrast to the reactions carried out in benzene as a solvent, reaction between TsiK and YbI2 in Et2O in either a 2:1 or a 1:1 ratio gives the centrosymmetric dimer 98 as orange-red crystals in 63% yield. It is not clear how the EtO group is generated, but possibly by the Lewis acid character of initially formed Tsi2Yb or TsiK cleaving the solvent <1994CC2691, 1995JCS(D)3933>. YbI2 +

As has been seen in sections above there is a general lack of compounds containing several germanium atoms attached to the same carbon and there do not appear to be any compounds containing the Ge3MC grouping known. Such compounds should be readily available via the routes used to prepare the many analogous Si3MC containing functions as described above.

This compound does not seem to have been of use in synthesis but has been the subject of several detailed structural studies (see, e.g., <1999MI385>). A method for obtaining very pure Hofmann’s base, [CHg4O(OH)2OH2]n, has been described <1996JOM(522)297>. The pure base can be used in the preparation of C(HgNO3)4 and C(HgSO4)2(HgOH2)2.

Although there are a potential 135 751 different combinations (and their optical isomers) of 43 different metals at a tetrahedral carbon center, very few seem to have been prepared. A comprehensive search of the literature for such a large number of functional groups is clearly very difficult to carry out and it is quite possible that many such groupings have been missed in compiling this article. It is hoped that any omissions of such groupings will not be serious for the organic chemist.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This chapter is dedicated to Professor C. Eaborn, FRS, who died in February 2004. Much of the chemistry described above was initiated in the Eaborn group and the versatility of reagents, such as (Me3Si)3CLi, that have now become popular across a wide range of organometallic chemistry was demonstrated first in the research laboratories at Sussex University.

Functions Containing a Carbonyl Group and at Least One Halogen INTRODUCTION

The literature search was done using the general term carbonyl halides and other specific compounds such as carbonyl difluoride, phosgene, chloroformates, etc., discussed by name in this chapter. As observed by the authors, of COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>, the present authors observed more literature on those compounds, when the halogen is chlorine. For example, there are more references on carbonyl dichloride than those on carbonyl difluoride, carbonyl dibromide, and carbonyl diiodide combined. Similarly in the case of halo formate derivatives there are more references on chloro formates than those on, fluoro-, bromo-, or iodo-formates. The arrangement of sections and subsections is similar to that of COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>, except some sections are not repeated as not much has changed between then and the end of 2003. For example, the section on toxicity and handling of phosgene is not repeated here. In the decade up to 2003, the trend has been towards the ‘‘green chemistry’’ concept of alternative synthetic approaches for the titled functional groups that would replace toxic substances like carbon monoxide and phosgene with other relatively less/nontoxic chemicals like carbon dioxide.

CARBONYL HALIDES WITH TWO SIMILAR HALOGENS

The general preparations reported in <1995COFGT(6)407> on these carbonyl difluoride, dichloride, dibromide, and diiodide are summarized in Scheme 1. There are three general synthetic routes for these compounds. One of the methods is by halogen exchange reaction on carbonyl chloride or phosgene using a halide source. The other two methods start from carbon monoxide and halogen (carbon monoxide insertion into halogens works well for carbonyl difluoride and dichloride), and oxidation of a perhalogenated organic compound with an oxygen oxidant (works well for carbonyl dibromide).

Carbonic Difluoride

A novel approach to making carbonyl difluoride has been to react carbon dioxide and fluorine gas (Equation (1)). This method does not use toxic compounds such as phosgene and carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide and fluorine are allowed to react with each other in the gaseous state, to produce carbonyl difluoride, at a preferred temperature range of 150–250 C with a mole ratio of 0.5:2, and near atmospheric pressure in a fluorine resistant metal, such as stainless steel, under anhydrous conditions <1999JAP11116216>.

Carbonyl difluoride has been used in the synthesis of fluorinated methyl ethers <1995USP5382704> of the formula R2CHOCF2A where A is Cl or F, and each R is H, (CF2)nCl, (CF2)nF, or (CF2)nH (where n = 1–10). Dry etching of high-melting-point metals has been achieved by using carbonyl compounds, specifically that of carbonyl difluoride <1995JAP07221074>. This process has been useful for forming electrodes, circuits, etc.

Carbonic Dichloride

Carbonic dichloride or carbonyl dichloride or phosgene is the most important of all the functional compounds mentioned in this chapter. It is made commercially in large quantities and almost all the other functional groups mentioned in this chapter could be obtained by chemical transformations on phosgene. Phosgene is also a highly toxic and very reactive compound. It is an industrially important compound, as it is used in the preparation of polyurethanes and polycarbonates. Hence, it is the most studied of all the functional groups mentioned in this chapter. In the early 2000s, there is an awareness that phosgene should be replaced by other less toxic chemicals in the synthesis of polyurethanes and polycarbonates.

6.14.2.2.1

Preparation of phosgene

In general, phosgene has been prepared in three ways: the classical synthesis of insertion of carbon monoxide to chlorine; the chemical as well as photochemical oxidation of perchlorinated compounds; and the decomposition of other phosgene derivatives such as chloroformates and carbonates which are also used as phosgene alternatives. All these methods have been discussed in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>. Phosgene is also produced as one of the products in the photocatalytic degradation of perhalogenated hydrocarbons on porous titanium oxide <2001AC(B)109, 2002MI412>. A report on the synthesis of phosgene from triphosgene or bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate, along with the comparison of the reactivity of phosgene with that of diphosgene and triphosgene with methanol, has been published <2000JOC8224>. Phosgene can be manufactured from diphosgene and triphosgene using deactivated amines as the catalysts. The amine catalysts are selected from poly(2-vinylpyridine), phenanthridine, phthalocyanines, and metallophthalocyanines free and on a polymer support, and poly(N,N-dimethylaminomethylstyrene) <1999GEP19740577>. There are a few reports of carbon labeled phosgene synthesis, which were also discussed in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>. Even in the preparation of 11C-labeled phosgene to make 11C-labeled ureas and isocyanates, alternatives like 11C-labeled carbon dioxide have been used <1999MI537>. Another example of the use of 11C-carbon monoxide in place of labeled phosgene is in the preparation of 11C-carbamoyl compounds using selenium <2002JOC3687>. 11 C-Phosgene, a useful precursor for labeling several radiopharmaceuticals, is generally made by catalytic oxidation of 11C-carbon tetrachloride over iron granules, although in low yields or with poor reproducibility. Chlorination of 11C-methane followed by reaction with a stream of 98:2 nitrogen/oxygen over iron has provided 11C-phosgene <2001MI785>. The yield of 11C-phosgene was significantly increased by using iron oxide along with iron granules <2002MI345>. A simple review of the history, preparation, and uses of phosgene was done by Senet <1998MI12>. A modified production of phosgene from carbon monoxide and chlorine has been patented. This patent claims the use of a metal halide catalyst preferably selected from group III metals like aluminum and gallium <1999GEP19916856>. An improved method for the preparation of phosgene in the laboratory has been reported. In this approach phosgene was prepared by addition of 95–98% sulfuric acid to a mixture of phosphorus pentoxide and carbon tetrachloride <1998MI123>. An interesting way to address the toxicity and safety issues associated with phosgene is the use of a microfabricated reactor for its manufacture. This is an example of the potential for safe on-site/on-demand production of a hazardous compound, in this case phosgene. Complete conversion of chlorine is observed for a 1:1 feed at 8 cc/min, which gives a projected productivity of approximately 100 kg/year from a 10-channel microreactor, with the opportunity to produce significant quantities by operating many reactors in parallel <2001MI1639>.

6.14.2.2.2

Phosgene alternatives

Because of the toxicity and the high reactivity of phosgene, many alternatives have been made and used as phosgene equivalents. Interestingly, most of them are made from phosgene but are easier to handle than phosgene itself. The most common phosgene alternatives mentioned in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407> are summarized in Scheme 2.

Ureas have been traditionally synthesized by methodologies mainly based on the use of dangerous reagents such as phosgene and isocyanates. However, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, these reagents have been increasingly substituted by cleaner and inherently safer compounds, referred to as phosgene substitutes, such as bis(4-nitrophenyl)carbonate, triphosgene, di-t-butyl-dicarbonate, 1,1-carbonylbisimidazole, 1,1-carbonylbisbenzotriazole, S,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate, and trihaloacetyl chlorides. These safer reagents could be stored and handled without special precautions <2000GC140>. Phosgene has been replaced with carbon dioxide in the synthesis of alkyl carbonates. Mixed or symmetrical dialkyl carbonates were generated in high yields (53–97%) from alcohols, carbon dioxide, and alkyl chlorides in apolar aprotic solvents using guanidine bases under mild conditions <1995JOC6205>.

(i) Prepared from phosgene The common phosgene alternatives are usually made from phosgene, replacing either one or both of the chlorine atoms with a leaving group, and thus making the whole compound more stable and easier to handle. There are also reviews on the use of these phosgene alternatives. For example, the use of bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate or triphosgene in organic synthesis as a substitute for phosgene is well reviewed <1996S553, 1994MI357>. The preparation of N,N0 -carbonyldiimidazole has been reported, starting from imidazole and phosgene. Reaction of imidazole with phosgene in toluene in the presence of tributylamine gave 76% yield of N,N0 -carbonyldiimidazole <2001MI33>.

6.14.2.3

Carbonic Dibromide

Carbon monoxide and bromine are reacted over activated carbon to give carbonyl dibromide (Equation (2)). Like phosgene, carbonyl dibromide is also used in the synthesis of compounds such as diaryl carbonates <1992EUP520238>. In the application on the use of carbonyl dibromide in the preparation of diaryl carbonates, aluminum trifluoride has been used as the catalyst <1992EUP516355>. Carbonyl dibromide is also used in the synthesis of metal bromides and their bromide oxides <1997JCS(D)257>. This reaction of carbonyl bromide with metal oxides is further discussed in Section 6.14.4.7 on the halocarbonyl metal compounds. Activated “C” CO

However, it has been found that heating carbon tetraiodide in a stream of oxygen results in the formation of carbonyl diiodide, and this has been confirmed from its infrared (IR) spectrum (Equation (3)) <1995CPL594>. Carbonyl diiodide, which is similar to carbonyl difluoride, has

A method for the production of aliphatic fluoroformates, where carbonyl fluoride is esterified with aliphatic alcohols (e.g., t-butanol) in an ether at 20 C to +50 C, is described. The method is carried out using carbonyl fluoride obtained by reacting phosgene with surplus powdered sodium fluoride whose granules have a specific surface of 0.1 m2 g1 and/or an average diameter of 20 mm. This method enables the preparation of unstable fluoroformates (e.g., t-Bu fluoroformate) in excellent yields (Equation (11)) <2000WOP0059859>.

6.14.4.1.2

Chloroformate esters

Next to phosgene, chloroformate esters are the most important industrial compounds considered in this chapter. Significant research has been done on the transformation of these compounds into other compounds. Chloroformates are much easier to handle than phosgene and the difference in reactivity of the two leaving groups has been exploited in its chemistry. Diphosgene or trichloromethyl chloroformate, a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, is reviewed. Its reactions with amines, alcohols, and others have been discussed <1992MI230>. Similarly, another chloroformate, methyl chloroformate, has been reviewed for its chemistry as well as its hazardous nature <1994MI181>. As mentioned earlier, because of its importance as an industrial chemical, procedures for the storage and transport of chloroformate esters with reduced decomposition are well documented and regulated. For example, using polymer surface coatings of polyethylene for storage vessels as well as transport pipes decreases the decomposition of ethyl chloroformate <2002GEP10102807>. Chloroformates with the simplest alkyls, such as methyl, ethyl, or isobutyl, are used as general derivatizing agents in gas chromatography. The use of chloroformates in this regard in various disciplines has been reviewed <1998JC57>. The preparation and application of chloroformates, for the immobilization of enzymes, have been described <1995ANY391>.

(i) From phenols and phosgene A continuous process is reported for the preparation of monofunctional aromatic chloroformates. Thus para-cumylphenol in methylene chloride reacted with phosgene in the presence of excess of aqueous sodium hydroxide gave a very good yield of the chloroformate with trace amounts of the diaryl carbonate impurity <2000WOP0058259> (Equation (12)). Other similar approaches are also known <2001WOP0132598, 1994JAP06135900, 1994USP5332841, 1993RUP1240016, 1993RUP1235148, 1996EUP743298, 2000WOP0051964>.

Bromoformate esters

From COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407> it is known that these compounds, bromoformate ester, are prepared by two approaches. One using the reaction of alcohols with carbonyl dibromide, and two using the bromide exchange reaction on the chloroformates. Up until the end of 2003, no new approaches have been reported for making bromoformate esters.

Stable iodoformates were reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>. The first iodoformate, 9-triptycyl iodoformate, was made photochemically from its 9-triptycyl monoester of oxalic acid. Iodoformates have also been synthesized by using the iodide exchange reaction on chloroformates. Up until the end of 2003, there have not been any new approaches to the synthesis of iodoformates.

Similar to the oxygen system of haloformate esters, here again in the halothiolformate esters the synthetic methods mentioned in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407> are summarized in Scheme 5. The insertion of carbon monoxide to sulfenyl halide, the nucleophilic displacement of one of the halogen in carbonyl dihalide with a thiol, and the halogen exchange on a halothiolformate are the three general routes to halothiolformate esters.

Fluorothiolformate esters

6.14.4.2.2

Chlorothiolformate esters

Here one should be careful not to confuse the thiono formates, with sulfur in the thiocarbonyl group (C¼S), with that of thiol formates, with sulfur in the thiol group (CS). In some cases the thiono formates could rearrange to thiol formates as seen with the allylic thiono chloroformates.

(i) From phosgene and thiols Thiochloroformates are manufactured with reduced amount of by-products by reacting thiols with phosgene in the presence of ureas as a catalyst. For example, phosgene and n-octanethiol with N,N-dimethylpropyleneurea as the catalyst, gave mainly n-octylthio chloroformate with very small amounts of thiocarbonate and disulfide as impurities <1999GEP19737619>.

(ii) By rearrangement of allylic thionochloroformates Treatment of allylic alcohols with thiophosgene and pyridine gives thiolo chloroformates directly at rt, presumably via a very rapid [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of thionochloroformates. Synthesis of allyl thionochloroformate from allyl alcohols sodium hydride and thiophosgene at low temperature and warming up to rt supports this finding <1999TL8059>. Thiophosgene, as seen above, has been used in the synthesis of thiochloroformates. General reviews on the industrial synthesis of thiophosgene and derivatives are available <1998MI252, 1997OPRD240>.

6.14.4.2.3

Bromothiolformate esters

These compounds, bromothiolformate esters, have rarely been reported <1995COFGT(6)407>. Bromide exchange on a fluorothiolformate has been reported to make trifluoromethyl bromothiolformate and carbon monoxide insertion on methylsulfenyl bromide has been used to make methyl bromothiolformate. Up until the end of 2003, new methods for the synthesis of bromothiolformate esters were not found in the literature.

6.14.4.2.4

Similarly to what was reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>, the present authors did not find any reference to this class of compounds in the period up to 2003.

6.14.4.3

One Halogen and One Nitrogen

The general methods reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407> for the preparation of the above-mentioned compounds are summarized in Scheme 6. The reaction of carbonyl dihalide with primary, secondary, and tertiary amines leads to carbamoyl halides, which in the case of a primary amine could further be converted into isocyanates, an important industrial compound. The secondary amine carbamoyl halides could also be synthesized from either carbon monoxide insertion into dialkyl haloamines, or halogenation of N,N-dialkyl formamides. Halo cyanato and halo thiocyanato carbonyl compounds are made by nucleophilic displacement of the corresponding anions source with a carbonyl dihalide.

A carbamoyl fluoride is suggested as the intermediate in this reaction, which is isolated in small amounts from the reaction mixture <2002WOP0255487> (Scheme 7).

Carbamoyl chlorides have also been made using the phosgene substitute, trichloromethyl carbonate or triphosgene. The effects of solvent, reaction time and temperature, feed ratio, and dosage of nucleophile on the yield have been discussed <2000MI16>. Solid-phase synthesis of ureas of secondary amines via carbamoyl chloride has been reported. Secondary amines attached to a solid support such as the Wang resin can be converted to the corresponding carbamoyl chlorides by treatment with phosgene or triphosgene <1997TL1895>.

A novel synthesis of 3-substituted 1-chlorocarbonylimidazolidin-2-ones using triphosgene or bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate has been reported. The yields and purity of the products obtained are better than those obtained by a conventional method using phosgene <2000JCR(S)440, 2000OPP498>. New and efficient palladium-catalyzed routes to carbamoyl chlorides have been reported. The palladium-based catalytic system is very active and operates in two steps, avoiding the synthesis of phosgene, but making use of carbon monoxide and chlorine as in phosgene chemistry. Primary amines lead directly to isocyanates and the secondary amines lead to carbamoyl chlorides <2000OM3879>.

6.14.4.3.3

Carbamoyl bromides

Carbamoyl bromides or N-bromocarbonyl compounds have been made as reported in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407> using the general methods used for the preparations of carbamoyl halides. The addition of hydrogen bromide to an isocyanate or the exchange of chloride in carbamoyl chlorides with a bromide source are the two common approaches to the synthesis of carbamoyl bromides. Up until the end of 2003, new methods for the synthesis of carbamoyl bromides have not been seen in the literature.

6.14.4.3.4

Carbamoyl iodides

These compounds are suggested to be not very stable according to COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>. Only one approach, that of addition of hydrogen iodide to an isocyanate, has been reported for the synthesis of carbamoyl iodides. There have been no new reports on the synthesis of this class of compounds, up to the end of 2003.

Synthesis of compounds belonging to this section, mentioned in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)407>, is summarized in Scheme 8. The trivalent phosphorus compounds could further react either by elimination of CO to give phosphorus halide, or by elimination of hydrogen halide to give phosphaketene. The reaction of trisalkoxy phosphorus with carbonyl dihalide gives alkyl halide and (dialkoxyphosphinyl)formyl halide, a pentavalent phosphorus compound (Arbuzov reaction).

When the substituent was phenyl, the initial adduct, chlorocarbonyl phosphorus compound, was very stable, and when the substituent was a t-butyl the initial adduct readily lost the CO to give the corresponding chlorophosphine compound <1999ZAAC1979>. In the same paper the reaction of diphosphine with phosgene was reported. It was found to be inert in the absence of hydrogen chloride. In the presence of HCl the PP bond was cleaved to give the primary phosphine and the chlorophosphine as the products <1999ZAAC1979>. All these reactions are summarized in Scheme 9. COCl2/ether

The organometal carbonyls reactions with halogens are known to give organometal carbonyl halides <1995COFGT(6)407>. These compounds could further lose carbon monoxide to give organometal halides. The synthesis of metal bromides and their bromide oxides by the use of carbonyl dibromide must have gone through bromocarbonyl metal intermediates. Carbonyl dibromide reacted with a wide selection of d- and f-block transition-metal oxides to form either the metal bromide or bromide oxide. The reaction was done, by heating the metal oxides at 125 C for 10 days with excess carbonyl dibromide in a sealed tube. Under these conditions V2O5, MoO2, Re2O7, Sm2O3, and UO3 were converted into VOBr2, MoO2Br2, ReOBr4, SmBr3, and UOBr3, respectively <1997JCS(D)257>.

CARBONYL CHALCOGENIDES WITH TWO SIMILAR CHALCOGEN FUNCTIONS

An overview on all functional group transformations, which can be accomplished by use of phosgene as well as by use of about 70 phosgene substitutes and equivalents, has been presented in 2003 by Cotarca and Eckert in Phosgenations—A Handbook .

6.15.1.1

Two Oxygen Functions

Carbonic acid is principally a difunctional carboxylic acid; therefore, manifold preparative accesses for a great variety of its organic derivatives exist, which differ widely in rate and selectivity of reactions and reagents. Some reviews have been published .

6.15.1.1.1

Carbonates from phosgene and substitutes, chloroformates

Phosgene, as the formal carboxylic acid dichloride of carbonic acid, is a highly reactive reagent, which affords high turnovers and good yields. Thus, both symmetrical and unsymmetrical dicarbonates, the latter via chloroformates, can easily be produced. A key intermediate of the decalin part of azadirachtin, an antifeedant, insect growth regulatory, and reproductive effective substance from the Neem tree Azadirachta indica, has been prepared by carbonylation of the alcohol with methyl chloroformate, affording the carbonate (Equation (1)) <2000S1878>.

During a nice enantioselective total synthesis of epothilone A using multifunctional asymmetric catalysis (Suzuki cross-coupling of fragment A with fragment C, followed by Yamaguchi lactonization), the reaction of the aldehyde with TMS-acetylide affords an alcohol, which is methoxycarbonylated with methyl chloroformate resulting the carbonate (Equation (2)) <2000JA10521>. _

Functions Containing a Carbonyl Group and at Least One Chalcogen

A carbonate intermediate for the synthesis of functionalized ‘‘pyridoindoles,’’ which have attracted great interest by virtue of their cytotoxic activity toward leukemia cells, has been prepared by using ethyl chloroformate <2001T4787>. Phenyl chloroformate has been employed in the cyclocarbonylation reaction to prepare an intermediate in synthesis of solanoeclepin A <2000CC1463>. Functionalization of taxol, which is a powerful anticancer drug, in the position 2, is an important pharmaceutical tool. This can be achieved advantageously by cyclocarbonylation of the 1,2-diol at 13-deoxy-7-TES baccatin III with phosgene yielding 95% of the corresponding 1,2-cyclocarbonate (Equation (3)), which will further be reacted with alkyllithium compounds to afford 2-acylbaccatin derivatives under ring opening of the 1,2-cyclocarbonate <1994CC295>.

A highly interesting synthetic route for preparing intermediates of ‘‘retinal’’ comprises a palladium-catalyzed transformation of an ‘‘yne-carbonate’’ into an ‘‘allenyl enal.’’ The carbonate is prepared by unsymmetrical carbonylation of propargylic alcohol and silyl enol ether with phosgene, each step with 90% yield (Scheme 1) <1994TL7383>.

In all reactions previously described phosgene is the basic chemical for the preparation of carbonates in a direct way as well in the synthesis of the chloroformates. Phosgene itself is a poisonous gas which was discovered in 1812 by Davy from the action of sunlight on carbon monoxide and chlorine. Extensive safety precautions are required to prevent exposure to phosgene during handling. In order to avoid the difficulties associated with the toxicity of phosgene gas, equivalents and substitutes for phosgene as well as the ‘‘safety phosgenation’’ have been developed . Another often used phosgene equivalent to accomplish carbonylation reactions is the solid 1,10 -carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). The conversion of (RS)-sec-phenethyl alcohol to its 2,2,2-trifluoroethylcarbonate, which is needed for the resolution of ‘‘chiral alcohols,’’ by using CDI in good yield has been described (Scheme 2) <2000TA1279>.

The bulk chemical diphenyl carbonate (DPhC), which is an important reagent in the manufacture of polycarbonates, has been produced by the oxidative carbonylation of phenol with carbon monoxide (CO) and air-oxygen catalyzed by Pd dinuclear complexes and redox catalyst (Equation (4)) <1999JMOC(148)289, 2000JMOC(154)243>. Reaction proceeds smoothly on a Pd dinuclear complex bridged with a pyridylphosphine ligand [Pd2(Ph2Ppy)2X2] and redox catalyst along with ammonium halide in the presence of CO and air at 100 C and the TOF reaches 19.21 (mol-DPhC/mol-Pd h).

Dialkylcarbonates have been prepared from CO2 and alkanols under Appel conditions by using tri-(1-butyl)-phosphane, tetrabromomethane, and cyclohexyl tetramethylguanidine (CyTMG). This strong, hindered, and non-nucleophilic base is more effective than other bases such as DBU. DMF is the solvent of choice (Equation (5)) <1996CL825>. Yields of dialkyl carbonates derived from various primary alkanols are 54–91%; from secondary alkanols they are 14–22%. + 2ROH

A three-component coupling system of aliphatic alcohol/CO2/alkyl halide under a pressure of 160 psig CO2 and in the presence of a peralkylated guanidine has been applied to prepare dialkylcarbonates <1995JOC6205>. Thus, di-1-butylcarbonate is obtained in 73% yield (by GC). An approach to synthesize ‘‘mixed’’ dialkylcarbonates employs the above three-component coupling system aliphatic alcohols/CO2/alkyl halides in the presence of Cs2CO3 and without pressure of CO2 (Scheme 3). This method shows a great variety in use of alcohols and alkyl halides (Table 1), reaction times are 2.5–23 h, yields of the resulting mixed dialkylcarbonates are 91–98% <1999JOC4578>.

One of the most attractive synthetic goals starting from CO2 is the bulk chemical dimethylcarbonate (DMC). An approach is the organostannane-catalyzed reaction of dehydrated derivatives of methanol (ortho-ester and acetals) with ‘‘supercritical’’ CO2 <1999JA3793, 1998JOC7095, 2000POL573>. The reaction of acetals is especially attractive because the starting material is much less expensive compared with ortho-esters, and the co-produced acetone can be recycled (Scheme 4).

Carbonates from ureas

Processes to produce DMC in high yield are of great interest. There is a need for low-cost DMC, because it becomes more and more important in fuel application as a gasoline additive. DMC has many desirable properties: almost 3 times the oxygen content of methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), good octane for blending (RON of 130), lower volatility than MTBE, and biodegradability. Reaction of methanol with urea to give DMC is a well-known low-yield synthesis, but the use of triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (triglyme) as a solvent, in conjunction with tin catalysts, affords high yields of DMC to be realized (Scheme 5) <1999USP5902894, 1998JAP10259165>.

For polycarbonates there is a huge and fast-growing market.

A number of synthetic routes for producing polycarbonates have been described. During this process phenol is removed by distillation and recycled by transesterification with DMC to afford DPhC which is employed again in the polycarbonate production process <1994CBR970, 1996PAC367, B-2003MI615-05>.

Oxygen and Nitrogen Functions

Carbamates are carbonic acid derivatives containing a carbonyl function directly connected to an alkoxy function and an amino function. They are important for producing pharmaceuticals and polymers, and therefore many preparative methods exist. A review is given in . The formal constitution allows a great deal of variety in the alkoxy component as well as the basic amino function. In general, two synthetic approaches to carbamates can be distinguished: the first method involves a carbonic acid derivative of an alcohol or of a phenol reacting with ammonia or amine and the second one involves carbonic acid derivatives of ammonia or an amine reacting with an alcohol or a phenol.

6.15.3.1.1

Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be reacted with amines and alkyl halides in the presence of bases (Scheme 10) <1995JOC2820>. Use of sterically hindered guanidine bases gives best results, i.e., 80–99% yield with virtually 100% selectivity.

Chloroformate as an intermediate is employed in the reaction of 3-chlorophenol, diphosgene, and hydrazine (Equation (35)) <1998CCC793>. OH

Instead of chloroformates, unsymmetrically substituted O-alkyl O0 -phenylcarbonates can be used; the phenoxy group activates the carbonate ester <1968HCA622, 1984CJC574> (Equation (36)).

Thiocarbamates from trichloroacetyl chloride, thiols, and amines

It has been found that the carbonyl group in trichloroacetic acid esters behaves like one in carbonic acid ester, i.e., it can be reacted twice with nucleophiles. This is exploited for a simple two-step synthesis of thiocarbamates from trichloroacetyl chloride, thiol, and amine <2003JOC3733>. Either trichloroacetyl chloride can be reacted first with an amine and then with a thiol, or first with a thiol and then with an amine (Scheme 12). The latter method provides significantly better yields of 83–100% for thiocarbamates.

A method using very simple starting materials for the preparation of tellurocarbamates employs elemental tellurium and carbon monoxide together with amines and alkyl halides <1993HAC471>. Thereby the corresponding lithium amides react with tellurium under atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide to yield carbamotellurates, which are trapped with alkyl halides to obtain the tellurocarbamates (Scheme 15).

Functions Containing a Carbonyl Group and at Least One Chalcogen Biographical sketch

Heiner Eckert was born in Munich, Germany, where he did his diploma in chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 1973, and received his Ph.D. with ‘‘summa cum laude’’ under Prof. Ugi three years later. In 1977 he founded ‘‘Dr. Eckert GmbH,’’ a company specializing in developing fine chemicals and processes for chemical production (phosgenations). At present he is working as an Academic Director at the TUM, with his research focused on new methods in organic syntheses development. Dr. Eckert has published numerous scientific papers and patents (natural product syntheses, metal phthalocyanines as reagents and catalysts), and indeed the ‘‘Eckert hydrogenation catalysts’’ are named after him. In 2003, he published the voluminous book Phosgenations–A Handbook.

Reaction of disubstituted silaazacyclohexanes with isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer afforded oligomeric silylureas useful as sealants <1994WOP14820>. The addition of bulky 4-(triphenylmethyl)aniline to linear isocyanates at 40 C in the presence of a macrocyclic host allowed for the preparation of nonpolymeric rotaxanes with urea-containing axles <1997SL1184>.

(b) Chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity of the addition. The chemoselectivity of the CuClcatalyzed carbamoylation of ergoline carboxamide 1 (Figure 1), bearing two reactive nitrogen atoms is determined by the nature of the ligand used <1995SL605>. Thus, the best ligand for carbamoylation of the indole nitrogen was found to be triethyl phosphite, whereas the chemoselectivity was reversed in the presence of 2,20 -bipyridyl. O

3-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole, also having two potential reaction sites, reacts with substituted benzylic isocyanates exclusively at the ring nitrogen with the amino substituent remaining intact <2002MI109>. A similar trend was observed on carbamoylation of 2-arylaminothiadiazolidinium chloride <1993H(35)1237>. 2-Substituted 1-methylperhydropyrimidines 2 (R1 = Me, Et, i-Pr, Ph), existing in equilibrium with minor, but more reactive open-chain tautomers, N-[3-(methylamino)propyl]imines, react with isocyanates R2NCO (R2 = t-Bu, Ph, Bn) producing either ureas 3 or 4 (Scheme 1) <1997HCA966>.

The reactions of isocyanates with ,-unsaturated amines bearing -hydrogen, such as 2,2-diamino acrylonitriles <1994JHC329> or N-monosubstituted -aminovinyl trifluoromethyl ketones 5 (Scheme 2) <2000TL10141, 2003T1731>, give either C-addition products e.g., 6, or ureas e.g., 7, with the nature of the predominating product depending both on the reactant substitution and the reaction conditions. Generally, the increase in the steric hindrance caused by N-substituents or those in the -position to the amino group or higher reaction temperatures favor the formation of the C-addition products, whereas the use of more polar solvents and addition of nucleophilic catalysts (pyridine, triethylamine) shifts the equilibrium toward the ureas. The effect of isocyanate component variation is less pronounced. Ts NH

When optically active amines or isocyanates are used, the reaction proceeds without racemization affording optically active ureas and their derivatives <1994JOC6487, 2000M463, 2001JOC4200>. (c) Experimental techniques and solid-phase synthesis. A series of 1,3-diaryl ureas was conveniently prepared in 80–93% yields by addition of anilines to 2-nitrophenyl isocyanate under microwave irradiation conditions <2003MI425>. An automated solution-phase parallel synthesis approach has been successfully implemented for the preparation of numerous urea libraries. To eliminate the major problem of this approach, time-consuming work-up and purification, a series of scavengers, both small-molecule and on a solid support, has been developed. Thus, excess of an isocyanate could be effectively quenched using a fluoro-tagged primary amine <1999JOC2835>, aminomethyl polystyrene <1998JCS(P1)3127> or microgel-supported tris(2-aminoethyl)amine <2002JCO436> and removed from the reaction medium by simple phase-separation or filtration, respectively. On the other side, the excess of an amine could be readily removed with fluoroalkyl-substituted isatoic anhydride or isocyanate <2003TL2065>, while the control over the unwanted amine presence could be carried out using ‘‘self-indicating’’ resins with pH-dependent color <2003JCO632>. Lately, solid-phase synthesis has become the major approach to the preparation of urea libraries and several procedures based on either the resin-bound isocyanate <1999TL2749, 1999TL4501, 2002MI81> or the resin-bound amine component <2000JCO710, 2001JCO189, 2001SL697, 2001TL1973, 2002JCO285, 2002OL597, 2002OL4033, 2003TL811> have been developed. m- and p-Ureido-substituted arylboronic acids were readily synthesized in 65–92% yields and with >95% purity via the preliminary deactivation of the acid functionality by condensation of an aminophenylboronic acid with resin-bound diethanolamine followed by treatment of the polymer-supported boronate thus prepared with an isocyanate and mild acidic cleavage from the solid support <2002JOC3>.

(ii) Additions of amines to isocyanates with formation of cyclic ureas (a) Solution-phase reactions. Reactions of isocyanates with amines, bearing a suitably located additional functional group sensitive to nucleophilic attack, are often followed by the intramolecular reactions of the nitrogen atom of the newly formed urea fragment with formation of five- or six-membered cyclic ureas. These ring closure reactions could be further subdivided into substitution and addition reactions, the former being more widely exploited. This isocyanate addition/intramolecular substitution approach generally uses - or -amino acids and esters as amine components, and the ring closure step includes intramolecular acylation of the newly formed urea fragment (e.g., Scheme 3). This procedure is most commonly applied to the preparation of fused polyheterocyclic systems <1993JHC897, 1993S111, 1994CPB2108, 1994JHC77, 1994JHC1569, 1994JOC1583, 1996TL5835, 1997WOP47626, 2002CPB1379, 2002JHC417, 2003JMC113>, but was also used for the synthesis of monocyclic substituted tetrahydropyrimidinediones <2000TL4307>, chiral hydantoins <2003OL2555>, and 5-alkoxyhydantoins <1997JOC3230>.

Intramolecular addition reactions, realized as a second step in one-pot preparation of cyclic ureas, include: (a) addition to a carbonyl group <2003JOC754>; (b) addition to a thiocarbonyl group followed by H2S elimination <2002HAC199>; (c) addition to a carboncarbon double bond of enamines <1998S967>; (d) addition to a carbonnitrogen double bond of imines <1998PHA607, 2001JCS(P1)1241>, isothiocyanates <1993IJC(B)779>, oximes <1999T475>, diazo compounds <2002JMC5448> or methyleneamines, generated in situ by retro-Mannich reaction of hexahydro-1,3,5-triazines <1995JHC995>; (e) addition to a carboncarbon <1995JHC1141> or carbonnitrogen <2000PS(160)141, 2001EJO1695> triple bond. The latter could further be followed by another cyclization reaction <1994AP469> or rearrangement <2001JCS(P1)1241> thus providing access to highly substituted polyheterocyclic systems. (b) Solid-phase synthesis. There are two major approaches to the solid-phase synthesis of heterocycles with a urea fragment. The first is based on the direct construction of the desired heterocyclic ring on the solid support using the isocyanate addition/cyclization procedures, described above for solution-phase synthesis, followed by simple cleavage from the resin. The representative examples of this approach include: preparation of quinazoline-2,4-diones from resin-bound 2-aminobenzoates <1996TL4439>, 1,3-disubstituted uracils <2000TL1487> and 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones <2002JCO484> from -amino esters, 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones from resin-bound guanidines <2001JCO278>, and trisubstituted triazinobenzimidazolediones from polymer-supported 2-iminobenzimidazoles <2002JCO345>. In the second approach, the acyclic urea fragment is constructed while on a solid support. The subsequent cleavage from the resin releases a reactive functional group (most commonly, carboxylic group), which intramolecularly reacts with the nitrogen atom of the urea unit affording the corresponding cyclic ureas. This approach was successfully used for synthesis of functionalized hydantoins <1996TL5835, 1997TL4603, 1998MI129, 1999TL5841, 2000TL7409, 2001TL1973>, spiro-hydantoins <2001JCO171>, tetrahydrouracils <1998MI139>, and 1,2,4-trisubstituted urazoles <2002JCO491>.

(iii) Self-condensation and cycloaddition reactions of isocyanates (a) Dimerization and trimerization reactions. Catalytic cyclodimerization and cyclotrimerization reactions of isocyanates with formation of symmetrical 1,3-diazetidine-2,4-diones 11 or isocyanurates 12, respectively, are well known (Scheme 5). The direction of the cyclocondensation depends predominantly on the catalyst and the reaction conditions used.

A wide variety of catalysts for high-yielding trimerization of isocyanates includes fluoride salts <1993JOC1932>, tricyclic proazaphosphatrane and its derivatives <1993AG(E)896, 1994JOC4931>, potassium or sodium piperidinedithiocarbamate under conventional or microwave heating <2000JCR(S)145>, sodium p-toluenesulfinate <2002BCJ851>, trialkyl amines <1994NKK146>, tetrasulfido tin complexes <1999OM4700>, and transition metal complexes e.g., CpCo(PPh3)Me2, in supercritical carbon dioxide <2001JOM(626)227>. Even minor changes in the catalyst composition can affect the product distribution: thus, self-condensation of PhNCO in the presence of the oxoniobocene complex [Cp*2Nb(O)OMe] resulted in exclusive formation of triphenyl isocyanurate, whereas the [Cp*2Nb(O)H]-catalyzed reaction gave a mixture of dimerization and trimerization products with the former predominating <2001JOM(634)47>. The exclusive or predominant formation of 1,3-diazetidine-2,4-diones 11 occurs either on heating without a catalyst <2001JOU1747> or under catalysis with pyridine or 2- or 4-picolines under high pressure <1994NKK146>. In the latter case, the selectivity of the dimerization increases with the increase in pressure or in amount of the pyridine catalyst, whereas polar solvents, such as acetonitrile, favor the trimeric product. The predominant dimerization of phenyl isocyanate was also observed when 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-5-ene (DBU) was used as a catalyst <1994JOC4931>. The reaction of tungsten hexachloride with excess of ethyl isocyanate in dichloroethane led to insertion of three isocyanate molecules into one of the tungstenchlorine bonds furnishing the tungsten complex WCl4[(EtNCO)3Cl], which on hydrolysis gave isocyanurate 12 (R = Et) <2002MI673>. Self-condensation of isocyanates under aqueous (aq.) basic conditions affords acyclic symmetrical ureas. Thus, heating 3-alkoxyphenyl isocyanates in aq. NaOH gave the corresponding N,N0 -bis(3-alkoxyphenyl)ureas in 72–83% yields <1994CCC495>. Aromatic isocyanates were readily converted into symmetrical 1,3-diaryl ureas in 85–95% yields in aq. pyridine at 20 C <1999S1907>. (b) Other cycloaddition reactions of isocyanates. SbCl5-Catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isocyanates with -chloro-substituted azo compound 13 afforded the corresponding triazolonium hexachloroantimonates 14 in moderate yields (Equation (2)) (where TMSNCO indicates trimethylsilyl isocyanate) <1993T9973>, whereas 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isoquinolinium arylimides, generated in situ from N-(arylamino)isoquinolinium halides, gave the corresponding triazoloisoquinolones in 87–99% yields <1998EJO379>.

A similar azetidine ring opening/isocyanate cycloaddition of 2-vinyl azetidines under palladium catalysis <2001SL914> or of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.0]hex-5-enes <2003JOC1626> afforded the corresponding vinylic or azetidine-fused tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones in moderate to excellent yields. Chiral 2-alkenyl dihydrooxazoles 17 (X = O) react with 2 equiv. of aryl and arylsulfonyl isocyanates to give nonracemic dihydropyrimidone derivatives 18 (Scheme 6) via asymmetric hetero-Diels–Alder reaction followed by the addition of a second molecule of the isocyanate to the cycloadduct <1997CC2311>. The thia analogs 18 (X = S) were obtained in the similar reactions of 17 (X = S) with tosyl isocyanate; however, cycloaddition with less reactive phenyl isocyanate afforded 1:1 adduct 19 as the sole product <1999SL1379>.

[2+2+2]-Cycloadditions of N-trimethylsilyl imine 20 with various isocyanates afforded unsymmetrical 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones 21 (Scheme 7) in 75–96% yields <1995S1529>. Importantly, two different isocyanates could be added stepwise allowing for introduction of different substituents on N-1 and N-3 atoms of the cycloadducts. Analogous [2+2+2]-cycloaddition of 3-aryl-3,4-dihydroquinazolines with 2 equiv. of phenyl isocyanate gave the corresponding quinazolinotriazinediones <2000EJO2105>. CH2OTBDMS

Conjugated heteroarylvinyl iminophosphoranes react with alkyl or phenyl isocyanates via the azaWittig-type reaction and formation of carbodiimide intermediates to afford heteroarylmethylidenesubstituted imidazoline-2,4-diones in moderate yields <1994JOC6413>. A similar approach was used for the solid-phase synthesis of 2-imino-4-oxo-1,3,5-triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazoles from resin-bound 2-benzimidazolyl iminophosphoranes <2003JCO155>.

When the amine component has a suitably located carbonyl group, the latter undergoes intramolecular condensation with the newly formed urea fragment <2002JOC5527, 2003JOC754>.

Treatment of acyl or sulfenyl chlorides with silver cyanate in ether or aromatic solvents is a convenient approach to in situ generation of isocyanates which are unstable and/or not readily available. The subsequent addition of amines <1995TL6257>, N-alkoxyamines <1995JHC1625>, or hydrazines <1995PHA379> allows for the preparation of the corresponding functionalized ureas and sulfenyl carbazides.

6.16.1.1.3

Carbonylation of amines

A convenient approach to the conversion of primary and secondary amines into symmetrical ureas is the catalytic oxidative carbonylation of the amines with CO/O2 (Equation (6)). A wide variety of catalysts has been found effective for this reaction, including selenium compounds <2000MI355, 2000USP6127575>, manganese-based catalysts <1993JCA631>, resin-immobilized gold <2002JCA548>, Pd/H2SO4-modified ZrO2 <2001TL2161>, sulfur <1993HAC455>, polymersupported palladiumcopper catalyst <2000MI55>, PdI2/KI catalytic system <2003CC486>, and palladium methoxycarbonyl complexes in the presence of CuCl2 <1994JOM(470)249>. Electrocatalysis has also been applied <2001MI799>. Primary aromatic amines and secondary aliphatic amines are generally less reactive than primary alkylamines, allowing for the preparation of unsymmetrical ureas by oxidative carbonylation of primary alkylamines in the presence of excess of a less reactive amine <2001TL2161, 2003CC486>.

Instead of oxygen, iodine could be used as an oxidant. Thus, tungsten-catalyzed carbonylation of aliphatic primary and secondary amines and diamines in the presence of iodine furnished a series of acyclic <2000JMOC(A)11, 2000JOC5216> and cyclic ureas <1999OL961, 2002JOC4086, 2003JOC1615>. This reaction is compatible with acid-sensitive and fluoride-sensitive functional groups. A nitroarene, such as 3-(trifluoromethyl)nitrobenzene, was also used as an oxidant for Se-mediated conversion of primary alkylamines into symmetrical 1,3-dialkyl ureas <1995JGU88>. The ability of carbon monoxide to reduce nitroarenes to the corresponding anilines has been exploited in the preparation of 1,3-diaryl- <1993USP5198582, 2002JCA255, 2003JMOC(A)135> and 1-aryl-3-cycloalkyl ureas <2003JMOC(A)135>. Selenium is the most common catalyst for this process, although a polymer-supported rhodium catalyst has also been applied <2002JCA255>. In these reactions the nitro compound acts as both the reagent and an oxidant. The use of toxic carbon monoxide could be avoided by replacing it with CO2. Thus, 1,3-dialkyl ureas and 2-imidazolinones were successfully prepared from the corresponding amines or diamines and CO2 at 80 C using the Ph3SbO/P4S10 catalytic system <1992JOC7339>. Trisubstituted ureas were also synthesized under these conditions in moderate yields, but the attempts to prepare a tetrasubstituted urea, other than tetramethylurea, failed. This shortcoming was later overcome by carrying out the reaction in the presence of carbon tetrachloride and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene <2002JOC9070>. Purging CO2 into a mixture of a primary aromatic amine and DBU in pyridine or tetrahydrofuran (THF) followed by addition of the trimethylamine–sulfur trioxide complex as a dehydrating agent gave the corresponding 1,3-diaryl ureas in 23–87% yields <1995SC2467>. The analogous reaction of ammonia with carbon dioxide with removal of water using water-selective membranes allowed for the large-scale preparation of unsubstituted urea <2001WOP04085>. Heating primary aromatic or aliphatic amines with ethyl acetoacetate at 180 C in the presence of the commercially available zeolite, HSZ-360, led to carbonylative dimerization of the amines affording symmetrical 1,3-diaryl or 1,3-dialkyl ureas as the sole reaction products <1998CC513, 1999JOC1004>. The reaction presumably occurs via the intermediate formation of the corresponding acetoacetamide, which undergoes CC bond cleavage on further reaction with an amine.

More useful, however, is the synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas by consecutive treatment of phosgene with two different amines with in situ formation of an isocyanate intermediate. A combination of two aromatic amines <2002WOP83642>, two amino acids <2001OL2313>, or an aromatic or heterocyclic amine and O-alkyl hydroxylamine <1996TL2361, 2000CCA569> were all successfully used. 14C-Labeled phenylureas bearing photoactive azido and diazine groups were also prepared by this procedure <1993MI655>.

In contrast, treatment of O,O0 -polyoxyethylene bis(hydroxylamine) with N-carbazolylcarbonyl chloride gave exclusively the monocarbamoylation product, albeit in a moderate yield <2001SL682>. Carbamoylation of pyridines affords the corresponding N-carbamoylpyridinium halides <1996EUP692473>; however, when -chloroformyl arylhydrazines 24 are used as the reactants, further attack of the free amino group at the 2-position of the pyridine ring occurs to afford [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-3-ones 25 (Equation (9)) <2001MI1135>. The analogous cyclization reaction was observed with isoquinoline and pyridazine <2002MI239>. Pyrimidine, however, was unreactive under the reaction conditions, whereas 1,3,5-triazine, thiazole, and 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine underwent ring opening of the original heterocycle to afford functionalized 2,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones in good yields.

Aminolysis of carbamates (Equation (11)) usually requires the presence of a base (triethylamine, DBU, NaHCO3, etc.) and, when necessary, can be promoted by addition of chlorosilanes <1998JOC8515, 2000JOC3239> or by heating over -Al2O3 <2000TL6347>.

The groups sensitive to the transformation include some amino protecting groups, such as N-benzoate <2000MI405> and N-phenoxycarboxylate <1992JOC5020>. The carbamate aminolysis has also been applied to the solid-phase preparation of N-carbamoyl dihydroquinolinones <2000SL45>, N-carbamoyl guanidines <1999JCO361>, oligoureas <2000TL1553>, and libraries of di- and trisubstituted ureas <1998JOC4802, 2002MI81>. On treatment with amines, cyclic carbamates, such as 2-oxazolidinones <1996TL1217> or 1H-thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine-2,4-diones <1998T10789>, undergo aminative ring opening to afford hydroxy- or carboxy-functionalized ureas, respectively. When a reactive amino or imino function is already present in the carbamate or activated in situ by deprotection, the intramolecular carbamoylation can occur allowing for access to variously substituted hydantoins <1997TL2065, 1998CC2703, 2000T3697>, optically active polycyclic ureas <1996T8581>, triazinediones <2002HCO123>, and fused tetrazinones <2002JCS(P1)1877>. Cyclic ureas could also be prepared by intermolecular carbamoylation if the carbamate and/ or amine component have additional reactive functional groups. Thus, hydantoins 29 (Equation (12)) and their dehydro derivatives were prepared by condensation of N-BOC amines 28 having the

Cyclocondensation of ,-unsaturated -amino acids or their esters with carbamates afforded uracil derivatives <1995JAP(K)0761975, 1998USP5817814>, whereas the reaction of dihydrobenzodiazepinethione with ethyl carbazate gave fused triazolobenzodiazepinones in moderate yields <2003JMC3758>. Pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]triazinones were prepared via the analogous cyclocondensation of 5-acylpyrazolyl-1-carboxylates with phenylhydrazine <2002JOU602>. R1 R R2

Aminolysis of S-methyl alkylthiocarbamates with primary or secondary alkyl and cycloalkyl amines in acetonitrile <1998TL3609>, or with primary sulfonamides in toluene in the presence of DBU <2000SC3081>, gave the corresponding ureas and sulfonylureas in 60–89% yields without racemization. Although benzamide and thiobenzamide were unreactive under these conditions, aryl-substituted ureas were prepared in 81–100% yields by treatment of thiocarbamates with generated in situ aniline carbanions <2000SC1675>. Aminolysis of S-allyl N-acylthiocarbamates with a variety of amines in benzene-water twophase system <1993CCC575> or with phenylhydrazine in benzene <1993MI64> afforded the corresponding acyl ureas and acyl semicarbazides, respectively. Thermolysis of N-aryl carbamates at 230–240 C produces the corresponding symmetrical 1,3-diarylureas in 42–97% yields <1994RRC397>.

(v) Reactions of amines with ureas (a) Preparation of acyclic ureas via disubstitution of symmetric ureas with amines. Microwave irradiation of a mixture of an aromatic amine or phenylhydrazine with unsubstituted urea afforded the corresponding symmetrical ureas in moderate-to-good yields (Equation (13)) <1999JCR(S)710>. The addition of a suitable energy-transfer solvent, such as N,N-dimethyl acetamide, to the reaction mixture resulted in significant improvement in the product yields <2000MI24>. Primary aliphatic amines <2000MI24> and 2-aminopyridines <2001HCO233> reacted in a similar manner. O RNH2

However, of all the symmetrical ureas, commercially available, easily handled, crystalline N,N0 -carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) is the most widely used as a phosgene equivalent. Significantly lower reactivity of an N-carbamoylimidazole, formed after substitution of one imidazolyl group with an amine, compared to CDI itself allows one to carry out the disubstitution consecutively using two different amines or their analogs. This approach was applied in the solution-phase synthesis of optically active dipeptides <1997TL5335, 2002JA9356>, N-carbamoyltetrahydropapaverines <2002CPB1223> and 4-hydroxysemicarbazides <2000HCO55, 2002HCO321>, and in the solid-phase synthesis of unsymmetrical polyfunctional 1,3-diaryl ureas <1997BOC277>. Although N-carbamoyl imidazoles, formed from secondary amines and CDI, were found to be unreactive toward coupling with secondary amines, these intermediates could be activated by their conversion into the corresponding imidazolium salts <1998TL6267>, thus making this approach suitable for the preparation of tetrasubstituted ureas.

465

Functions Containing a Carbonyl Group and Two Heteroatoms

Instead of CDI, 1,10 -carbonylbis(benzotriazole) was used for preparation of tetrasubstituted ureas (no activation is required in this case) <1997JOC4155> and for solution- and solid-phase synthesis of dipeptides <1998TL7811>. (b) Preparation of acyclic ureas via monosubstitution of ureas with amines. Condensation of unsubstituted urea with a sterically hindered secondary amine in a strongly acidic medium <2000CHE837> or with a heteroaromatic amine, such as pyrazole, under thermal conditions <1992EUP508191> results in substitution of only one of the urea amino groups providing products of the general formula R1R2NCONH2. On treatment of N-phenylurea with a variety of amines, the unsubstituted amino group of the urea is cleaved, thus allowing access to a series of 1,3-di- and trisubstituted ureas <1992M607, 1995GEP4405056>. The same products could be prepared by reaction of 1,3-diphenylurea with amines <1993OPP600>. Analogously to the second step of the CDI aminolysis, reaction of independently prepared N-carbamoyl imidazoles with amines leads to the substitution of the imidazolyl moiety with the amino group <1994WOP06825>. Similarly, heating resin-bound 1-carbamoyl-1,2,3-benzotriazole with primary or secondary amines results in the nucleophilic displacement of the benzotriazole moiety releasing the newly formed unsymmetrical urea in the solution <2001JCO354>. (c) Preparation of cyclic ureas. The most widely used procedure for the preparation of cyclic ureas via the substitution pathway is the condensation of urea or its derivatives with diamines. Unsubstituted urea or CDI are generally used as phosgene equivalents. This approach was applied to the preparation of 2-imidazolidinones <1993T4419>, 2-benzimidazolones <2002JCO320>, tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones <2002HCA1999>, hexahydroazepin-2-ones <1996USP5508400, 2002OL4673>, hexahydro-1,3,6-triazocin-2-one <1995EUP670316>, and macrocyclic ureas <1993USP5206362>. A series of functionalized hydantoins were synthesized from the corresponding resin-bound 1,2-diamines <1997TL931, 2001JCO68, 2002JCO175>. Instead of two amino groups, their analogs, such as amide <1993TL7953>, hydrazine <1999HCO473, 2001JHC1097>, or amidrazone <2002JMC2942> moieties, can participate in the reaction. If a second amine, used for the double aminolysis of CDI, features a suitably located carboxylic group, the in situ intramolecular cyclization of the newly formed urea can occur giving, for example, fused imidazolidinediones <1994JHC1235, 2002JHC417>. The similar intramolecular cyclization after formation of the urea fragment was used for solution-phase <2000TL1159> and solid-phase <2000TL1165> synthesis of 3-aminohydantoins and 3-aminodihydrouracils.

(vi) Reactions of amines with carbonates and thiocarbonates (a) Preparation of acyclic ureas. Similarly to reactions of ureas with amines, aminolysis of carbonates (Scheme 9) could be carried out by consecutive introduction of two different amines or their analogs allowing for access to unsymmetrical ureas and their derivatives.

Bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate, or triphosgene, is the most widely exploited. Using the coupling reaction with triphosgene, ureas derived from two different amino acids <1994JOC1937, 1999TL2895>, as well as 1-aryl-3,3-dialkyl ureas <1998JCR(S)442>, glucopyranosylureas <2001JOC4200>, -ureido alkylphosphonates <2000PS(160)51, 2001JCR(S)470, 2001HAC68>, carborane-substituted ureas <2000TL7065, 2001TL5913, 2002JOM(657)48>, ureapeptoid peptidomimetics <1997TL5335>, and urea-functionalized porphyrins <1998JOC2424> were all successfully prepared. This approach has also been applied to the solution-phase synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted ureas from polyethylene glycol-bound amines <2001BMCL271> and to solid-phase synthesis of peptide C-terminal semicarbazones <1999TL6121>.

466

Functions Containing a Carbonyl Group and Two Heteroatoms

Other symmetrical carbonates, such as dimethyl carbonate <2002GC269>, diphenyl carbonate <2001JAP(K)302640>, cyclic ethylene carbonate <1998EUP846679> and bis(1-cyclohexenyl) carbonate <1995JAP(K)06239805>, as well as unsymmetrical diaryl carbonates <1996SC331> were also used. Nitrophenyl carbonates were applied in the solid-phase synthesis of various ureas <1998TL3631> and azapeptides <2000TL3983>. Although di(t-butyl) carbonate is known to react with amines directly to give N-BOC-protected derivatives, under catalysis with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) it reacts with a second equivalent of an amine to give the corresponding ureas. This procedure was successfully applied to primary aromatic <1996SL502, 2000JOC6368>, primary aliphatic amines and resin-bound anilines <1999TL8563>; however, with secondary amines only N-BOC protection was observed <2000JOC6368>. The condensation of primary alkylamines with S,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate in methanol or without solvent at 60 C gave 1,3-dialkyl ureas <1996JOC4175>. Aromatic and sterically hindered alkylamines are unreactive, whereas dialkylamines give only monosubstituted products i.e., thiocarbamates. (b) Preparation of cyclic ureas. Condensation of carbonates with diamines leads to the formation of cyclic ureas if the diamine structure allows for nonconstrained ring closure. This procedure has been used for the preparation of benzimidazolones in solution <2001JCA91> and on the solid support <1998TL179>, quinazoline-2,4-diones <2002M1067>, and macrocyclic carborane-substituted ureas <2001TL5913>. Low-valent titanium-induced carbonylative dimerization of aryl imines in the presence of triphosgene gave substituted imidazolin-2-ones <2002SC2613>, which were also prepared via DMAP-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of 1,2-diamines with BOC2O <2000JOC6368>. Condensation of S,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate with appropriate diamines afforded a series of imidazolin-2-ones, tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones, and 2-quinazolinone in moderate to good yields <1996JOC4175>.

6.16.1.1.5

Oxidation of thioureas and related compounds

Both acyclic and cyclic thioureas were readily converted into the corresponding ureas (Equation (14)) on treatment with bismuth nitrate pentahydrate in acetonitrile at reflux <2003TL591> or in phosphate buffer at 20 C <2000MI285>. The reaction is chemoselective: although thioamides are also oxidized, thiono esters and thioketones are essentially unreactive. Inexpensive, stable, and commercially available Oxone could also be used as an oxidant <2003PS(178)61>; however, in this case the excess of the reagent is required and a poorer chemoselectivity is observed.

Oxidation of 1,3-di- and trisubstituted thioureas was also carried out using sodium metaperiodate, sodium chlorite, and ammonium persulfate in water <1997SC2357>, whereas N-aroyl ureas were prepared via the oxidation of thioureas with bromine in chloroform (Hugershoff reaction) <1994CCC2663>. Potassium iodate (KIO3) was found to be a convenient reagent for the preparation of N-aroyl ureas <2000SC2635>, N-acylated bis(urea)s <2002SC3373>, and N,N0 -diacyl semicarbazides <2000SC3405, 2000SC4543, 2001SC1433> from the corresponding thiocarbonyl analogs. Trisubstituted glucopyranosyl thioureas were readily oxidized with excess of yellow HgO <2002TL4313>; the disubstituted analogs, however, gave exclusively bicyclic isoureas. There are few procedures specific for oxidation of cyclic thioureas. These include oxidation with mercury(II) acetate, used for the preparation of 1,3-diacylimidazolidin-2-ones <1993T4419>, and oxidation with 30% hydrogen peroxide in aq. NaOH, used in synthesis of six-membered cyclic ureas <1994JHC1569, 1999JHC1327>. Tetrazolinethiones were oxidized to tetrazolinones using unsubstituted oxirane or 2-alkyl epoxides as oxidants <1995EUP643049>.

6.16.1.1.6

Reactions of amines with amides and other carboxylic acid derivatives

Ruthenium-catalyzed carbamoylation of dialkylamines <1992USP5155267> or primary aromatic amines <1997OM2562> with formanilides at 165 C give the corresponding unsymmetrical diand trisubstituted ureas in high yields. For reaction with anilines, unsubstituted formamide could

467

Functions Containing a Carbonyl Group and Two Heteroatoms

also be used. Although simple alkyl and cycloalkyl amides are unreactive, -polychloro- or -polynitro-substituted aliphatic amides readily undergo -elimination to give intermediate isocyanates, which on trapping with ammonia or primary amines afford mono- and disubstituted ureas, respectively (Scheme 10) <1992BAU891, 1994BAU821, 1994CL2299, 1994OPP357, 1999TL3235>.

Curtius rearrangement of acyl azides also produces the intermediate isocyanates as urea precursors. The starting acyl azides are usually generated in situ by one of the following methods: (i) reaction of a carboxylic acid with diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of a base <2001MI133, 2002MI109, 2002T4225>; (ii) from acyl chlorides and sodium azide <1999S943, 2000JHC1247>; or (iii) oxidation of acyl hydrazides with HNO2 <1998JCS(P1)2377>. This approach has also been applied to the synthesis of N,N0 -disubstituted ureas from heterocyclic and aliphatic carboxylic acids and resin-bound amines <2000OL3309>.

6.16.1.1.7

Miscellaneous reactions

(i) From carbodiimides Hydrolysis of carbodiimides produces the corresponding ureas <2000CAR161>, whereas their heterocyclization with diaryl nitrones <1998SC3665> or 2-(bromomethyl)acrylic acid <1996JHC1259> yields polysubstituted 1,2,4-triazolin-3-ones and 5-methylidenetetrahydropyrimidine-2,4-diones, respectively.

(ii) Heterocycle ring–ring interconversions Variously substituted 1,2,4-triazol-3-ones were prepared by ring opening/recyclization of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles <2002JCR(S)213> or 5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (Equation (15)) <1996JOC8397> in the presence of a primary amine. The rearrangement of arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, however, occurs differently with formation of ureidosubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles <2002JOC8010>. Ph

Heating 3-(2-oxopropyl)benzothiazol-2-ones with excess of a primary amine in HClO4 affords 1-(2-mercaptoaryl)imidazolin-2-ones, readily oxidizable in air to the corresponding disulfides <2000PS(158)67>. Oxidative rearrangement of 3-arylimino-2-indolinones occurs with the ring expansion to give quinazoline-2,4-diones <2000TL5265>.

(iii) Oxidation Purines and xanthines are readily oxidized to the corresponding 8-oxo derivatives with dimethyldioxirane <1995TL2665> or bacteria <1999JCS(P1)677>, whereas oxidation of benzimidazolium salts and their N,N0 -polymethylene-bridged analogs in air affords the relevant benzimidazolones

in high yields <1994TL33, 1995TL2741>. Treatment of amidines with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene yields either 1,3-disubstituted ureas or trisubstituted acylureas depending on the reaction conditions <1997JCS(P1)2319>.

6.16.1.1.8

Preparation of carbamoyl azides

The early review on carbamoyl azides <1965CRV377> indicated three preparation methods, which are still the ones most commonly used: (a) reaction of carbamoyl chlorides with sodium azide; (b) addition of hydrazoic acids to isocyanates; and (c) oxidation of semicarbazides with HNO2. Since this review, only few reports on synthesis of the title compounds have appeared. The reaction of carbamoyl chlorides with sodium azide usually occurs under very mild conditions (aq. acetone, 0–20 C) with carbamoyl chlorides being used as such <1987GEP252824> or prepared in situ from the corresponding amine and phosgene <1995JOC321>. Treatment of chloroformyl <1985JOU1436> and -chloroalkyl isocyanates <1976JOU1140> with excess of hydrazoic acid resulted in both addition to the isocyanate moiety and substitution of the chlorine atom with the azido group affording the corresponding diazido compounds, whereas with -chloro-functionalized isocyanates no substitution reaction was observed <1985RRC317>. The isocyanate reactant can also be generated in situ by addition of hydrazoic acid to acyl ketenes accompanied by nitrogen elimination <1981JOC147, 1981JOC153> or by Curtius rearrangement of acyl azides <1986JHC1103, 1990JOC5017>. Instead of unstable hydrazoic acid, its derivatives, such as trimethylsilyl azide <1980JOC5130> or triarylbismuth diazides <1992JCR(S)34> could be used; however, in these reactions the mixtures of products are usually obtained with the product distribution depending on the reaction conditions. Other methods for synthesis of carbamoyl azides include oxidation of aldehydes with pyridinium chloroformate in the presence of sodium azide <1988SC545> and reaction of carboxylic acids with the Vilsmeier salt followed by treatment with sodium azide <1994TL2729>. The latter approach is high-yielding and applicable to the preparation of a wide variety of carbamoyl azides, including optically active substrates.

Carbonyl Derivatives with One Nitrogen and One P, As, Sb or Bi Function Carbonyl derivatives with one nitrogen and one phosphorus(III) function

The most common procedure for the preparation of carbamoyl phosphines is based on the phosphine addition to alkyl or aryl isocyanates (Equation (16)) <1995COFGT(6)499>. The reaction is tolerant to the presence of thiol <1973JPR471>, alkylthio <1988JGU1310>, and keto <1970JPR366> groups, and is applicable both to secondary and primary phosphines. In the latter case, however, double carbamoylation of the phosphine occurs <1988JGU28>, even for sterically hindered phosphines. R1 P H R2

The bulky analog of PH3, tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine (tris(TMS)phosphine), gives with isopropyl isocyanate exclusively 1:1 adduct 30, which exists in equilibrium with its (siloxy)imine tautomer 31 (Equation (17)) <1989AG(E)53>. Under mild conditions, isocyanates readily insert into the ZrP bond of PH-functionalized zirconocene complexes 32 to afford the corresponding (phosphinoamidato)zirconocenes 33 in 81–85% yields (Equation (18)). The presence of a bulky ligand, such as R1 = 5-C5EtMe4, favors the formation of complexes 33 exclusively as endoisomers (shown), whereas products 33 with less sterically hindered ligands e.g., R1 = 5C5MeH4, were formed as mixtures of endo- and exo-isomers, with exo-isomers predominating <2000OM2445>. To our knowledge, up to the early 2000s, this reaction represents the only procedure for the preparation of a secondary carbamoyl phosphine in acceptable yields.

Another approach to the synthesis of tertiary carbamoyl phosphines, not including the reaction with isocyanates, is based on carbamoylation of secondary phosphines with carbamoyl chlorides.

Phenylcarbamoyl phosphine 40 was obtained as the major product of hydrolysis of azaphosphaallene 39 (Equation (20)) <1990BCJ2736>. However, the hydrolysis pathway depends dramatically on the nitrogen substituent: for example, replacement of the phenyl group on the nitrogen atom of 39 with a sterically hindered substituent, e.g., t-butyl, results in nucleophilic attack at the phosphorus atom rather than at the carbon, giving quite different sets of products.

Carbonyl derivatives with one nitrogen and one phosphorus(V) function

As in the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphines (Equation (16)), addition to isocyanates is the most common procedure for the preparation of phosphorus(V)-bearing carbamoyl compounds. As phosphorus reagents, both phosphine oxides <1983JHC331, 1991JGU622, 1995COFGT(6)499,

470

1996SC783, 2002HAC63> and trimethylsilylated phosphites (Equation (21)) <1987JMC1603, 1990T7175, 1995COFGT(6)499> can be utilized. The latter reaction was also applied to the synthesis of chiral phosphorus dipeptides <1987JMC1603>. The isocyanate addition can be followed by intramolecular heterocyclization to afford the corresponding phosphaazaheterocycles <1995TL2021>. Diphosphanyl ketimine oxide 41 serves as a 1,3-dipole in [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction with phenyl isocyanate resulting in formation of azaphospholene 42 in 75% yield (Equation (22)) <2002CEJ3872>. The second, also widely used, approach is the substitution reaction of alkoxycarbonyl or alkylthiocarbonyl phosphine oxides and phosphonates with nitrogen nucleophiles (Equation (23)). The reaction proceeds smoothly with ammonia <1986JMC1389, 1995COFGT(6)499>, primary amines <1988JGU26, 1998SL1325>, amino acids <1998SL1325> and diamines <2000HAC470>, and even with hydroxylamines <1997JOC3858>, although in the latter case the reaction has to be carried out in pyridine to avoid formation of the Lossen rearrangement product. A variety of functional groups, such as alcohols, esters, or amides, is tolerated. EtO

The data on secondary carbamoyl arsines are essentially limited to the single early article <1967LA248>, already reviewed <1995COFGT(6)499>, which reported the preparation of these compounds via Sn-catalyzed addition of alkyl, cycloalkyl, and aryl arsines or their lithium derivatives to phenyl or cyclohexyl isocyanates.

The heterocycle 46, which could be considered as pyridine-fused cyclic carbamoyl arsine, existing, however, exclusively in the hydroxy form shown (Scheme 12), was prepared in a low yield by treatment of zwitterionic pyridooxadiazole 45 with tris(trimethylsilyl)arsine followed by hydrolysis <1988TL3387>.

A single article, dealing with this class of compounds, reported the formation of quaternary carbamoyl bismuthanes on treatment of dimethylformamide-BiCl3 adduct with tertiary amines <1995COFGT(6)499>. To our knowledge, no more data on such compounds has appeared in the literature since.

Carbonyl Derivatives with One Nitrogen and One Metalloid (B, Si, Ge) Function Carbonyl derivatives with one nitrogen and one boron function

Carbamoyl boranes are generally prepared as adducts with tertiary amines, such as trialkyl amines, pyridine, or quinuclidine, via two synthetic approaches based either on amidation of amine-carboxyborane adducts or on hydrolysis of amine-cyanoboranes. Thus, direct coupling of trimethylamine-carboxyborane 47 with primary or secondary aliphatic or primary aromatic amines in the presence of the peptide-condensing agent dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) gave the corresponding carbamoylborane adducts 48 in moderate yields (Equation (25)) <1987JCR(S)368, 1990BCJ3658, 1995COFGT(6)499>. A similar procedure was applied to the synthesis of the boron analog of hydroxamic acid using hydroxylamine hydrochloride in water instead of an amine <1988IC302>. Me3N . BH2COOH

Both unsubstituted (R = H) <1990IC554, 1990IC3218, 1991T6915> and monosubstituted (R = Me, i-Pr, i-Bu, s-Bu, Bn) cyanoboranes <1989CC900, 1989IS79, 1991IC1046> could be used, whereas the second component (A) of the adduct could be a tertiary amine <1989CC900, 1990IC554, 1991IC1046>, triethyl phosphite <1991T6915>, or phosphonate <1990IC3218>. The similar treatment of amine-dicyanoborane adduct afforded amine-bis(carbamoyl)boranes <1997CC1799>. Limitation of the above method to the preparation of ethylcarbamoyl boranes due to exclusive application of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate triggered a search for other synthetic procedures, which up to the early 2000s have been represented by single examples. Thus, addition of SbCl5 to Me3NBH2CN followed by treatment with t-butyl chloride and basic hydrolysis gives t-butylcarbamoyl borane adduct <1994POL2599>. Cyanation of diboratacyclohexane 50 with isonitrile 51 resulted in formation of the bridged salt product, which on hydrolysis with aq.

6.16.1.3.2

Carbonyl derivatives with one nitrogen function and one silicon function (carbamoyl silanes)

Since the early report on the preparation of the first thermally stable carbamoyl silane Me3SiCONEt2 by silylation of dicarbamoyl mercury with hexamethyldisilathiane <1995COFGT(6)499>, several approaches to the construction of the NCOSi link have been developed, most of which, however, are applicable exclusively to tertiary carbamoyl silanes and suffer from severe limitations. Up to the early 2000s unstable secondary carbamoyl silanes have been prepared only by hydrosilylation of isocyanates either with t-BuPh2Li at 50 C <1983T2989> or with Et3SiH in the presence of PdCl2 <1977JOM(140)97>. Tertiary carbamoyl silanes 56, bearing a sterically hindered aryl group at the nitrogen atom, have been prepared, albeit in low yields, via carbonylation of lithiated silyl amides 55, generated in situ from the corresponding anilines and chlorosilanes, accompanied by 1,2-Si rearrangement (Scheme 15) <1994OM1533>.

Silanes 56 could also be synthesized by sequential introduction of the carbonyl and trimethylsilyl group via carbonylation of mixed cuprates followed by silylation with a chlorosilane <1994JOM(474)23>. Lithiation/silylation of formamide HCON(Me)CH2OMe afforded the corresponding carbamoyl silane Me3SiCON(Me)CH2OMe 57 in 61% yield <2001TL1423>. Although only the trimethylsilyl (TMS) group could be directly introduced by this procedure, a series of carbamoyl silanes were prepared via silyl group exchange by treatment of 57 with chlorosilanes at 145 C in the presence of CsF. Although the synthesis of carbamoyl silanes by silylation of carbamoyl chlorides seems obvious, the preparation of silanes (TMS)3SiC(O)NR2 (R = Me, Ph) from carbamoyl chlorides R2NCOCl and (TMS)3SiLi(THF)3 still represent the only example of such a transformation <1991JOM(403)293>. Carbonylation of Cp*Cl3TaSiMe3 with limited quantities of CO followed by addition of pyridine or 2,6-dimethylpyridine gives the stable Ta-carbamoyl silane complex e.g., 58 (Figure 2), bearing a quaternary nitrogen atom <1989JA149>.

6.16.1.3.3

Carbonyl derivatives with one nitrogen and one germanium function (carbamoyl germanes)

In contrast to the silicon analogs, only one example of synthesis of carbamoyl germanes using trialkylgermyl chloride has been reported up to the early 2000s <1971AG(E)339>. All the other known procedures use Et3GeLi as the germanium-introducing reagent. Thus, reaction of Et3GeLi with CF3C(O)NEt2 <1983JOM(248)51> or Me3SiCCC(O)NMe2 <1984BAU1733> under thermodynamic control conditions afforded carbamoyl germanes Et3GeC(O)NEt2 (56%) and Et3GeC(O)NMe2 (45%), respectively. The scope of the carbamoyl group-delivering reagents has been extended to carbamates (Equation (26)) <1990POL227>. Me2NCOCl could also be used in this reaction as a carbamoylating reagent; however, in this case only 0.25 equiv. of the aluminum alkoxide should be employed due to its rate-inhibiting effect. O

Carbonyl Derivatives with One Nitrogen and One Metal Function Carbon monoxide insertion reactions

One of the most widely used methods for the preparation of carbamoyl metal complexes is based on the insertion of the carbon monoxide molecule into an already existing nitrogenmetal bond (Equation (27)). The examples of organometallic compounds involved in the transformation include: cuprates <1985JOM(297)379>, complexes of nickel <2002CC1840>, iron <1992JA1256>, platinum <1985OM939>, palladium <2000OM1661>, rhodium <1988OM2234, 1992IC379>, iridium <1994OM1751>, ruthenium <1993IC3640, 1999OM187>, rhenium <1998OM131>, molybdenum <1987OM210>, tungsten <1986OM185>, thorium, and uranium <1988CRV1059, 1995COFGT(6)499>. Molybdenum or copper complexes containing more than one metalnitrogen bond, such as Mo(NMe2)4 or lithium bis(amino)cuprates, undergo CO insertion into all these bonds even under mild reaction conditions. In contrast, carbonylation of tungsten complex W2Cl2(NMe2)4 with excess of CO in toluene/pyridine gave exclusively the monoinsertion product in 69% yield <1986OM185>. O (L)n M NR2

6.16.1.4.2

Aminative carbonylation

Another widely used procedure for the preparation of carbamoyl metal compounds is based on the introduction of both carbonyl and amine moieties into the organometallic compound and is generally performed by carbonylation of a metal complex in the presence of a primary or a secondary amine. Although most commonly used in the synthesis of platinum and palladium carbamoyl compounds <1985JOM(296)435, 1987JOM(334)C9, 1990OM2603, 1990OM2612, 2000OM3879, 2002MI267>, this approach has also been applied to the preparation of carbamoyl stannanes <1988JCS(P1)569>, nickel <1985AG(E)325, 1985JOM(281)379>, rhodium <1993OM3410>, ruthenium <1998JOM(563)1>, and iron <2000OM3754> complexes. A modification of this procedure includes carbonylation of metal complexes in the presence of nitrobenzene as an amine precursor <2000OM3754, 2002MI267>; however, this reaction requires significantly higher temperatures (80–160 C) compared to the one using amines (0 C–rt). Indirect aminative carbonylation is represented by the reaction of Ph3PAuCl with methyl isocyanide in aq. KOH, which afforded the unstable carbamoyl gold complex Ph3PAuC(O)NHMe, presumably via hydrolysis of the intermediate isonitrile gold complex <1999IC3494>.

6.16.1.4.3

Amination

Currently, amination of metal carbonyl complexes represents the most common approach to the preparation of metal carbamoyl derivatives and has been successfully applied to the synthesis of carbamoyl complexes of Re <1988JOM(339)111, 1997JOM(541)423>, Mo <1989IC4414, 1991OM1305, 1997OM5595>, Ir <1992JOM(441)155>, Os <2002JOM(658)147, 2002MI963>, Fe <1991IC1955, 1993OM1725, 1994CB711, 1996JCS(D)4431, 1997HCA121, 1999ZN(B)385, 2000OM15>, Mn <1991JOM(414)65>, Pd <1989OM2065, 1990JOM(383)587>, Ru <1984IC4640, 1986ICA169, 1989JOM(368)103, 1989JOM(379)311, 2001OM3390>, Co <1986OM2259, 1987CB379>, Cr <2001ZN(B)306>, W <1994OM1214, 1999OM748, 2001ZN(B)306>, and Pt <1985OM180, 1988JA7098, 1991OM175>. Both neutral metal complexes (for Mo, Ir, Os, Pt, Mn, Ru, Fe) and cationic complexes (for Fe, Pd, Co, W, Pt, Re) could be used. The reactions can be accompanied by the loss of a nonreacting ligand <2002MI963>. As nitrogen nucleophiles, both primary <1991JOM(414)65, 1992JOM(441)155> and secondary aliphatic amines <1988JA7098, 2002JOM(658)147>, cyclic amines <1988JOM(339)111, 1989JOM(368)103, 1990JOM(383)587>, aryl alkyl amines <1986ICA169>, anilines

<1986OM2259>, amino esters <1999ZN(B)385>, hydrazines <1991IC1955, 1991OM1305> and even N-substituted aziridines (with aziridine ring opening) <1997HCA121>, and N-nitrosoamines <1993OM1725> were applied. An aromatic amine could also be generated in situ from the corresponding nitroarene under reductive conditions <2001OM3390>. In a metal complex with a ligand bearing a suitably located nucleophilic nitrogen atom, intramolecular amination can occur <1990JOM(387)C5, 1996JCS(D)4431>. The outcome of the reaction with diamines is determined by the starting organometallic compound: thus, cationic (OC)5ReFBF3 reacts with both amino groups of diaminoalkanes in a standard fashion affording the corresponding dicarbamoyl-bridged 2:1 complexes <1988JOM(339)111>, whereas monoamination of (OC)5ReOSO2CF3 is followed by intramolecular attack of the second amino group at the central metal atom with formation of the cyclic carbamoylrhenium complex <1997JOM(541)423>. Tetrakis(dimethylamino)methane, C(NMe2)4, has also been used as an efficient dimethylamino group donor for the preparation of Ru <1984IC4640>, Cr and W <2001ZN(B)306> carbamoyl complexes under mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via insertion of one of the carbonyls of the metal carbonyl compound into the CN bond of the tetraaminomethane. A procedure based on a similar mechanism was applied for the preparation of a series of bimetallic complexes. Thus, reaction of carbonyl complexes M(CO)n (M = Fe, n = 5; M = Cr, Mo, W, n = 6) or Mn2(CO)10 with organometallic dimethylamides, such as Al(NMe2)3 <1987JOM(323)149>, Ti(NMe2)4 <1993JOM(456)85>, Zr(NMe2)4 <2000JOM(598)403> or Cp*M0 (NMe2)3 (M0 = Ti, Zr) <1995OM131>, gives the corresponding heterogeneous cluster compounds with M-CO-N fragment.

6.16.1.4.4

Reactions with heterocumulenes (isocyanates, ketenimines, azides, carbodiimides)

Reactions of neutral or cationic metal carbonyl complexes with isocyanates occur under mild conditions (neutral solvents, rt) and result in formation of the corresponding metallacyclic 1:1 adducts with a cycle size depending on the central metal and on the nature and reactivity of the ligands in the original complex. Thus, Cp2W(CO) gave four-membered metallacycles yielded six-membered metallacycle <1987JA2173, 1989JA7424> and Cp2V(CO) <1988JGU2384>, whereas five-membered metallacycles 62 (X = S) were obtained from cationic Fe and Ru complexes 61 and isothiocyanates (Equation (29)) <1998JOM(568)241>. Analogous reactions of the neutral complex (OC)2CpFePH(t-Bu) with isocyanates and isothiocyanates provided 62 [X = O, S; R1 = t-Bu, R2 = R3NHC( = X)] <1998JOM(568)247>. Cp R1 OC M P R2 OC H 61

Potassium cyanate was utilized in the synthesis of five-membered carbamoyl platinacycle <1989G301>. 1,3-Cycloaddition of (5-MeC5H4)Mn(CO)2(THF) or Cp2Mo2(CO)4 with benzyl or aryl azides gave the corresponding binuclear adducts e.g., 63 (Figure 3) <1986OM894, 1987OM2151>. Cluster Os3(CO)11(NCMe) reacted similarly <1987OM2151>, whereas reactions of cobalt and rhenium phosphine complexes CpM(CO)PR3 (M = Rh, R = i-Pr; M = Co, R = Me) occurred via azide degradation followed by [2+1] cycloaddition to give metallaaziridinones 64 (R0 = Ph, Ts) (Figure 3) in 69–79% yields <1992JOM(440)389>. Metal carbonyl anions [CpFe(CO)2] and [Re(CO)5] undergo regiospecific [2+2] cycloaddition with ketenimines R1R2C¼C¼NR3 (R1 = R2 = Ph; R3 = Me, Ph) to give the isolable anionic complexes e.g., 65 (Figure 3) <1985JOM(294)251>. Under similar conditions, the carbene iron complex (CO)4Fe¼C(OEt)Ph afforded acyclic -allyl,-complexes 66 (R1 = Me, Et, i-Pr; R2 = Me; R3 = Ph) <1991CB1795>.

The reaction of Cp2W(CO) with diphenyl carbodiimide occurs by the same route as its reaction with isocyanates to give [2+2]-cycloaddition product, imino-substituted metallaazetidinone, in 94% yield <1989JA7424>. A similar formation of formal [2+2]-cycloaddition products was observed in the reactions of CpW(CO)3H and Cp*W(CO)3H with acyclic or cyclic sulfur diimides <1985ZN(B)1233, 1989JOM(371)303, 1993CB1781>. The reactions are regioselective: in the case of monosubstituted sulfur diimides, only substituted nitrogen atom participates in the metallacycle construction. When sulfur diimides with electron-accepting substituents, such as Ts, were used, no cyclization was observed and only acyclic metalhydrogen bond insertion products were isolated.

6.16.1.4.5

Miscellaneous reactions

(i) Additions of metal carbonyls to iminophosphines and phosphine imides Treatment of Fe or Mo carbonyl complexes with iminophosphines results in ligation of the phosphorus to the metal atom followed by intramolecular attack of imine nitrogen at a CO ligand to afford the corresponding metallaphosphaazetidinones <1985JA2553, 1986OM2376>. In contrast, the analogous reactions with phosphine imides are accompanied with the cleavage of the phosphorusnitrogen bond giving metallapyrrolinone complexes in 69–72% yields <1991JA3800>.

(ii) Transmetallation Platinum and palladium carbamoyl complexes (Et2NCO)M(PPh3)2X (M = Pt, Pd, X = Cl; M = Pt, X = PPh3) were prepared in 75–87% yields by treatment of carbamoyl mercury compounds ClHgCONEt2 or Hg(CONEt2)2 with Pt(0) or Pd(0) triphenylphosphine complexes at 20 C in benzene <1980BAU1490>.

(iii) Ligand modification reactions Treatment of transition metal complexes bearing an alkoxycarbonyl ligand with primary aliphatic or benzylic amines under mild conditions results in substitution of the alkoxy group with an alkylamino fragment. The reaction was applied to the preparation of Ru <1994IC253>, Re <1992IS211> and Fe <1985JCS(P1)2375, 1985T5871> carbamoyl complexes.

The mechanism of this transformation, steric requirements, and substituent effects have been studied in detail <1990JOM(383)295>. Organometallic compounds bearing a PCOP unit were also prepared via carbonylative PP bond cleavage of metal diphosphine complexes. Thus, cleavage of the PP bond with insertion of carbon monoxide was observed on treatment of iron complexes 71 or 72 with CO or excess Fe2(CO)9 (Scheme 17) <1986ZN(B)283, 1991CB265> or by ring opening–ring closure of substituted cyclotetraphosphane in the presence of Fe2(CO)9 <1991CB265>.

Cleavage of the phosphorusphosphorus double bond followed by carbon monoxide insertion on treatment of a series of Fe, Ru, or Os diphosphene complexes with excess of Fe2(CO)9 in toluene affords the corresponding metallated diphosphinomethanone complexes, analogs of 73 <1986AG737, 1987CB1421>. No information on the synthesis of carbonyl derivatives with two As, Sb, or Bi functions, or unsymmetrical analogs has been found up to the early 2000s.

6.16.2.2

Carbonyl Derivatives with One Phosphorus and One Metal Function

The most important approaches to the preparation of carbonyl compounds with one phosphorus and one metal function are based on: (a) carbon monoxide insertion into the metalphosphorus bond; (b) formation of PCO bond via phosphinylation of metal carbonyls; (c) formation of the MCO bond via reaction of metal complexes with -keto phosphonates; and (d) carbonylative phosphinylation of metal complexes. The carbonylation approach has been successfully applied to the preparation of hafnium <1988CRV1059, 1995COFGT(6)499>, thorium 70 (Figure 4) <1994CC1249>, and zirconium complexes <1996OM1134> under mild conditions. A series of phosphinocarbonyl complexes 75 was synthesized by reaction of cationic complexes 74 with the corresponding lithium phosphides (Equation (31)) <1985CB1193, 1985OM2097>. The polarity of the reagent can also be reversed: thus, anionic bimetallic complex (CpLi+)(CO)3MoCo(CO)4 readily reacted with chlorodiphenyl phosphine to give Mo2Co product with a carbonyl bridge between phosphorus and cobalt atoms <2000JOM(607)156>.

Two major approaches to the preparation of symmetrical bis(silyl) ketones involve C¼O bond formation in the pre-existing SiCSi fragment and are based on oxidation and hydrolysis reactions. Since the early synthesis of bis(triphenylsilyl) ketone via oxidation of the corresponding alcohol <1995COFGT(6)499>, the efforts were concentrated mostly on the preparation of the simplest representative of this class, bis(trimethylsilyl) ketone. In the oxidative approach, (Me3Si)2CO 83 (Scheme 18) was readily prepared via ozonation of bis(silylated) ylide 81 <1995COFGT(6)499, 1995LA415> or by oxidation of trimethylsilyl derivative 82 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) <1995COFGT(6)499>.

To our knowledge, no isolable unsymmetrical bis(silyl)ketones have been synthesized up to the early 2000s, although the formation of (trimethylsilyl)(triphenylsilyl) ketone on hydrolysis of the corresponding 2,2-disilylated 1,3-dithiane was proposed on the basis of infrared spectra <1968CJC2119>.

Other Carbonyl Derivatives with Two Metalloid Functions

The first bis(germyl) ketone, Et3GeCOGeEt3, was prepared via neutral hydrolysis of the corresponding 2,2-digermyl 1,3-dithiane derivative and characterized in solution <1967JA431>. One year later, bis(triphenylgermyl) ketone was prepared in 73% yield by oxidation of the corresponding alcohol and fully characterized <1968CJC2119>. Since then, only one procedure for the preparation of these compounds has been reported: bis(trimethylgermyl) ketone 89 (M = Ge) was synthesized via germylation of thioacetal 87 followed by halogenation of 88 with SO2Cl2 and mild hydrolysis of the intermediate -chloro ether on silica gel (Scheme 20) <2000JCS(P1)2677>. Mixed (trimethylsilyl)(trimethylgermyl) ketone 89 (M = Si) was prepared similarly (Scheme 20). No data on synthesis of other carbonyl compounds with two metalloid functions have been found up to the early 2000s.

In the latter case Fe2(CO)9 was used as a carbon monoxide source.

CARBONYL DERIVATIVES CONTAINING TWO METAL FUNCTIONS

Detailed information on both homonuclear and heteronuclear polymetallic clusters with a CO bridging ligand can be found in the appropriate volumes of Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry-II <1995COMCII> and in a series of yearly reviews titled ‘‘Organo-Transition Metal Cluster Compounds’’, published in Organometallic Chemistry e.g., <2000MI275>, so the following survey is intended to give only a brief summary of the methods used for the preparation of title compounds in the period 1994–2003. One of the most widely used approaches for the preparation of homonuclear bimetallic clusters with a CO bridging ligand is based on reductive carbonylation of the corresponding metal halides in ethylene glycol <1999JOM(580)117, 2003JOM(669)44>, or on the surface of inorganic oxides or zeolites <2003CRV3707>, or carbonylation of neutral metal complexes <2002IS210>. Enals, such as crotonaldehyde or 2-pentenal, could serve as a source of bridging CO: thus, treatment of [Cp*RuCl]4 with these enals in the presence of K2CO3 gave diruthenium complexes 92 (Figure 5) in 36–65% yields <1994OM2423>. Other dirhodium and dirhenium clusters were obtained by dimerization of the corresponding monomeric rhodium and rhenium carbonyls at room temperature or on heating <1999JOM(577)167, 2001IC2979>. Dimerization of indenyl rhenium tricarbonyl under UV irradiation was accompanied by loss of one CO ligand <1999OM1353>. Another approach, applied to the preparation of both homonuclear and heteronuclear bimetallic CO-bridged complexes, includes reaction of metalmetal bonded carbonyl compounds with external ligands, such as PPh3 <2000EJI159>, acetonitrile <2002JOM(658)117>, or alkynes <1994OM4695, 1995AJC1651, 2002OM4847>, which force one of CO ligands to change its binding mode. Similarly, the reaction of iron carbonyls with t-BuGeH3 <1994CL293> or Cp*2GaCl <2002JOM(646)247> yielded ironiron bonded complexes containing both -germylene or -gallium and -CO bridges. A similar procedure was applied to the preparation of heteronuclear clusters, such as CObridged RuPd <2002JA5628>, IrMo, IrW, IrFe <2002ICA204>, FeRe, and FeMn complexes <1998OM2945, 2000OM72>.

FUNCTIONS CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE HALOGEN Thiocarbonyl Halides Containing Two Halogens

All four thiocarbonyl halides with identical halogens are known and were synthesized prior to 1995 (see Table 1 for characteristic properties). Thiocarbonyl diiodide is the only one that has not been isolated, due to its labile nature, thus far and its identification has been based on IR. These compounds tend to polymerize easily <1974MI25> and their stability is dependent on both the character of the C¼S double bond and the donor activity of the attendant halogens <1976CB3432>. As acid halides, they react readily with alcohols, amines, etc., to yield the corresponding carbonic acid derivatives in high yields. Some thiocarbonyl halides with dissimilar halogens have also been synthesized and are included in Table 1. Caution! Thiocarbonyl halides must be handled with great care as they are highly toxic and it is imperative that exposure by ingestion, inhalation, or direct absorption through the skin be avoided. As a minimum precaution, all operations should be conducted in a well-ventilated fume hood. Table 1

The syntheses of the thiocarbonyl halides have been extensively reviewed in COFGT (1995), and the references for the most useful syntheses are collected in Table 1. The most convenient synthesis of thiophosgene (Cl2C¼S) is by the reduction of perchloromethylsulfenylchloride (Cl3CSCl) with H2S at 110–114 C <1974S26>; other reducing agents have also been used. Alternatively, trichloromethyl thiol (Cl3CSH) can be reduced with SO2 in the presence of KI and S2Cl2 <1983HOU(E4)408> to provide thiophosgene (Scheme 1).

The other three symmetric thiocarbonyl halides are, in fact, available by the direct derivatization of thiophosgene. However, the most useful syntheses are as follows: F2C¼S by a three-step procedure via dimerized thiophosgene which is fluorinated using SbF3 and the resulting 2,2,4,4tetrafluoro-1,3-dithietane decomposed by pyrolysis <1965JOC1375> (Scheme 2).

Br2C¼S from F2C¼S in 97% yield by reaction with anhydrous HBr <1974IC1778> and I2C¼S from carbon monosulfide by reaction with I2 <1968ZAAC180>. The three thiocarbonyl halides with dissimilar halogens reported thus far have been obtained as follows: FClC¼S from FCl2CSCl in 87% yield by reduction using Sn/HClconc <1959ZOB3792>; FBrC¼S from FClC¼S by halogen exchange using BBr3 at 65 C <1981CB829> and ClBrC¼S from thiophosgene by halogen exchange using BBr3 <1981CB829>. The high-temperature thiation of thiophosgene with elemental sulfur has been reinvestigated by Christensen and Senning <2000SUL23>. The reaction was shown to lead to a multitude of primary, secondary, and tertiary products which are probably the result of the cycloaddition of thiophosgene S-sulfide Cl2C¼S¼S and/or thiophosgene S-disulfide Cl2C¼S¼S¼S followed by sulfur extrusion and various dechlorination/chlorination steps.

6.17.1.2

Sulfoxides of Thiocarbonyl Halides (Sulfines)

Four sulfoxides of thiocarbonyl halides are known thus far and all were synthesized prior to 1995 (see Table 2 for characteristic properties and the most useful syntheses). They are very labile compounds and can be detected only under extreme conditions except for thiophosgene-S-oxide (dichlorosulfine). The synthesis, structural analysis, and chemistry of dichlorosulfine have been reviewed <1992SUL275>. In its simplest preparation, it is obtained from 2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-1, 3-dithietane by oxidation using trifluoroperoxyacetic acid at 40 C and the resulting 1,3-dioxide quantitatively cleaved by vacuum pyrolysis at 480 C and 0.5 mmHg <1983CB1623> (Scheme 3).

Dichlorosulfine can also be obtained from thiophosgene directly (by oxidation using peroxybenzoic acid <1969TL4461>), from Cl3CSCl (by hydrolysis <1969CC878>) and from allyl trichloromethyl sulfoxide Cl3CSOCH2CH¼CH2 (by pyrolysis at 300–400 C <1986CB269>). It is much more difficult to synthesize than the other three sulfoxides reported thus far (all were obtained prior to 1995), since they decompose spontaneously at low temperatures. None have been isolated, but some have been identified on the basis of IR and MS analyses (cf. COFGT (1995)).

Thiocarbonyl Halides Containing One Halogen and One Other Heteroatom

6.17.1.3.1

Halogenothioformates, ROC(Hal)¼S

The syntheses of both fluoro- and chlorothioformates have been reported. Thiocarbonyl chloride fluoride (ClFC¼S) reacts readily with alcohols in the absence of solvent leading selectively to the alkyl fluorothioformates ROC(F)¼S (R = alkyl) <1959ZOB3792>. In particular, the aryl chlorothioformates (PhOC(Cl)¼S) have been employed extensively as starting reagents for the syntheses of the corresponding di- and trithiocarbonates and thiocarbamates (vide infra). The syntheses of bromo- and iodothioformates have not been reported as of early 2004.

6.17.1.3.2

Chlorothioformates, ROC(Cl)¼S

Phenols and its analogs react readily with thiophosgene in (chloro)hydrocarbon solvents together with base to provide the corresponding aryl chlorothioformates in excellent yields, e.g., <1985SUL61> (Equation (1)). Cl

Phenyl chlorothioformate PhOC(Cl)¼S, a yellow liquid boiling at 91 C (10 mmHg), can be synthesized easily employing this procedure with yields in excess of 95% (cf. COFGT (1995), <1983HOU(E4)408>). This compound has often been used for the syntheses of the corresponding di- and trithiocarbonates and thiocarbamates (vide infra) and has proven to be very useful for introducing the thiocarbonyl functionality into organic compounds (vide infra). The in situ preparation of thiophosgene for the generation of phenyl chlorothioformate has been accomplished by the chlorination of CS2, by the reduction of CCl3CSCl, or by the reduction of CCl3SH using SO2 (COFGT (1995)). The corresponding alkyl chlorothioformates (e.g., ethyl chlorothioformate, a yellow liquid, b.p. 53–55 C (40 mmHg)) can be synthesized by three different approaches. (i) From thiophosgene, by the reaction with potassium alkoxide in the corresponding alcohol at low temperatures; yields are in excess of 90%, cf. Table 3 <1986S760>. (ii) From thiophosgene, by the reaction with alkoxytrimethylsilanes; although not requiring basic conditions, the yields, however, are less than 35% <1986S760>. (iii) By the chlorination of bis(alkoxythiocarbonyl)disulfides with Cl2 or SOCl2 <1983JOC4750>. However, the yields are low, under 70%, and the reaction products are difficult to purify. In addition, it is strongly advised that only very pure reagents be used for the preparation <1986S760> (Scheme 4). Table 3

Halogenodithioformates, RSC(Hal)¼S

A number of halogenodithioformates RSC(Hal)¼S have been prepared, and are presented together with their most useful syntheses in Table 4. The most effective route for the synthesis of F3CC(F)¼S is by the reaction of FClC¼S with Hg(SCF3)2 at room temperature <1972CB820> (yield, 96%). In a similar fashion, C6F5SC(Cl)¼S was obtained from Hg(SC6F5)2 and thiophosgene <1984T4963> and F3CSeC(F)¼S from Hg(SeCF3)2 and FClC¼S at 78 C <1976ZAAC114>. A few halogenodithioformates have also been obtained by the reaction between thiols (RSH) and the corresponding thiocarbonyldihalogenides (Hal2C¼S) (COFGT (1995)): AlkSC(F)¼S in the absence of solvent <1959ZOB3792>; AlkSC(Cl)¼S in dry CS2 at room temperature in 55–70% yield <1984ZAAC136>; and AlkSC(Br)¼S in ether at room temperature under argon <1984ZAAC61>.

The analogous selenoesters (AlkSeC(Cl)¼S) have also been produced from the reaction of alkyl selenols <1976ZAAC114>. In addition, F3CSeC(Cl)¼S has been synthesized from F3CSeC(F)¼S in 97% yield by halogen exchange using BCl3 <1976ZAAC114> and F3CSeC(Br)¼S from F3CSeC(F)¼S after UV irradiation for 4 h and halogen exchange with BBr3 at 40 C in 74% yield <1986ZN(B)413>. The sulfines were produced by oxidation of the halogenodithioformates using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) <1986ZN(B)413>.

6.17.1.3.4

Chlorodithioformates, RSC(Cl)¼S

There are five main routes available for the synthesis of the chlorodithioformates.

(i) From thiols For example, alkyl chlorodithioformates (cf. Table 4) can be easily synthesized from the corresponding alkyl thiols and thiophosgene in good yields at room temperature <1984ZAAC136>, and similarly from the aryl thiols <1985SUL61>.

(ii) By the insertion of carbon monosulfide This method has been employed for the syntheses of a number of alkyl and aryl chlorodithioformates <1984JOC3854, 1984JA263, 1986SUL203, 1986ACS(B)609, 1991SUL143, 1998SUL53>. (It should be noted that the continuous production of CS requires special care and equipment <1986ACS(B)609>.)

(iii) From sulfochlorides For example, methyl chlorodithioformate MeSC(Cl)¼S can be obtained from (MeS)2CClSCl by hydrolysis (using water, aqueous KI, or MeSH), from MeSC(Cl)2SSMe (again by hydrolysis using water, aqueous KI, or MeSH), or from MeSC(Cl)2SCl (using MeSH) <1992SUL275>.

(iv) From alkali metal dichlorodithioformates Alkali metal dichlorodithioformates MSC(Cl)¼S, prepared from alkali chlorides/NaOH and CS2 <1983ZAAC7>, have been alkylated, for example, using ethyl iodide to yield ethyl chlorodithioformate EtOC(Cl)¼S <1983ZAAC7>.

(v) From arenediazonium salts and CS2 Aryl chlorodithioformates have been produced by the reaction of arene diazonium chlorides with CS2 under Sandmeyer conditions (Cupowder or CuCl at room temperature) (Scheme 5). Cl +

Thiocarbamoyl halides, R2NC(Hal)¼S

In addition to a number of thiocarbamoyl chlorides (R2NC(Cl)¼S), some fluoride <1970LA195, 1970LA158, 1975LA1025> and bromide analogs <1970LA195, 1972LA145> have also been synthesized. Only the N,N-disubstituted derivatives of thiocarbamoyl halides are sufficiently stable to enable isolation; the N-monosubstituted thiocarbamoyl halides decompose spontaneously after formation to the corresponding isothiocyanates with the evolution of HCl. Fluorothiocarbamates have been obtained directly from the reaction between thiocarbonyl chloride fluoride and secondary amines. A few other patented methods have been reported, e.g., N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl fluoride was obtained by treating F2C¼CFR (R = H, Cl, CF3) with tetramethylthiouramide sulfide at 130–135 C (COFGT (1995)). The thiocarbamoyl bromides R2NC(Br)¼S known thus far have been produced by the reaction between bromine and the thiocarbamoyl chlorides R2NC(Cl)¼S.

6.17.1.3.6

Thiocarbamoyl chlorides, R2NC(Cl)¼S

Thiocarbamoyl chlorides are sufficiently stable to permit isolation; selected examples are listed in Table 5. Dimethyl and diethylthiocarbamoyl chloride and other N,N-disubstituted analogs continue to be very popular as reagents for introducing sulfur into organic compounds. Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride has been investigated using gas-phase electron diffraction <2003JPC(A)4697>; the molecule exists as a single near-planar conformer in the gas phase.

There are three main synthetic routes.

(i) From thiophosgene and secondary amines or their synthetic equivalents Thiophosgene reacts readily with secondary amines in inert solvents to yield thiocarbamoyl chlorides. The HCl formed in the reaction can be taken up by a further equivalent of the secondary amine without formation of the corresponding thiourea derivatives <1970LA158, 1975LA1025> (cf. Table 5). Alternatively, thiophosgene can be reacted with N-trimethylsilylimide, triphenylphosphinium chloride, or N-trimethylsilyl-1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazoline <1987UKZ395> to effect the same result <1997ZN(B)1055> (Scheme 6). If trialkyl-substituted hydrazines are used instead of secondary amines, the corresponding thiocarbazic acid chlorides (R2NN(R)C(Cl)¼S) result (cf. Table 5) <1972CB2854, 1991AP(324)917>. Thiocarbazic acid chlorides are very useful reagents for the thiocarbazoylation of thiazine-2-ones and thiazolidin-2-ones <1991LA405> (Equation (2)).

From thiophosgene

Both monohydroxy alcohols and cis-diols react readily with thiophosgene to form the corresponding O,O-diesters (cf., e.g., Scheme 8 <2002CAR397, 2000IJ241>). This method especially (conditions: Cl2C¼S, CH2Cl2, dimethylaminopyridine, 0 C to 10 C) has been employed for the diastereoselective synthesis of the O,O-diesters of a number of diols with complete retention of the configuration(s) present in the diols. Very often, the thionocarbonate group serves as an intermediate or protective group which can be easily converted into the corresponding alkene by Corey–Winter elimination <1999HCA1610, 1997TA2967>. Often, thionocarbonates (but also other derivatives of thiocarbonic acid) have been produced as intermediates in the course of the deoxygenation of alcohols. For the deoxygenation

The best yields were obtained for the S-methylxanthogenate, though the high flammability of CS2 limits the use of this method to small-scale syntheses. The other reagents tested (PhN¼C¼S, C(S)Im2 and PhOC(S)Cl) did not yield promising results, either because they were insuffficiently reactive or the reagents utilized were too expensive. The most efficient deoxygenation was achieved by preparing the phenoxythiocarbonylester (R¼C(S)OPh) in situ (phenol/pyridine in anhydrous CH2Cl2 was treated with thiophosgene) which was then directly reacted with the secondary alcohol <2002CAR397>.

6.17.2.1.2

From chlorothionoformates

Addition of phenyl chlorothionoformate [PhOC(S)Cl] to solutions of secondary alcohols (e.g., in dry acetonitrile) led to the isolation of the corresponding thionocarbonates in good yields which were readily reduced to the dehydrogenation product. This method has widely been employed in different types of compounds (cf. Table 7). In a number of cases, the thionocarbonates were not isolated <2002JOC6896, 2001JOC8935, 2001BMCL1609, 1998JA13003, 1998AG(E)965, 1998JOC44, 1995JOC7149, 1995LA1533> (Equation (4)).

The HOC(2) group of the ortho-ester of myo-inositol acts as an H-bond donor in a bifurcated, intramolecular H-bond, and the HOC(4) and HOC(6) groups form a strong intramolecular H-bond with one of them acting as a donor and the other as an acceptor. This leads to markedly different nucleophilicities for the three HO groups; the C(4) hydroxy group can be selectively monothiocarbonylated by 4-O-tolylthiochloroformate. The regioselectivity of this acylation is evident from the lack of symmetry expressed in the 1H NMR spectrum of the resulting thionocarbonate <1998HCA688> (Equation (5)). Bu

Thionocarbonates have been successfully used in radical-initiated deoxygenation reactions in carbohydrate derivatives. Phenyl thiocarbonates are well suited because of the high reactivity of PhOC(S)Cl with secondary alcohols and because the resulting thionocarbonates undergo clean photolytic cleavage. Photolysis yields the allylic product stereochemically pure (71–78%) <1995ACS217> (Scheme 10).

Additionally, cyclic thionocarbonates can be used for protecting glycols <1997JOC4159> and possess similar properties as carbonates, i.e., they are stable in acidic media but are converted to the starting diols in basic media by hydrolysis. Phenyl 2,3-O-thionocarbonyl-1-thio--L-rhamnopyranosides (readily prepared from 2,3-diols in the presence of thiocarbonyldiimidazole, yield 81%) by the action of methyltrifluoromethanesulfonate (MeOTf) afforded the 3-O-(methylthio)carbonyl-2-S-phenyl-2,6-dideoxy--L-glucopyranosides (ready precursors of the corresponding 2-deoxy--glycosides) in high yields (Scheme 12).

Functions Containing a Thiocarbonyl Group and at Least One Halogen Dithiocarbonates (Esters of Dithiocarbonic Acid)

Dithiocarbonic acid [S¼C(OH)SH] cannot be isolated as it decomposes spontaneously. The mono-O-esters also decompose readily, especially in acidic media, but are sufficiently stable to enable isolation at low temperatures and to be analytically characterized. The salts (xanthates) are stable but the synthetic efforts within the review period mainly concentrated on the chemistry of the corresponding diesters <1983HOU(E4)408> (COFGT (1995)).

Salts of O-alkyl esters of dithiocarbonic acid (xanthates) and bisalkoxythiocarbonyl disulfides

Usually the sodium or potassium salts (e.g., ROC(S)SK+) were synthesized. These xanthates were prepared from the corresponding alcohols ROH, CS2, and KOH using the same alcohol as solvent if possible. Practically all alcohols, including starch and cellulose, react <1983HOU(E4)408> (COFGT (1995)) (Equation (7)).

The xanthates have been used as precursors for the synthesis of dithiocarbonic acid diesters, and for this purpose, within the review period, only the compounds with R = Et or i-Pr had been employed. The synthesis, spectral characterization, and X-ray structures of methylmercury(II) xanthates (MeOC(S)SHgR, R = Me, Et, i-Pr or Bn) have been reported <2002ICA71>. These compounds tend to form supramolecular, self-assembled, tape-like arrays in the solid state, whereas the compounds with R = Et or i-Pr form double chains, and the compound with R = Bn forms dimeric units that do not interact with one another. Within the review period, bisalkoxythiocarbonyldisulfides [ROC(S)SSC(S)OR] have been employed as precursors for the synthesis of dithiocarbonic acid diesters which are readily available by the oxidation of the alkali metal xanthates (Equation (8)).

O,S-Diesters of dithiocarbonic acid

O,S-Diesters of dithiocarbonic acid have proven to be an invaluable class of compounds which play an important role in free-radical chemistry, such as for the deoxygenation of alcohols, radical cyclization, and isomerization <1983HOU(E4)408> (COFGT (1995)). These methodologies have found wide application in the synthesis of natural products and their analogs by favoring the radical process and suppressing the side reactions.

(i) From alkali salts of O-esters of dithiocarbonic acid For the preparation of the O,S-diesters of dithiocarbonic acid, mostly sodium or potassium xanthates were simply alkylated using common organic solvents <1983HOU(E4)408> (COFGT (1995)); yields ranged from good to excellent. The synthesis of S-vinyldithiocarbonates is not straightforward because nucleophilic substitution at the vinylcarbon is difficult. However, a general method for the preparation is now available: the reaction of potassium dithiocarbonate with vinylphenyliodonium salt in tetrahydrofuran (THF) occurs quickly and in high yield <1999JCR(S)432> (Equation (9)).

The reactions of isomeric tetrachlorocyanopyridines with potassium Et-O-dithiocarbonate have also been studied: tetrachloro-2-cyanopyridine was converted successively into the 4-mono- and then the 3,4-bisethylxanthates; with additional potassium Et-O-dithiocarbonate, the last derivative undergoes intramolecular cyclization with formation of 1,3-dithiolo[4,5-c]pyridine <1997CHE1306>. For the other polychloromonocyanopyridines, substitution of the chlorine atoms by the ethylxanthate fragment was observed, sometimes accompanied by the loss of COS instead of heterocyclization <1997CHE1306>. New S-alkylxanthates have been synthesized via the S-alkoxycarbonyl xanthates <1999T3791>; the latter compounds were obtained from the corresponding alcohols by the dropwise addition of a solution of phosgene in toluene and the crude alkylchloroformates that formed (obtained in near quantitative yield) treated with potassium O-ethylxanthate in acetone. Finally, upon exposure of these yellow-colored S-alkoxycarbonylxanthates to visible light in an inert solvent under reflux, a smooth rearrangement took place affording the S-alkylxanthates in good yields (see Table 9a) <1999T3791, 1996CC1631> (Scheme 14) (Table 9b). When 5-hexenyloxycarbonylxanthate was irradiated under the same conditions, a cyclopentane derivative was isolated. S-alkoxycarbonylxanthates derived from various substituted 3-buten-1-ols behaved similarly, affording the corresponding lactones in all cases <1999T3791>.

Potassium O-furfuryl dithiocarbonates have been employed as reactive intermediates for a simple synthesis of furfuryl sulfides via extrusion of COS <1995JCS(P2)1155>.

(ii) From bisalkoxythiocarbonyl disulfides For the preparation of carbohydrate-derived S-xanthates which are attractive due to their importance as precursors for osides or anomeric activators (i-PrOC(S)S)2 was used. The introduction of the S-xanthate group was regiospecific and led to reasonable yields with reaction at the primary and anomeric hydroxyls of the sugars <1999OL521> (Scheme 15).

A complete selectivity for the primary hydroxyl site was observed for diol substrates possessing a secondary hydroxyl function, though the reaction appeared to be quite sensitive to steric effects. The direct conversion of the anomeric hydroxyl into O-alkyl, S-glycosyl dithiocarbonates in high yield reveals the efficiency of the method <1999OL521>. A number of sterically hindered tertiary S-alkyldithiocarbonates were synthesized by the decomposition of tertiary diazoderivatives (which can easily be made from the corresponding ketone hydrazones) in the presence of dithionosulfides in good yield (cf., e.g., entries 4 and 5 in Table 8) <1999TL277> (Equation (12)).

(iii) From carbon disulfide The preparation of O,S-dithiocarbonates directly from the alcohols by reaction with a base, CS2, and a haloalkane has been used widely (COFGT (1995)). In the typical reaction procedure, the alcoholate is produced with NaH in THF, and catalytic amounts of imidazole, CS2, and the halomethane are then added sequentially. A number of applications of this procedure have been reported after 1995. 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-ols have been converted into the corresponding methoxydithiocarbonates in good yields in the course of highly diastereoselective and enantioselective syntheses (de 98% and ee = 92–98%) <1998EJO2839> (Equation (13)).

A tricyclic sulfide with C2 symmetry was synthesized via a radical-mediated route from the xanthate (prepared in excellent yield of 90% from the corresponding dibenzylidene acetal) using tributyltin hydride in toluene and ,-diazoisobutyronitrile as initiator <2001TL7091> (Scheme 17). The 3-O-xanthyl-1,2-cyclopropylglucal derivative, synthesized similarly from the corresponding secondary alcohol, was used for the formation of 1-C-methyl-2,3-unsaturated sugars via tri-nbutyltin hydride-mediated ring opening <2001CL103>.

The intermolecular addition of the radical obtained from the xanthate to suitable allylic or homoallylic amines proved to be the key step for the construction of various nitrogen heterocycles <1999TL3701>. By the same procedure, the electrophilic alkyl radicals served as useful precursors for annulation reactions and afforded cyclopentane derivatives in moderate-to-good yields <1998SL1435>. Substituted S-phenacyl xanthates add intermolecularly to various alkenes <1997TL1759> and sterically hindered xanthates, and by the same process, add to allyl acetates and allyltrimethyl silane <1999TL277> and to allyl- and vinylboronates <2001CC2618> to provide the expected products.

The addition of the benzotriazol-1-yl methyl radical was observed to be regiospecific with the benztriazol-1-yl methyl moiety adding to the unsubstituted side of an alkene double bond. The existence of the radical could not be proven by ESR spectroscopy, but by-products which could only originate from the formation of the benzotriazol-1-yl methyl radical strongly implied the existence of such.

(vi) By other methods A novel and convenient preparation for steroidal 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones (cis cyclic dithiocarbonates) at room temperature in high yields has been reported by the reaction of steroidal 5,6epoxides with CS2 in THF using lithium bromide as catalyst <1997TL5705> (Equation (15)).

NMR analysis of the sulfines (performed rapidly after reaction) showed that the (E)-isomer was predominantly obtained (R1 = i-Pr, R2 = Bn), revealing that oxygen transfer occurs to the opposite side of the SR2 group. However, for another sulfine (R1 = 2,6-di-t-Bu-phenyl, R2 = Me), the same analysis yielded the reverse result with an (E):(Z) ratio of 8:92. This sulfine could be kept without change for months at ambient temperature in contrast to the preceding one which transformed into a mixture of thiocarbonate and dithioperoxycarbonate upon standing. The sulfine structure was determined by X-ray analysis which provided a C¼S bond length of 1.669 A˚ and an S¼O bond length of 1.506 A˚. The plane of the sulfinyl group is perpendicular to the plane of the phenyl ring and the C(7)–(S(2) bond has an s-trans arrangement in contrast to the s-cis conformations of esters, thioesters, and dithioesters <1997JCS(P1)2019>.

From N,N 0 -thiocarbonyl diimidazole and alcohols

The mild procedure of functionalizing alcohols by employing thiocarbonyl imidazolides as intermediates is a standard procedure these days for the dehydroxylation of secondary alcohols. The yields are high, but only in a few cases the thiocarbonyl imidazolides were isolated <2002TA759, 2000T5819, 2000MI559, 1998JA1747, 2000T7173> (cf.

Cyclization of the 1,2-amino alcohols with thiophosgene and triethylamine in methylene chloride gave an oxazolidinethione in 95% yield as a viscous oil which crystallized after several weeks. The oxazolidinethione was finally acetylated with n-BuLi and n-PrCl in THF at –78 C to provide the propionyloxazolidinethione in 90% yield <2001JOC894> (Scheme 25). By the same synthetic procedure, ()-(hydroxyoxindol-3-yl)methylammonium chloride was treated with thiophosgene to provide the desired product with a spiro ring system in 92% yield as colorless crystals which were characterized by IR, 1H, and 13C NMR, UV, and MS <2001JOC3940>. Alkylation using methyl iodide, however, provided the S-alkylation product.

The relative configurations of the vicinal hydroxy and amine substituents of -hydroxyhistidine derivatives were determined by transformation into the corresponding oxazolidine-2-thiones using CS2/TEA. The cis or trans configuration was easily determined by 1H NMR; for a cis stereoisomer JH,H lies in the range 8–9.5 Hz, and for a trans arrangement JH,H lies in the range 5–8 Hz <1998JOC2731>. Other 2-oxazolidinethiones have also been synthesized employing this synthetic procedure (cf. Table 13) <1995JOC6604, 1997H2471, 1999SC1627>. The corresponding six-membered, 2-thiono-1,3-O,N-heterocycles were also produced by reaction of the corresponding amino alcohols with carbon disulfide in the presence of trimethylamine at room temperature <2001T3175> (Scheme 28). The cis or trans configuration of the ring anellation of the two six-membered rings follows from the values of the J-couplings of H-8a (two 3Jax,ax couplings are observed in the case of the trans isomer but only one in the case of the cis isomer). The corresponding oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2(3H)-thione was synthesized by the reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-aminopyridine with potassium ethylxanthogenate <1997CHE1337>; the thione structure of the compound was established by both 1H NMR and X-ray diffraction.

From isothiocyanates and alcohols

The addition of alcohols to isothiocyanates is useful as another general method for the preparation of O-alkyl thiocarbamates. Some examples of the procedure that have been reported include <2002HAC280, 2001CAR123, 2001CPB361, 2001H279, 2000PS221, 1997CCC1491> (cf. Table 14) (Equation (21)).

Triethylamine and sodium alcoholates were found to strongly accelerate the reaction. Phenols only add poorly to the phenyl isothiocyanates. The S-alkyl esters of N-alkyl(aryl) dithiocarbamic acid were converted into the corresponding O-alkyl(aryl)esters of N-alkyl(aryl)thiocarbamic acid using alkali metal alkoxides in the presence of one or more alcohols as solvents <1997MIP5621132>. In the presence of base, the formation of a six-membered cyclic thiocarbamate is slow, resulting from intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the C(5) hydroxyl group to the heterocummulene functionality of the furanose form, was observed <2000CAR218> (Equation (22)).

Dithiocarbamates (Esters of Dithiocarbamic Acid)

The dithiocarbamic acids have been obtained from their alkali metal dithiocarbamates by treatment with HCl. However, they easily decompose in aqueous solution to produce CS2 and the corresponding amines (COFGT (1995)). N,N-diphenyldithiocarbamic acid (m.p. 147 C after recrystallization from benzene) and the N-acyldithiocarbamic acids (2-oxopyrrolidide, m.p. 101–102 C; and 2-oxopiperidide, m.p. 103–105 C), however, are sufficiently stable to permit isolation <1983HOU(E4)408>. Recently, ethoxydithiocarbamic acid [EtO2CNHC(S)SH] was isolated as pale yellow crystals and unequivocally characterized by IR and 1H NMR. Upon standing in the air, it dimerizes to form [EtO2CNHCS2]2.

Alkali metal salts of N,N 0 -disubstituted dithiocarbamic acid (dithiocarbamates)

Dithiocarbamates are usually prepared from CS2 and 2 equiv. of an amine using common solvents such as acetone or ethanol. When the reaction was performed in aqueous NaOH or KOH <1983HOU(E4)408> (COFGT (1995)), the corresponding sodium or potassium dithiocarbamates were obtained (e.g., sodium 1,10 -ferrocene-bis(dithiocarbamate) <1999SC1041> or potassium 1,1-dioxothiolan-3-yl-dithiocarbamate <2000MI1014>); in ammonium hydroxide solution, the ammonium dithiocarbamate was obtained <2001JIC372>. The dithiocarbamate anions are good ligands for transition metals and a large number of complexes have been constructed incorporating them. The sodium salts of the dithiocarbamates were normally used, and the complexes obtained ([R2NC(S)S]TeMe2 <1997IC1890>, [R2NC(S)S]AsPh <1995PS13>, [MeC(S)NHC(S)S]M (M = K, Rb or Cs) <1995ZAAK439>, [R2NC(S)S]GeClPh2 <2002IJC(B)1510>, [RHNC(S)S]SnCy3 <2002MI13>) were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Esters of dithiocarbamic acids

(i) From carbon disulfide and base followed by alkylation The synthesis of the esters of dithiocarbamic acid is conventionally separated into two steps: the first step is the synthesis of the dithiocarbamates by reaction of a secondary amine with CS2 in the presence of a base; the second step is the alkylation of the dithiocarbamate salts, thereby converting them to the corresponding S-esters (Equation (31)).

By employing BrCH2CH(OEt)2 <1999SC3191, 1997S407> and several other alkyl halides <2001TL2055, 1997M881> in the alkylation step, the corresponding S-esters were obtained. Different kinds of dithiocarbamates have been prepared by a simple, one-pot procedure from primary or secondary amines, CS2, and a variety of alkyl halides in the presence of anhydrous K3PO4 under mild conditions in good yields <1998SC295>. In a number of cases, the alkylation of the dithiocarbamates, e.g., with an -halogenated ketone, was followed by cyclization to yield thiazole-2(3H)-thiones <2000JOC6069, 1998S1442>.

For the rapid synthesis of various thiadiazolylthiazol-2(3H)-thiones, a microwave-accelerated solid-state protocol has been described <2001SC817>. The preparation of the thiazolidinethiones from (1R,2S)-ephedrine or (1R*,2S*)-norephedrine was found to involve inversion of the configuration, as determined by X-ray analysis <1995JOC6604>. Employing different alkylating agents, further heterocycles containing the SC(S)N fragment have been synthesized: rhodamines with RCHBrCO2 <1997CHIR568> and thiazole derivatives with CH2ClCO2Et <2001MI269>. When the reaction of aromatic primary amines with CS2/Et3N was followed by treatment with aqueous hydrogen peroxide, the corresponding benzoxa(thia)zol-2-thiones were obtained <2000TL5833>.

(ii) From metal or ammonium dithiocarbamates The S-alkylation, S-arylation, or S-acylation of alkali metal or ammonium dithiocarbamates by alkyl halides and related compounds is another general synthetic method for the preparation of the S-esters of the dithiocarbamates (Scheme 31). S R2N C

A polymer-supported diethyldithiocarbamate anion reacted with primary and secondary alcohols via their trifluoroacetates and produced alkylated dithiocarbamates in good yields <2000JCR(S)450>. Treatment of a terpene alcohol with zinc N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamic acid in the presence of triphenylphosphine and DEAD proceeded with inversion of the configuration at the carbon atom to provide the dithiocarbamate in 75% yield after chromatography <1999TA4129> (Equation (32)).

Isothiocyanates and -thiobutyrolactone, when gently heated with NaOH in a dioxane/water system and followed by acidification, yielded the 4-thiocarbamoylthiobutyric acids <1999JHC1167>, which can be easily cyclized to the seven-membered 2-thioxo-1,3-thiazepan-4-ones (Equation (34)).

Functions Containing a Thiocarbonyl Group and at Least One Halogen Bis-[thiocarbamoyl](thiuram)disulfides

Bis(thiocarbamoyl)disulfides were obtained by oxidation of the salts of dithiocarbamic acid (not always isolated). A wide range of oxidation reagents have been used, from chlorine to ammonium persulfate <1983HOU(E4)408> (COFGT (1995)). A new, attractive method under mild conditions has been reported for obtaining the tetraalkylthiuram disulfides (R = Me, Et, i-Pr, cyclohexyl, CH2CH2OH). Dialkyldithiocarbamic acid or the sodium salt were subjected to sodium chlorite, and the tetraalkylthiuram disulfides were obtained instantaneously, pure and in very high yields <1995SC227> (Equation (39)).

Tetrabutylthiuram disulfide and bis[(3-methoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-pyrazol)-1-yl thiocarbonyl] disulfide were prepared by dissolving the appropriate amine in ethanol, adding CS2 to the cooled solution followed by the addition of solid iodine. Yields ranged from 83% to 90% <2001MI232, 2001MI234>.

Trithiocarbonates (Esters of Trithiocarbonic Acid)

Trithiocarbonic acid has been isolated as a reddish liquid at room temperature (m.p. –26.9 C) but is unstable and decomposes into CS2 and H2S. At 78 C though, it can be stored for extended periods of time. The salts of trithiocarbonic acid are more stable and rather easily available. With the exclusion of moisture, they can be stored without decomposition <1983HOU(E4)408>.

6.17.2.5.1

Salts of monoesters of trithiocarbonic acid

The blood-red trithiocarbonate anion S¼CS22 has been prepared by treating ammonium sulfide, strong aqueous ammonia, alkali metal sulfides, or aqueous alkali metal hydroxide with CS2 <1983HOU(E4)408, COFGT-II>. To promote the reaction, a phase-transfer catalyst or an anion-exchange resin has often been used <1998JCR(S)454>. The reaction of aliphatic and aromatic thiolates with polarized CS2 leads to the formation of the salts of the monoesters of trithiocarbonic acids, e.g., the stable triethylbenzylammonium (TEBA) salts of the corresponding trithiocarbonic acid <1996JCR(S)64> (Equation (40)). +

Diesters of trithiocarbonic acid

(i) From thiophosgene or xanthates The diesters of trithiocarbonic acid have been produced from thiophosgene and thiols, thiophenols, or their salts. The dithiols <1997PS413, 2000PS153> and dithiolates as well as disilanylsulfanyl derivatives <2001T5739> produced cyclic trithiocarbonic esters. In the case of the disilanylsulfanyl derivatives, the reaction yields were shown to improve considerably if phenyl chlorothionoformate PhOC(S)Cl was used instead of thiophosgene. The 1,3-dithiol-2-thione derivatives were also obtainable as cyclization products of the RSC(S)Oi-Pr derivatives, which were synthesized from pyridyl acyl bromide and NaSC(S)Oi-Pr <2001TL1571> (Scheme 34).

The corresponding bis(azinyl)trithiocarbonates were synthesized from the corresponding pyridone thiol using the same methodology but by using CS2 in the presence of triethylamine and Pb(II)Ac2 <1995H2195>. In the presence of an anion-exchange resin in the hydroxy form, primary, secondary, allylic, and benzylic halides were converted, by the reaction with CS2 under mild reaction conditions, exclusively into the corresponding dialkyl trithiocarbonates. They were obtained as virtually pure products (according to 1 H NMR) in excellent yields (>90%) and in considerably shorter reaction times <1998JCR(S)454>. The synthesis of the 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate anion employing the carbon disulfide route (CS2/Na/DMF) has been reviewed in 1995 <1995PS145>. A convenient, one-pot preparation of 1,3-dithiol-2-thiones and 1,3-diselenol-2-selenones, substituted with phenyl, alkyl, alkylthio, hydroxymethyl, or formyl groups, from readily available acetylenes and CS2 has been reported in good-to-excellent yields <1997SL319> (Equation (43)). i. n-BuLi/ THF ii.

(iv) From bisalkoxythiocarbonyl disulfides The 1,3-dithiol-2-thione ring was also prepared in a one-pot reaction from bis(diisopropyloxythiocarbonyl) disulfide and various alkynes under radical conditions, the five-membered heterocycle being formed via the ring closure of a vinyl radical <1998H2003> (Equation (45)).

Direct cycloaddition of C60 to a diene, formed in situ by the thermal extrusion of SO2 from the corresponding 1,3-dithiol-2-thione derivative, yielded the cycloadduct in 61% yield <1998JOC5201> (Equation (50)).

Methods for their preparation prior to 1995 have been reviewed <1995S215>. An alternative method for the preparation of 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate, the zinc complex, and 4,5-ethylenedithio-1,3-dithiol-2-thione has been published <2000ZN231> (Scheme 36). In the presence of a dienophile, the latter undergoes Diels–Alder-type pericyclic reactions <2000ZN231, 2001MI749, 1999TL8819>. 4,5-Ethylenedithio-1,3-dithiol-2-thione was readily alkylated using 2-chloroethanol [or 3-bromopropanols, 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol, etc.]

<2000S1615>, benzoyl chloride <1998S1615>, or 2-chloro-2-phenylacetophenone <2000CC2039> to form symmetric, dialkylation products. The monoalkylated product 4-alkylthio-1,3-dithiol2-thione was obtained from the zinc complex of 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate using electrophilic reagents in the presence of 3-picolylchloride hydrochloride or 4-picolyl chloride hydrochloride or pyridine hydrochloride <2001OL1941>. The treatment of the 4,5-diphenacyl-1,3-dithiol-2-thiones obtained in this manner with Lawsson’s reagent in refluxing toluene led to the formation of six-membered heterocycles when R was Ph or 4-NO2Ph, and to the fused thiophene derivative when R was 4-MeOPh <1996TL2821>. Similarly, the condensation of dicesium 2-thioxo-1,3-thiol-4,5-diselenolate with bisalkylating polythioethers in high dilution leads to a number of thiaselena crown compounds <1996LCS(P1)1995>.

Thiocarbonyl Derivatives with Two Nitrogen Functions From isothiocyanates

The addition reaction of amines to isothiocyanates still continues to be the most general access to a wide array of thiourea derivatives (Equation (1)). In this section, some recent results concerning new improvements as well as the application in the synthesis of molecules of interest are highlighted. 545

Recently, Fuentes and co-workers <2002JOC2577> have reported the synthesis of thioureylene di-C-nucleosides, a new type of dinucleotide analog, based on the addition of amines to isothiocyanates (Scheme 1). Thus, the reaction of 30 -amino-C-nucleosides with 30 -isothiocyanatoC-nucleosides, which are in turn formed by reaction of the corresponding amine nucleosides with thiocarbonyldiimidazole (TCDI), produces thioureylene di-C-nucleosides in very high to quantitative yields.

In a study focused on nonbiarylatropoisomers derived from carbohydrates, Palacios and co-workers <1999T4377> have described a facile access to chiral cyclic thioureas, specifically 2-aryl-5-hydroxyimidazolidine-2-thiones, in moderate yields via addition of D-glucosamine to aryl isothiocyanates (aryl = 2-FC6H4, 2-ClC6H4, 2-BrC6H4) (Scheme 2). A related reaction involving D-fructosamines with different sugar isothiocyanates has been released <2000TA435>.

Scheme 2

A high-yielding synthesis of guanidium derivatives from ethyl carbamate protected thioureas was reported. The latter were in turn prepared by addition of amines to ethyl thiocyanato formate <2002TL565>. Some modern techniques have been incorporated for the synthesis of the thiourea functional group in order to overcome inherent difficulties found in the traditional methods. For instance, fluorous electrophilic scavengers for solution-phase synthesis have been successfully tested (Scheme 3) <2003TL2065>. Thus, fluorous isatoic anhydride 1 and isocyanate 2 are used as scavengers for amines in solution-phase synthesis of thioureas from isothiocyanates and excess of primary and secondary amines. The fluorous derivatives thus formed are readily separated from the reaction mixture by solid-phase extraction (SPE) over fluorous silica. The yields are in general high, particularly with the fluorous scavenger 1, and the purity greater than 95% after the scavenging operation.

In addition, solid-state reactions have also become promising in the thiourea system synthesis. Thus, Kaupp and co-workers <2000T6899> have reported a series of solid-state reactions between solid or gaseous amines and solid isothiocyanates to produce substituted thioureas in quantitative yields (100% yield, 53 examples) (Scheme 4). Except for washing in a few cases, the reaction does not require work-up, and allows for upscaling to the kilogram scale. S

The high-pressure technique has been applied in the preparation of a number of thioureas derived from aryl- and cyclohexyl-substituted isothiocyanates and different amino-substituted pyridines and diazines (Scheme 5) <2002TL1035>. The yield of the high-pressure reaction is significantly higher (67%) than that of the thermal reaction (29% along with 38% of N,N0 -diphenylthiourea) as it was found for the model components 4-aminopyridine and phenyl isothiocyanate.

Cyclic thioureas, particularly thiohydantoins, have attracted much attention mostly because of their biological properties. A practical eco-friendly procedure for the synthesis of 2-thiohydantoins and 5-alkylamino-2-thiohydantoins has been developed recently using the solvent-less

Thus, the reaction of methylglycinate hydrochloride with isothiocyanates in refluxing diethyl ether or ethyl acetate gives rise to simple 2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-ones, which are in turn transformed into 5-aminomethylidene derivatives by treatment with dimethylformamide diethylacetal (DMF-DEA) under solventless microwave irradiation.

The preparation of the target molecules involves reductive amination of ethyl 3-formylindole-2-carboxylate with various amino acid esters followed by cyclization with isothiocyanates and ester hydrolysis (Scheme 7) <2003JMC64>. i.

In the course of studies directed to the total synthesis of batzelladine alkaloids, Elliot and co-workers have reported a short access to substituted pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1-thiones (Scheme 8) <2002TL9191>. First, the necessary alkenyl pyrrolidine substrate is obtained from glutamic acid in five steps. Then, the key annulation step is based on the previous report by Kishi <1992JA7001> and is accomplished by the three-component reaction of alkenyl pyrrolidine, silicon tetraisothiocyanate, and acetaldehyde at room temperature.

(Scheme 9) <2002AG(E)3674>. Thus, the cyclodimerization of diisothiocyanate and diamino disaccharides can be effected in moderate yield by mild heating in pyridine. The cyclotrimerization product is obtained from the acyclic thiourea dimer containing two isothiocyanate moieties, which is directly available by homocoupling of the corresponding diisothiocyanate disaccharide (vide infra, Scheme 14). Thus, the addition of the diamine disaccharide to the diisothiocyanate substrate affords moderate to high yields of the final cyclic pseudohexasaccharide. SCN

The preparation of thiourea-functionalized resorcinarene cavitands, a novel class of neutral anion receptors, is also feasible starting from either isothiocyanate- or amine-containing cavitands (Scheme 10) <1998JOC4174>. Thus, the reaction of the tetrakis[aminomethyl]cavitands with alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates R2-NCS allows one to isolate the corresponding tetrakis[thioureamethyl]cavitands in 27–63% yield. Conversely, a new cavitand is obtained in two steps and moderate overall yield by conversion of the aminocavitand into the isothiocyanate derivative followed by addition of the primary amine R3-NH2. The use of macrocyclic thioureas as efficient anion receptors has been extended to a variety of cyclophane-based structures. In this sense, different types of systems such as ortho–meta, meta– meta, and meta–para cyclophanes have been synthesized (Scheme 11) <2000JOC275>. The required starting materials are the 1,3-[bis(aminomethyl)]-4-,6-di-t-butylbenzene and the corresponding o-, m-, and p-bis(isothiocyanatomethyl)benzenes. The macrocyclization takes place in low-to-high yields by heating at 60 C in chloroform under high dilution conditions. Other examples using thiourea receptors with a rigid xanthene spacer have been reported <1997T1647>. In addition, a series of fluorescent naphthylthioureas containing hydroxymethyl groups have been synthesized from naphthyl isothiocyanates and -hydroxyamines <2003TL795>. A new macrocyclic system containing oligoethyleneglycol chain and thiourea moieties has been prepared and their binding ability toward dihydrogenphosphate anion and several cations investigated (Scheme 12) <2003TL8183>. The synthesis of the target molecule involves the reaction of the tetraazathiapentalene derivative, prepared from the bis(pyrimidine-2-thione) and methyl isothiocyanate, with the corresponding diisothiocyanate followed by heating with base. A number of thiourea-based compounds have been found to display an array of biological properties. Since thioureas are known to raise the HDL cholesterol, some functionalized systems with a thiourea moiety embedded in a functionalized side chain, for instance those having a -carboxylic acid group, have been prepared (Scheme 13) <2002BMC2439>. Thus, the addition of acyclic N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)--amino acid esters or cyclic -amino acid esters to aromatic isothiocyanates in methanol provides the corresponding N-thiocarbamoyl--amino acid esters in moderate-to-high yields.

Additional examples of biologically active thioureas derived from isoquinolines, pyrrolidines, and aryl ethylamines have been reported recently. Among them, thioureas with antispasmodic activity <2001MI129> as well as thioureas with antagonist effect on a vanilloid receptor are worth noting <2003BMC197, 2003BMC601>. On the other hand, isothiocyanates can be readily transformed into the corresponding symmetric N,N0 -disubstituted thioureas upon treatment with pyridine water. The reaction is very well suited for those cases where the required amines are not accessible. The amine-free mechanism very likely involves thiocarbamic anhydrides as reactive intermediates (Scheme 14) <1999S1907>. This practical procedure has been applied by the authors not only to the synthesis of simple and carbohydrate-derived thioisocyanates, but also to more complex systems like cyclotetrahalins via macrocyclization of the corresponding oligosaccharide isothiocyanates (Scheme 14) <2002AG(E)3674>.

During the last years some attention has been paid to the solid-phase synthesis of thioureas. For instance, the traceless synthesis of thioureas reported by Sim begins with the amination of the bromo-Wang resin followed by the addition of isothiocyanates. The thiourea unit was liberated from the resulting resin-bound thiourea by treatment with 50% TFA in CH2Cl2 (Scheme 15) <2001SL697>. While the overall yields are high, the observed purity is rather low (13–51%). An analogous synthesis of isoxazoline thioureas using the chloro-Wang resin is also known <2000TL5069>.

Thiohydantoins are in turn available by solid-phase synthesis via polymer-supported amines as depicted in Scheme 16. Thus, the sodium polystyrylsulfinate reacts with 2-choloroethanol to give a polystyrylethanol resin which is coupled with protected glycine to afford, after deprotection, the corresponding resin-bound -amino acid. The latter is added to phenyl isothiocyanate and the resulting thiourea subjected to basic or acid treatment to provide acyclic and cyclic thioureas, respectively <2001TL1973>.

Using a similar strategy, a high-yielding microwave-assisted synthesis of substituted thiohydantoins has been accomplished. In this process, Fmoc-protected -amino acids were coupled with HO-PEG-OH, deprotected, and reacted with isothiocyanates. After base-mediated cyclization, the thiohydantoin system was liberated from the matrix under microwave exposure <2003TL8739>. The preparation of substituted isoxazolethiohydantoins has also been reported from hydroxypropyloxymethylpolystyrene, alkynyl glycine, and isothiocyanates <1999JOC9297>. Moreover, it has been released an efficient solid-phase synthesis of quinazoline-2-thioxo-4-ones using SynPhaseTM lanterns supports <2000TL8333>.

The solid-phase addition of triazenes to isothiocyanates has been designed as an efficient route to a new type of thioureas, which have been further elaborated into guanidines. The starting polymer-bound triazenes are prepared by addition of primary amines to the T2* diazonium resin <2000OL3563>.

6.18.1.1.2

From carbon disulfide

The dithiocarbamic acid unit represents a suitable thiocarbamoyl transfer agent (see Section 6.18.1.1.8). In most cases they are not commercially available and must be prepared. In this way, Tomkinson and co-workers <1998TL1673> have reported a simple, high-yielding procedure for the synthesis of thioureas in two steps from carbon disulfide, via amination of dithiocarbamic acids (Scheme 17). Thus, the reaction of primary or secondary aliphatic amines with carbon disulfide results in the formation of the corresponding dithiocarbamic acids, which then undergo amination upon treatment with primary or secondary 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamides. This method thus provides access to symmetrical and unsymmetrical di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted thioureas.

Very recently, an efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical diaminocarbene ligands via reduction of unsymmetrical imidazolidine-2-thiones has been reported <2003AG(E)5243>. The methodology for the preparation of that type of cyclic thiourea was developed by Albrecht in 1994 by using lithium N-butyl-N-lithiomethyldithiocarbamates, readily available from N-methyl butylamine and carbon disulfide. The process consists of addition of the C-nucleophilic center of the dithiocarbamate to the imine followed by cyclization (Scheme 18) <1994S719>. R2

The synthesis of thioureas, as ‘‘en route’’ synthesis of modified chiral guanidines, has also been achieved by means of carbon disulfide itself as the thiocarbonyl source. Thus, Ishikawa and co-workers <2000JOC7774> have obtained a number of unsymmetrical thioureas resulting from sequential amination of CS2 with a primary amine—via the corresponding isothiocyanate—and an enantiopure diamine (Scheme 20). Application of this strategy to the synthesis of thioureido cyclodextrins by Ph3Pmediated coupling of CS2 (‘‘phosphinimine’’ approach) with cyclodextrin amines and primary amines has been executed by Marsuda and co-workers <1999TL6581, 2003TL1533>. i.

From thiocarbonyl transfer reagents

The double amination of appropriately designed thiocarbonyl synthons is currently another useful synthetic route for building up the thiourea functionality. In this sense, 1-(methyldithiocarbonyl) imidazole 3 and its N-methyl quaternary salt 4 have become efficient thiocarbonyl transfer reagents for the synthesis of a diversity of thioureas (Scheme 23) <2000T629>. Thus, symmetrical disubstituted thioureas are formed by refluxing an ethanol solution of either transfer reagent 3 or 4 with primary amines in a molar ratio of 1:2; moreover, the use of diamines, e.g., 1,2-diaminobenzene and ethylenediamine, provides the corresponding cyclic thioureas. Unsymmetrical di- and trisubstituted thioureas are accessible in very high yields by the sequential treatment of either dithiocarbonyl derivative 3 or 4 with 1 equiv. of a primary amine and 1 equiv. of a primary or secondary amine, respectively, in refluxing ethanol.

Alternatively, 1,1-thiocarbonyl diimidazole (TCDI) can be regarded as a very common thiocarbonyl transfer reagent to synthesize either symmetrical or unsymmetrical thioureas. Thus, various substituted N-pyridylthioureas with anti-HIV activity have been made accordingly, as illustrated in Scheme 24 <1999BMC2721>. The thioureas resulting from primary amines, TCDI, and 1,2-diaminoarenes are immediate precursors of valuable 2-(alkylamino)benzimidazoles <1999TL1103>. i. TCDI acetonitrile

In a similar way, the solid-phase syntheses of 1,3-disubstituted 2-thioxoquinazoline-4-ones from resin-bound 2-aminobenzamides- <2001TL1749> and of bis-2-imidazolidinethiones from resin-bound tripeptides have been undertaken <2000OL3349>.

Pentafluorophenyl chlorothioformate has been used as thiocarbonyl transfer agent in the solution and solid-phase synthesis of N-bromobenzyl-N0 -sulfonylthioureas (Scheme 26) <2003JOC1611>. The use of the sulfonamide PbfNH2, as the key reagent to incorporate a TFA-labile guanidine protection group, greatly facilitates the solid-phase synthesis of N,N0 -substituted guanidine compounds.

From thiocyanate salts and alkyl thiocyanates

The thiocyanate salts represent an attractive alternative to isothiocyanates, particularly when they are difficult to prepare, as it was demonstrated in the past. Recently, the general procedure has been improved and the scope enhanced by Meckler and co-workers <2000S1569>. In this case, high yields of primary monosubstituted or symmetrical N,N0 -disubstituted thioureas can be reached by refluxing potassium thiocyanate and amine hydrochloride in THF or xylenes, respectively (Scheme 28). This approach tolerates sterically bulky primary amines and the resulting thioureas are usually isolated by a simple filtration of the reaction mixture.

Glycopyranosylidene spirothiohydantoins have been prepared from per-O-acetylated 1-bromo1-deoxy--D-glycopyranosacarboxamide, which is in turn available by radical-mediated bromination of the corresponding glycopyranosyl cyanide (Scheme 29) <2001JMC2843>. Heating of a nitromethane solution of the bromoamide and potassium thiocyanate in the presence of a small amount of elemental sulfur resulted in the formation of the spirothiohydantoins in good yields. According to the authors, the reaction probably initiates by a single-electron transfer (SET) from thiocyanate to the bromoamide and involves the coupling of the radicals in the solvent cage.

Thus, these allyl thiocyanates, which are readily accessible from chiral aminoallylic alcohols, lead to the observed cyclic thioureas by a thermal domino reaction consisting of a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement followed by stereocontrolled intramolecular amine addition to the isothiocyanate functionality.

The one-pot synthesis of a series of N-substituted 1-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-thiones was carried out starting from cheap materials such as hydrazines, -bromoketones, and potassium thiocyanate and their anti-HIV and anti-SIV activity studied (Scheme 31) <2003JMC1546>. The mechanism proposed by the authors is outlined in the scheme and involves the [3+2]cycloaddition of 1,2-diazadienes and isothiocyanic acid leading to an azomethine imine dipole as the key step. Finally, the [1,4]-H shift would complete the mechanistic pathway. Alternatively, 1,2,4-triazepine-3-thiones are formed by refluxing in DMF, a mixture of ,-unsaturated ketones and hydrazinediium dithiocyanate <2002TL7481>.

Overall, the initially formed 1,2-diazadiene undergoes two consecutive [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions to isothiocyanic acid in a ‘‘crisscross’’ fashion (Scheme 32) <1998SL786>.

Moreover, Takahashi and Miyadai reported the ‘‘criss-cross’’ cycloaddition of 1,4-diazadienes to trimethylsilylisothiocyanates, as masked isothiocyanic acid, affording moderate yields of perhydroimidazo[4,5-d ]imidazole-2,5-dithiones (Scheme 33) <1990H883>. Later, Pota´cek and co-workers <2002TL4833> undertook a detailed study of the ‘‘criss-cross’’ cycloaddition of 1,4-diazadienes with mixtures of isothiocyanic acid and isocyanic acid, generated in situ from potassium salts and acetic acid (Scheme 33). Although, mixtures of 2,5-dithione and 5-thioxo-2-one derivatives were formed, they found the isothiocyanic acid to be more reactive, the mixed derivatives being best obtained by slow addition of a 2:1 mixture of cyanate/thiocyanate salts to the aldazine in acetic acid.

Nitrosothioureas serve as a useful source of the thiocarbamoyl unit. Thus, the room temperature treatment of aliphatic primary and secondary amines with N-nitroso-1,3-dimethylthiourea (DMNT) leads to very high yields of N-methylthioureas. Starting with N-nitroso-1,3,3-trimethylthiourea (TMNT), the analogous N,N-dimethylthioureas are produced again in high yields (Scheme 34) <1999TL1957>.

Thus, when 2-amino-3-carbethoxy4,6-dimethylpyridine was reacted with various methyl N-aryldithiocarbamates in DMF, the expected thiourea derivatives formed and spontaneously cyclized to 3-substituted 2-thioxo-5,7-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-ones in 55–69% yields.

Thioglycolic acid (a thiocarbamoyl transfer agent which is readily available from carbon disulfide, a primary or secondary amine and sodium chloroacetate salt) affords aminothiocarbonyl hydrazines upon refluxing with hydrazine hydrate in a basic medium. Their thiosemicarbazones were synthesized by refluxing in water with an alcoholic solution of 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde (Scheme 36) <2002BMC3475>. The overall process takes place with moderate yields and some of the resulting products show significant antimoebic or antitrichomonal activity.

The direct introduction of sulfur from S8 into diaminocarbenes—the so-called Arduengo carbene ligands—can be regarded as a useful entry into cyclic thioureas. Thus, Bildstein and co-workers have reported the preparation of imidazolinethiones, imidazolethiones, and benzimidazolethiones by treatment of the corresponding azolium salts with base and elemental sulfur (Scheme 37) <1999OM4325, 1999JOM(572)177>.

The employment of ammonium sulfide for a convenient cyclization of -cyano--(dichloromethyleneimino)alkanoic acids, available from the corresponding isocyanides and chlorine, into 5,5-disubstituted 2,4-dithiohydantoins has been described a few years ago (Scheme 39) <1998S1437>. The reaction is proposed to occur by addition of sulfide and cyclization to a thiazole ring followed by ring opening and new closure.

In 1998 thioketones were first developed as efficient sulfur transfer agents towards azole N-oxides providing a new synthetic method for the thiourea function (Scheme 40) <1998HCA1585>. Thus, substituted imidazole 3-oxides react with some thioketones (2,2,4,4tetramethyl-cyclobuta-1,3-dithione, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl–1-thioxo-cyclobutan-2-one, and adamantine-2-thione) to give imidazole-2(3H)-thiones in high yield. Triazole oxides can also be transformed equally well into triazolethiones. O– N

Taking advantage of this procedure, Laufer and co-workers <2002AG(E)2290> have synthesized a structurally diverse imidazole thiones during their studies directed to develop new inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase with a 4,5-disubstituted alkylthioimidazole framework (Scheme 41). The required imidazole oxides are obtained in high yields by refluxing in ethanol a mixture of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)hydroximinoethan-2-one and the corresponding 1,3,5-trisubstituted hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine. In the course of their studies of adenosine-derived monomeric building blocks for new oligonucleosides, Gunji and Vasella <2000HCA1331> showed the ability of N-phenylthiourea as sulfur-transfer agent to 2-halogenoimidazoles (Scheme 42). Thus, the 2-chloro and 2-iodo nucleosides were transformed into the corresponding thioxo nucleosides upon heating with N-phenylthiourea at 60 C. Molina and co-workers <2000TL4895> have reported a rather unexpected sulfur-transfer reaction from carbon disulfide which is the basis of a new synthesis of dihydroquinazoline2-thiones (Scheme 43). The process comprises the intramolecular heteroconjugate addition of

aromatic carbodiimides bearing an o-substituted ,-unsaturated carbonyl fragment promoted by the carbon disulfide/tetrabutylammonium fluoride. The mechanism proposed by the authors nicely accounts for the complex transformation and involves cyclization induced by attack of the S-nucleophile fluorodithioformate, generated from CS2-TBAF, followed by thioacyl fluoride hydrolysis and fragmentation to the thione group and C(S)O.

Thiocarbonyl Derivatives with One Nitrogen and One Phosphorus Function From isothiocyanates

The addition of the PH bond of phosphines to isothiocyanates, as well as the lone pair of substituted phosphines, continues to be the most valuable method for preparing phosphinothioformamides. For instance, bis(2-phenethyl)phosphine adds to 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate under thermal reaction conditions to produce the expected N-(2-vinyloxyethyl thiocarbamoyl)phosphine in excellent yield. Similarly, the addition of the phosphine oxide analog to the isothiocyanate and stirring in refluxing benzene results in the formation of the corresponding N-(2-vinyloxyethylthiocarbamoyl)phosphine oxide (Scheme 45) <1999JOU212>.

Phosphines bound to transition metals have frequently been reacted with isothiocyanates in order to effect structural modification on the coordination sphere in phosphine-containing metal complexes. Malisch and co-workers <1998ZN(B)1084> have prepared various P-mesitylferrio(thiocarbamoyl)phosphines by reaction of P-mesitylferriophosphine with alkyl and phenyl isothiocyanates (Scheme 46). The thiocarbamoylphosphines thus obtained were in turn P-alkylated with alkyl halides or oxidized with elemental sulfur. In addition, the authors communicated that the ferrio-(t-butyl)phosphine analog reacts with 2 equiv. of methyl and ethyl isothiocyanate to produce P-thiocarbamoylphosphametallacycles (Scheme 46). The formation of these adducts can be rationalized by formal [3+2]-cyclization of isothiocyanate and the metal complex, via the phosphine and CO ligands, followed by insertion of the second molecule of heterocumulene into the PH bond <1998JOM(568)247>. Molybdenum and tungsten phosphenium complexes Cp(CO)2M¼PH-t-Bu undergo a [2+2]cycloaddition reaction to alkyl isothiocyanates furnishing the four-membered phosphametallacycles. Furthermore, insertion of the isothiocyanate into the PH bond of these systems occurs and the corresponding thiocarbamoyl phosphine derivatives are obtained in high yields (Scheme 47) <2000JOM(595)285>. In a closely related process, deprotonation of the dinuclear phosphine complex shown in Scheme 47, followed by addition of phenyl isothiocyanate and nitrogen protonation gives the expected complex in 85% yield <2000OM984>. The ferrio-diphenylphosphine Cp(CO)(PMe3)Fe-PPh2, formed from Cp(CO)2Fe-PPh2 by CO/ PMe3 ligand exchange, readily adds to methyl isothiocyanate giving rise, after protonation with triflic acid, to the cationic open-chain thiocarbamoylphosphine iron complex (Scheme 48) <1998ZN(B)1077>. Structurally related complexes of iron and ruthenium, formed in situ by deprotonation of their cationic precursors with KO-t-Bu, add to methyl isothiocyanate to

565

generate an open-chain adduct, which suffers further cyclization by means of nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl ligand (Scheme 48) <1998JOM(568)241>. The corresponding acyclic addition product would be available by acid treatment.

Interestingly, the PSi bond is capable of inserting into the C¼N bond of isothiocyanates in the same way as does the PH bond.

Miscellaneous methods

Renard and Mioskowski have utilized various phosphorus reagents to create phosphorus–sulfur bonds. Accordingly, the synthesis of a number of phosphonothioates is readily achieved by the reaction of the phosphorus precursors with alkylthiocyanates in the presence of the hindered, nonnucleophilic base phosphazene P4-t-Bu (Scheme 54, via A) <2002CEJ2910>. Unexpectedly, the heating of ethoxyphenyl phosphinate with cyclohexylthiocyanate in the presence of diisopropylethylamine, instead of phosphazene, results in the exclusive formation of the (cyclohexylamine)thioxomethyl phosphinate derivative (via B). Obviously, the formation of the thiocarbamoylphosphine derivative requires that the phosphorus–carbon bond formation be preceded by the thermal isomerization of cyclohexylthiocyanate to cyclohexylisothiocyanate.

Thus, the starting disulfide-containing dinuclear complex 5 transformed instantaneously into the sulfenyl iodide mononuclear complex 6 upon treatment with 1 equiv. of iodine. Further iodide abstraction by using either excess of iodine or TlPF6 produces the desired diphosphanylthioketone complex 7. The direct conversion of the disulfide 5 into 7 was accomplished by oxidation of the sulfur–sulfur bond with 2 equiv. of AgBF4.

Biographical sketch

Jose´ Barluenga studied chemistry at the University of Zaragoza and received his doctorate in 1966. He spent three and a half years as a postdoctoral research fellow of the Max Planck Gesellschaft at the Max Planck Institut fu¨r Kohlenforschung (Mu¨lheim a.d. Ruhr, Germany) in the group of Professor H. Hoberg. In 1970 he became Research Associate at the University of Zaragoza where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1972. In 1975 he moved to the University of Oviedo as Professor in Organic Chemistry, where he is currently Director of the Instituto Universitario de Quı´ mica Organometa´lica ‘‘Enrique Moles.’’ His major research interest is focused on developing new synthetic methodologies in organic chemistry by means of organometallic reagents as well as iodine-based systems.

Eduardo Rubio (Logron˜o, Spain, 1959) received his B.A. degree in Oviedo and got his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professors Barluenga and Toma´s in 1989. He carried out postdoctoral studies at MIT (Alex Klibanov, enzymes in organic solvents, 1989–1990) and at the University of California, Berkeley (Peter Vollhardt, organic synthesis mediated by organometallic reagents, 1990–1991). He returned to the University of Oviedo and got a position as Profesor Titular in 1996. From 2000 he is the secretary of the Instituto Universitario de Quı´ mica Organometa´lica ‘‘Enrique Moles,’’ where he continues his research. His main research interests are synthetic and mechanistic chemistry and the application of NMR to the study of reaction mechanisms.

OVERVIEW

As previously reported in chapter 6.19, COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)587>, seleno- and tellurocarbonyl derivatives of common carbonyl-based functional groups are much less well known than their corresponding oxygen or sulfur analogs. The comparative rarity of the seleno- and tellurocarbonyl compounds has been primarily due to their decreased stability as a result of poor -overlap in C¼Se and C¼Te bonds. In the period 1993–2003 ingenious use of new reactions and novel reagents have made previously rare structures much more readily available for investigation. Particularly noteworthy in this period are reports of hypervalent halogen adducts of selenocarbonyl compounds, a topic not originally covered in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)587>. 573

Functions Containing a Selenocarbonyl or Tellurocarbonyl Group SELENO- AND TELLUROCARBONYL FUNCTIONS CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE ATTACHED HALOGEN Seleno- and Tellurocarbonyl Compounds Containing Two Attached Halogen Atoms

Compounds containing a halogen atom directly attached to a seleno- or tellurocarbonyl function remain quite rare <1995COFGT(6)587>. Both selenocarbonyl difluoride 1 and tellurocarbonyl difluoride 2 have been prepared by careful reaction of mercury salts with Lewis acid. Both of these compounds are unstable and rapidly dimerize. The reactivity of the tellurocarbonyl compound greatly exceeds that of the corresponding selenocarbonyl species. An improved method for the preparation of monomeric tellurocarbonyl difluoride involves pyrolysis of the stannyl telluride (Equation (1)) <1993JCS(D)2547>. Dimerization to the corresponding ditelluretane rapidly occurs at temperatures above 77 K. Co-condensation of 1 and 2 affords the mixed selenium– tellurium dimer. In situ generated tellurocarbonyl difluoride can also be trapped as its cycloaddition product with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene (Scheme 1).

Selenophosgene 3 has been suggested as an intermediate in Willgerodt–Kindler-type reactions of trichloroacetic acid or chloroform with base and elemental selenium in the presence of amines to form selenoureas <1996BCJ2235> (see Equation (30)).

Seleno- and Tellurocarbonyl Compounds Containing One Attached Halogen Atom

N,N-Dimethylselenocarbamoyl chloride 4 can be prepared quantitatively by treatment of dichloromethylene dimethyliminium chloride with lithium aluminum dihydroselenide (Equation (2)) <2002JOC1008>. This selenocarbamoyl chloride is an extremely useful reagent for the preparation of diselenocarbamates, thioselenocarbamates, and selenoureas (see Sections 6.19.3.5 and 6.19.4.1). The conversion of other dialkyliminium salts into the corresponding selenocarbamoyl chlorides should significantly simplify the preparation of a variety of other interesting selenocarbonyl compounds.

A number of unstable selenocarbonyl fluorides can be prepared by treatment of perfluorinated mercuric selenides with diethylaluminum iodide or aluminum iodide (Equation (3)) <1991CB51>. These compounds rapidly polymerize, but the polymers upon heating can be converted to the monomeric or dimeric materials.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of perfluorinated trimethyltin tellurides affords isolable tellurocarbonyl fluorides which dimerize at low temperature to the corresponding ditelluretanes 5 (Equation (4)) <1996JCS(D)4463, 2000JCS(D)11>. The tellurocarbonyl fluorides can also be trapped as their cycloadducts with dienes (Equation (5)) <1997PS(124)413>. Although no tellurocarbonyl analogs of acyl chlorides have been reported, the ‘‘dimeric’’ dichloroditelluretane 6 can be isolated by reaction of the difluoro compound with boron trichloride (Equation (6)).

Dialkoxy-substituted selenocarbonyl compounds remain quite rare in the literature <1995COFGT(6)587>. O,O-Diethylselenocarbonate 7 has been prepared from tetraethylorthocarbonate by the use of bis(dimethylaluminum)selenide (Equation (7)) <1992TL7865>. Attempts at using this reagent for the direct conversion of the carbonyl group to the selenocarbonyl group in other related compounds were unsuccessful.

Dithio-substituted Selenocarbonates (RS)2C¼Se

A variety of synthetic routes have been available for the preparation of cyclic dithio-substituted selenocarbonates, important precursors for the synthesis of tetrathiafulvalenes <1995COFGT(6)587>. A number of routes for the preparation of these selenocarbonates start from the corresponding thiocarbonyl compounds. Selective S-alkylation followed by treatment with sodium hydrogen selenide affords the desired selenocarbonyl derivatives in good yield (Equation (8)) <1994JOC5324, 1998JOC8865>. Some additional examples of this transformation in the preparation of various complex dithio-substituted selenocarbonates have also appeared (Equation (9)) <1997JOC1903, 1998JOC8865>. The utilization of the selenocarbonate–diene intermediate 8 appears to be a particularly interesting approach for the introduction of the dithioselenocarbonate moiety into complex molecules (Scheme 3) <2002JMAC2137>.

The thiocarbonyl group of a cyclic trithiocarbonate group can also be converted to the corresponding selenocarbonyl moiety using triethyl orthoformate in the alkylation step (Scheme 4) <1994CHE652>. Subsequent base promoted cyclization afforded thieno[2,3-d]-1,3-dithiol-2-selone 9. Related heterocyclic dithioselenocarbonates could be readily incorporated into the corresponding complex tetrathiafulvalenes <1992CHE945, 1994CHE1116>. A variety of complex heterocyclic dithioselenocarbonates have also been prepared using the reaction of N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamate salts with sodium hydrogen selenide (Schemes 5 and 6) <1992CHE941, 1993CHE1316, 1993CHE1432>.

A novel approach to the preparation of the unsymmetrical triselenocarbonate 11 involves metallation of the protected acetylene followed by consecutive treatment of the lithium salt with selenium, carbon diselenide, and methyl iodide (Equation (10)) <1998JOC8865>. A variety of other triselenocarbonate derivatives <1997SL319> including bridged bis(1,3-diselenole-2-selones) 12 have also been prepared using this procedure (Equation (11)) <1998AG(E)619>. OTHP

This lithium intermediate can also be generated by metallation of 1,2-dichlorovinylmethyl sulfide <2003JOC5217>.

Selenocarbonyl Functions Flanked by Two Different Chalcogen Atoms RX(C¼Se)Y

Compounds with the selenocarbonyl group attached to two different chalcogen atoms have until the late 1990s been relatively rare <1995COFGT(6)587>. Increased interest in mixed fulvalene derivatives has led to novel approaches for the preparation of these compounds. The abovementioned metallation route to diselenole-2-selones (Section 6.19.3.3, Equations (10)–(13)) can be readily applied to the preparation of the corresponding sulfur–selenium heterocycles. Treatment of the protected lithiated acetylene with sulfur followed by carbon diselenide and selenium and trapping with ethyl iodide affords the desired selenocarbonate 14 (Equation (15) <2002JOC4218>. This method was also used for the preparation of novel 1,3-selenatellurole2-selones such as 15 (Equation (16)) <1997CC1925, 2001PS(171–172)231>. Extension of this reaction to other substituted acetylenic precursors and trapping with various electrophiles should make this method a very versatile route to the mixed chalcogen-substituted selones.

A variety of methods have been described for the preparation of selenocarbonyl derivatives of urethanes <1995COFGT(6)587>. Since 1995 there has been significantly increased interest in developing new synthetic methods in this area. Treatment of N,N-dimethylselenocarbamoyl chloride (Section 6.19.2.2) with readily prepared lithium thiolates and selenolates provides a convenient route to N,N-dimethylamino-substituted thioseleno- and diselenocarbamates (Scheme 12) <2002JOC1008>.

Chiral oxazolidine-2-selones have proved to be useful as derivatizing agents for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) determination of chirality due to the extraordinary sensitivity of the 77 Se chemical shift to the chemical environment. Details of the preparation of a variety of these compounds by directed metallation of readily available 2-oxazolines have been reported <1994JOC4977>. (4S,5R)-4-methyl-5-phenyl-oxazolidin-2-selone 20 has proved to be particularly useful for determination of chirality <1994TA1627, 1995TA833, 1995JOC5540, 1996CC1125, 2002TA835>. The rapid reaction of this compound with an acid chloride or with an acid in the presence of a coupling reagent affords chiral oxazolidine-2-selones suitable for NMR analysis (Scheme 14) <1994TA1627, 1994TL1329, 1999JA10478>.

Acyl selenoureidocarbonitrile 29, readily prepared by reaction of the corresponding nitrile with an acyl isoselenocyanate (Section 6.19.4.1, Equation (33)) can be readily cyclized to the corresponding fused selenopyrimidine 30 (Equation (40)) <1999CCC1673>. It is interesting that very slight structural changes can lead to the tautomeric selenol form 31 being observed as the exclusive product of this reaction (Equation (41)). NH2

Telluroureas (R2N)2C¼Te

A series of stable cyclic telluroureas have been conveniently prepared in excellent yields by the reaction of the stable carbene imidazol-2-ylidenes 34 with elemental tellurium (Equation (42)) <1993CB2047, 1997JA12742>. The special stability of the 2-telluroimidazolines is probably due to the major resonance contributor 35. R1

Reactions of electron-rich tetraaminoethylenes with tellurium also afford telluroureas (Equation (43)) <1996AF1154>.

Another stable carbene approach to telluroureas parallels the previously described carbene route to selenoureas (cf. Section 6.9.4.1, Scheme 22). Treatment of the bromide salt 36 with base in the presence of tellurium affords the tellurourea in 87% yield (Equation (44)) <2000EJI1935>.

HYPERVALENT SELENOCARBONYL COMPOUNDS OF THE TYPE Se¼C(X)X0

The reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-4-imidazolin-2-selone with molecular iodine affords a stable hypervalent selenocarbonyl compound 1,3-dimethyl-4-imidazolin-2-ylium diiodoselanide 37 characterized by a linear ISeI arrangement of atoms (Equation (45)) <1994G445>. A similar linear BrSeBr arrangement was noted when the same imidazolin-selone was treated with bromine <1998EJI137>. When the 1,10 -bis(3-methyl-4-imidazolin-2-selone)methane 38 was treated with iodine a linear IISe structure (39) was observed <1994G445> in contrast to linear BrSeBr structures noted for other bis-halo adducts with other selenoureas (Equation (46)) <1998EJI137>.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter covers methods of synthesis of a wide range of iminocarbonyl compounds that have two heteroatoms attached to the carbon of the iminocarbonyl function. Only a few new methods for the preparation of these compounds have been described since the earlier review (chapter 6.20 in <1995COFGT(6)601>). The new methods, and new examples of the more important general methods, are described here. 595

6.20.2.1

Iminocarbonyl Compounds with Two Similar Halogen Functions

Compounds having the formula XYC¼NR (X,Y = halogen) are named as carbonimidic dihalides under the IUPAC nomenclature system. They are also commonly referred to as isocyanide dihalides or as iminocarbonyl dihalides in the literature. The most detailed review of methods of preparation of carbonimidic dihalides is by Ku¨hle <1983HOU(E4)522>. The majority of compounds of this type bear two similar halogen functions. The most common compounds of this class are carbonimidic dichlorides (X,Y = Cl) and several have been found as natural products in marine organisms; these include examples that have been described since the publication of COFGT (1995) <1999JNP1339, 2001JNP111, 2001JNP939>. The general methods available for compounds in this class remain those described in chapter 60.20.1.1 in <1995COFGT(6)601>; new examples of these methods and a few new specific methods are described in the following sections. There are no new reports of methods for dihaloiminium cations or for carbonimidic diiodides. 6.20.2.1.1

Carbonimidic difluorides, F2C¼NR

Methods for the preparation of carboimidic difluorides are those described in chapter 60.20.1.1.1 in <1995COFGT(6)601>. The most general of these methods are summarized briefly in Scheme 1. Further examples of the conversion of carbonimidic dichlorides into carbonimidic difluorides (method B) have been described <2001JFC(109)123>. A further illustration of method D is the preparation of perfluorinated carbonimidic difluorides by the dechlorination of the perhaloalkane 1 with a catalytic amount of trimethyltin chloride (Equation (1)) <1995AG(E)586>.

Carbonimidic dichlorides, Cl2C¼NR

The most general methods for the preparation of carbonimidic dichlorides are summarized in Scheme 2. All these methods were described in chapter 60.20.1.1.2 in <1995COFGT(6)601>. A few publications that include some experimental detail have appeared with additional examples of some of these methods. Thus, some new N-arylcarbonimidic dichlorides have been prepared by the reaction of aryl isothiocyanates with chlorine (method A) <1997SC2645>. A new exchange reaction has been used to prepare 2-biphenylylcarbonimidic dichloride from the corresponding dibromide (Equation (3)) <1995CC2295>. Cl2 S

The addition of bromine to isocyanides (Equation (4)) is the most general method for the preparation of carbonimidic dibromides. A wide range of isocyanides has been used and several new examples have been reported <1995CC2295, 1996CC41, 1996S975>. The reaction can be used as a method of protection of sensitive isocyanide functions since it can be reversed by reduction with triethyl phosphite or magnesium <1996CC41, 1996S975>. Br Br2

The dibromooxime 3 has been prepared from glyoxylic acid aldoxime and bromine as described in chapter 60.20.1.1.3 in <1995COFGT(6)601>. The oxime 3 is important as a source of the nitrile oxide 4, a useful 1,3-dipole (Scheme 3). The reaction sequence is often carried out without isolation of the intermediate dibromooxime 3 <1994T7543, 1995LA619> but there is also a description of a further experimental procedure for its isolation <1997JHC345>.

6.20.2.2

Iminocarbonyl Compounds with Two Dissimilar Halogen Functions

No further advances in this area have occurred since the publication of chapter 6.20.1.2 in <1995COFGT(6)601>.

6.20.2.3

Iminocarbonyl Halides with One Halogen and One Other Heteroatom Function

There have been very few advances since the publication of chapter 6.20.1.3 in <1995COFGT(6)601>. The most general method of preparation of compounds of this type is the selective displacement of one halogen from the appropriate iminocarbonyl dihalides, the main difficulty being in limiting the displacement to a single halogen. Other approaches that have some generality are addition reactions to isocyano groups and (for chloro compounds) chlorination of precursors such as isothiocyanates, ureas, and thioureas. New examples of these reactions are mainly restricted to iminocarbonyl chlorides with a nitrogen function.

6.20.2.3.1

Iminocarbonyl chlorides with one other heteroatom function

The electrophilic addition of sulfenyl chlorides to isocyanides is a known method for the preparation of iminocarbonyl chlorides with a sulfur function. A specific extension of this method to a nitrogen species is the addition of N-chlorobenzotriazole to isocyanides, which leads to mixtures of N-1 substituted and N-2 substituted benzotriazoles 5 and 6 (Equation (5)) <2001JOC2854>. The method appears to have the potential of extension to other N-halo compounds.

The reaction of primary amines with dichlorodimethyliminium chloride 8 is a known and efficient method for the preparation of dimethylamino substituted imidoyl chlorides and this method has been used in a synthesis of the pyrrolotriazine 9 <1996T3037>.

6.20.3.1.1

Iminocarbonyl compounds with two oxygen functions

A general method for the preparation of compounds of this class (carbonimidic diesters) is the displacement of chloride from carbonimidic dichlorides by an excess of an alcohol or a phenol under basic conditions. A recent variation of this method that has been used to prepare the iminodioxolenes 10 is the cathodic reduction of diaryl-substituted 1,2-diketones in the presence of N-arylcarbonimidic dichlorides (Equation (6)) <1994TL2365, 1995T3641>.

Iminocarbonyl compounds with two sulfur functions

Carbonimidic dithioesters are usually prepared most conveniently by S-alkylation of dithiocarbamate salts or esters, which are in turn readily available from the reaction of primary amino compounds with carbon disulfide. Methods involving displacement of halide are relatively less used, but new examples of such reactions include routes to the sulfones 11 (R = Me or Ph) by displacement of bromide <1997JA5982, 1998CC1143>. The sulfur(II) substituent in compounds 11 can be oxidized by MCPBA to give the bis(sulfones) 12 (Scheme 5). The oxime 14 was prepared in high yield by a double displacement reaction of the sulfone functions of compound 13 by sodium methylmercaptide (Equation (7)) <1997JA5982>.

6.20.3.2.1

Iminocarbonyl compounds with one oxygen and one sulfur function

Isothiocyanates are the most commonly used starting materials for the preparation of compounds of this class; an alkoxide is added to the isothiocyanate to give a salt that is then S-alkylated. Some new examples of this method, with sodium methoxide as the nucleophile, have been described <1995SC3973>. An example of the procedure in which tributyltin oxide is used as the base is shown in Scheme 7 <1997H(45)1913>. The dithiazolone 15 has been prepared by a related method involving one-pot N-acylation and S-thiolation of ethyl thiocarbamate <1996JOC6639>.

A few new compounds in this category have been prepared by methods analogous to those in the two preceding sections. The first 1,3-oxaselenoles 18, having structures analogous to the oxathioles 17 but with selenium in place of sulfur, were prepared by the method shown in Scheme 8 but with potassium selenocyanate as the nucleophile <1993JCS(P1)351>. 2-Phenylimino-1.3-thiaselenole 19 has been prepared in low yield by a method analogous to that in Scheme 6, from the reaction of phenyl isoselenocyanate with 1,2,3-thiadiazole (Equation (9)) <1996ZOR1870>. A displacement reaction analogous to that of Scheme 5 has been carried out using the sodium salt of benzeneselenol (NaSePh) to give the sulfone 20 <1998CC1143>.

Iminocarbonyl compounds with one oxygen and one nitrogen function

Compounds of this class are commonly known as isoureas or as pseudoureas. A review of their methods of preparation and their properties has appeared <1995RCR929>. General methods for their preparation include addition of nucleophiles to the CN triple bond of cyanates or cyanamides, and addition–elimination reactions of other iminocarbonyl compounds. Two new examples of these two general approaches are shown below. The salt 21 was prepared from cyanamide by reaction with butanol and anhydrous 4-toluenesulfonic acid in anhydrous chloroform (Equation (10)) <1999JA5940>. Displacement by an amine of one phenoxy group from the activated iminocarbonate 22 gave the isourea 23 in good yield (Equation (11)) <2000HCA287>.

Compounds of this type are commonly known as isothioureas. This large and mostly stable group of compounds can be prepared by a variety of methods, the most general of which is S-alkylation of thioureas. The thioureas can, in turn, be prepared by the addition of nitrogen nucleophiles to isothiocyanates. An example of this reaction sequence, through the intermediate thiourea 24 followed by S-methylation, is shown in Scheme 9 <1997H(45)1405>.

As with isothioureas, the most general method for the preparation of such compounds is Se-alkylation of selenoureas. An example of this approach that has been used to prepare the selenazolone 26 is shown in Equation (13) <2002S195>.

N-Unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives

Most methods for the preparation of N-unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives are based on the reaction of primary or secondary amines with electrophilic precursors of the guanidine moiety. The guanylating precursor can be generated from various functions. Thiouronium salts of type 2 are generated by reacting thioureas 1 with trialkyl oxonium salts, alkyl halides, chlorinating agents, or peracids. Similarly, strong alkylating or chlorinating agents are also used for generation of electrophilic imino N2 centers from ureas 3. Compounds of type 2 react with amines in the classic reaction known as the Rathke guanidine synthesis. The direct reaction of 1-alkyl thiourea derivatives 1 with ammonia in the presence of zinc(II) or lead(II) salts gives rise to the formation of N-unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives. Alternatively, 1,3-dialkyl guanidines can be prepared from activated carbamate-protected 1-alkyl urea and alkylamines in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide followed by deprotection. Analogously, 1,3-di-t-butoxycarbonyl-thiourea is converted to 1-alkyl guanidines. Carboxamidines of type 2 bearing heteroaromatic leaving group (X = pyrazol-1-yl) and especially those N,N1-bisurethane protected (R1 = t-BOC or PhCH2OCO) are able to react with weak nucleophiles such as aromatic amines <1995COFGT(6)639>.

(i) N-Unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives from thioureas Usually, the formation of guanidines from thioureas is achieved by application of coupling reagents such as mercury(II) salts, diisopropyl carbodiimide (DIC), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)3-ethyl carbodiimide (EDCI) or Mukaiyama’s reagent leading to the intermediate formation of activated thiourea or carbodiimides. The following sections are ordered by type of the coupling reagent. Moreover, due to recent developments in the solid-phase synthesis, the solution-phase and solid-phase protocols will be discussed separately. (a) N-Unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives from thioureas using mercury(II) salt as coupling reagent. Solution-phase methods. In 1993 Kim and co-workers reported a facile synthesis of bis(t-BOC)-protected guanidines of type 10 from thiourea 9 R2,R4 = H, R3,R5 = t-BOC promoted by HgCl2 <1993TL7677>. This method followed by deprotection with TFA offers an efficient synthesis of terminal guanidines (Equation (1)). R1R2NH

A synthetic method for internal guanidines has also been developed, employing as the key step a nucleophilic substitution of bis(t-BOC)-protected terminal guanidines 10 <1995SL815>. The second substituent, R2, was introduced as an electrophile (formation of 11), and t-BOC-deprotection completed the synthesis of internal guanidines 12 (Equation (2)). An analogous phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation of 10 has also occurred regioselectively at one of the carbamate nitrogens and the reaction proved to be tolerant to a wide range of functional groups on the guanidine including esters, amines, ketones, alcohols, and alkenes <2003JOC2300>.

HgCl2-promoted guanylation was further studied with variously substituted thioureas 13 and the scope and limitations were presented by Ko and co-workers <1997T5291>. The process was found to be effective with thioureas containing at least one activating group. Such N-conjugated groups include N-carbonyl (acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl), N-cyano, N-sulfonyl, and N-aryl substituents (Equation (3)). S 1

A nickel-boride-promoted guanylation of amines with N,N0 -bis(t-BOC)thiourea 13 has also been described <2000USP6100428>. Solid-phase methods. A convenient solid-phase synthesis of ribonucleic guanidines 14 including abstraction of the sulfur atom from fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected thiourea by Hg2+ was described <2002T867> (Scheme 2).

Mercury(II) oxide proved to be a coupling reagent capable of activating the thiourea sulfur fragment for substitution without elimination leading to the intermediate carbidiimides <2000OL3563>. Resin-bound thiourea 15 bearing two substituents at one of the nitrogen atoms reacted with ammonia and primary or secondary amines in the presence of HgO. The cleavage with 10% TFA in CH2Cl2 yielded guanidines of type 16 in the form of trifluoroacetate salts (Scheme 3).

Following the procedure elaborated by Poss and co-workers <1992TL5933> the water-soluble carbodiimide EDCI hydrochloride) was used for the synthesis of guanidinium derivatives 18 starting from carbamoyl isothiocyanates <2000JOC1566, 2002TL565>. The carbamoyl thiourea 17 obtained from ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate and hindered amines was coupled to a second amine in the presence of EDCI, forming 1,3-disubstituted and 1,1,3-trisubstituted guanidines through either stepwise or one-pot synthesis. The deprotection of the products was carried out using Me3SiBr under reflux in DMF followed by protonation with methanol, without cleaving of the functional groups (Scheme 4).

Solid-phase methods. A practical solid-phase synthesis that uses Rink amide resin as an amine component in reacting with aromatic isothiocyanates and aliphatic amines to give 1,3-disubstituted guanidine of type 22 was described <2001TL2273>. The commercial Rink amide resin 19 was deprotected with 25% piperidine/DMF, and then treated with an isothiocyanate to give the resin-bound thiourea 20, which, in turn, was subjected to guanylation with an amine in the presence of DIC and Hu¨nig base (DIPEA) to give the resin-bound guanidine 21. The disubstituted guanidine 22 was cleaved off under mild Rink resin cleavage conditions (Scheme 5). A series of diverse guanidine compounds 25 (Scheme 6) were obtained based on a traceless linker approach to the solid-phase synthesis, utilizing resin-bound acyl isothiocyanate 23 <1999TL3999>. This precursor undergoes addition reactions with a variety of amines to form

the corresponding acyl thioureas 24. In the second step, a resin-bound guanidine formation is promoted through desulfurization with DIC. Cleavage of acyl guanidine is affected by treatment with TFA. A polymer-assisted synthesis (PAS) methodology to obtain guanidines 28, which combines advantages of traditional solution-phase chemistry with the application of polymeric reagents was developed as shown in Scheme 7 <2002TL7105>. Thus, N,N0 -bis(t-BOC)thiourea 9 is coupled with an amine with the use of polymer-supported carbodiimide 26. In order to remove a by-product (bis-(t-BOC)carbodiimide), PS-trisamine 27 was added as a scavenger. Further deprotection with TFA afforded terminal guanidines in very good yield. (c) N-Unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives from thioureas using Mukaiyama’s reagent. Solution-phase methods. Mukaiyama’s reagent was examined as a replacement for toxic heavy metal salts to promote formation of carbodiimides from thioureas <1997JOC1540>. Primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines subjected to the reaction with N,N0 -bis-(t-BOC)thiourea 9 and Mukaiyama’s reagent resulted in the formation of the corresponding N,N0 -bis-(t-BOC)guanidines of type 10 in 21–91% yields (Equation (4)).

Solid-phase methods. An interesting strategy for generating a wide variety of guanidines 32 by solid-phase synthesis was developed by Josey and co-workers <1998TL5899>. In one-pot, thiourea was deprotonated with 2 equiv. of sodium hydride, treated with the carbonylimidazole resin 29, and then capped with t-butyl dicarbonate to afford 30. Coupling of the thiourea 30 with primary and secondary amines in the presence of Mukaiyama’s reagent afforded the desired products 31 in good yields (Scheme 8).

Solid-phase methods. 1,3-Disubstituted guanidines 37 can also be prepared from isothioureas on the solid phase <1998TL5701>. The reaction of Merrifield resin-bound bis-(t-BOC)thiopseudourea 35 with alcohols in the presence of Ph3P and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) gave N-alkylated resin-bound intermediate 36. The Mitsunobu reaction is relevant for most primary and secondary alcohols, including benzylic and allylic alcohols. The N-alkylated products were liberated from the resin as the bis-(t-BOC)-protected guanidines by exposure of 36 to excess methanolic NH3 in DMF. Deprotection with TFA gave the corresponding N,N0 -disubstituted guanidines of type 37 (Scheme 9).

Solid-phase methods. Inspired by the previously described guanylating agent 1-H-pyrazole1-[N,N0 -bis-(t-BOC)]carboxamidine 41 <1993TL3389>, Patek and co-workers developed an acid labile linker for solid-phase synthesis of substituted guanidines <2000JCO370>. Attachment of the linker to the TentaGel–NH2 resin was accomplished using ‘‘acidic’’ coupling conditions to prevent direct displacement of pyrazole with TentaGel–NH2.

A comparison of guanylating agents N,N0 -bis-BOC-thiourea 9 and agent 0 1-H-pyrazole-1-[N,N -bis(t-BOC)]carboxamidine 41 was performed on a series of primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines in both solution- and solid-phase resins <1997T6697>. Thiourea 9 performed well in solution and on solid-supported primary and secondary amines. Pyrazole 41 performed well in each case, except one aniline that failed to react. The relative reactivity of guanylating agents 9, 33, and 41 (Figure 1) was also investigated in the liquid-phase polymer-supported combinatorial synthesis of guanidines with piperazine and piperidine scaffolds <1998SL1423>. Benzotriazole methodology was further applied for the mild and efficient conversion of amines to guanidines <1995SC1173>. Benzotriazole-1-carboxamidinium tosylate 45 (Figure 1) was conveniently prepared by refluxing benzotriazole, cyanamide, and p-TsOH in 1,4-dioxane. The reaction with primary and secondary amines including aromatic amines in the presence of DIEA at room temperature afforded the corresponding guanidines in good yields.

(iv) N-Unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives from urethane-protected guanidines and triflyl-diurethane-protected guanidines The new classes of urethane-protected guanylation reagents 46 <1997JOC4867>, 47, and 48 <1998JOC8432> as well as triflyl-protected 49 and 50 <1998JOC3804> (Figure 2) have been developed and utilized for the preparation of guanidines, guanidine-containing amino acids, and peptides in both solution and solid-phase. These compounds are stable, crystalline substances that can remain stable indefinitely if refrigerated.

Guanylation of aliphatic and aromatic amines with bis-(BOC)- and bis-(Cbz)-protected triflylguanidines 49 and 50 gave the condensation products in 75–100% yields <1998JOC3804>. Combinatorial synthesis of N,N0 -bis-(t-BOC)-protected guanidines 52 based on the reaction of guanylating reagents 49 and 50 with soluble polymer-bound diamines has also been developed <1999BMCL1517>. This combinatorial liquid-phase methodology has proved to be a useful tool for constructing libraries containing diamine scaffolds (Equation (8)).

Using the triflyl-diurethane-protected guanidines 49, and 50, guanidine-containing, biologically important molecules, e.g., guanadrel, guanoxan, guanethidine, and smirnovine, were synthesized <1999S1423>. Moreover, guanidinoglycosides <2000JOC9054> and a novel library of guanidineincorporated aminoglycoside antibiotics, guanidinopyranmycins was also synthesized using the reagent 49 <2002TL9255>. With regard to the discussion about syntheses of bis-urethane-protected guanidines, it is worth noting that a method of total deprotection of N,N0 -bis-(BOC)guanidines of type 10 has been developed <1997TL7865>. It was demonstrated that deprotection using SnCl4 proceeded smoothly in ethyl acetate at room temperature and led to the easily isolable guanidinium chlorides 53 (Equation (9)).

The solid-support-linked guanylating reagent 55 consisting of a urethaneprotected triflyl guanidine attached to the resin via a carbamate linker was applied to the synthesis of guanidines from a variety of amines under mild conditions <2001OL1133>. t-BOC-guanidine was immobilized on p-nitrophenyl carbonate Wang resin to form the protected guanidine 54. Triflation of 54 resulted in the formation of resin-bound guanylating reagent 55. This reagent was used for the conversion of primary and secondary amines into resin-bound guanidines which were cleaved with TFA (Scheme 11).

Synthetic applications of diurethane-triflyl guanidines 49 and 50 were subject of a recent comprehensive review <2000PAC347>.

(v) N-Unsubstituted iminocarbonyl derivatives from di(azolyl)methanimines A mixture of di(benzotriazolyl)methanimines 56 and 57, obtained from the reaction of benzotriazole with cyanogen bromide, has been developed as a versatile guanylating reagent for the general synthesis of guanidines <2000JOC8080>. The sequential condensation of two amines with 56 and 57 proved to be insensitive to electronic and steric effects and allowed for the use of a wide diversity of amines. By this method it is now possible to obtain nonprotected tri- and tetrasubstituted guanidines 58 in high yields under neutral and mild conditions using an easy purification protocol (Scheme 12). A similar approach for synthesizing guanidine compounds was reported using di(imidazol-1-yl)methanimine <2002JOC7553>.

Amidinoureas of type 60 could be prepared by the reaction of an acyl-S-methyl thiourea with an amine followed by removal of the acyl groups (Scheme 13) <1996TL1945>. Alternatively, amidinothiourea 61 was produced by reacting dicyandiamide and sodium thiosulfate in acidic medium followed by neutralization with a base <1995OPP697>. This reaction involves three steps: (i) addition of two moles hydrogen chloride to dicyandiamide, (ii) addition of thiosulfuric acid and acidic hydrolysis, and (iii) release of the free amidinothiourea (61, gutimine) by treatment with a base (Scheme 14).

N-Alkyl iminocarbonyl derivatives

As shown in Scheme 1 preparation of N-alkyl guanidines may be carried out either directly from the reaction of thioureas with alkylamines in the presence of lead oxide or via S-alkyl isothiouronium salts (2, X = SMe, SEt) or isouronium salts (2, X = OMe, Cl, Cl2PO2). For the synthesis of sterically hindered pentaalkyl guanidines use of the reactive chlorformamidinium (Vilsmeier) salts is preferred. The bis-electrophilic guanidine precursor carbonimidic dichloride 6 upon reaction with 2 equiv. of the same amine or one each of two different amines gives tri-, tetra-, and pentaalkyl guanidines. Trisubstituted guanidines are also derived from the reaction of carbodiimides 8, obtained by dehydration or desulfurization of ureas or thioureas, with an amine. Reactions of alkyl cyanamides 7 with amines or amine salts give rise to the formation of N-alkylguanidines in high yields. The less common procedures involve either the reaction of complexes of mercury(II) chloride and t-butyl isocyanide with mono- and dialkylamines or lithium aluminum hydride reduction of various alkyl-substituted acyl guanidines (5, R1 = acyl) <1995COFGT(6)639>. During the 1990s, the following methods have been developed. Trichloroacetamides obtained via Overman [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement are converted into N,N0 -dibenzyl-N0 -alkyl guanidines <1994CL2299>. The key step is the conversion of carbodiimide intermediate 63 into guanidine by rare earth triflates such as scandium or ytterbium trifluoromethane sulfonates (Scheme 15). An original sequence for solution and solid-phase synthesis of N,N0 ,N0 -trisubstituted guanidines of type 66 has been developed by Mioskowski and co-workers <2000CEJ4016>. The sequence involves as key intermediate a bis-electrophilic chlorothioformamidine 64 that undergoes smooth nucleophilic addition of a primary amine to afford the corresponding isothiourea. The guanidine 66 is then obtained by heating the isothiourea 65 in the presence of a primary amine in toluene (Scheme 16). In the analogous solid-phase synthesis, chloromethylpolystyrene (Merrifield resin) was used instead of benzyl chloride in the first step to give resin-bound dithiocarbonate. A library of di- and trisubstituted guanidines of type 70 was synthesized in the process termed ‘‘combinatorial synthesis on multivalent oligomeric support’’ (COSMOS) <1999TL4477>. The synthetic route consists of attaching thiourea onto the soluble tetravalent support 67, and conversion to the guanidine 68 in the presence of HgCl2 or via methyl isothiourea 69. Cleavage from the support in 20% TFA/DCM affords the guanidine 70 as the TFA salt (Scheme 17).

Another facile solid-phase synthesis of N,N0 ,N0 -substituted guanidines 75 from an immobilized amine component is depicted in Scheme 18. The resin-bound amine 71 is reacted with di-(2-pyridyl)thiocarbonate (DTP) to generate the isothiocyanate 72, which is then treated with aryl-/alkylamines to yield the corresponding resin-bound thiourea 73. Desulfurization of 73 is readily achieved by treatment with triphenylphosphine dichloride. Further reaction with aryl-/ alkylamines (formation of 74) followed by acidic cleavage with TFA yields N,N0 ,N0 -substituted guanidines 75 of excellent purity and in good yields <2002T1739>. O

Title compounds can be prepared by reacting Vilsmeier salts with ketone imines. Other methods involve the reaction of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl guanidine with either acetylenedicarboxylate or isobutyraldehyde in the presence of catalytic amount of TsOH. No further advances have occurred in this area since publication of chapter 6.21.1.1.3 <1995COFGT(6)639>.

6.21.1.1.4

N-Aryliminocarbonyl derivatives

In general, the methods developed for syntheses of N-alkyl guanidines are also applicable to the preparation of N-aryliminocarbonyl derivatives. Thus, they can be obtained from amidinium salts 2 and urea derivatives 3, carbonimidic dichlorides 6, carbodiimides 8, and cyanamides 7 (Scheme 1) <1995COFGT(6)639>. Since then, however, several new methods for the preparation of this class of compounds have been developed.

(i) N-Aryliminocarbonyl derivatives from guanidines A straightforward synthetic approach to 6-guanidinopurines consists in the reaction of the 6-chloropurine derivatives with guanidine in DMF solution in the presence of DABCO as catalyst <2002T2985>. Similarly, the 4-O-triisopropylphenylsulfonyl (OTPS) thymidine can be guanylated directly in the presence of t-BuOK <1998TL547>.

621

Functions Containing an Iminocarbonyl Group (ii) N-Aryliminocarbonyl derivatives from thioureas

Ramadas and co-workers have developed several methods for direct syntheses of N-aryl-substituted guanidines 83 from N-arylthioureas 82. A rapid synthesis of N,N0 -di- and N,N0 ,N0 -trisubstituted guanidines can be achieved using copper sulfate–silica gel in the presence of an amine (Scheme 22, Method A). This method, however, suffers from disadvantages involving the unstable carbodiimide intermediate, use of costly copper salt, and the need for anhydrous conditions <1995TL2841>. Desulfurization of monoaryl and N,N0 -diarylthioureas with lac sulfur adsorbed on alumina followed by treatment with ammonia, diethylamine, or morpholine in the presence of triethanolamine provided the corresponding guanidines in 68–85% yields (Scheme 22, Method B). Hydrogen sulfide is effectively trapped by triethanolamine and, therefore, this process is bound to trigger commercial interest since pollution due to hydrogen sulfide is avoided <1996TL5161>. Oxidation of N,N0 -disubstituted thioureas using the previously unexploited reagents sodium metaperiodate and sodium chlorite in aqueous medium provides another facile and high-yielding route to N-aryl guanidines (Scheme 22, Method C) <1997SL1053>.

The first method involving trapping of solution-phase carbodiimides 87 by supported amines was used to produce N-aryl-N0 ,N0 -dialkyl derivatives 88 (Scheme 24). A limitation of this method was that the supported guanidines 88 tended to undergo an undesired intramolecular cyclization. The second solid-phase method (Scheme 25), featuring supported carbodiimides 90 and solution-phase amines was devised to prepare N,N0 -disubstituted and N,N0 ,N0 -trisubstituted guanidinocarboxylic acids 89.

Title compounds (5, R5 = acyl) are obtained by acylation of the free base of S-methyl isothiouronium salts (2; X = SMe) followed by treatment with monoalkylamines (Scheme 1). Condensation of unsubstituted or monosubstituted guanidines with acid esters gives monoacetylated products. The preparation of di- and trisubstituted guanidines can be accomplished using acid chlorides or anhydrides. Reactions of guanidines with N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride or isothiocyanates give rise to the formation of corresponding 2-(thiocarbamoyl)guanidines. Similarly, 2-amidinoureas (5; R1 = ArNHCO) can be obtained by reacting guanidines with aryl isocyanates (ArNCO) or carbamoyl chlorides (ArNRCOCl) <1995COFGT(6)639>.

An improved procedure for the generation of 1-aroyl-S-methyl isothiourea derivatives 96 consists in the reaction of acid chloride (1 equiv.) in ether with S-methyl isothiouronium sulfate (2 equiv.) in sodium hydroxide under ice-cold conditions (Scheme 29).

The resin-bound pyrazole carboxamidine 100 upon deprotonation with lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) followed by treatment with an acyl chloride affords the resin-bound guanylating agent 101.

N-Cyanoiminocarbonyl derivatives

Title compounds are most often prepared from thioureas and their derivatives. These methods include (i) the reaction of an N,N0 -disubstituted thiourea with lead cyanamide, (ii) reaction of an amine with N-cyano-N0 ,S-dimethyl isothiourea, and (iii) the reaction of an amine with dimethylcyanodithioimidocarbonate followed by treatment with alkylamine. 2-Cyanoguanidines are also obtained in high yields by reacting cyanamide (H2NCN) with carbodiimides (8; R1 = aryl, R2 = alkyl) in the presence of catalytic DIPEA (Hu¨nig base). Condensation of sodium (or lithium) dicyanamide with monoalkylammonium salts yields the corresponding monosubstituted 2-cyanoguanidines (5; R1 = CN, R2,R3 = H, R4 = alkyl) (Scheme 1) <1995COFGT(6)639>. Recently, three novel methods for preparation of 1,3-substituted cyanoguanidines 104 have been developed. One involves the reaction of commercially available diphenylcyanocarbonimidate 102 with anilines and subsequent treatment of the obtained cyano-O-phenylisourea 103 with alkylamines (Scheme 31) <1997CPB2005, 2001BMCL1749>. Dimethyl cyanodithioiminocarbonate 105 reacts similarly <1994TL8085>.

N-Haloiminocarbonyl derivatives

Many of the N-haloguanidines are unstable and/or explosive; therefore, most halogenations of guanidines are carried out on laboratory scale. These compounds are usually prepared by direct elemental halogenation of appropriately substituted guanidines. For example, perfluoroguanidine can be obtained by reaction of guanidine with elemental fluorine. 2-Chloro-1,1-dialkyl guanidines are prepared by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite.

627

Functions Containing an Iminocarbonyl Group

An interesting example, where 2-haloguanidine was prepared by a method other than the direct nitrogen–halogen formation is the reaction of pentafluoroguanidine with alkyl- or arylamines at low temperatures. The initially formed adduct upon warming loses difluoroamine to give a trifluoroguanidine. No further advances have occurred in this area since the publication of chapter 6.21.1.1.8 in <1995COFGT(6)639>.

6.21.1.1.9

N-Chalcogenoiminocarbonyl derivatives

(i) Oxygen derivatives The reaction of hydroxylamines with S-alkyl isothioureas and chlorformamidines 2, cyanamides 7, and carbodiimides 8 all give rise to the formation of the hydroxyguanidines (Scheme 1). N-Alkoxyguanidines are prepared analogously starting from O-alkylhydroxylamines in place of hydroxylamines. They are also synthesized by alkylation of hydroxyguanidines with alkyl halides. However, acylation of hydroxyguanidines gives the corresponding acetoxy- or benzoyloxyguanidines <1995COFGT(6)639>. Recently, guanylations of thioureas with O-benzylhydroxylamine have been described. Construction of benzyloxyguanidine group 113 can be achieved either following the activation of the thiocarbonyl group by mercury(II) oxide and subsequent displacement with O-benzylhydroxylamine <1994JCS(P1)769> or using HgCl2 as coupling reagent <2000JOC2399>. Hydrogenation of the benzyl group using 20% Pd(OH)2 as the catalyst at 0 C yields the hydroxyguanidine derivative 114 (Scheme 34).

(ii) Sulfur derivatives The most convenient route to sulfonyl guanidines consists in the condensation of an arylsulfonyl chloride with guanidine or the reaction of arylsulfonamides with S-alkyl isothioureas. N-(alkylaminosulfonyl)guanidines can be prepared by reacting N,N-dialkyl-N0 -chlorosulfonylchloroformamidines with primary or secondary amines. The reaction of S,S-dimethyl-N-arylsulfonyliminodithiocarbonimidate or N-Ts-carbonimidic dichloride with amines leads to the formation of N-sulfonyl guanidines.

628

Functions Containing an Iminocarbonyl Group

Another method for the synthesis of sulfonyl guanidines involves the reaction of N-sulfonylN0 -alkyl carbodiimides with alkylamines. Cycloaddition reactions of sulfonyl isothiocyanates and guanidines, sulfonyl isothiocyanates and thiourea or N-sulfinyl-sulfonamides and thioureas give rise to the desired sulfonylguanidines <1995COFGT(6)639>. In recent years, a new reagent (117; Equation (14)) capable of guanylating primary amines effectively has been developed <2001OL2341>. The reaction of pyrazole 117 with aliphatic amines at room temperature affords N-Ts-protected guanidines 118 in quantitative yields, while aniline and t-butylamine are less reactive.

Synthesis of N,N0 -substituted guanidines 123 was also developed via an aromatic sulfonylactivated thiourea intermediate 122 <2003JOC1611>. A primary amine was first turned into a pentafluoromethyl thiocarbonate. This allowed for the synthesis of the arylsulfonyl-activated thiourea 122 using PbfNHK as nucleophile (Scheme 38). Treatment of 122 with an amine in the presence of Mukaiyama’s reagent produced subsequent guanidine 123 in very good yield. The reaction works for either primary or secondary amine nucleophiles, including the sterically hindered t-butylamine as well as diisopropylamine, both of which are known to cause problems in other guanidine syntheses performed in solution. The above was also adopted to solid-phase synthesis of functionalized amino acids. An amino acid attached to Rink amide MBHA resin was turned into the desired guanidine derivative through direct guanylation with Pbf-activated thiourea <2003JOC1611>.

N-Aminoiminocarbonyl derivatives

(i) Alkyl and aryl derivatives In general, N-aminoiminocarbonyl derivatives (N-aminoguanidines) can be prepared following the procedures described previously for guanidines, i.e., from the reaction of either hydrazines with amidinium salts, thioureas, cyanamides, carbodiimides and S-alkyl thioureas, or amines with S-alkylisothiosemicarbazide and N-aminocarbonimidic dichlorides. No major improvements have been achieved in this area since the publication of chapter 6.21.1.1.10 in <1995COFGT(6)639>.

(ii) Imino, nitro, nitroso, and azido derivatives A wide range of imino and nitro derivatives of guanidines can be obtained using the well-known Bamberger reaction, which consists in the reaction of aryldiazonium salts with nitroalkyl derivatives. The use of malonic acid instead of nitroalkyl derivative gives 1,5-diaryl-3-arylazoformazanes via a 1,5-diarylformazan intermediate. Although most of the 2-nitrosoguanidines are unstable and decompose to corresponding ureas and nitrogen, the 1,1,3,3-tetraphenyl-2-nitrosoguanidine was obtained by nitrosylation of tetraphenyl guanidine and proved to be a stable solid at 20 C. Alternatively, 3-nitrosoformazans could be obtained by the reduction of 1,5-diaryl-3-nitroformazans with H2S <1995COFGT(6)639>. In recent years, several new methods for the preparation of nitroguanidines have been elaborated. Thus, 3,5-dimethyl-N-nitro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine (DMNPC; 130) has been prepared by treatment of 1-amino-2-nitroguanidine with pentane-2,4-dione and then applied for introducing N-nitroguanidino functions as precursors of guanidino functions <1999JCS(P1)349, 1964BBA533>. The reactions of DMNPC with amines were initially carried out in 1,4-dioxane <1964BBA533>. However, it has been found that better results could be obtained when the reaction is carried out in more polar solvents such as methanol <1999JCS(P1)349>. The usefulness of DMNPC is exemplified by a facile synthesis of agmatine sulfate 131, as shown in Scheme 41. N4-Substituted N1,N8-disubstituted spermidines were obtained analogously. A similar nitroamidination with O-methyl-N-nitroisourea was applied to the synthesis of blastidic acid, a component of amino acid in an antibiotic, blasticidin S <2001TL1753>.

The chemistry of guanidinylphosphines has recently been developed by Munchenberger and co-workers. Thus, dichloro-N-(N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl)guanidinylphosphine 143 can be obtained by reacting N-trimethylsilyl-N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethylguanidine (TMSTMG) with PCl3 (Scheme 44). The analogous difluorophosphine 144 is prepared from either the reaction of fluorochlorophosphine with tetramethyl guanidine (HTMG) <1997PS57> or by treatment of triphenylmethylphosphonous difluoride with HTMG. The latter reaction involves unusual cleavage of PC rather than the PF bond (Scheme 44) <1998EJI865>. On the other hand, dichloro-bis-(pyrrolidinomethyleneimino)-phosphine 145 and dichloro-bis-(piperidinomethyleneimino)-phosphine 146 are formed upon treatment of lithiated guanidines with PCl3 (Scheme 44) <1997PS57>. From the reaction of HTMG or TMSTMG with dichlorophosphines or chlorophosphines, the corresponding alkyl(aryl)-bis-[N-(N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl)guanidinyl]phosphines 147 and dialkyl(aryl)-[N-(N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl)guanidinyl]phosphines 148 were obtained (Scheme 45) <1994PS103>. The compounds 147 were subsequently quaternized at the phosphorus atom upon treatment with MeI at 0 C. The substituted guanidinylphosphines 147 and 148 react with Lewis acids, boron trifluoride, and antimony pentachloride to give the phosphonium compounds of type 149 and 150, respectively (Scheme 46) <1997PS171>. Triphenylmethylphosphonous dichloride was found to react with HTMG to give chloro triphenylmethylphosphonous N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl guanidine 151. Triphenylmethylphosphonous N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl guanidine 152 was further obtained from the reaction of 151 with LiAlH4 followed by treatment with HCl (Scheme 47) <1998EJI865>. Diphosphine monoxide 154 is formed when the multifunctional 1,2-bis(tritylated)diphosphine monoxide 153 reacts with HTMG, whereas its tautomer 155 can be obtained from the reaction of chlorophosphine 151 with triphenyl methylphosphinic acid fluoride (Ph3C-PH(O)F) as shown in Scheme 48 <1999ZAAC497>.

A series of guanidine-containing phosphorylamides 161–166 have been prepared in the reaction of the appropriate chlorophosphoryl compounds with either HTMG or TMSTMG (Scheme 50). In contradistinction to guanidinylphosphine 147, the phosphoryl amide 161 undergoes N-alkylation with methyl iodode to give the ammonium salt 167 <1996ZAAC348>. fluorides 168 The organophosphorus N-(N0 ,N0 ,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl)guanidine (RP(F)N¼C(NMe2)2; R = t-Bu, Ph) were synthesized and oxidized by sulfur, selenium, and tellurium as well as by the urea-H2O2 1:1 adduct to give the phosphonic acid derivatives 169–172. Compound 168 (R = Ph) undergoes a Staudinger reaction with triphenylmethyl azide to produce the phosphine imide 173 (Scheme 51) <1996ZN1150>. A convenient synthesis of thiophosphinyl guanidines 174 has also been described <1995SC2857>. The reaction sequence involves initial preparation of sodium thiophosphinyl cyanamide Na[Ph2P(S)NCN] which then reacts with alkyl- and arylammonium chlorides [RNH3]Cl to give the corresponding alkyl- and arylammonium thiophosphinyl cyanamides. The latter compounds, when heated at 130–190 C, rearrange to N-alkyl(aryl)-N0 -thiophosphinyl guanidines 174 in a Wo¨hler-type reaction (Scheme 52).

Phosphoryl thiourea 175 can be converted into N1,N1-diphenyl-N3-dialkoxyphosphoryl guanidine 177 in three steps (Scheme 53). First, the compound 175 is reacted with allyl bromide to give S-alkenylated product, which upon vacuum distillation in the presence of catalytic amount of hydroquinone undergoes -elimination of allyl mercaptan giving rise to the formation of N-phenyl-N1-dialkoxyphosphoryl carbodiimide 176 in 50% yield. The final product 177 is obtained by reacting 176 with aniline at room temperature <1994ZOB931>.

N-Arylimino derivatives with one P function

There are three methods described in <1999COFGT(6)639> for the preparation of amidinophosphonates of type 189 (Figure 5). The first involves the reversible reaction of N,N0 -diphenyl carbodiimide with a phosphite triester. The second method consists in the direct aminolysis of iminochlorides of general formula ArN = C(Cl)P(O) (OR1)2. The third method is based on a Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction of the amidinochlorides with trialkyl phosphites. When a chloroalkylcarbodiimide was used instead of carbodiimide in a variant of a Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction, the corresponding alkylideneamidophosphonate 190 could be obtained. Amidinophosphines 191 (Figure 5) are usually prepared by the addition of phosphines containing PH or PSi bond across the C¼N bond of carbodiimide. Thus, the reaction of monophenylphosphine (PhPH2) with carbodiimide gives the bis(amidino)phosphine and analogous reaction of carbodiimide with diphenylphosphine (Ph2PH) leads to the formation of mono(amidino)phosphine <1995COFGT(6)639>. In 1995 Komalov and co-workers described a facile synthesis of novel dialkyl-Narylimino(amidino)phosphonates 192 <1995ZOB46>. The addition of anilidophosphines to carbodiimides carried out at room temperature afforded the compounds 192 in 87–97% yield (Equation (25)). NR2 NHR3 R1O P 3 OR1 NR

The above reaction represents the first example of electrophilic substitution at a formamidine carbon atom. Then, the intermediate 193 upon treatment with dialkylamine and elemental sulfur is converted into the desired C-phosphorylated amidines 194 in 40–44% yields (Scheme 56) <1996ZOB1930>.

Similarly were obtained the azido and nitrohydrazones (197; X = N3, NO2). The 1,3-addition of mono- or dialkylamines to nitrile imines (Ar2PNN+CP(S) (NR1R2)2) furnished N0 -phosphineformamidrazones 198 (Figure 6). (Arylhydrazono)arylazomethyl)phosphonates 199 (Figure 6) were obtained by coupling reaction of phosphinyl acetaldehyde with diazonium salts. Alternatively, the coupling reaction of the triphenylphosphine acetic acid with 2 molar equiv. of diazonium salt furnished the bis(arylazo)methylenephosphine 200 (Figure 6). Oxidation of the dialkoxyphosphorylamidrazone with silver(I) oxide gave the N-(arylazo)dialkoxyphosphoryl)methyleneamine 201 (Figure 6).

N,N-Dialkyliminium derivatives with one P function

In chapter 6.21.1.2.6 in <1995COFGT(6)639> the following methods were described for preparing the title compounds. For the syntheses of phosphaallylic salts and phosphorylated amidinium salts, N,N,N0 ,N0 -tetramethylimidoyl chloride is used as starting material: (i) it reacts with 0.5 molar equiv. of tris(TMS)phosphane (P(TMS)3) to give compounds 203 (Figure 7); (ii) upon treatment with triethyl phosphite the monophosphorylated amidinium salts 204 are obtained; and (iii) it undergoes a standard Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction with alkyl diphenylphosphinite having only one displaceable alkyl group to give the salt 205. Although the majority of phosphaalkenes show a polarity P+C of P¼C double bond, in a number of P-acyl, P-dithiocarboxyl, and P-thiocarbamoyl-phosphaalkenes, an inverse polarity PC+ of the multiple bond is observed. Recently, the synthesis, structure, bonding, and coordination chemistry of these derivatives have been investigated in detail <1998OM3593>. Replacement of the P-silyl group in P-trimethylsilyl-substituted phosphoalkanes 206 by acyl, dithiocarboxy, and thiocarbamoyl functions leads to the compounds 207, 210, and 211, respectively (Scheme 58). Based on a significant deshielding of the 31P NMR resonances and X-ray structure analysis, the electronic configuration was described by canonical formulas 207, 208, and 209 (Scheme 58). X-ray structure analysis of 210 confirmed the existence of multiple bonding of planar carbenium center (C5) to the planarly configured atoms C(2)N(1) and C(2)N(3). Reactivity of the carbonyl-functionalized phosphaalkanes 207 toward protic acids, Lewis acids, and alkylating and silylating agents were investigated by Weber and co-workers <1999EJI2369>. It was found that the reaction with protic acids and alkylating agents occurred at two-coordinate phosphorus atom yielding the phosphanyl-substituted amidinium cations 212 and 213. Silylation with Me3SiOSO2CF3 resulted in the attack at the oxygen atom (formation of 214). Also Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 was ligated at the oxygen atom of carbonyl group to give the adduct 215 (Scheme 59). The structures of the adducts of 207 with the homologous Lewis acids AlMe3, GaMe3, and InMe3 were also investigated in detail. AlMe3 was ligated to the oxygen atom of the carbonyl

Thus, they reacted with (CO)5MBr (M = Mn, Re) to afford tricyclic complexes 216 and 217 <1998OM3593>. Complexation of 207 with transition metal carbonyls took place at the pnictogen atom resulting in the complexes of type 218 (RC(O)P[M(CO)n]C(NMe2)2) (R = t-Bu, Ph; M = Ni, n = 3; Fe, n = 4; Cr, n = 5) (Equation (27)).

Other examples of borane carboximidamides 221 and 222 can be prepared by reacting phenyl isocyanide with boraneamide and 2-(dialkylboryl)aminopyridine, respectively <1995COFGT(6)639>. Recently, novel types of [amine-bis-(amidinium) hydroboron2+] 225 and [amine-bis(triethylamidinium)hydroboron2+] 226 cations have been obtained <1999IC5250>. First, the cyano groups of 223 are activated by ethylation employing Et3OBF4 to give [amine-bis(ethylnitrilium)hydroboron2+] tetrafluoroborates 224. Then, nucleophilic addition of ammonia and diethylamine gives 225 and 226, respectively (Scheme 61).

The trialkylstannyl and trialkylplumbyl formamidines 227 (Figure 9) were obtained by the 1,1-addition of a metal amide to an aryl isocyanide <1995COFGT(6)639>. Adducts of InMe3 with aryl isocyanides of general structure Me3InCNR (228, R = 4-MeC6H4, 4-OMeC6H4) react slowly at room temperature with pyrrolidine to give the insertion products 229 (Scheme 62).

The nucleophilic attack of azetidine at the carbon atom of coordinated isocyanide ligands of the neutral or cationic complexes of Pd and Pt resulted in the formation of the diaminocarbene complexes 231 and 232, respectively (Figure 9). The reaction of tetrakis(t-butyl isocyanide)rhodium(I) tetrafluoroborate with dimethylamine and diethylamine gave 1:1 adducts 233 containing a -bonded amidinium cation <1995COFGT(6)639>.

This class of compounds containing five-valent phosphorus atoms includes diphenyl-, dialkoxy-, diamino-, alkoxyamino-, and alkoxyfluoro-phosphinyl derivatives, all of which can be synthesized according to the following methods <1995COFGT(6)639>. (a) From carbonimidic dichlorides and organophosphorus reagents, such as (RO)2P(O)R and Ph2P(O)(OR), were obtained (arylcarbonimidoyl)bisphosphonic acid esters 260, bis(diphenylphosphinyl)methylene)arylamines 261, respectively (Figure 11). Analogously, the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction of phenylsulfonylcarbonimidic dichloride with (RO)3P gives derivatives 262. (b) From carbimidic dichlorides by metal–halogen exchange with Me2TlP(O)Ph2 the compounds 261 are produced (Figure 11). (c) (Diazomethylene)bisphosphonates 263 are prepared by treatment of the corresponding CH active methylene precursor with tosyl azide in the presence of potassium t-butoxide. (d) Reaction of the lithium salt of the thioxophosphoranyldiazomethane with chlorophosphane derivatives leads to the phosphinothioyl compounds 264 (Figure 11). (e) P,P0 -(carbonimidoyl)bis(phosphonic amide) 265 is obtained from the reaction of phosphorus(III) acid anhydride with an aryl isocyanate (Figure 11).

Photolysis of these compounds in the presence of t-butyl isocyanide afforded ketene imines 275 as depicted in Scheme 69.

The N-cyclohexyl derivative 282 (Figure 15) was prepared by insertion of N-cyclohexyl isocyanide into the SiSi bond of a disilane in the presence of Pd(0) or Pt(0) as a catalyst. The Pd(0)-catalyzed method was further used to synthesize a wide range of N-aryl analogs.

This compound is obtained from (2,6-xylimino) (TMS)methyllithium by treatment with requisite chlorosilane. In 1994 the regioselective functionalization of bis-(trimethylsilyl)methylimines with electrophiles was described <1994SL955>. Thus, silylated azomethines 284 are readily deprotonated in THF at 78 C to give the 2-azaallyllithium compounds 285, which react further with electrophilic reagents to give functionalized silylated imino derivatives 286 (Scheme 70).

The following methods were described in chapter 6.21.3.1.4 in <1995COFGT(6)639>. Silylated and germylated lithiodiazomethanes undergo transmetallation reaction upon treatment with chlorosilanes and chlorogermanes to give bis(silyl)diazomethanes (287, R1 = TMS, (TMS)SiMe2, (TMS)3Si), and bis(germanyl)diazomethanes (287, R1 = R2 = GeMe3), respectively (Figure 15). Another method for preparation of these compounds involves the transfer of the diazo group from tosyl azide to the carbanion derived from bis(TMS)- or bis(germyl)methanes. In 1995 the bis(silyldiazomethyl)polysilanes 288 were prepared by lithiation of silyldiazomethane followed by coupling with the corresponding dichloropolysilanes (Figure 16) <1995JOM(499)99>.

N-Alkyl- and N-aryliminocarbonyl derivatives

These compounds bear resemblance to the iminocarbonyl derivatives with two metalloid functions, and are prepared in a similar manner either by insertion of alkyl and aryl isocyanides into metal–metal bonds or by transmetallation reactions <1995COFGT(6)639>. Thus, the Pd(0)catalyzed insertion of isonitriles into SiSn bond of organosilylstannanes leads to the formation of organosilyl(N-alkylimino)stannanes (291, R1,R2 = Me, R3 = Pri, C6H11, C6H13, 2-MeC6H4; R1 = Me, R2 = But, R3 = Pri; R1 = Me, R2 = But, R3 = Pri). (2,6-Xylimino) (TMS)methyllithium has been converted into copper reagents 292 by transmetallation reaction with CuBrSMe2 or Cu acetylide (Figure 17) <1995COFGT(6)639>. Recently, Xue and co-workers have studied in detail the insertion reactions of aryl isocyanides into the zirconium alkyl silyl complexes (293, R1,R2,R3 = bn) <1998OM4853> and amido silyl complexes (293, R1,R2,R3 = Me2N, R1,R2 = Me2N, R3 = (Me3Si)2N) <1999OM1002>. In case of alkyl silyl complexes the isocyanide insertion occurred exclusively into the ZrSi bond to give the product 296 as a result of silyl ligand migration (Scheme 72). Alternatively, the amido silyl complexes containing different ligands offered the opportunity to observe the competition between silyl and amido ligands in the migration step and to study whether silyl or amido ligand migration is preferred. It was found that arrangement of ligands in 293 directs the attack of the isocyanide molecule. Thus, in amido silyl complex (Me2N)3ZrSi(SiMe3)3 the trans attack to the silyl ligand results in the formation of 242. However, in case of (Me2N)2[(Me3Si)N]ZrSi(SiMe3)3, steric hindrance causes the isocyanide attack to take place cis to the silyl ligand with formation of 294 where only amide migration is feasible giving rise to the formation of 296.

6.21.2.4.2

N-Aminoiminocarbonyl (diazomethane) derivatives

As described in chapter 6.21.3.2.2 in <1995COFGT(6)639>, these compounds are obtained by metallation reactions. Reaction of silyldiazomethanes with BuLi gives lithium silyldiazomethanides (297, SiR3 = TMS, tips, TMS-SiMe2). Treatment of (TMS)diazomethane with metal amides furnishes the plumbyl- and stannyl(TMS)diazomethanes 298. The stannyl(triisopropylsilyl)diazomethane 299 can be obtained from the reaction of bis(trimethylstannyl)diazomethane with Pri3SiCl. From the reaction of lithium silyldiazomethanide with Cl2Ni(PMe3)2 and Rh(PMe3)4Cl the (diazomethyl)trimethylsilanenickel(II) complex 300 and (diazomethyl)trimethylsilanerhodium(I) complex 301 were obtained, respectively (Figure 18). Since the publication of chapter 6.21.3.2.2 in <1995COFGT(6)639> no advances have occurred in this area.

6.21.3

IMINOCARBONYL DERIVATIVES CONTAINING TWO METAL FUNCTIONS

The only compounds of this class mentioned in chapter 6.21.4 in <1995COFGT(6)639> were the organometallic complexes with bridging isocyanide ligands.

General Remarks

This section will survey the chemistry of functions X1X2C¼E (X1, X2 = heteroatom substituents; E = P, As, Sb, or Bi) featuring a double bond between carbon and the heavier group 15 element. The known structural types of molecules containing these functions, arranged with increasing coordination number of element, are listed below. It is the peculiar -bonding situation inducing a trigonal planar coordination around carbon which justifies the description of compounds A–C as heteroatom analogs of alkenes (Figure 1). In contrast, the compounds of the type D contain the highly polarized CE+ bond and can be considered either as ylides or as element-stabilized carbene species.

Dicoordinate Phosphorus and Arsenic Derivatives

This section concerns compounds of the type X1X2C¼EY (E = P, As) with three heteroatom– carbon bonds, whatever the nature of substituent on the phosphorus or arsenic. Since the publication of chapter 6.22 in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)677>, the synthetic chemistry of phosphaalkenes and arsaalkenes has advanced dramatically. While no single review dealing specifically with C,C-diheteroatom-substituted derivatives has been published, related surveys have appeared. The most important of these are by Dillon and co-workers , Weber and co-workers <2002PS(177)1571, 2000EJI2425, 1999MI269, 1997MI1, 1996CB367, 1996AG(E)271>, Mackewitz and Regitz <1998S125>, Yoshifuji <1997BCJ2881>, and Denis and Gaumont <1994CR1413>. There have been no experimental reports as yet of C,C-diheterosubstituted stiba- and bismaalkenes of the type X1X2C¼EY (E = Sb, Bi).

6.22.1.2.1

Dihalomethylenephosphines, Hal2C¼PY

A variety of routes developed for the synthesis of these compounds is presented in Scheme 1. By far the most general synthetic strategy involves the base-induced dehydrohalogenation of dihalomethylchlorophosphines (route ‘‘a’’). This method, as well as the dehalogenation of trihalomethylchlorophosphines (route ‘‘b’’), has become standard procedure for C,C-dihalophosphaalkene production. In addition, the dehydrohalogenation of trihalomethylphosphines (route ‘‘c’’) and the thermolysis of trifluoromethyl(stannyl)phosphines (route ‘‘d’’) also provide dihalomethylenephosphines. It has to be pointed out that in contrast to the usual procedures in olefinic chemistry, only dehydrohalogenation or dehalogenation of sterically crowded phosphine precursors allows the isolation of monomeric phosphaalkenes. Although electronic factors are not totally negligible, steric factors are of primary importance for the kinetic stabilization of dihalomethylenephosphines <1997MI343, 1994ZOB1372>. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been applied to determine the fluorine effect on the stability of phosphaalkene F2C¼PF and its energetically low-lying rearranged isomers FC– PF2 (‘‘phosphinocarbene’’) and F3C–P (‘‘alkylphosphinidene’’). The phosphaalkene was shown to be the most stable isomer; its energy differs from that of the phosphinocarbene by 161 kJ mol1 <1997JOM(529)3, 1996MI85>. The kinetically stabilized C,C-difluorophosphaalkenes are normally prepared by gas-phase thermal Me3SnF elimination starting from F3C(R)PSnMe3 <1995COFGT(6)677, 1994CR1413>. Like alkenes, fluorine containing phosphaalkenes have a marked potential for undergoing cycloaddition reactions and, in view of the variety of 1,2- and 1,3-dipoles available, they widen the scope of the phospha-heterocycle synthesis enormously <2001ZAAC(627)1241, 1997JOM(529)177, 1995JOC7439>.

Experimental details for the preparation of phosphaalkene 3 are described in Synthetic Methods of Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry . Refluxing a solution of CHCl3, PCl3, and AlCl3 followed by treatment with MeOPCl2 gave dichloromethyl derivative 1 which on treatment with Mes*Li (Mes* = 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyl) gave the compound 2. The final conversion of 2 into phosphaalkene 3 has been accomplished through dehydrochlorination with DBU (Scheme 2).

Dillon and Goodwin have been able to prepare the phosphaalkene Cl2C¼PArf (Arf = 2,4,6tri-trifluoromethylphenyl) using a similar approach. The precursor phosphine Cl(Cl2CH)PArf was prepared by two procedures, either directly by the action of ArfPCl2 on CHLiCl2, or via the corresponding organocadmium reagent <1994JOM(469)125>. The dehalogenation route has also received further attention. A range of new phosphaalkenes including the compounds 4–6 bearing very bulky groups has been prepared in recent years by Escudie´ and co-workers <1999PS(152)153>. A variant of dehalogenation reactions should be mentioned which permits sterically crowded bis(trichloromethyl)phosphines (Cl3C)2PR (R = Mes or 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino) to be converted into phosphaalkenes 7 and 8 using (Et2N)3P <1994ZOB913>. In addition, further study has appeared of generation of the thermally unstable phosphaalkene Cl2C¼PCl <1995JOC7439>. Also reported in this study is a synthesis of the phosphaalkene precursor Cl2CHPCl2 from Cl2CHZnCl and PCl3.

The importance of steric protection for the stability of C,C-diiodophosphaalkenes, I2C¼PR, was investigated by varying the size of group R. The phosphaalkene I2C¼P-Is (Is = 2,4,6Pri3C6H2) could be prepared in 15% isolated yield by reaction of IsPCl2 and CHI3 with 2 equiv. of LDA, in analogy to the synthesis of the stable, sterically more protected I2C¼PMes* (Mes* = 2,4,6-But3C6H2). If the steric protection on the phosphorus was decreased further (R = Es = 2,4,6-Et3C6H2, R = Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2), the substituted phosphines RP(Cl)NPri2 (R = Es, Mes) were formed as main products, in addition to thermally unstable phosphaalkenes I2C¼P-Es and I2C¼P-Mes. The reaction of I2C¼P-Mes* with bromine gave an (E)/(Z) mixture of the C-bromo-C-iodophosphaalkene Br(I)C¼P-Mes*. Further reaction with bromine proceeded via Br2C¼P-Mes* and finally led to Br(Br2CH)P-Mes* <1994RTC278>.

In an interesting extension of the 1,2-elimination methodology, it has been found that lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide reacts with an excess of dimethyl carbonate to afford the bis(1,2dimethoxyethane-O,O0 )lithiooxymethylidynephosphine 10. The phosphaalkene 9 is probably an intermediate in this reaction but it has not been detected directly (Scheme 3) <1992ZAAC(612)72>. MeO (TMS)2PLi

The silatropic principle combined with the insertion reaction has been used to prepare the rather unstable metallophosphaalkenes 11, which decomposed to the doubly metallated 1,3,4thiadiphospholes by extrusion of (TMS)2S. However, the compounds 11 were intercepted as isolable [(CO)5Cr]-adducts 12 by treatment with [(Z)-cyclooctene]Cr(CO)5 (Scheme 4) <1997OM3188>.

Nitrogen-, phosphorus-, and arsenic-substituted methylenephosphines, R2E(X)C¼PY (E = N, P, As)

(i) From C,C-dihalomethylenephosphines A kinetically stabilized phosphanylidene carbenoid (Z)-16 was prepared from the phosphaalkene 3 and butyllithium (vide infra), and was allowed to react with Ph2PCl to afford the corresponding 2-chloro-1,3-diphosphapropene (Z)-17 in good yield (78%) after silica-gel column chromatographic purification. Similarly, starting from (E)-16 and Ph2PCl, an attempt was made to synthesize (E)-17. Although NMR signals due to (E)-17 were observed in the reaction mixture, the latter was isomerized to (Z)-17 after the usual work-up procedure. The treatment of (Z-)17 with [W(CO)5(THF)] leads to the complex (Z)-18 with the metal carbonyl group at the less hindered phosphorus atom (Scheme 6) <2001CC1208>. Of the compounds of the type Hal(R2As)C¼PY, up to now 19 has been isolated from the reaction of 1-bromo-2-phosphaethenyllithium with Mes*AsF2 (Scheme 7). Further addition of nbutyllithium to 19 at 90 C led to the organolithium intermediate, which lost LiF to give in nearly quantitative yield the arsaphosphaallene Mes*-As¼C¼P-Mes* <1998OM1631>.

(ii) Synthesis by condensation reactions The starting point for the now extensive chemistry of the C,C-bis(dialkylamino)methylenephosphines was the synthesis of (R2N)2C¼P-TMS via the condensation of (TMS)3P with (R2N)2CF2 <1995COFGT(6)677>. The generality of this approach is restricted, however, by possible difficulty in the preparation of the requisite geminal difluorides <2002CC1618>. An alternative route to the phosphaalkene 20a is provided by the reaction of S-methyl

(iii) Synthesis via free carbenes It has been demonstrated that N-heterocyclic carbenes are sufficiently nucleophilic to depolymerize cyclopolyphosphines such as (PPh)5 and (PCF3)4 and produce compounds of the type 21, which can be formulated either as phosphaalkenes or as carbene–phosphinidene complexes (Equation (4)) <1997CL143, 1997IC2151>. The latter formulation is favored by the observation that treatment of the compounds 21 with boranes results in the formation of P,P-bis(borane) complexes, indicating the availability of two lone pairs at phosphorus <1997CC981>.

It is also possible to prepare bis(amino)phosphaalkenes by direct reaction of a nucleophilic carbene with dichlorophenylphosphine. This approach is illustrated in Equation (5) for the saturated 1,3-dimesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene <1997IC2151>.

(iv) Derivatization of P-hydrogen- and P-silyl-methylenephosphines P-Hydrogen- and P-silyl-substituted phosphaalkenes of the type R2N(Y)C¼PX (X = H, TMS) are important reagents for the introduction of R2N(Y)C¼P groups into organic molecules via electrophilic substitution at the dicoordinated phosphorus atom. In particular, treatment of the easily accessible phosphaalkene Et2N(F)C¼PH ((E)/(Z) = 18/82) with halophosphines and haloarsines in the presence of triethylamine as base provides a route to the P-phosphino and Parsino derivatives Et2N(F)C¼P-ER2 (E = P, As) <1996ZN(B)778>. 1-Diethylamino-1-fluoro-2phosphaalkenes of the type Et2N(F)C¼P-ER3 [R3E = TMS, Me3Ge, (F3C)3Ge and Me3Sn) are prepared in moderate yields by reaction of Et2N(F)C¼PH with R3EX (X = Cl, I). The relatively stable derivative Et2N(F)C¼P-TMS was used as a substrate for reactions with pivaloyl, adamantoyl, and benzoyl chloride, respectively, which by cleavage of the Si–P bond yield the ‘push/pull’ phosphaalkenes Et2N(F)C¼P-C(O)R (R = But, Ad, Ph) <2000ZAAC(626)1141>. Similarly the phosphaalkene 20a was transformed into the P-acyl derivatives (Me2N)2C¼PC(O)R (R = But, Ph) when allowed to react with an equimolar amount of pivaloyl or benzoyl chloride <1998OM3593>. The phosphaalkenyl functionalized carbyne complexes 23 have been obtained by reacting the chlorocarbyne complexes 22 and P-silylated phosphaalkenes 20 (Equation (6)) <1997CB1305>. The reaction of 20 with Cp*(CO)2MBr (M = Fe, Ru) in hydrocarbon solvents at room temperature affords moderate yields of the metallophosphaalkenes 24 (Equation (7)) <2000EJI1185, 1993ZN(B)1784>. R2N

In the presence of either boron trifluoride or triflic acid, the diphosphapropene 26 gives the diphosphaallylic cation 27, which is then transformed into the four-membered ring system 28. In the presence of a base, the latter converts to the three-membered system 29 <1994JA6149>.

On heating in toluene the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutane-2,4-diyl 30 isomerizes by cleavage of the PC bond to give the diphosphapropene 32. A plausible intermediate of this reaction is the phosphinocarbene 31, which results from a ring opening and stabilizes by CH activation of an ortho-positioned t-butyl group to give 32 (Scheme 8) <1995AG(E)555>.

Silicon- and germanium-substituted methylenephosphines, R3Si(X)C¼PY and R3Ge(X)C¼PY

The heavier group 14 elements, especially silicon, exert a stabilizing effect on the methylenephosphine function and consequently numerous C-silyl-substituted phosphaalkenes have been synthesized and thoroughly studied. The development of C-germylated phosphaalkenes has proceeded at a slower pace and has not yet reached the degree of complexity of its silicon counterparts. However, in the 1990s a range of C-germyl-substituted phosphaalkenes has become available, and recent works have demonstrated that many of these compounds exhibit excellent thermal stability.

(i) From C,C-dihalomethylenephosphines A halogen–metal exchange/coupling route is the most effective for the preparation of highly functionalized phosphaalkenes R3E(Hal)C¼PY (E = Si, Ge) as it permits a chemical variation of the substituent pattern with retention of the P¼C unit. Several examples of the use of this strategy have been reported. For example, addition of n-butyllithium to the phosphaalkene 13 at low temperature with subsequent quenching the resulting lithio derivative with chlorotrimethylsilane furnished (Z)-33 in 98% isomeric purity <1996OM174>. Conversion of the phosphaalkene (Z)-33 to the corresponding lithio derivative with n-butyllithium, followed by the addition of 1,2-dibromoethane produced the silylated species (E)-33 as the only isomer (Scheme 9) <1997JOM(529)107>. A similar approach has been used for the preparation of C-germyl substituted phosphaalkene 34. The best yield in 34 was obtained when the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at 80 C, after addition of the difluorogermane to 13 at 100 C. The phosphaalkene 34 can also be obtained in one pot by adding 2 equiv. of BunLi to a mixture of 13 and Mes2GeF2 in Et2O since at 120 C butyllithium does not react with the GeF bond of difluorodimesitylsilane (Equation (8)) <1996OM3070>.

The carbenoid Cl(Li)C¼PMes*, which is much more stable than its bromo analog, has also been shown to behave as a nucleophile when treated with halogermanes. Thus, reaction of 2-phosphaethenyllithium with difluoro(mesityl)(fluorenyl)germane afforded the fluoro(germyl)phosphaalkene 35 in 77% yield. In contrast, the chloro analog 36 was obtained only in very low yield (10%). However, the phosphaalkene 36 could be prepared in good yield by a two-step procedure involving the prior reaction of the carbenoid Li(Cl)C¼P-Mes* with trichloromesitylgermane, followed by the addition of fluorenyllithium <1999OM1622>. As a further development of this work the synthesis of germylphosphaalkene 38 has been achieved starting from dichlorophosphaalkene 3 and difluorogermane 37 (Scheme 10) <2002JOM(643/644)202>.

(iii) By derivatization of P-halo-C,C-bis(TMS)methylenephosphines A very useful technique for the direct introduction of the (TMS)2C¼P moiety into a variety of molecules is based on the nucleophilic substitution at the dicoordinated phosphorus atom. Phosphaalkenes (TMS)2C¼P-Y (Y = Hal, TfO) are particularly useful for the creation of new phosphorus–carbon and phosphorus–heteroatom bonds. The nucleophiles more commonly employed are Grignard and organolithium reagents as well as R2N, RO, RS, and R2P anions <1995COFGT(6)677>. However, progress has recently been made with functionalized nucleophilic species. Recent work has shown that 2,2-bis(TMS)-1-phosphaethenyl substituted pyridines 41 may be prepared by the reaction of lithium salt of the bifunctional carbanions 40 with phosphaalkene 39 (Equation 9) <2002AG(E)3367>.

Particular success was achieved using heteroatom nucleophiles as the substrates. Treatment of 39 with 2 equiv. of (TMS)2PLi in DME gave lithium salt of 1,2-diphosphapropenide 42 in 76% yield. Subsequent reaction of 42 with additional (TMS)2PLi provides a route to the 2,3,4-triphosphapentadienide system 43, an intermediate for the synthesis of heterocyclic phosphorus compounds <1996AG(E)313>. Reactions of equimolar amounts of (5-C5Me5)(CO)2Fe-E(TMS)2 (E = P, As) with 39 afforded the 1-metallo-1-phospha(arsa)-2-phosphapropenes 44 <1995CB665, 1996CB219>.

Reaction of 39 with AlCl3 in the presence of Ph3P results in the formation of the phosphine adduct of a methylenediylphosphenium cation 46. A similar product 47 containing the same cation was obtained by treatment of the phosphaalkene 45 with Ph3P. Finally, the phosphaalkene 46 reacts with (Ph3P)2Ni(COD) to give the complex 48 via a phosphine shift from phosphorus to the metal (Scheme 12) <1994JA2191>.

Fischer-type carbene pentacarbonyltungsten complexes, which are functionalized by the bis(TMS)methylenephosphino moiety bonded to oxygen 49 or nitrogen 50, are synthesized by reaction of the O-Li and N-Li precursor carbene complexes with 39 (Equation (10)) <2000JOM(613)56>. Concerning the last example, it is worth noting that metallaheterobutadiene species of the type 50 easily rearrange into 2H-azaphosphirenes <2000EJI1253, 2001JOM(617/ 618)423, 2002JOM(643/644)253>.

(iv) Miscellaneous Dichlorophosphino ylide TMS(Cl2P)C¼PPh3 loses a chloride ion to Lewis acidic metal chlorides (AlCl3, GaCl3, and SnCl4). In the (E)- and (Z)-isomers so generated, a considerable part of the phosphenium charge is transferred to the phosphonium center leading to a phosphaalkene structure 51 <1996HAC355>. So far, very little is known about compounds containing a Ge2C¼PY backbone. In view of this, it is interesting to note that in the absence of trapping reagent, the germaphosphaallene Mes2Ge¼C¼P-Mes* gives two types of dimers: the ‘‘classical’’ head to tail dimer 52 and the dimer 53 due to cycloaddition between a Ge¼C and a P¼C double bond. The dimer 53 is the major product <1996OM3070>.

Metallated methylenephosphines, LnM(X)C¼PY

These have been intensively studied in the last few years because of their potential as synthetic blocks in organic chemistry <1995CB465, 1996OM174, 1998CL651>.

(i) Phosphaalkenyl metal species The compounds M(Hal)C¼PY are the phosphorus analogs of alkylidene carbenoids and useful synthons for novel C-functionalized phosphaalkenes (vide supra). Halogen–lithium exchange reactions provide the most general method for the preparation of phosphaalkenyllithium derivatives. Recently new developments in this area have been reported. Treatment of THF or DME solutions of the phosphaalkene Cl2C¼PMes* 3 with excess n-butyllithium afforded cleanly the corresponding carbenoid as DME-solvate ((Z)-54a) or THFsolvate ((Z)-54b). (E)-54 was generated analogously by metallation of (E)-Cl(H)C¼P-Mes* with excess BunLi and identified by 31P NMR spectroscopy. Unlike the (Z)-isomer, (E)-54 was found to be unstable under reaction conditions and decomposed to give Mes*C¼P and Mes*(Li)C¼PBun as main products <1999JA519>.

The phosphaethenyllithium reagent 54 was transmetallated with MgBr2, ZnCl2, and HgCl2 to furnish the new carbenoids 55. Bis(phosphaalkenyl)–metal species 56 can be made by reacting (Z)-54 with 0.5 equiv. of the metal halide (Scheme 13). The stability order of the newly formed phosphavinylidene carbenoids corresponds to the expected sequence Li < Mg < Zn < Hg. Whereas (Z)-54 decomposes at temperatures above 50 C, the magnesium carbenoids 55a and 56a slowly decompose at 15 C. The zinc carbenoids 55b and 56b are stable at room temperature for at least a few days. The mercury carbenoids 55c and 56c are the most stable one; they can be stored at room temperature in the air <1996OM174>. Li Cl

Bromium–lithium exchange at 90 C between (Z)-Br(TMS)C¼PMes* and BunLi furnished ((E)/(Z))-Li(TMS)C¼PMes* ((E)/(Z) = 1:1). Transmetallation of the latter with MgBr2 or ZnCl2 furnished only the trans-metal isomer of XM(TMS)C¼PMes* (MX = MgBr, ZnCl) <1996OM174>. A convenient synthesis of 1-arylthio-2-phosphaethenyllithiums (Z)-57 is based on brominelithium exchange of (Z)-14 with n-butyllithium. During the reaction, the (E)/(Z)-isomerization was observed even at 100 C in THF. Treatment of (Z)-57 with 0.5 equiv. of HgCl2 in THF affords the corresponding organomercury compounds 58. The transmetallation with CuCl2 gives the 1,4-diphospha-1,3-butadiene derivatives 59 as homocoupled products presumably via the corresponding phosphaalkenylcopper species (Scheme 14) <2000CL1390>.

Further consideration has been given to the semi-bridging isocyaphide platinum complexes 63 <1994OM2454, 1994OM2444>. The syntheses of 63 begin with the platinum complexes 61, whose preparation was reported previously <1993OM4265>. Although no intermediates were observed by 31P NMR spectroscopy during the reaction with Pt(PEt3)4, a possible mechanism for the formation of 63 could involve intermediates 62 resulting from oxidative addition of the C-Hal bond to Pt(PEt3)4. Loss of PEt3 from this intermediate followed by PtPt bond formation would give the final product. Complexes 63 were also prepared by the direct reaction of Cl2C¼PMes* with 2 equiv. of Pt(PEt3)4 in benzene at room temperature but the yield (<40%) was much lower than that obtained from the reaction of 61 with Pt(PEt3)4 (Scheme 15).

C,C-diheterosubstituted methylenearsines, X2C¼AsY

In comparison with C,C-diheterosubstituted phosphaalkenes, the area of corresponding molecules with an arsenic–carbon double bond is rather poorly explored. Even so, since 1994 various methods for the synthesis of hetero substituted arsaalkenes have been developed. Some of them mirror the methods elaborated for the synthesis of the related phosphaalkenes. As shown in Scheme 16 the action of some lithiated halomethanes on Mes*AsF2 affords arsaalkenes halogenated at the alkene carbon atom. Thus, the dibromoarsaalkene 64 was prepared by a one-pot synthesis from an aryldifluoroarsane and LiCHBr2. The C,C-dichloro- and C,C-diiodo-arsaalkenes 65 and 66 were prepared by a similar route from Mes*AsF2 and, respectively, LiCCl3 and LiCI3. However, in contrast to the synthesis of 64, in which 2 equiv. of LiCHBr2 was required, only 1 equiv. of LiCCl3 and LiCI3 was used; the formation of 65 and 66 from the probable intermediates X3CAs(F)Mes* was effected by addition with a second equivalent of n-butyllithium at 90 C <1996OM2683>.

[1,3]-Silyl migration in combination with the preceding addition reaction, described for the synthesis of phosphaalkenes, can also be used to obtain arsaalkenes. Thus, the reaction of the metalodisilylarsanes Cp*(CO)2M-As(TMS)2 (M = Fe, Ru) with carbon disulfide furnished the metaloarsaalkenes (TMS-S)2C¼P-M(CO)2Cp* as isolable compounds in yields up to 80% <1997OM3188>. The reaction of (CF3)2AsH with secondary amines in a molar ratio of 1:3 allows the preparation of C-fluoro-C-aminoarsaalkenes 68a–68c in 15–35% yield. The main product of the reaction with dimethylamine is the bis(amino)methylenearsine 69a. With Et(Pri2)NH or Pri2NH the corresponding derivatives F[Pri(Et)N]C¼As-CF3 68d and F(Pri2N)C¼P-CF3 68e, respectively, are formed only in traces 68d, or not at all 68e. The synthesis is assumed to involve an initial base-assisted HF elimination to the transient 2-arsaperfluoropropene 67. This step is seriously hindered for the bulky amines and the formation of the corresponding arsaalkenes 68d,68e is suppressed. Evidence for this idea is provided by the direct conversion of 67 into [Pri2(Et)N]2C¼As-CF3 69d and (Pri2N)2C¼PCF3 69e by exposure to the respective amines (Scheme 17) <1995ZN(B)94>. F

The C,C-bis(amino)arsaalkene 70 have been obtained from the reaction of LiAs(TMS)22THF with a thiuronium iodide (Equation (12)). Spontaneous condensation occurs upon mixing of reagents in pentane to give 70 as orange oil in 78% yield <1996CB367>. Condensation of Tp0 (CO)2MCCl (M=Mo, W; Tp0 = HB(3,5-Me2HC3N2)3) with the arsaalkene 70 afforded the novel arsaalkenyl carbyne complexes Tp0 (CO)2MC-As¼C(NMe2)2 (M = Mo, W) <1999OM4603>. Another type of periphery reaction takes place when the arsaalkene 70 is treated with (5-Cp*)(CO)2FeBr n-pentane.

The reaction between nucleophilic carbenes and pnictinidene oligomers described in Section 6.22.1.2.3 also occurs in the case of arsenic. 1,3-Dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene reacts with hexaphenylcyclohexaarsane to form the arsaalkene 71. The reaction appears to tolerate strongly -electron-withdrawing substituent on arsenic. For instance, the arsaalkene 72 was obtained in 61% yield by reacting 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene with tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)cyclotetraarsane (Equation (13)) <1997IC2151>. Mes N +

With the arsaalkene 64 as starting material, the new C-bromo-C-silyl-substituted arsaalkene 73 was obtained by successive reaction with n-butyllithium and chlorotrimethylsilane (Scheme 18). The air-stable 73 can be further functionalized by means of Li/Br exchange <2002OM1531>. In a similar way, treating 64 with n-butyllithium in ether at 90 C and then with Mes*AsF2 gave the arsaalkene 74 which is a valuable precursor for the synthesis of 1,3-diarsaallene Mes*As¼C¼As-Mes* <2000JA12880>.

Tricoordinate Phosphorus Derivatives Stabilized [X2C¼PY2]+ species

Several synthetic routes to the methylenephosphonium ions have been developed, but each one is appropriate for only a limited number of substrates <1997ACR486>. The most general synthesis is based on the heterolytic cleavage of a PCl bond in compounds of the type X2C¼P(Cl)Y2. Thus, the attack of AlCl3 on the PCl bond in the ylide 75 generates the methylenephosphonium salt 76 (Equation (14)) <1992AG(E)99>. The limitation of the method is illustrated by the reaction of ylide 77 with GaCl3 which affords the covalent complex 78 and not the corresponding methylenephosphonium salt (Equation (15)) <1995OM3762>.

Several phosphaalkene transition metal complexes have been prepared by the reaction of free phosphaalkenes with Fischer carbene complexes. Thus, treatment of the phosphaalkene 39 with in situ generated carbene complex anions results in stereoselective P–C coupling to form 2-phosphabutadiene complexes 80 and 81 (Scheme 19) <1997AG(E)1095>. When the chromium- and tungsten-[ethoxy(phenyl)methylene] complexes were combined with the phosphaalkenes (Me2N)2C¼PR (R = But, TMS), the phosphaalkene complexes 82 and 84 were isolated in 47–55% yield by fractioning crystallization. The complexes 83 and 85 were also formed, but they cannot be separated from the alkene 86 without decomposition (Scheme 20) <2001CEJ5401>.

s 3l5-Methylenephosphoranes, X2C¼P(¼Z)Y

Progress in the chemistry of -bonded three-coordinate pentavalent phosphorus compounds has been reviewed <1997CCR(158)275>. Since their discovery in 1974 hundreds of stable 35phosphoranes have been synthesized and thoroughly investigated. Early work concentrated on preparation of various structural types of monomeric Q¼P(¼Z)Y compounds. More recently the chemistry of functionalized 35-bis(ylene)phosphoranes has been developed, resulting both in valuable new reactions and synthetically useful, highly reactive polyfunctional 35-P reagents.

(i) From organodichlorophosphines Experimental details for the preparation of [(TMS)2C¼]2PCl from MeOPCl2, Li(Cl)C(TMS)2 and BCl3 are described in Synthetic Methods of Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry <1996MI82>. A successful alternative approach to the title compound utilizes reactions of the monomeric bis(trimethylsilyl)methylenephosphines (vide infra). The ferrocenyl-substituted bis(methylene)phosphorane 87 was synthesized in 52% yield by addition of 3 equiv. of bis(trimethylsilyl)methylenecarbenoid to ferrocenyldichlorophosphine (Scheme 21). The X-ray structure of 87 shows some unusual structural features, which indicate considerable electronic interaction of the ferrocenyl group and the 35-phosphorane unit <1997JOM(541)237>.

(ii) From methylenephosphines and iminophosphines The preparation of X2C¼P(¼Z)Y compounds by 1,1-oxidative addition reactions to dicoordinated phosphorus species is currently the method of choice in the synthesis of many types of 35-P derivatives. For example, Niecke and co-workers have successfully used this approach to prepare dichloromethylene(imino)phosphorane 89, which on lithiation with n-butyllithium gave the iminophosphoranylidene carbenoid 90 (Scheme 22) <1994AG(E)982>. The application of the same protocol to the phosphaalkene 91 led to the bis(methylene)phosphorane 92. However, the attempt to extend this strategy to prepare the dibromomethylene compound 93 by treatment of 91 with bromoform and n-butyllithium produced only a 10% yield of the desired product. A more satisfactory result was obtained in a modified procedure which involved the use of potassium t-butoxide as base and afforded 93 in 91% yield. The oxidation of 91 into 94 by a chlorofluorocarbene moiety was achieved by addition of a mixture of 91 and CFCl3 to a titanium(0) suspension (Equation 20) <1995AG(E)1849, 1999JA5953>.

Treatment of 91 with dimethylsulfonium methylide cleanly afforded the bis(methylene)phosphorane 95. Subsequent reaction of 95 with n-butyllithium proceeded via H/Li exchange to give the phosphoranylidene ylide 96, which was isolated as highly air- and moisture-sensitive crystals (Scheme 23). The compound 96 may be easily transformed into new organometallic derivatives with retention of the low-coordinate phosphorus center <1997JA12410>. A variation on the same theme was also provided by the synthesis of the methylenephosphorane 98 containing a CH2 moiety at an sp2-hybridized P(V) center. While compound 98 is stable at ambient temperatures, it easily isomerizes by heating a toluene solution at 100 C to give the corresponding methylene(imino)phosphorane 99 (Scheme 24) <1997CC293>.

Two convenient routes for the preparation of P-halo-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methylene]phosphoranes 102–104 have been reported <1997S1013>. The reaction of phosphaalkene 100 with 1 equiv. of I2 resulted in a quantitative yield of the P-iodo derivative 104, which on treatment with AgCl gave P-chloro-bis(methylene)phosphorane 102. In a second synthetic route, phosphaalkene 101 undergoes a fast rearrangement to the compound 102 when traces of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) are present. Reactions of 102 with a little molar excess of bromo- or iodotrimethylsilane readily lead to bromo- and iodo-substituted compounds in truly excellent yields after work-up (Scheme 25). TMS

(iii) Derivatization via phosphoranylidene carbenoids As mentioned in the previous section, phosphoranylidene carbenoids of the type Hal(Li)C¼P(¼Z)Y themselves represent valuable starting point for the synthesis of functionalized 35-methylenephosphoranes. They exhibit a pronounced carbanion character and remarkable stability even at elevated temperatures (10 C) due to the incorporation of the carbenoidic carbon atom into a heteroallylic -system <1999JA5953, 2002OM4919>. Thus, in typical carbanion fashion, the phosphoranylidene carbenoid 90 reacted with chlorotrimethylsilane to afford the silylated species Cl(TMS)C¼P(¼NMes*)Mes* <1994AG(E)982>. An analogous reaction with formation of a protonated species was observed when Br(Li)C¼P[¼C(TMS)2]Mes* was treated with water <2002OM4919>.

Metallation of the chlorofluoromethylene moiety proceeded exclusively via Li/Cl exchange.

6.22.1.4

Tetracoordinate Phosphorus Derivatives

The survey covers all types of isolable C,C-diheteroatom-substituted phosphorus ylides having a formal structure X1X2C¼PY3. For a treatment of materials published prior to 1994, readers are referred to chapter 6.22.1.4 in <1995COFGT(6)677>. This topic also forms the subject of two reviews <1996T1855, 1997RCR225> and a recent monography . There are four general methods for the production of the title compounds: (i) the direct introduction of a methylene moiety (X1X2C) into tervalent phosphorus compounds (PY3); (ii) the synthesis via the dehydrohalogenation or dehalogenation of corresponding phosphonium salts; (iii) the oxidative ylidation of tertiary phosphines containing a mobile hydrogen atom at the -carbon atom and behaving as CH acids; and (iv) the synthesis via a 1,2(C ! P) halogenotropic shift. Other methods for the synthesis of C-heterosubstituted phosphorus ylides are mainly restricted to examples including substitution reactions at the ylidic carbon atom.

6.22.1.4.1

Dihalosubstituted ylides, Hal2C¼PY3

The reaction of a halocarbene or carbenoid with a tertiary phosphine remains one of the most important methods for the preparation of phosphorus ylides bearing two halogen atoms at the ylidic carbon. Thus, the C,C-diidomethylenephosphorane 111 has recently been successfully generated from iodoform, triphenylphosphine, and ButOK. The ylide 111 can then undergo the Wittig reactions in situ (Scheme 29) <1999TL8579>. Interestingly, however, the alkenes 112 could not be obtained when ylide 111 was generated from CI4 and Ph3P <1985CC296>. It was recognized that the 1,2(C ! P) chlorotropic rearrangement might make available ylides containing a dihalomethylene group. Thus, trichloromethylphosphine Cl3C–P(NMe2)2 can be converted into the P-chloro ylide Cl2C¼P(Cl) (NMe2)2 by boiling in dichloromethane <1996T1855>. Recently study of the chlorotropy of phosphine systems was extended to Cl3C–PCl2, which may potentially undergo chlorotropic conversion to Cl2C¼PCl3. However, 35Cl NQR spectroscopy and

Oxygen-, sulfur-, and selenium-substituted ylides, RE(X)C¼PY3 (E = O, S, or Se)

The development of phosphonium ylides bearing oxygen substituents at the -carbon atom has proceeded at a slow pace. This slow growth may have been due to the low thermal stability of these species. Ab initio quantum chemical investigations show that the presence of an oxygen atom at the ylidic carbon atom stabilizes singlet carbenes but not ylides. Therefore, oxygensubstituted methylenephosphoranes have an enhanced tendency to dissociate into carbenes and tertiary phosphines <1986CB1331>. A new example of sulfur-substituted phosphonium ylides includes the compounds 114 and 115. The former has been isolated from the reaction of bis(diphenylphosphino)methane with hexafluorothioacetone dimer (HFTA) (Scheme 30). The first step of the reaction gives unstable carbodiphosphorane 113 which decomposes at temperatures higher than 70 C with the formation of a complex mixture of products. However, when an excess of HFTA was used, only the sulfur-substituted ylide 114 was formed <2001EJI2377>. Synthesis of the ylide 115, bearing thioether and phosphoryl groups at the carbon atom has been accomplished by thiophilic reaction of ethyldiphenylphosphinite with phosphonodithioformate (Equation (21)) <1994PS(86)169>.

Nitrogen-, phosphorus-, arsenic-, and antimony-substituted ylides, R2E(X)C¼PY3 (E = N, P, As, or Sb)

Ab initio quantum chemical calculations carried out by Bestmann and co-workers <1986CB1331> predict instability for aminomethylenephosphoranes with respect to dissociation to a phosphine and a singlet carbene. Not surprisingly, efforts to obtain ylides of the type (R2N)2C¼PY3 were unsuccessful <1996T1855>. C-Amino-substituted phosphonium ylides are accessible only when anion-stabilizing substituent (X) at the ylide carbon atom compensate for the retarding influence of the nitrogen atom or when the latter is a part of aromatic or conjugated system. Thus, the stable phosphoniotriazaphospholide 116 and several related cyclic products were prepared from the products of the condensation of (TMS)2C¼PPh3 with PCl3 which serve as synthetic equivalents of a phosphoniophosphaethyne cation [Ph3P–CP]+. For instance,

682

Functions Containing Doubly Bonded P, As, Sb, Bi, Si, Ge, B, or a Metal

cycloaddition reactions of [Ph3P–CP]+X (X = AlCl4, GaCl4 or TfO) with phenyl azide leads to the zwitterionic phosphoniotriazaphospholide 116 and to the phosphoniotriazaphospholes 117. The former readily undergoes a cycloreversion yielding Ph3PCN2 as intermediate. Its cycloaddition affords the remarkably stable diphosphoniodiazaphospholide chloride 118 as the final product <1997CB89>. N N N N

The preparative chemistry of the highly reactive ylides bearing functionalized phosphorus substituents at the ylidic carbon atom, and that of related cyclic compounds, has continued to be an active area. Following earlier studies of the generation of phosphorus-substituted ylides by the condensation of silyl ylides with chlorophosphines, chloroarsines, and chlorostibines, it has been shown that reaction of silicon-substituted ylides with phosphorus trihalides gives rise to C-halophosphinyl ylides. Thus, the convenient procedure for the synthesis of ylides 121 and 122 involves the condensation of trimethylsilyl ylides R(TMS)C¼PPh3 with PCl3. The ylide 121 resulting from (TMS)2C¼PPh3 can react with a second mole of PCl3 to give 122 (Equation (23)). Interestingly, the bis(phosphinyl) ylides (Ph2P)2C¼PPh3, (ClPhP)2C¼PPh3 and (Cl2P)2C¼PPh3 (X-ray data reported) have analogous molecular structures. Details reflect the different charge transfer from the ylide center to the phosphinyl substituents <1999ZN(B)1>. It may be also noted in passing that ylide 121 readily undergoes reduction with LiAlH4 to give the H2P-functionalized ylide H2P(TMS)C¼PPh3 <1998EJI381>. R

The trimethylsilyl ylide (TMS)2C¼PPh3 reacts smoothly with 2 equiv. of AsCl3 to give the bis(dichloroarsinyl)methylenephosphoranes 124. If 1 equiv. of AsCl3 is used, the substitution reaction stops at the dichloroarsinyl ylide 123, which slowly loses a further molecule of chlorotrimethylsilane leading to the cyclic ylide 125. For a structural proof 125 was converted to its bis(diphenylphosphinyl) derivative 126. If performed in pyridine, the reaction of equimolar amounts of (TMS)2C¼PPh3 and AsCl3 leads to a tetramer 127 (Scheme 31) <2000CEJ3531>. Likewise, 2,4-diphosphoranediyl-1,3-diphosphetanes are obtained from (TMS)2C¼PPh3 and PCl3 or PBr3 <1997CB1519>. The versatility of the substitution reactions is also demonstrated by the synthesis of highly functionalized ylide 128. It subsequently gets involved in an intramolecular reaction between the remaining PCl2 group and the phenyl ring to give the cyclic ylide 129. Other C-(dichlorophosphinyl) ylides, e.g., 130, have been obtained by the carbodiphosphorane route (Scheme 32) <1997JOM(529)87, 1996ZN(B)773, 1995CB379>.

The condensation of dichlorophosphinyl-substituted ylides Cl2P(R)C¼PPh3 with (TMS)2S and (TMS)2Se has been used to effect the formation of the first stable monomeric phosphorus monochalcogenides 134. Ylides 134 are stabilized by a high contribution of the zwitterionic resonance forms, which follows both from the NMR and from an X-ray structure determination. Alkylation of 134 resulted in alkylchalcogeno(ylidyl)phosphenium salts 135 <1995CB1207>. The initial product of condensation of Cl2P(TMS)C¼PPh3 with (TMS)3P is a diphosphene 136, but, at ambient temperatures, dimerization to an ylide-substituted cyclotetraphosphine 137 occurs (Scheme 34) <1997CB1801>.

A carbene route has also received further study. Thus, the stable carbenes R2P(TMS)C have recently been used as reagents for the ylide synthesis. Instantaneous and quantitative formation of ylides 138 occurred when 1 equiv. of phosphine was added at 0 C to a solution of the carbene [(c-Hex)2N]2P(TMS)C] in pentane <1999AG(E)3727>. As a further development of this work the synthesis of phosphinyl ylides 139 has been achieved as shown in Scheme 35 <2002JA2506>. These same workers discovered that treatment of the stable [bis(diisopropylamino)phosphino](silyl)carbene with bis(diisopropylamino)phosphenium triflate leads to the formation of the adduct 140. The synthesis of ylide 141 was achieved by the reaction of 140 with methyl magnesium bromide (Scheme 36) <2000SCI(289)754>.

Silicon-, germanium-, and boron-substituted ylides, R3E(X)C¼PY3 (E = Si or Ge) and R2B(X)C¼PY3

There are few reports in the literature on the synthesis of silicon- and germanium-substituted phosphorus ylides via the dehydrohalogenation of corresponding phosphonium salts . These reactions generally proceed in high yields and tolerate the presence of a broad range of functional groups. The ability of phosphinomethanides [R2P–C(X)Y]Li+ to react with certain electrophiles via the phosphorus atom has been used for the preparation of new types of silyl ylides. As an example, PhSiCl3 reacts with 142 to give a fluxional, pentacoordinate silicon compound 143, which slowly rearranges to the tetraheteroatom substituted methane derivative 144 and further to the ylide 145 (Scheme 37). An analogous ylide (ButCl2Si) (TMS)C¼PMe2–PMe2 is obtained from ButSiCl3 and 142 instantaneously <1994ZN(B)1798>. Other reactions of lithium phosphinomethanides with polyfunctional chlorosilanes yield novel five- and six-membered heterocycles 146–150 with Si and P ring members .

The reactions of ECl3 (E = P, As, Sb) with 3 equiv. of the phosphinomethanide 151 in all three cases leads to element–phosphorus bond formation and the first element–tris(P-ylide) derivatives 152–154 are obtained, along with some byproducts. For BiCl3, only the bisylide 155, besides elemental bismuth, is obtained. No Bi-containing compounds could be identified (Scheme 38) <1997JOM(529)151>.

The reaction of dichlorophosphines RPCl2 (R = Me, Ph, But, Cy2N) with 151 is dependent on the nature of R and leads, at least in part, to some unexpected products. As in the reactions of ECl3 (E = P, As, Sb), PP bond formation is also observed in the reaction of MePCl2 with 2 equiv. of 151. The bisylide 156 is obtained in good yield, but traces of 155 are also formed. If the steric demand of R in RPCl2 is increased, i.e., by reacting PhPCl2 with 151, in addition to 155 and 157, a new coupling product, the diphosphine bridged bisylide 158, is formed (Scheme 39). With further increase in the steric demand of R, i.e., with ButPCl2, only (ButP)3 and (ButP)4 were obtained. An analogous result is observed in the reaction of ButPCl2 with LiC(PMe2)2(TMS) <1997JOM(529)151>. Among the C,C-diheterosubstituted phosphonium ylides the only well-characterized boronsubstituted ylide is (MeO)2B(TMS)C¼P(NR2)2OMe prepared by the reaction of a stable carbene with B(OMe)3 <1994AG(E)578>.

Metal-substituted ylides, LnM(X)C¼PY3

Compared with the rich chemistry of transition metal ylide complexes, metallated phosphorus ylides, which formally arise from substitution of a hydrogen atom at the ylidic carbon by a metal atom and feature a dicarbanion center, have been investigated only briefly <1996T1855, 1994CRV1299>. Recently, reaction of the stable phosphinyl(silyl)carbenes with organolithium compounds was proposed as a new route to the -(lithiomethylene)phosphoranes <1999AG(E)678>. Indeed, addition of 1 equiv. of n-butyllithium to a solution of carbene R2P(TMS)C in pentane at

78 C instantaneously and quantitatively led to the desired ylide 159. Metallated ylide 159 is highly moisture sensitive and is easily transformed into the ylide TMS(H)C¼PR2Bun. It also reacts with electrophiles such as MeI and Ph2PCl to give the corresponding ylides 160 and 161, respectively (Scheme 40).

Tetracoordinate Arsenic, Antimony, and Bismuth Derivatives

In comparison with C,C-diheterosubstituted phosphonium ylides (X1X2C¼PY3), the area of respective arsenic, antimony, and bismuth derivatives is poorly explored . This may have been due to the lack of general methodology for the synthesis of suitable precursors and in part to the low thermal stability of compounds bearing a formal EV¼C double bond (E = As, Sb, Bi). The difference between phosphonium ylides and their heavier analogs is commonly ascribed to the less efficient overlap between the sp2-C orbitals and the larger and more diffuse 4d orbitals of arsenic, stibium, and bismuth. Therefore, contribution of the ‘‘covalent’’ canonical form should become smaller as compared with the corresponding phosphonium ylides. Arsonium, and especially stibonium and bismuthonium ylides, are commonly less stable than their phosphorus counterparts and have a tendency to decompose both in solution and in solid state unless there is electronic stabilization. A significant increase in stability of the ylides X1X2C¼EY3, is observed, however, if electron withdrawing groups (X) such as carbonyl or sulfonyl are conjugated with the ylidic carbon atom <1998JOM(557)37, 1996BCJ2673>. The methods available for the synthesis of arsonium, stibonium, and bismuthonium ylides are nearly all analogous to methods used for the corresponding phosphonium ylides.

C,C-Diheterosubstituted arsonium ylides, X2C¼AsY3

Bis(sulfonyl)methylenetriphenylarsoranes, (RO2S)2C¼PPh3, remain only one type of well-characterized and studied C,C-diheteroatom-substituted arsonium ylides. No information about synthesis of other C,C-diheterosubstituted species is available since the publication of chapter 6.22.1.5.1 in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(6)677>.

Treating Br2C(SO2CF3)2 with 3 equiv. of tributylstibine results in the formation of stable stibonium ylide 162 (Equation (24)). The same group has also shown that treatment of sodium derivatives of the corresponding bis(sulfonyl)methanes with Ph3BiCl2 gives rise to the bismuthonium ylides 163 (Equation (25)). From the NMR spectra, zwitterionic canonical structures containing Bi+–C or Bi+–C¼S–O units may be assumed <1994JFC75>.

Tricoordinate Silicon and Germanium Derivatives

Progress over the past decade in the chemistry of p–p systems involving carbon and the heavier group 14 elements (Si, Ge) has been reviewed <1996MI71, B-1996MI367, B-1998MI857, 1998CCR565, 1999MI113>. The most readily available reaction pathways used to produce C,C-diheterosubstituted sila- and germaethenes are: (i) 1,2-elimination of a salt (LiY) from -lithiated silanes or germanes R2E(Y)–C(Li)R2 carrying a good leaving group (Y) on the element atom, (ii) 1,2-(SiC) silyl carbene–silaethene rearrangement, and (iii) coupling between a silylene or germanium(II) derivative and a nucleophilic carbene.

6.22.2.1.1

Diheterosubstituted silaethenes, X2C¼SiY2

Full details have appeared of studies of the formation, detection, and stabilization of the shortlived silaethene 167 <2000JOM(598)292, 2000JOM(598)304>. This compound is formed by reaction of trisilylmethanes 165 with alkali metal organyls or silyls via intermediates 166 and, in the absence of trapping agents, reacts with 166 to give the compounds 168, which in turn eliminate MX under formation of the 1,3-disilacyclobutane 169. In the presence of an excess of organyl or silyl azides, which act as very active trapping reagents for the silaethene, the [3+2]cycloadducts 170 are formed (Scheme 41). Direct detection of the silaethene 167 has been accomplished by laser-flash photolysis of Me3SiMe2SiC(N2)SiMe3 <2001OM5707>. Bromotrisilylmethanes 171–173 have been used as sources of the corresponding isomeric silaethenes with six Me and two Ph substituents. Phenyllithium converts the above compounds by Br/Li-exchange to lithium organyls, which in ether solution are in equilibrium with unsaturated silicon derivatives. The intermediacy of the silaethenes has been established by their trapping with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene <1996JOM(524)147>.

Dehalogenation of the sterically overloaded trisilylmethanes R*(TMS)BrC–Si(X)Me2 has been exploited for the synthesis of silaethene R*(TMS)C¼SiMe2 (R* = But3Si). Reaction of R*(TMS)BrC–Si(X)Me2 (X = F, TfO) with PhLi leads to R*(TMS)LiC–Si(Ph)Me2, while R*(TMS)BrC–Si(F)Me2 reacts with But3SiNa to give R*(TMS)NaC–Si(F)Me2. The latter compound transforms in THF in the presence of Me3SiCl into the corresponding silaethene, which may be trapped by reactants like MeOH, Me2CO, or 2,3-dimethylbutadiene. It follows from this study that the metastability of compounds (ButnMe3n Si) (TMS)C¼SiMe2 with an increasing number of But groups pass through a maximum for n = 2 <1997JOM(531)47, 1996CB471>. Using a new synthetic pathway, Oehme and co-workers recently succeeded in preparing a variety of new C,C-disilyl-substituted silaethenes. They observed that dichloromethyltris(trimethylsilyl)silane reacted with an excess of organolithium reagents RLi (R = Me, Bun, Ph) under substitution of the two chlorine atoms and a complete reorganization of the whole substitution pattern of the molecule to produce silanes of the type (TMS)2CH–Si(TMS)R2 <1999OM1815>. As shown in Scheme 42, in this process the transient silaethenes 174 and 175 occur as intermediates, which are trapped by the organolithium reagent present in the reaction mixture, and the reaction affords 176 as the end product after aqueous workup. However, if, for the reaction with Cl2CHSi(TMS)3, an organolithium reagent is chosen with a group R, which, when introduced at the silicon atom, provides sufficient stabilization of a silaethene system through an intramolecular donor–acceptor interaction, it possible to halt the reaction at this stage and to isolate a silaethene. This was achieved, for example, in the reactions of Cl2CHSi(TMS)3 with suitably functionalized organolithium compounds in the molar ratio 1:2,

690

Functions Containing Doubly Bonded P, As, Sb, Bi, Si, Ge, B, or a Metal

which led to the isolation of intramolecularly donor-stabilized silaethenes 177–179 <2000AG(E)1610, 2001JOM(621)261, 2001CEJ987>. By the use of sterically congested organolithium derivatives, the nucleophilic addition of RLi to the C¼Si bond can also be prevented and kinetically stabilized silaethenes obtained. Thus, silaethene 180 was synthesized by the reaction of Cl2CHSi(TMS)2Ph with 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyllithium. Similarly, silaethenes 181 and 182 were prepared from Cl2CHSi(TMS)3 and 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyllithium or 2-t-butyl-4,5,6-trimethylphenyllithium (Scheme 43) <2001EJI481>.

Ottosson and co-workers <2002OL1915> have used Brook’s procedure to generate transient silaethenes R2N(TMS-O)C¼Si(TMS)2 (R = Me, Ph). Formation of the latter through photolysis of the compound Me2NC(O)Si(TMS)3 was attempted before and found to be unsuccessful since no reaction occurred upon long irradiation <1991JOM(403)293>. In a modification of this

method, the silaethenes have been prepared by thermolysis of the silylamides R2NC(O)– Si(TMS)3. The short-lived silaethenes are trapped with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene to quantitatively yield only one of the possible diastereomers of the cyclic allylsilanes. Ab initio calculations reveal that the silaethene Me2N(TMS-O)C¼Si(TMS)2 is characterized by reversed C+–Si bond polarization and features a carbon–silicon single bond and a pyramidal silicon atom.

C,C-Diheterosubstituted germaethenes, X2C¼GeY2

The C¼Ge bond is of low intrinsic thermodynamic stability, so that stable germaethene derivatives all contain sterically bulky substituents at both germanium and carbon <1998CCR565>. Uncomplicated germaethenes exists only as transient species. The methods available for their synthesis are nearly all analogous to methods used for the corresponding silaethenes <2000JOM(598)292, 2000JOM(598)304>. The most established process for the generation of transient C,C-diheterosubstituted germaethenes is based on the formation of the C¼Ge bond by the salt elimination method. For example, germaethene (TMS)2C¼GeMe2 is formed as a short-lived intermediate by reaction of (TMS)2BrC–GeMe2X with RLi via (TMS)2LiC–GeMe2X (X = electronegative substituent, R = organyl) <2000JOM(598)304>. Interestingly, thermolysis of 184 at 100 C in the presence of propene, butadiene, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene or isobutene leads to ene reaction product and/or [4+2]-cycloadducts of the germaethene 186. The formation of these trapping products proves the intermediate existence of a compound with Ge¼C bond and indicates that the equilibrium between 185 and 186 lies at the side of germaethene (Scheme 45) <1996JOM(511)239, 1996JOM(519)107>.

Adduct 188 can be prepared by reaction of an excess of anthracene in benzene with germaethene precursor 187. Above 100 C it decomposes reversibly via thermal cycloreversion into (TMS)2C¼GeMe2 and comparatively unreactive anthracene. The half-life of the anthracene adduct in the presence of 2,3-dimethylbutadiene (DMB) in t-butylbenzene on thermolysis at 130 C is found to be 12 h. In the absence of DMB, thermolysis leads to the dimer of the germaethene (Scheme 46). TMS TMS Li

Among the stable C,C-diheterosubstituted germaethenes the only well-characterized and studied compounds are adducts obtained from the germylenes and the free carbenes. New examples are the germaethenes 189 and 190 prepared by reactions between the appropriate germanium(II) compounds and nucleophilic carbenes <1993IC1541, 2000JCS(D)3094>. Related carbene–germylene complex 191, in which the ring represents a diborylcarbene system, is also readily available from its factors, the kinetically stable diarylgermylene and Berndt’s carbene <1999HAC554>. It should be made clear that the structures of 189 and 190 are best described as a Lewis base–Lewis acid adducts in which the newly formed CGe bond is not a true double bond but rather highly polarized C+Ge bond. In contrast, the X-ray structure analysis as well as NMR data of cryptodiborylcarbene adducts 191 suggest some significance for the ylide resonance formula of type CGe+, expected from the interaction between an electrophilic carbene and a nucleophilic germylene <1987AG(E)798, 1999HAC554>.

Phosphino(silyl)carbene 192 reacts with germylenes affording the C-germylphosphaalkenes 194 (Scheme 47). It is reasonable to postulate the primary formation of the germaethenes 193, which would undergo a subsequent 1,3-shift of Me2N group from phosphorus to germanium atom to produce compounds 194. The instability of 194 is not surprising whatever the polarity of the C¼Ge bond, since the phosphorus center is not efficient enough to stabilize an adjacent positive charge and destabilizes a negative charge <1992IC3493>.

Exclusive formation of 197 without any 1:1 addition product, even in the presence of an excess amount of carbon disulfide, implies a much higher reactivity of the thiocarbonyl unit of 196 toward germylene 195 than that of carbon disulfide <1995CC1425, 1996CL695>.

Functions Incorporating a Doubly Bonded Boron

Among organoboron compounds many C,C-disilyl-substituted doubly bonded molecules have now been synthesized, such as methyleneboranes 198, 2-borataallenes 199, and boriranylideneboranes 200. Stable methyleneboranes are obtained only when the C¼B double bond is sterically shielded by large substituents. In addition, electronic stabilization is necessary either through formally nonbonding electron pairs on the atoms directly adjacent to the dicoordinated boron atom or through electropositive substituents at the position to the dicoordinated boron atom.

Thus in amino-substituted methyleneboranes 198 (Y = R2N) or 2-borataallenes 199, the electron deficiency at the dicoordinated boron atom is relieved through – delocalization of the formally nonbonding electron pairs on the neighboring atom. In nonclassical methyleneboranes 200, the electron-deficient center at the dicoordinated boron atom forms nonclassical three-center, twoelectron (3c–2e) bonds with neighboring bonds. X X

There are a number of specialized methods for the formation of X2C¼B functions which, however, do not seem to have general applicability. For further details a comprehensive review on this subject should be consulted <1996MI355>.

Methyleneboranes, X2C¼B-Y

Various synthetic pathways for the formation of X2C¼BY species are outlined in Scheme 49 <1993AG(E)985>. The simplest route involves a 1,2-elimination reaction at organoboranes having functional substituents X at carbon and Z at boron atom which combine to a thermodynamically favored leaving molecule XZ, e.g., Me3SiF. This is currently the method of choice in the synthesis of C,C-disilyl-substituted methyleneboranes of the general formula (TMS)2C¼BY <1989CB1057>. Methods involving either the cleavage of BC single bonds in (borylmethylene)– boranes or reactions of borataalkynes with electrophiles have also proved sufficiently effective <1993AG(E)985, 1991AG(E)594>. Finally, the thermal cycloreversion of 1,3-diboretanes and 1,2-dihydroboretes is of considerable potential for the generation of methyleneboranes <1990AG(E)401>.

These species seem to be valuable starting materials for the synthesis of new type of heterosubstituted methyleneboranes. Thus, the boriranylideneboranes 200a and 200b add B2Cl4 under cleavage of the Si2CB bond to yield the (borylmethylene)boranes 201 in which three boron atoms are bonded to a methylene carbon (Equation (27)) <2001EJI387>. Reaction of the t-butyl derivative 200c with [Co(Cp)(C2H4)2] provides the metalacycle 202 featuring the metal-substituted C¼B double bond (Equation 28) <1998CEJ44>. TMS

2-Borataallenes, [X2C¼B¼CY2]

Among possible synthetic strategies for 2-borataallenes, thermally induced isomerization of C-borylboriranide 203 prepared from 200a by reaction with phenyllithium <1992AG(E)1238> or 2-boryl-1,3-diboretanides 205 accessible from the reaction of 204 with t-butyllithium <1990AG(E)1030> play an important role. In the last case, authors suggest the 1-bora-3-boratabutadiene as an intermediate, whose transformation into 2-borataallene requires a 1,3-migration of an aryl group from the tri- to the dicoordinated boron atom. Reductive dimerization of the methyleneborane 198a has also been used in the synthesis of borataallenes (Scheme 50) <1990AG(E)1030>. The 1-boryl-2-borataallenes react with electrophiles to form the (borylmethylene)boranes <1993AG(E)985>.

FUNCTIONS INCORPORATING A DOUBLY BONDED METAL

For the purpose of this survey, the above functions will be defined as the species of the formula X1X2C¼MLn (X1, X2 = heteroatom substituents), which formally contain a double bond between carbon and metal. Until 1990s, apart from the well-studied transition metal–dihalocarbene complexes, there was comparatively little information on compounds involving C¼M bonding between three-coordinate diheterosubstituted carbon and metal <1995COFGT(6)677>. The situation has changed recently. A breakthrough was the isolation of the first free N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) by Arduengo and co-workers <1991JA361>. Since then NHCs and related acyclic diaminocarbenes have become accessible as ‘‘bottle-able compounds’’ and their inorganic and organometallic chemistry has gained enormously in versality and depth <1997AG(E)2162>. Numerous new varieties of diheterosubstituted carbene complexes were reported within a short period of time. The reviews by Herrmann <2001MI1, 2002AG(E)1290>, Arduengo <1999ACR913>, Bourissou and co-workers <2000CRV39>, and Enders and Gielen <2001JOM(617/618)70> provide a valuable survey of the literature up to 2002. In comparison with transition metal–carbene complexes, the area of respective molecule with carbon–Main Group metal double bond remains rather poorly explored <1998CCR565, 2001MI621>.

Transition Metal–Carbene Complexes N-Heterocyclic carbene complexes

The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes I–IV and related acyclic diaminocarbenes is a recent development in the synthesis of transition metal–carbene complexes (Figure 2) <2002AG(E)1290>. Experimental and theoretical studies have established that NHCs bind to the transition metal by -donation; back-donation from the metal is minimal, thus the electronic properties of diheterosubstituted singlet carbenes are comparable to trialkylphosphines. Typical procedures for the synthesis of NHC–transition metal complexes are: (i) free carbene route (deprotonation of the corresponding azolium salts with bases prior to metallation; (ii) direct metallation of the azolium salts with a basic metal precursor such as Pd(OAc)2 or [Ir(COD)(OEt)]2; (iii) reaction of the corresponding electron-rich alkenes (enetetramines) with mononuclear or bridged dinuclear organometallic compounds; (iv) metal exchange starting from silver carbenes (transmetallation); and (v) oxidative addition of a low-valent metal to a 2-chloro-1,3-disubstituted imidazolinium salt.

A new approach to the preparation of NHC–transition metal complexes was recently reported by Cloke and co-workers <1999OM3228>. It concerns the possibility of obtaining group 10 homoleptic carbene complexes via the co–condensation of nickel, palladium, or platinum vapor with 1,3-di-t-butylimidazol-2-ylidene. This route provides a straightforward synthesis of the stable, two-coordinate metal–carbene complexes 206–208, one compound of which 207, has been inaccessible to date by solution technique (Equation (29)).

Another interesting example of the formation of transition metal–carbene complex from free NHC is the preparation of vanadium(V)–carbene adduct 209 in which the transition metal is in a high oxidation state (Equation (30)). In this case, complexation of an N-heterocyclic carbene to vanadium(V) results in an electrophilic singlet Ccarbene, which is typical of Fischer type systems, but is unusually supported by a high-oxidation-state metal center. Both solid samples and dichloromethane solutions of 209 are stable in air and showed no decomposition on standing for over two months <2003JA1128>. Mes

Erker and co-workers used three different stable imidazole-derived carbene ligands to prepare a series of trans-[(imidazolyl-2-ylidene)2MCl4 complexes of zirconium and hafnium <2002JOM(663)192>. Scheme 51 illustrates synthetic approaches to these species. Deprotonation of 1,3-diisopropylimidazolium chloride 210 with NaH–KOBut gave 1,3-diisopropylimidazol-2-ylidene 213 in 95% yield. Treatment of N-methylimidazole with 2-bromobutane yielded the imidazolium salt 211 which was converted to the stable carbene 214 by treatment with KH–KOBut. Finally, the imidazolium salt 212, prepared by N-alkylation of N-methylimidazole with bromomethyl-2,4,6trimethylbenzene, was converted to the unsymmetrically substituted Arduengo carbene 215 by treatment with NaH in THF. Reaction of the carbenes 213–215 with MCl4(THF)2 (M = Zr, Hf) affords the corresponding carbene–group 4 Metal halide complexes 216–219 as stable solids. The first carbene-linked cyclophane 221 was prepared by Youngs and co-workers from the bis(imidazolium) salt 220, which results from a straightforward alkylation reaction of 2,6-bis(imidazolemethyl)pyridine. Silver oxide was used to deprotonate 220 and, at the same time, to introduce the metal center (Scheme 52) <2001OM1276>. As a further development of the free carbene route the synthesis of N-borane-protected NHC complexes has been achieved as shown in Scheme 53. 1,10 -Bis(3-borane-4,5-dimethylimidazolyl)methane 222 was deprotonated to give a dianionic dicarbene compound 223. Its reaction with Cp2MCl2 (M = Ti, Zr) allowed the formation of the corresponding titanocene and zirconocene complexes 224 and 225 in 75–80% yields <2002EJI1607>. Metal acetates allow the synthesis of NHC complexes without isolation of free carbenes. This procedure combines the advantages of readily available starting materials with the in situ deprotonation of the azolium salts and avoids free carbenes or expensive organometallic precursors. For example, since the acidic methylene protons in bisimidazolium salts 226 are also attacked under common deprotonation conditions, a pathway via free biscarbenes leads to a complex mixture of products. However, palladium(II) acetate in wet DMSO deprotonates 226 to give bridged palladium–biscarbene complexes 227 in 85–90% yields <1999JOM(572)239, 2000CEJ1773>. The bisimidazolium salts 226 also undergo a selective deprotonation with sodium acetate/platinum(II) halide, and this has been used in a one-pot synthesis of novel platinum(II) biscarbene complexes 228 (Scheme 54) <2002JOM(660)121, 2003JOM(671)183>.

Interestingly, the pK’s of the bisimidazolium salts 226 should make one think that NEt3 is not strong enough to deprotonate the azolium center. Nevertheless the addition of an excess of the base (20:1), together with the rapid coordination of the carbene to metal, displays the equilibrium of deprotonation to the formation of the desired products. Thus the synthesis of complexes 229 and 230 includes the deprotonation of the bisimidazolium precursor with NEt3 in the presence of [RhCl(COD)2]. When the reaction is carried out in the presence of air, 229 is the major product obtained. Under inert conditions with degassed acetonitrile, complex 230 is mainly formed <2003IC2572>. A similar approach has been applied to the preparation of dirodium(I) bisimidazolium carbene complex 231 <2003OM440> and new ruthenium(II) CNC-pincer bis(carbene)complexes 232 and 233 (Scheme 55) <2003OM1110>.

A recent paper has described an efficient entry into palladium complexes bearing NHC ligands on the basis of the oxidative addition Pd(PPh3)4 to the easily accessible 2-chloro-1,3-disubstituted imidazolium salt 235 <2003OM907>. This novel method promises a broad substrate scope and allows for substantial structural variations since the required 2-chloro-1,3-disubstituted imidazolium salts can be easily prepared from cyclic ureas or thioureas on treatment with, for instance, oxalyl chloride. Examples are depicted in Schemes 56 and 57. Interaction of the imidazolium salts 235 (X = PF6, BF4) with an equimolar amount of Pd(PPh3)4 in refluxing dichloromethane leads to the formation of cis-236 as the primary products, which isomerize with time to the more stable trans-236. Although the reactivity of chloride 235 (X = Cl) follows the same trend, giving rise to the expected cationic complex trans-236 in 87% yield, the equilibrium between the cationic and the neutral Pd–NHC complexes leads to small amounts of complex 237 in addition to 236. This propensity is more pronounced in case of the enantiomerically pure NHC complex 239, which is obtained as the only product on treatment of the chiral imidazolium salt 238 with Pd(PPh3)4 under similar conditions.

Complexes of NHC can also be generated starting from aminals. In particular, the successive treatment of [PdCl2(PEt3)2] with the aminal 240 leads to the formation of trans-mono- and transbis(carbene) complexes 241 and 242 containing the 1,3-diallylimidazolidin-2-ylidene ligand. If, in addition, [Pd2Cl4(PEt3)2] is employed, the cis-complexes 243 and 244 are obtained in high yields as the only organometallic products (Scheme 58) <2002OM5428>. Special NHC-transfer reagents are the silver(I) complexes <2002HAC534>. They are formed in a simple way by treatment of imidazolium salts with Ag2O and transfer their NHC ligands to other metals, for example, Pd, Pt, or Rh <2002JCS(D)2852, 2002TA1969, 2003JCS(D)699>. This technique overcomes the difficulties arising from the use of strong base to yield free heterocyclic carbenes and seems to be particularly effective in the case of functionalized NHCs. For example, Matsumoto and co-workers have demonstrated that the imidazolium chloride 245 reacts with an

Ag2O suspension in dichloromethane at a ratio of 1:1 to afford 246. Attempt to prepare the free carbene by deprotonation of the imidazolium salt 245 with either KOBut or KH was not successful probably due to the high acidity of the methylene protons linking phenyl and imidazole rings (Scheme 59) <2002JOM(654)233>. The silver-NHC complex 247 was prepared in a similar manner. It smoothly reacts with [PdCl2(COD)] to yield the corresponding palladium–carbene complex 248 <2002OM5204>.

An entirely different approach for the generation of the metal–NHC complexes is based on the template-controlled formation of NH,O- and NH,NH-stabilized cyclic carbene ligands <1999CCR(182)175>. An example is outlined in Scheme 60. The 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-2ylidene complexes 252 (M = Cr, W) have been produced by template-controlled generation of a carbene ligand from 2-azidophenyl isocyanide and [M(CO)5(THF)]. The polar Ph3P¼N function in complexes 249 can be hydrolyzed with H2O/HBr to afford the unstable 2-aminophenyl isocyanide species 250, which spontaneously cyclize by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the primary amine at the isocyanide carbon to yield the complexes 251. Double deprotonation of the cyclic NH,NHcarbene ligand in 251 with KOBut and reaction with 2 equiv. of allyl bromide affords the N,N0 dialkylated benzannulated N-heterocyclic carbene complexes 252 <2003CEJ704>.

Silicon-substituted carbene complexes, R3Si(X)C¼MLn

The silyl(ethoxy)carbene complexes XPh2Si(EtO)C¼W(CO)5 253 and 256 were prepared by the Fischer route starting from W(CO)6 and LiSiPh2X followed by alkylation of the formed anionic acyl complex with [Et3O]BF4. For the synthesis of 256, an excess of [Et3O]BF4 has to be avoided, because otherwise the amino group is cleaved. Reaction of 253 with Me2NH and of 256 with MeNH2 resulted in the formation of the corresponding silyl(amino)carbene complexes 254 and 257 in high yields. When ether solutions of 254 or 257 were irradiated with UV light, CO was

evolved, and the thermally stable tetracarbonyl complexes 255 and 258 were obtained (Scheme 61). The spectroscopic data clearly showed that the olefinic group in 255 and the amino group in 258 are coordinated to the metal center <2000EJI1811>.

Upon photolysis of the carbene complexes R12RSi(R2N)C¼M(CO)5 (M=Cr, Mo, W; or Ph3Si) the stable 16-electron carbene complexes R12RSi(R2N)C¼M(CO)4 are obtained. These species are stabilized by intramolecular interaction of one of the silicon substituents with the metal atom. Thus in Mes2SiH(Me2N)C¼W(CO)4 the Si–H group interacts with the tungsten atom. In the Ph3Si derivative, the W–Cphenyl distances indicate that the ipso carbon atom is mainly involved in the interaction with the metal atom. Despite the agostic interaction in the silylcarbene complexes, the coordination site is still accessible. Thus, the reaction of R12RSi(R2N)C¼M(CO)4 with CO, phosphines, phosphites, or isonitriles quantitatively yielded 18-electron carbene complexes cis-R12RSi(Me2N)C¼W(CO)4L (L=CO, RNC, R3P, (RO)3P) <1994OM1554, 1994ICA(220)73>. Formation of the silyl-substituted alkylidene tantalum and tungsten complexes from reactions of alkylidene complexes with silanes have been reviewed <2002JMOC(190)101>. Scheme 62 illustrates this synthetic methodology. Addition of the silanes H2SiRPh to the alkylidene complex 259 leads quantitatively to the disilyl-substituted alkylidene complexes 260. The reaction occurred exclusively with the alkylidene (¼CH–TMS) ligand, and the resulting complexes were found to be unreactive toward excess silane. More interestingly, addition of H2SiRPh to 261 led to the evolution of H2 and the formation of 1,10 -metalla-3-silacyclobutadiene complexes 262. The reaction of 261 with disilylmethane (H2PhSi)2CH2 also generates H2 and a metalladisilacyclohexadiene 263 <2001OM1504>. Novel products, unavailable by other routes, can thus be prepared.

Functions with a Formal Tin–Carbon and Lead–Carbon Double Bond

The synthesis and properties of low-coordinated compounds of tin and lead are collected in the recent review by Weidenbruch <2001MI621>. Stannaethene (TMS)2C¼SnMe2 is formed as a short-lived intermediate by reaction of (TMS)2BrC–Sn(Y)Me2 with LiR via (TMS)2LiC– Sn(Y)Me2 (Y = F, Br, PhO; R = organyl) and its existence was demonstrated by characteristic trapping experiments including the formation of thermolabile adduct with anthracene, which was used as a ‘‘store’’ for this compound <1998CEJ2571, B-1998MI106, 2000JOM(598)292, 2000JOM(598)304, 2000CJC1412>. Isolable compounds with a C¼Sn double bond are still extremely rare <1998CCR565>. The first members of this series with stability at room temperature were 264 and 265 prepared by Berndt and co-workers, both by the reaction between stannylenes and the cryptocarbene [(TMS)2C(BBut)2C] <1987AG(E)546>. More recently the preparation of stannaethenes 266 <1997JOM(530)255> and 267 <1999HAC554> has been described. The X-ray structure analysis of 266 reveals a strictly planar environment of the tricoordinated tin and carbon atoms and a slight twisting of the C¼Sn bond <1997JOM(530)255>.

Other known compounds with tricoordinated carbon and tin atoms can better be described as Lewis base–acid adducts on account of their geometries and large C–Sn bond lengths. Examples of such compounds are zwitterionic adducts 268–270 prepared from the reaction of a nucleophilic carbene with tin(II) chloride <1995CB245>, a diarylstannylene <1995CC1157>, or diarylplumbylene <1999CC1131>. The related species 271 and 272 were also obtained directly from a stable carbene and the corresponding stannylene and plumbylene. Each of the crystalline adducts is a monomer, having an exceptionally long central bond between the three-coordinated carbon and the M atoms.

As mentioned in the previous section, reaction of an enetetramine with a coordinatively unsaturated metal complex is a standard method for the preparation of complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Hahn and co-workers applied this strategy to the synthesis of a zwitterionic carbene–stannylene adduct via cleavage of a dibenzotetraazafulvalene by a stannylene. Thus reaction of the stannylene 273 with the tetramethyldibenzotetraazafulvalene 274 leads via C¼C bond cleavage in 274 to the carbene–stannylene adduct 275 <2001JOM(617/618)629> (Scheme 63).

The molecular structure of 275 is similar to those of the carbene–silylene adduct reported by Lappert <1999CC755> or the carbene plumbylene adduct described by Weidenbruch <1995CC1157>. None of these species exhibits properties consistent with a C¼M double bond.

Introduction

Carbocations with three heteroatom substitutents attached to carbon are popular reaction intermediates. They are stabilized by electron donation from lone pairs of electrons from heteroatoms into the vacant -orbitals on carbon. Nitrogen is the most effective of the three common heteroatoms (O, N, S) with respect to electron pair donation. The presence of just one nitrogen function can enable the salt of a formal carbocation to be more stable and isolable. With one nitrogen atom attachment, there are two resonance hybrid structures possible, carbenium ion 1 (+ve charge on carbon) and iminium ion 2 (+ve charge at nitrogen). Such compounds are generally considered to have the charge on nitrogen. Such positively charged derivatives of compounds are considered in Chapter 6.20. When the carbocation has more than one heteroatom function attachment then there are further possibilities for charge delocalization.

Cations Bearing Three Halogens

Trihalomethyl cations CX3 (X = Br, Cl, F) have been generated at low temperature from tetrahalomethanes on reaction with antimony pentahalides, and they have been reviewed earlier <1995COFGT(6)725>. Bromochlorofluoromethylium ion has been generated from bromochlorodifluoromethane <1997JPC(A)8489>. The -electron donor ability of fluorine is more than offset by its electron withdrawing inductive effect, thus the trifluoromethyl cation is less stable than the other trihalomethyl cations.

6.23.1.3

Cations Bearing Halogen and Chalcogen Functions

Fluoroformic acid is an intermediate in the oxidation of fluorocarbons and ozonolysis of fluoroalkenes. Its potential role in the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere was explored in the early 1990s. Neutral fluoroformic acid does not exist because of its autocatalytic decomposition to HF and CO2. However, its conjugate acid and base protonated fluoroformic acid [FC(OH)+ 2 ] and fluoroformate ion ], respectively, are expected to be more stable due to its resonance stabilization. Protolytic [FCO 2 ionization of t-butyl fluoroformate with fivefold excess of FSO3H/SbF5 in SO2ClF resulted in a deep yellow solution containing the carbocation +CF(OH)2 <1997AG(E)1875>. Bromotrifluoromethane, further reacted with H3O+ to produce the carbocation +CF2OH <1997JPC(A)8489>.

Cations Bearing Halogen, Other Elements, and (Possibly) Chalcogen Functions Cations bearing two halogen and one nitrogen functions

The preparative methods for dihaloiminium salts such as N,N-dimethyldihaloiminium halides 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) and pyrrolidinedichloroiminium chloride 4 have been reviewed previously <1995COFGT(6)725>. These salts are important reagents and have a wide variety of synthetic applications. No further development has been found on these types of salts.

6.23.1.4.2

Cations bearing two halogen and one other heteroatom functions

Several transition metal complexes exist in which CX2 acts as a ligand. Such metal complexes have overall positive charge and have been reviewed <1995COFGT(6)725>. No further development has been seen for these types of transition metal complexes since 1995.

6.23.1.4.3

Cations bearing one halogen, one chalcogen, and one nitrogen functions

The chlorination of N-methylbenzothiazole-2-selone 5 and 1,1-dimethylselenourea 7 with SO2Cl2 and chlorine produced corresponding benzothiazolium 6 and uronium 8 salts, respectively, and X-ray studies have been conducted for these salts <1999JCS(D)4245>.

Tetramethylfluoroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate (TFFH) 9 a nonhygroscopic salt, stable under ambient conditions, was obtained from 10 with excess of anhydrous KF <1995JA5401>. The salt 10 was prepared previously from tetramethylurea using phosgene. A new improved synthetic procedure for 10 from tetramethylurea using oxalyl chloride has been reported <1989TL1927>. TFFH appears to be an ideal coupling reagent for solid-phase syntheses, being readily available, inexpensive and capable of providing peptides of high quality <2000OL3539>. A new and convenient method for the solid-phase preparation of pentasubstituted guanidines involves the use of aminium/uranium salt-based reagents. These compounds have been used mainly as coupling agents in peptide synthesis and they activate the carboxyl group of the amino acids <2000OL3539>. Bispyrrolidinefluoromethylium tetrafluoroborate 11 is a convenient reagent for the solid-phase synthesis of a range of peptides incorporating sensitive amino acids and 11 has been prepared from 1,10 -carbonylbispyrrolidine 13a using oxalyl chloride <1998CL671>. Bispiperidinechloromethylium tetrafluoroborate 12 was prepared from 1,10 -carbonylbispiperidine 13b via deoxygenation using phosgene <2000OL3539>. Pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid dialkylamides 14 and 15 reacted with COCl2 to form N,N-dialkyl-N-pyrrolidinochloromethylcarbenium salts 16 and 17 <2000OL3539>. 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride 19 has been prepared from 1,3-dimethylimidazolidine-2-one 18 and oxalyl chloride <1986T6645>. 2-Chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride is a powerful dehydrating agent and 19 is equivalent to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). The advantages of 19 are low cost, nontoxic, and easy removal of product from the reaction mixture by simple washing with water. Chiral guanidines prepared from 19 can be considered as super bases due to their strong basic character <2000JOC7770>. The synthetic utility of 19 has been well demonstrated as an effective dehydrating agent in the following synthetic reactions: esterification of hindered alcohol, acylation of 1,3-diones (cyclic), dehydration of oximes to nitriles (aromatic), and dehydration of benzamide to nitriles <1999JOC6984>. Isocyanides, isothiocyanates, and carbodiimides were synthesized from formamides, dithiocarbamates, and thiourea, respectively <1999JOC6984>. 2-Chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride is used as a coupling agent for the conversion of trimesitylchlorosilane to hexamesityldisilane <1984JOMC(264)179>. Further reactions of 19 are explored with L-valinol, benzamide, and methyl(S)-1-phenylethylamine to produce more useful and novel compounds <2000JOC7770>. Me + N N Me Me X PF–6 or BF–4

6.23.1.5.1

Three oxygen functions

Several examples of tris(alkoxy)methylium salts were reviewed earlier and no further advances have occurred in this area since 1995 <1995COFGT(6)725>. Trimethylsilylacetylene 20 has been deprotonated with BuLi and subsequently reacted with 21 to give 1,1,1-triethoxy2-trimethylsilylpropyne 22, thus exploring the synthetic utility of triethoxycarbenium tetrafluoroborate 21 <1997TL6803>. Protonation of dimethyl carbonate by the super acids system HF, MF5 (M = As, Sb) afforded dimethoxyhydroxycarbenium hexafluorometallates 23, which are colorless, moisture sensitive salts. These salts are soluble in SO2, and are stable at 70 C for several weeks <2000EJI1261>.

6.23.1.5.2

Three sulfur functions

Stable salts of carbenium ions bearing three sulfur functions have been reported. The methods for their preparation are analogous to those used for the tris(alkoxy)carbenium ions but, since it is much easier to alkylate sulfur than oxygen, a wider range of alkylating agents can be used. Substituted 1,3-dithiolane- and 1,3-dithioles-2-thiones 24 and 26 were also alkylated using various methylating agents to provide corresponding salts 25 and 27. Thiones are often alkylated with the most commonly used methylating agents such as alkyl halides and methyltrifluoromethane sulfonate <1997TL81, 1991S26, 2000CL842, 1998CC361, 1998JMAC1185, 1999JCS(P2)505>, although dimethyl sulfate has been used occasionally <1991S26>. 4,5-Disubstituted 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones 26a and 26b were methylated using methyltrifluoromethane sulfonate to provide corresponding salts 27a and 27b in quantitative yield. Derivatives of 1,3-dethiole-2-thiones 28, 29 were methylated to the corresponding 1,3-dithiolium iodides 30, 31, and 31 underwent desulfurization with subsequent self-coupling to afford the dimeric product 32 <1991S26, 1995JPR299>.

Several coupling products of substituted thienodithiolylidenefluorene 35 were prepared from substituted fluorene and thienodithiolane carbenium ion 34, which in turn was derived from thienodithiole-2-thione 33 <1999JCS(P2)505>. The degree of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in dithiolylidene fluorenes bearing fused thiophene has been investigated by UV-VIS spectroscopy <1999JCS(P2)505>. Tris(trifluoromethyl(chalcogenato)carbenium ions 36 and 37 were prepared from fluoro tris(trifluoromethylthio)methane and fluoro tris(trifluoromethylseleno)methane <1996CB1383>. Tris(chalcogenato)carbenium ion 38 was generated from CBr4 and ArSCu <1996AG(E)300>. Further reaction of tris(trifluoromethylthio)carbenium hexafluoroarsenate 36 with benzene and anisole produced benzophenone and 4,40 -dimethoxybenzophenone, which are products of hydrolysis of the diphenylmethane intermediate <1995CB435>.

Cations Bearing Chalcogen and Nitrogen Functions Two oxygen and one nitrogen functions

Mono-O-protonated carbamic acids and N-methyl carbamate were prepared using super acids (FSO3H/ SO2ClF and FSO3H:SbF5/SO2ClF) at 78 C, and these salts were characterized by 1H, 13C, 15N NMR spectroscopy <1998JOC7993>. A stable salt of 1,9-diethoxy-1-methoxy-3,5,7,9-tetraphenyl-2,4,6,8tetraazanonatetraenylium hexachloroantimonate 41 was prepared from the corresponding ester 40, by regioselective O-alkylation with triethyloxonium hexachloroantimonate <1996MI371>. Further reaction of dimethylaminodiethoxycarbenium tetrafluoroborate 42 with N,N-dimethylamine produced bis(dimethylamino)diethoxymethane <2000JPR256>.

6.23.1.6.2

Methylations of few cyclic dithiocarbamates with dimethyl sulfate yielded corresponding thiocarbamate salts and have been reviewed previously <1995COFGT(6)725>. Dithiocarbamate salts 45 and 46 are most often prepared by S-alkylation of dithiocarbamates 43 and 44 <1995JOC2330>.

Reaction of 2-chloro-1,3-diselenoazolium tetrafluoroborate 47 with morpholine to form 1,3diselenazole-2-morpholinium salt 48 has been reported <1987PS187>.

6.23.1.6.4

Two different chalcogen and one nitrogen functions

Alkylation of 3-methyl-5-phenyl-3H-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione 49 with MeI produced salt 50 <1995JOC2330>. Alkylation of diethylthiocarbamic acid O-p-tolyl ester 51 with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate produced a moisture sensitive, colorless solid stable salt 52 <2001EJO83>.

6.23.1.6.5

One oxygen and two nitrogen functions

Alkylation of substituted ureas with 21 primarily produced O-alkylated stable and isolable uronium salts. This work has already been reviewed <1995COFGT(6)725>. It is interesting to note that in some cases, N-alkylation of tetraalkylurea competes with O-alkylation. Thus an alternative synthetic strategy is employed for the preparation of uronium salts starting from N,N,N0 ,N0 -tetramethylchloroformadinium chloride whereby N-alkylation can be avoided. N,N,N0 ,N0 -Tetramethyl(succinimido)uronium tetrafluoroborate 54 and 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate 56 have been used as coupling agents in solid-phase peptide synthesis. They are excellent activating agents and reduce racemization during condensation of peptide segments. They are useful tools for the formation of active esters suitable for coupling in mixed aqueous or organic media.

N-Hydroxysuccinimide 53 reacted with 10 to form N,N,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl(succinimido)uronium tetrafluoroborate 54 <1989TL1927>. Several esterification reactions have been reported in which N,N,N0 ,N0 -tetramethyl(succinimido)uronium tetrafluoroborate 54 is used as a coupling agent. The salt shown in 54 has been used as a feed stock to produce several other useful coupling agents <1997JA640, 1999HCA1311, 1999BMCL2229, 1999JA5860, 2000S707, 2000BMC2359, 2002OL1075>. 2-(1H-Benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate 56 was prepared from benzotriazole-N-oxide 55 using 10 <1989TL1927, 1984S572, 2002AG(E)442> and the salt given in 56 is used as a coupling agent for several esterification reactions <1999T1129, 2000BMCL13, 2000AG(E)1626>.

One sulfur and two nitrogen functions

There has been considerable interest in the usage of isothiuronium salts in membranology and in organic synthesis. These salts are used to regulate free radical oxidation in biological membranes. Functional transformation of CH2X to CH2SH via isothiuronium salt has been shown to have a great deal of synthetic utility in organic synthesis. S-Alkylation of tetramethylthiourea 57, with MeI gave isothiuronium salt 58 <1995JOC2330>. Salt of disulfide 59 was obtained from 57 via oxidation with bromine <1997JCS(D)1857>. 2-Bromo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 60 and 2-bromo-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one 61 were converted into corresponding isothiuronium salts 62 and 63 by reaction with thiourea in acetone <1996JHC1623>. Further, these salts were converted to the corresponding mercapto derivatives by alkaline hydrolysis. Isothiuronium salt 65 was obtained from 3-chloro-2-chloromethylpropene 64 and thiourea via S-alkylation <1996AJC1261>. The S-alkylation of thiophosphate 66 by thiourea, followed by ring opening, produced thiuronium salt 67 <1996RJGC1072>. Bicyclic thiophosphate 68 reacted with thiourea to provide a high yield of betaine 69, which is of certain bioregulating interest as a radioprotector, and the overall reaction is a thione-thiol isomerization (ring-opening products) <1996RJGC1362>. Disodium[(3-methylthioureido)methylene]bisphosphonate 70 is easily alkylated in aqueous solution with MeI to give stable and isolable thiuronium salt 71 <1996RJGC1442>. 4-Nitrophenylisothiuronium salt was obtained from 4-nitrobenzenethiol and NH2CN <1997JCS(P2)1555>. 6,60 -Bischloromethyl-[2,20 ]bipyrazinyl isothiuronium salt 72 was obtained from 6,60 -bischloromethyl-[2,20 ]bipyrazine and thiourea <1999EJO1427>. Tetramethyluronium and -thiouronium salts 75 and 76 were prepared from N-hydroxy-2-oxopyridine 73 and N-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyridine 74, respectively <1999JOC8936>. Novel carbanion ionophores based on thiuronium derivative 78 have been prepared via S-alkylation of N-benzyl-N-butylthiourea 77 using MeI, and their application to ion selective electrodes has been examined <2001CL382>.

Cations Bearing Three Nitrogen Functions

Preparative methods for guanidines have been described in Chapter 6.21. Guanidines are strong bases and also excellent nucleophiles. Several guanidium salts have been prepared by protonation or alkylation of guanidine <1996JPR403>. Tris(pyrrolidine)carbenium chloride 83 has been prepared from fluorobis-(1-pyrrolidinyl)carbenium chloride 11 by reacting with pyrrolidine <1996JPR403>. Reaction of phenylbis(3-aminobenzene)phosphine 84 with dimethylcyanamide 85 provided guanidinium phosphines 86 in high yield <1997JOC2362>. Deprotonation of PhCOCHPhCO2Me 87 with tetrakis(dimethylamine)methane led to a stable salt 88, which belongs to a very rare species of salts that consists of a heteroatom stabilized carbocation and a heteroatom stabilized carbanion <1996MI2131>. Triazidocarbenium salt is prepared from tetrachloromethane using NaN3 <1997JA8802>, and 89 is ideally suited for high energy density material such as propellants and explosives. Conversion of 89 to more energetic salts containing anions such as [N(NO2)2] and (ClO4)] has been reported <1997JA8802>. Quinolinotriazole-N-oxide 90 was converted into the corresponding guanidinium salt 91 using 10 <2001OL2793>.

Few cationic carbene complexes and their salts have been prepared in which the cation bears nitrogen and one phosphorus functions. Synthesis, structure, stability, and reactivity of (amino) (phosphino) carbenes has been reported <2002JA6806>. Treatment of carbene, [(t-Bu)2PCN (i-Pr)2] 98 with 1 equiv. of BF3Et2O, led to quantitative formation of carbene complex 98a, which has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy <2002JA6806>. Carbenium ion 100 bearing sulfur and two oxygen functions has been produced via S-alkylation of thiocarbonic acid O,O0 -dimethyl ester 99 with iodomethane <1995JOC2330>.

6.23.1.10

Cations Bearing Phosphorus and Silicon Functions

The C-alkylation of 1,3-diethyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene 101 with iodotrimethylsilane produced 1,3-diethyl-4,5-dimethyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)imidazolium iodide 102 <1995CB245>. Rapid valence isomerization of phosphaalkene-phosphenium cation 103a to cationic diphosphene 103b was observed and 103b was characterized by 31P NMR spectroscopy, but not isolated <1991TL2775>. 1,2-Silyl migration in aromatic carbenes via intermolecular silyl exchange has been reported <1998JA9100>. Since aromatic carbenes are very good nucleophiles, attack of triphenyltriazole carbene 104 on the silyl group of cation 105 resulting in the formation of C-silyl substituted triazolium salt 106 along with methyltriazole <1998JA9100>. Several crystalline adducts 109 were prepared from benzimidazole carbene 107 by reacting with derivatives of 108 (silylene germylene, stannylene, or plumbylene). The CM bond is electrostatic in nature with the carbene moiety as an electron donor and the metal fragment as an electron acceptor <2000JCS(D)3094>.

CARBON-CENTERED CARBANIONS BEARING THREE HETEROATOM FUNCTIONS

Carbanionic carbons bearing three different heteroatom functions were not covered in the earlier review <1995COFGT(6)725>. The current review includes several such carbanionic carbon-

bearing nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur functions. They are stable at low temperature, isolable, and are useful intermediates in organic synthesis. Attachment of phosphorus and sulfur functions to carbanionic carbon causes an increase in carbanion stability due to an overlap of the unshared electron pair with an empty d-orbital (pd bonding). Electron withdrawing groups such as NO2 at the -position also stabilize carbanions.

6.23.2.1

Carbanion Bearing Three Halogens

The N-trimethylsilylimidophosphenous acid derivative from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine reacts with bromotrichloromethane readily to afford the stable salt 110. The ion pair 110 is stable and provides an environment for sterically favorable nucleophilic substitution of the trichloromethide anion rather than bromide ion. The possibility that this reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism cannot be ruled out <1984JGU278>.

6.23.2.2

Carbanions Bearing One Halogen and Two Sulfur Functions

The 2,2,4,4-tetrabromo-1,3-dithietan-1,1,3,3-tetroxide 111 is cleaved by tris(dimethylamine)sulfonium hexafluoride silicate 112 to form the intermediate salt 113. The fluoride ion from 113 can be abstracted by SiF4 and quinuclidine and the resulting perhalogenated mesylsulfene (Br3SO2C(Br)¼SO2 is stabilized by S-coordinated quinuclidine <1990ZN(B)1187>.

6.23.2.3

Carbanions Bearing One Halogen and Two Phosphorus Functions

Phosphonoalkylation of acylchlorophosphinate 114 in the presence of excess of LDA leads to direct generation of stable lithiated methylenediphosphonate anion 115. Further 115 can be either protonated in acidic medium to provide tetrasubstituted methylenediphosphonate or alkylated. When aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes are added, spontaneous formation of vinyl phosphonates is observed <1986JOMC(304)283>.

6.23.2.4

Carbanions Bearing Three Nitrogen Functions

Deprotonation of trinitromethane with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide results in trinitromethide 116a. Deprotonation of trinitromethane with benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide provides 116b, which is unstable even at 15 C and it undergoes decomposition with explosive release of gases when stored in the dark at room temperature <1985JA7880>.

6.23.2.5

Carbanions Bearing Three Sulfur Functions

Interaction of tris(fluorosulfonyl)methane and tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) with aryldiazonium chloride in water leads to the formation of stable water-insoluble salts 117a and 117b, respectively <1983TL87, 1990JOU584>. Benzenediazonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)phenoxysulfonyl methanide 118, a colorless crystalline solid stable at 0 C is produced by simple mixing of benzenediazonium chloride with bis(fluorosulfonyl)phenoxysulfonylmethane <1991JOU426>.

6.23.2.6

Carbanions Bearing Three Phosphorus Functions

Bis(diphenylphosphino)diphenylthiophosphorylmethane is readily deprotonated with LiOH to produce the carbanion 119 <1988PS79>. Tetrabutylammonium tris(diphenylthiophosphinoyl)methide 120 has been produced from tris(diphenylthiophosphinoyl)methane and isolated as a stable solid, which is a useful synthetic intermediate in the formation of cage complexes via coordination with metal cations <1982CC930>.

724

Tricoordinated Stabilized Cations, Anions, and Radicals

6.23.2.7

Carbanions Bearing One Phosphorus and Two Sulfur Functions

Deprotonation of bis(ethylsulfanylmethyl) phosphonic acid diethyl ester and of bis(benzenesulfonyl)-diphenyloxoposphinyl methane produces salts 121 and 122, respectively <1982TL499, 1987PS159>. Trifluoromethylsulfonylphenylsulfonyldiphenylphosphinoyl methane reacts with triphenylphosphine to form salt 123, which is protonated on the phosphorus. However, with diphenylphosphinous acid, diethylamideaminophosphine affords phosphonium salt 124, which is protonated on the nitrogen <1977JGU872>.

6.23.2.8

Carbanions Bearing One Nitrogen and Two Sulfur Functions

Bis(phenylsulfonyl)diazomethane is a possible source for the production of an exceptionally electrophilic carbene, bis(phenylsulfonyl)carbene and its chemical properties were studied in the late 1990s. Treatment of bis(phenylsulfonyl)diazomethane with triphenylphosphine yields the stable phosphazine 125 <1963JOC2933>.

6.23.3

CARBON-CENTERED RADICALS BEARING THREE HETEROATOM FUNCTIONS

A few known stable carbon-centered radicals bearing three heteroatom functions have been reviewed <1995COFGT(6)725>. No carbon-centered radicals bearing three heteroatom functions can be regarded as ‘‘stable’’ in that they cannot be isolated and handled. But a few such radicals have significant lifetimes ranging from a few seconds to a few hours in solution <1976ACR13>. These radicals bear silicon, phosphorus, or sulfur substitutents and their increased lifetime can be due to steric factors rather than to electron delocalization.

Tricoordinated Stabilized Cations, Anions, and Radicals

The tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl radical _C(TMS)3 can be generated by decomposition of [(TMS)3C]2Hg <1970CC559> or by reduction of (TMS)3CI <1991CC1608>. This radical is long-lived in solution. A number of carbon radicals bearing three sulfur functions can also be described as persistent, among them C(SCF3), which is generated reversibly from its dimer at room temperature <1979JA6282>, and _C(SCF3)2SC6F5, which is produced from its dimer at 140–190 C <1984T4963>. A number of other radicals bearing three sulfur functions or two sulfur and one silicon functions can be produced by the thermal dissociation of their dimers <1977CB2880>. A series of persistent radicals 126 has been produced by the reaction of the dithioesters 127 with a wide range of radicals R_, including MeS_, Me_, and Ph3Pb_ <1993JA8444>. Since 1995, one or two such radicals have been reported in the literature. The reduction of phosphoryl and thiophosphoryl formates, monothioformates and dithioformates have been studied by means of cyclic voltametry and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy data were obtained for these salts <2000JCS(P2)1908, 2002MRC387>. Electron transfer reactions were studied between NO and halotrifluoromethane in the gas phase and the formation of F2CNO radical has been observed <1996JPC10641>.
