This reaction was driven by chiral hydroxyamide-functionalized azolium salt 2. The catalytic ESR reaction could be performed under benchtop conditions at room temperature. Treatment of 2 with 3 in THF yielded the monodentate IrCl(NHC)(cod) (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complex 4 in 93% yield, herein the anionic methoxy ligand of 3 serves as an internal base that deprotonates the azolium ring of 2. The well-defined Ir complex 4 catalyzed the ESR reaction of propiophenone (6) with (EtO)<sub>2</sub>MeSiH using the pre-mixing reaction procedure. Based on this success, the catalytic ESR reaction was designed and implemented using an in situ-generated NHC/Ir catalyst derived from 2 and 3. Thus, a wide variety of aryl ketones could be reduced to the corresponding optically active alcohols in moderate to excellent stereoselectivities at room temperature without temperature control. Since the high catalytic activity of 3 was observed, we next evaluated several other transition metal catalyst precursors for the catalytic ESR reaction under the influence of 2. This evaluation revealed that Ir(acac)(cod) (acac = acetylacetonate) (28) and [IrCl(cod)]<sub>2</sub> (5) can be successfully used as metal catalyst precursors in the ESR reaction.展开更多

The potential barriers for the C—H bond insertions in methyl group of benzyl methyl ether are 123.3 kJ/mol(X=Cl) and 240.4 kJ/mol(X=F), and those in benzyl group are 37.5 kJ/mol(X=Cl) and 112.2 kJ/mol(X=F) respectively. No potential barriers are present in both the insertion reactions with methylene group. The C—H bond insertion reactions between benzyl methyl ether and CX 2(X=H,F,Cl) take place primarily at α carbon of the benzyl group and the phenyl group promotes the C—H bond insertion by carbene at its neighboring α carbon more easily.

The geometries of reactions, the transition state and products were completely optimized by B3LYP/6–311G(d, p). All the energy of the species was obtained at the CCSD(T)/6–311G(d, p) level. The calculated results indicated that the major pathways of the reaction were obtained on the singlet potential energy surface. The singlet CCl2 can not only trigger the insertion reaction with C-H and M-H in four pathways, by which the products P1 [CH3OCHCl2, reaction I(1)], P3[Cl2HCCH2OH, reaction I(2)], P5[CH3SCHCl2, reaction II(1)] and P7[Cl2HCCH2SH, reaction II(2)] are produced respectively, but also abstract M-H, resulting P4 [CH2O+CH2Cl2, reaction I(3)] and P8[CH2S+CH2Cl2, reaction II(3)].

Traditionally, dirhodium, copper and iron catalysts were used to decompose diazo compounds to form the key metal carbene intermediates. Recently, the gold catalysts have been developed as a unique type of metal catalyst to decompose diazo compounds.

By using 6–31G* basis, geometry optimization, vibrational analysis and energetics have been calculated for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface. The results show that the title reaction has two major competition channels. An energy-rich intermediate (INT) is firstly formed between alkylidene carbene and ethylene through a barrier-free exothermic reaction of 63.62 kJ/mol, and the intermediate then isomerizes to a three-membered ring product (Pl) and a four-membered ring product (P2) via transition state TS1 and TS2, in which energy barriers are 47.00 and 51.02 kl/mol. respectively.
