Exchange of the olefin ligand in Cr(CO)5(eta2-(Z)-cyclooctene) by 1,4-diisopropyl-1,4-diazabutadiene (iprop-DAB) yields Cr(CO)5(iprop-DAB) (1), where the potentially bidentate DAB ligand coordinates in a monodentate fashion. Complex 1 is isolated as red crystals and fully characterized (elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectra). In hydrocarbon solution at ambient temperature it decays via two competitive routes involving (a) chelate ring closure with CO extrusion to form Cr(CO)4(iprop-DAB) (2) and (b) loss of the iprop-DAB ligand and takeup of CO to form Cr(CO)6, as monitored by means of NMR, UV-vis, and IR spectroscopy. Favorable conditions for the chelate ring closure leading to 2 are the high concentration of 1, the presence of added iprop-DAB, and the absence of CO, while the opposite is true for the formation of Cr(CO)6. The decay of 1 is retarded in the presence of increasing amounts of added iprop-DAB. It essentially follows pseudo-first-order kinetics with k(obs) approaching a lower limiting value of 2.7 x 10(-5) s-1 under Ar at 23-degrees-C, whereby Cr(CO)4(iprop-DAB) (2) and Cr(CO)6 are formed in a ca. 20:1 ratio. Experiments at variable temperature yield DELTAH(double dagger) = 48 +/- 6 kJ mol-1 and DELTAS(double dagger) = -170 +/- 18 J K-1 mol-1. In the presence of added CO or (E)-cyclooctene (ECO) the decay of 1 is accelerated, whereby additional Cr(CO)6 or Cr(CO)5(eta2-ECO) are formed at the expense of Cr(CO)4(iprop-DAB) (2) production. Complementary studies involving continuous irradiation of Cr(CO)6 and iprop-DAB indicate that photogenerated 1 subsequently undergoes photolytic CO dissociation with formation of 2 in addition to the thermal chelate ring closure.

Morkan, Izzet Amour; Güven, Kutalmış; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2004-7)
Photolysis of hexacarbonylchromium(0) in the presence of 2,6-diaminopyridine in toluene solution at 10 degreesC yields pentacarbonyl(2,6-diaminopyridine)chromium(0), which could be isolated from solution as plate-like crystals and fully characterized by using the single crystal X-ray diffractometry and MS, IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The complex was found to have the 2,6-diaminopyridine ligand bonded to the chromium atom through one of the NH2 groups. A single crystal X-ray structure of the complex r...
Benzaldehyde lyase-catalyzed enantioselective carboligation of aromatic aldehydes with mono- and dimethoxy acetaldehyde
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesenoglu, O; Dunkelmann, P; Muller, M (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2003-06-12)
Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with methoxy and dimethoxy acetaldehyde and furnishes (R)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one and (R)-2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one in high yields and enantiomeric excess via acyloin linkage. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-like intermediates prior to carboligation.

Photolysis of hexacarbonylmetal(0) complexes of the Group 6 elements in the presence of vinylferrocene in an n-hexane solution at -15 degreesC yields pentacarbonyl (eta(2)-vinylferrocene)metal(0) complexes as the sole photo-substitution product, different from the general reaction pattern observed for the same Group 6 metal carbonyls with other olefins. M(CO)(5)(eta(2)-vinylferrocene) complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) could be isolated from the solution and characterized by using spectroscopic techniques. The compl...

Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with nitroso compounds and furnishes N-arylhydroxamic acids in high yields. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-like intermediates prior to their reaction with nitroso compounds. The kinetic resolution of rac-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanones furnished (S)-benzoins and arylhydroxamic acids with high enantioselectivities and conversions.
