Metal-Free and Alkali-Metal-Catalyzed Synthesis of Isoureas from Alcohols and Carbodiimides
Imberdis, Arnaud,Lefèvre, Guillaume,Thuéry, Pierre,Cantat, Thibault
, p. 3084 - 3088 (2018)
The first addition of alcohols to carbodiimides catalyzed by transition-metal-free compounds employs 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) and its alkali metal salts. Isoureas are obtained in short reaction times and high yields when TBDK is used as the catalyst. Control of the coordination sphere of potassium with exogenous chelating ligands, in combination with mechanistic DFT calculations, demonstrated the role and positive influence of the alkali-metal cation on the kinetics.
Actinide complexes possessing six-membered N-heterocyclic iminato moieties: Synthesis and reactivity
Ghatak, Tapas,Fridman, Natalia,Eisen, Moris S.
, p. 1296 - 1302 (2017/05/29)
A novel class of ligand systems possessing a sixmembered N-heterocyclic iminato [perimidin-2-iminato (PrRN, where R = isopropyl, cycloheptyl)] moiety is introduced. The complexation of these ligands with early actinides (An = Th and U) results in powerful catalysts [(PrRN)An(N{SiMe3)2}3] (3-6) for exigent insertion of alcohols into carbodiimides to produce the corresponding isoureas in short reaction times with excellent yields. Experimental, thermodynamic, and kinetic data as well as the results of stoichiometric reactions provide cumulative evidence that supports a plausible mechanism for the reaction.
