Metathesis reactions of tris(adamantylimido)methylrhenium and aldehydes and imines
The tris(imido)methylrhenium compound CH{sub 3}Re(NAd){sub 3} (Ad = 1-adamantyl) was prepared and characterized. It reacts with aromatic aldehydes ArCHO forming the imines ArCH{double{underscore}bond} NAd. The reaction occurs in three stages, during which CH{sub 3}Re(NAd){sub 2}O and CH{sub 3}Re(NAd)O{sub 2} could be detected. In the third and slowest stage CH{sub 3}ReO{sub 3} (MTO) was formed, eventually in quantitative yield. The second-order rate constant for PhCHO in C{sub 6}D{sub 6} at 298 K is 1.4 x 10{sup {minus}4} L/mol s. Electron-donating substituents at the para-position of ArCHO cause a significant diminution in rate. Treated by the Hammett equation, the reaction constant is {rho} = +0.90. The reactions between CH{sub 3}Re(NAd){sub 3} and linear aliphatic aldehydes occur much faster than do reactions of nonlinear aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes, indicating an important steric effect. Ketones do not react. The imidorhenium complex evidently undergoes a metathesis reaction with the aldehyde. Analogously, CH{sub 3}Re(NAd){sub 3} reacts with imines. Imine-imine metathesis is catalyzed by MTO homogeneously and by MTO supported on Nb{sub 2}O{sub 5}.
