Title: Mechanistic Pathways for N2O Elimination from trans-R3Sn-O-N=N-O-SnR3 and for Reversible Binding of CO2 to R3Sn-O-SnR3 (R = Ph, Cy)

Abstract

The rate and mechanism of the elimination of N2O from trans-R3Sn-O-N=N-O-SnR3 (R = Ph (1Ph) and R = Cy (1Cy)) to form R3Sn-O-SnR3 (R = Ph (2Ph) and R = Cy (2Cy)) have been studied using both NMR and IR techniques to monitor the reactions in the temperature range of 39–79 °C in C6D6. Activation parameters for this reaction are ΔH = 15.8 ± 2.0 kcal·mol–1 and ΔS = –28.5 ± 5 cal·mol–1·K–1 for 1Ph and ΔH = 22.7 ± 2.5 kcal·mol–1 and ΔS = –12.4 ± 6 cal·mol–1·K–1 for 1Cy. Addition of O2, CO2, N2O, or PPh3 to sealed tube NMR experiments did not alter in a detectable way the rate or product distribution of the reactions. Computational DFT studies of elimination of hyponitrite from trans-Me3Sn-O-N=N-O-SnMe3 (1Me) yield a mechanism involving initial migration of the R3Sn group from O to N passing through a marginally stable intermediate product and subsequent N2O elimination. Reactions of 1Ph with protic acids HX are rapid and lead to formation of R3SnX and trans-H2N2O2. Reaction of 1Ph with the metal radical •Cr(CO)3C5Me5 at low concentrations results in rapid evolution of N2O. At higher •Cr(CO)3C5Me5 concentrations, evolution of CO2 rather than N2O is observed. Additionmore » of 1 atm or less CO2 to benzene or toluene solutions of 2Ph and 2Cy resulted in very rapid reaction to form the corresponding carbonates R3Sn-O-C(=O)-O-SnR3 (R = Ph (3Ph) and R = Cy (3Cy)) at room temperature. Evacuation results in fast loss of bound CO2 and regeneration of 2Ph and 2Cy. Variable temperature data for formation of 3Cy yield ΔHo = –8.7 ± 0.6 kcal·mol–1, ΔSo = –17.1 ± 2.0 cal·mol–1·K–1, and ΔGo298K = –3.6 ± 1.2 kcal·mol–1. Furthermore, DFT studies were performed and provide additional insight into the energetics and mechanisms for the reactions.« less
