Nicholas Carbocations
Experimetal evidence for charge delocalization
onto Co2(CO)6 moiety IR - Increase in carbonyl
stretching frequencies by 40-60 cm-1 relative
neutral complex. d(Co) ? ? (CO) 1H-NMR -
small downfield shift ?- alkyl groups 13C-NMR -
small downfield shift ?- alkyl groups
- resonances of CO ligands show small
shielding effects

Slightly less electrophilic -
dianisylmethylium ion Behave like
- Xanthylium ion
- Ferrocenylmethylium ion

Carbon Enol Derivatives (intermolecular)
  • Reaction occurs through a synclinal transition
    state

Schreiber et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1987, 109,
5749
18
Carbon Chiral enol ethers (intermolecular)
  • Facial selectivity - that expected of a
    noncoordinating electrophile
  • Diastereoslectivity - synclinal transition state
    (syn isomer)
  • Intermediate cations racemize faster than
    intermolecular alkylation
  • Cations react with different rates (kinetic
    resolution)

Schreiber et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1987, 109,
5749
19
Intramolecular Reaction with Enolates
  • Stereoselective
  • (E) - cis-product
  • (Z) - trans product
  • Retention of ee suggests Nicholas Carbocation
  • reacts faster than it racemizes (antarafacial
    migration)
  • cf. Intermolecular addition

Carbon Allyl
  • Diastereoselectivity
  • improves with steric bulk
  • of both alkoxy group and
  • remote propargylic moiety
  • Syn form (benzyloxy and phenyl) most
  • stable diastereomeric Nicholas carbocation
  • Antarafacial migration of olefin ligand
  • allows discrimination of enantio faces

Panek, Org. Lett., 2001, 3, 2439.

Carbon Allyl

Carbon Allyl
Diastereoselectivity explained by the
six-membered chelation transition state for allyl
metal additions to carbonyl compounds -
(E)- allyl boranes give the trans-dioxygenated
product - (Z)- allyl boranes give the
syn-dioxygenated product

Decomplexation of Cobalt
  • Oxidative methods give parent alkyne
  • Ferric nitrate
  • Ceric ammonium nitrte or ceric sulphate
  • Trimethylamine N-oxide
  • N-morpholine N-oxide, often in conjuction with
    1,4-cyclohexandiene
  • Tetrabutylammonium fluoride
  • Sodium methanethiolate
  • Pyridine
  • Dimethylsulfoxide/water
  • Reductive methods give alkenes
  • Lithium in liquid ammonia
  • Hydrogen over rhodium-charcoal catalyst
  • Hydrogenation over Wilkinsons catalyst
  • Tributyltin hydride
  • Tributyltin hydride and NBS used in
    1,4-cyclohexadiene
  • Triethylsilane or triphenylsilane- forms the
    vinylsilane
