Résumé

A good catch: N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) form stable adducts with nitrous oxide (N2O) under mild reaction conditions. The adducts display unique reactivity as evidenced by an alkylation reaction which leads to a rupture of the NN bond.

Persistent carbene

A persistent carbene (also known as stable carbene) is a type of carbene demonstrating particular stability. The best-known examples and by far largest subgroup are the N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) (sometimes called Arduengo carbenes), for example diaminocarbenes with the general formula (R2N)2C:, where the four R moieties are typically alkyl and aryl groups. The groups can be linked to give heterocyclic carbenes, such as those derived from imidazole, imidazoline, thiazole or triazole.

Transition metal carbene complex

A transition metal carbene complex is an organometallic compound featuring a divalent organic ligand. The divalent organic ligand coordinated to the metal center is called a carbene. Carbene complexes for almost all transition metals have been reported. Many methods for synthesizing them and reactions utilizing them have been reported. The term carbene ligand is a formalism since many are not derived from carbenes and almost none exhibit the reactivity characteristic of carbenes.

Alkylation

L'alkylation est une réaction chimique constituée du transfert d'un groupement alkyle d'une molécule organique à une autre. Elle conduit donc à l'augmentation du nombre d'atomes de carbone d'un composé organique. Au cours d'un procédé classique de raffinage du pétrole, les réactions d'alkylation combinent des oléfines de faible masse moléculaire (mélange de propylène et de butylène) avec de l'isobutane en présence d'un catalyseur, généralement l'acide sulfurique ou l'acide fluorhydrique.

Isolation, Characterisation and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Diazoolefins

Paul Varava

Examples for applications of nitrous oxide in organic synthesis remain rare up until today. First mayor contributions of our group were published in 2012, when nitrous oxide was successfully captured by N-heterocyclic carbenes. Subsequent studies investiga ...

Synthetic chemistry with nitrous oxide and triazenes

Iris Roswitha Landman

Nitrous oxide (N2O) has gained much interest because of its physiological effects ("laughing gas") and its negative environmental impact ("greenhouse gas", "ozone-depleting substance"): It has a lifetime of more than 100 years in the atmosphere. Its persis ...

SET processes in Lewis acid–base reactions: the tritylation of N-heterocyclic carbenes

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Cristian Pezzato, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Zhaowen Dong

Reactions between N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the trityl cation, [Ph3C]+, give covalent adducts of type [NHC–CPh3]+ and/or [NHC–C6H5–CPh2]+. EPR spectroscopy, UV-Vis analyses, and trapping experiments imply that adduct formation involves carbene rad ...
