AI Article Synopsis
- The study introduces an iron-based catalyst, Cp*Fe(1,2-RPCHX), that effectively directs the hydrostannation of alkynes, facilitating either Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov additions through the manipulation of metal-heteroatom (Fe-X) bonds.
- By sequentially adding BuSnH to the iron-amido catalyst, a reactive Fe(IV)-H species is generated, promoting syn-addition and the formation of branched α-vinylstannanes.
- The iron-aryloxide catalyst activates C(sp)-H bonds in alkynes, producing an iron(II) vinylidene intermediate that leads to gem-addition for
Article Abstract
We report an iron system, Cp*Fe(1,2-RPCHX), which controls the Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov hydrostannation of alkynes by tuning the ionic metal-heteroatom bonds (Fe-X) reactivity. The sequential addition of BuSnH to the iron-amido catalyst (, X = HN, R = Ph) affords a distannyl Fe(IV)-H species responsible for syn-addition of the Sn-H bond across the C≡C bond to produce branched α-vinylstannanes. Activation of the C(sp)-H bond of alkynes by an iron-aryloxide catalyst (, X = O, R = Cy) affords an iron(II) vinylidene intermediate, allowing for gem-addition of the Sn-H to the terminal-carbon producing β-vinylstannanes. These catalytic reactions exhibit excellent regioselectivity and broad functional group compatibility and enable the large-scale synthesis of diverse vinylstannanes. Many new reactions have been established based on such a synthetic Fe-X platform to demonstrate that the initial step of the catalysis is conveniently controlled by the activation of either the tin hydride or the alkyne substrate.
