The synthetically most valuable intermediate in heterofullerene chemistry so far has been the aza[60]fulleronium ion C59N (28). It can be generated in situ by the thermally induced homolytic cleavage of 2 and subsequent oxidation, for example, with O2 or chloranil [20-24]. The reaction intermediate 28 can subsequently be trapped with various nucleophiles such as electron-rich aromatics, enolizable carbonyl compounds, alkenes and alcohols to form functionalized heterofullerenes 29 (Scheme 12.8). Treatment of 2 with electron-rich aromatics as nucleophilic reagent NuH in the presence of air and excess of p-TsOH leads to arylated aza[60]fullerene derivatives 30 in yields up to 90% (Scheme 12.9). A large variety of arylated derivatives 30 have been synthesized, including those containing cor-annulene, coronene and pyrene addends [20, 22-25]. 

Acyl substituents at the 3- and/or 4-positions result in decreased hydrolytic stability compared with the alkyl and aryl derivatives described above. Despite this constraint most of the usual reactions of the carbonyl group are possible. Aldehydes <9ILA1211> and ketones are oxidized to the carboxylic acid, borohydride reduction affords the expected alcohols, and epoxides are formed on reaction with diazomethane. Oximes and arylhydrazones are formed with hydroxylamine and arylhydrazines, and the products may subsequently undergo monocyclic rearrangement involving the oxadiazole to give the corresponding isomeric furazans and 1,2,3-triazoles (Section 4.05.5.1.4). 

We have recently observed that anionic alkyl and aryl derivatives of the group 6B metal carbonyls undergo insertion reactions with carbon dioxide to afford the corresponding carboxylates, e.g., as depicted in Eq. (25) (44, 72). An ORTEP representation of one such product of C02... 

There are interesting transition metal-catalyzed-reactions that lead to aryl amides. The use of POCI3 and DMF, with a palladium catalyst, converts aryl iodides to benzamides. A palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl hahdes and for-mamide leads to benzamide derivatives. Carbonylation is another method that generates amides. When an aryl iodide was treated with a secondary amine and Mo(CO)e, in the presence of 3 equivalents of DBU, 10% Pd(OAc)2, with micro-wave irradiation at 100°C, the corresponding benzamide was obtained. 

A relatively small number of carbon monoxide insertion reactions are known for alkyl or aryl derivatives of nickel. The oxidative addition of benzoyl chloride to Ni(PPh3)4 at 0°C was reported to give the corresponding phenyl derivative of nickel(Il) [reaction (c)], thus implying that the reverse of the carbonyl insertion from an unstable... 

Diaryliodonium salts react more or less easily with carbonyl compounds to afford the C-arylated derivatives. Depending upon the nature of the substrate, different experimental conditions have been used. These reactions are generally performed in alcoholic solvents (r-BuOH, r-AmOH.) or in DMF, at temperatures ranging from low (- 78°C) to reflux of the solvent. Arylation of simple ketones has been obtained either by reaction of the ketone enolates with an appropriate diaryliodonium salt, i or by reaction of the ketone enol silyl ether with diaryliodonium fluoride. Phenylation of the potassium enolate of acetone (13) with diphenyliodonium bromide (14) afforded a modest yield of the monophenylation product, but the stimulation with solvated electrons led to overreaction due to the subsequent reaction of the iodobenzene, a good SrnI arylating agent under these conditions. 9... 

Oxatriazines. (1) Reaction of benzonitrile oxides with hydrazones (Equation 16) - this method gives 3-aryl derivatives (2) reaction of benzonitrile oxides with hydrazine carboxylates and cyclization (Scheme 33) (3) cyclic carbonylation of l,4-disubstituted-4-hydroxy-semicarbazides with (thio)phosgene (Scheme 41) - this method gives 3,6-dione-type derivatives. Methods (1) and (3) both appear quite general and high yielding, with precursors readily available. 

Palladium-catalyzed a-arylation of carbonyl derivatives and its applications in the synthesis of natural products 05CJO282. 

A variety of bases have been used in the palladium-catalyzed a-arylation of carbonyl derivatives. The pKa of the carbonyl moiety determines the choice of the base. The preferred bases for the a-arylation with ester derivatives are either NaHMDS (r-butyl propionate) or LiHMDS (f-butyl acetate) as KHMDS was reported to lead to lower yield because of competing hydrodehalo-genation. More sensitive substrates such as a-imino esters, malonates, or cyanoesters required the use of a milder base, as decomposition was observed with HMDS bases. 

In this article the term organometallic compound includes alkyl and aryl derivatives of the rare earths—the transition metals of group III, scandium, yttrium, lanthanum and the lanthanides cerium to liitetium with covalent metal-to-carbon a-bonds, as well as the so-called 77-complexes with more than monohapto metal-to-carbon bonds, for example cyclopentadienyl and olefin complexes, metal acetylides, but not carbonyls, cyanides and isocyanide complexes. Derivatives of scandium, yttrium and lanthanum are included and discussed together with the compounds of the lanthanides, because of many similarities in the synthesis and the chemistry of these organometallic derivatives of the rare earths. 

In our work on Cp2TiR compounds vide supra) we noticed that hydrogen abstraction from the cyclopentadienyl ligands is the exclusive route followed in thermal decomposition. It was expected that introduction of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl instead of cyclopentadienyl ligands would improve the thermal stability of the alkyl and aryl derivatives and moreover, by steric and electronic induction, would modify the reactions with unsaturated substrates, such that they could be studied under moderate reaction conditions. For these reasons we started to explore CpJTiR chemistry a few years ago. Some of the preliminary results on synthesis and carbonylation of Cp TiCl have been published [27]. 2... 

Many carbonyl anions are strong nucleophiles. Some reactions of Mn(CO)7 illustrate this (Fig. 5.15). They lead to various alkyl and aryl derivatives as well as complexes in which Mn is bonded to Main Group and transition elements.
