Dicobalt carbonyl

The polyalkyne precursors to the hydrocarbon-based unimolecular micelles 179 allowed the testing of chemical modification at specific sites within the interior of a cascade infrastructure. 180 Thus, treatment of the alkynes 153 or 154 with decaborane afforded excellent yields of the 1,2-dicarba-cfoso-dodecaboranes 181 (o-carboranes) or with Co2(CO)8 afforded the desired poly(dicobalt carbonyl) clusters. 182 Details are given in Chapter 8.

Octacarbonyl dicobalt was found to be an effective dediazotation reagent for ethyl diazoacetate. Under ambient conditions, ethoxycarbonylcarbene-bridged dicobalt carbonyl complexes 23 and 24 were isolated from the reaction mixtures in good yields (reactions 8.42 and 8.43).

Cobalt has an odd number of electrons, and does not form a simple carbonyl in oxidation state 0. However, carbonyls of formulae Co2(CO)g, Co4(CO)i2 and CoJCO),6 are known reduction of these by an alkali metal dissolved in liquid ammonia (p. 126) gives the ion [Co(CO)4] ". Both Co2(CO)g and [Co(CO)4]" are important as catalysts for organic syntheses. In the so-called oxo reaction, where an alkene reacts with carbon monoxide and hydrogen, under pressure, to give an aldehyde, dicobalt octacarbonyl is used as catalyst ...

Symmetrical ketones can be prepared in good yields by the reaction of organo-mercuric halides with dicobalt octacarbonyl in THF, or with nickel carbonyl in DMF or certain other solvents. The R group may be aryl or alkyl. However, when R is alkyl, rearrangements may intervene in the C02(CO)g reaction, though the Ni(CO)4 reaction seems to be free from such rearrangements. Divinylic ketones... 

When dicobalt octacarbonyl, [Co(CO)4]2, is the catalyst, the species that actually adds to the double bond is tricarbonylhydrocobalt, HCo(CO)3. Carbonylation, RCo(CO)3- -CO—>RCo(CO)4, takes place, followed by a rearrangement and a reduction of the C—Co bond, similar to steps 4 and 5 of the nickel carbonyl mechanism shown in 15-30. The reducing agent in the reduction step is tetra-carbonylhydrocobalt HCo(CO)4, ° or, under some conditions, H2. When HCo(CO)4 was the agent used to hydroformylate styrene, the observation of CIDNP indicated that the mechanism is different, and involves free radicals. Alcohols can be obtained by allowing the reduction to continue after all the carbon monoxide is...

A combination of Co-mediated amino-carbonylation and a Pauson-Khand reaction was described by Pericas and colleagues [286], with the formation of five new bonds in a single operation. Reaction of l-chloro-2-phenylacetylene 6/4-34 and dicobalt octacarbonyl gave the two cobalt complexes 6/4-36 and 6/4-37 via 6/4-35, which were treated with an amine 6/4-38. The final products of this domino process are azadi- and azatriquinanes 6/4-40 with 6/4-39 as an intermediate, which can also be isolated and separately transformed into 6/4-40 (Scheme 6/4.11). 

A typical example of this is the dicobalt octacarbonyl catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins to yield aldehydes. According to the classical mechanism proposed by Heck and Breslow /29/ (Equations 28-31), the cobalt carbonyl reacts with hydrogen to form hydrido cobalt tetracarbonyl, which is in equilibrium with the coordinatively unsaturated HCo(C0)2. The tricarbonyl coordinates the olefin, and rearranges to form the alkyl cobalt carbonyl. 

The hypothesis that the cobalt carbonyl radicals are the carriers of catalytic activity was disproved by a high pressure photochemistry experiment /32/, in which the Co(CO), radical was prepared under hydroformylation conditions by photolysis of dicobalt octacarbonyl in hydrocarbon solvents. The catalytic reaction was not enhanced by the irradiation, as would be expected if the radicals were the active catalyst. On the contrary, the Co(C0)4 radicals were found to inhibit the hydroformylation. They initiate the decomposition of the real active catalyst, HCo(C0)4, in a radical chain process /32, 33/. 

The synthesis of phthalimidines by dicobalt octacarbonyl-catalyzed carbonylation of Schiff bases was first described by Pritchard78 and the scope of the reaction was evaluated by Murahashi et a/.79 Later Rosenthal et al.80-83 subjected a variety of related compounds to carbonylation, and also achieved a phthalimidine synthesis directly from benzonitrile under the conditions of the oxo process.84 An example illustrating the formation of a phthalimidine is shown in Scheme 49 a comprehensive review of the scope and mechanism of reactions of this type is available.85... 

The dicobalt octacarbonyl-catalyzed transformation of azoarenes into 2-arylindazolin-3-ones by carbonylation has been known for many years157 high pressures of carbon monoxide are required and under more forcing conditions the products are quinazoline-2,4-diones (Scheme 92). Reactions... 

Subtle differences in the behavior of azoarenes toward cobalt carbonyl derivatives are observed in regard to metal-complex formation. Azobenzene is transformed by dicobalt octacarbonyl in processes of orthometallation and carbonyl insertion into 2-phenylindazolin-3-one (see Section IV,D,2). In contrast, cyclopentadienylcobalt dicarbonyl effects N—N bond cleavage, and carbonylation of the isolable complex 88a provides 1 -phenylbenzimid-azolin-2-one (Scheme 106).171... 

A somewhat related process, the cobalt-mediated synthesis of symmetrical benzo-phenones from aryl iodides and dicobalt octacarbonyl, is shown in Scheme 6.49 [100]. Here, dicobalt octacarbonyl is used as a combined Ar-I bond activator and carbon monoxide source. Employing acetonitrile as solvent, a variety of aryl iodides with different steric and electronic properties underwent the carbonylative coupling in excellent yields. Remarkably, in several cases, microwave irradiation for just 6 s was sufficient to achieve full conversion An inert atmosphere, a base or other additives were all unnecessary. No conversion occurred in the absence of heating, regardless of the reaction time. However, equally high yields could be achieved by heating the reaction mixture in an oil bath for 2 min. 

The binary metal carbonyls are named by giving the name of the metal followed by the name carbonyl, with the number of carbonyl groups indicated by the appropriate prefix. For example, Ni(CO)4 is nickel tetracarbonyl, whereas Cr(CO)6 is chromium hexacarbonyl. If more than one metal atom is present, the number is indicated by a prefix. Thus, Co2(CO)8 is dicobalt octacarbonyl, and Fe2(CO)9 has the name diiron nonacarbonyl.

Previous studies on various aliphatic and aromatic alkynes have evidenced that this type of furan-2-ones could also be produced in the presence of the rhodium carbonyl cluster [Rh4(CO)i2] [39-41]. Labeling experiments using D2O allowed the authors to assign the origin of the hydrogen atoms (Scheme 6). Noteworthy, dicobalt octacarbonyl follows a different catalytic... 

When sodium ethoxide is used in place of sodium hydroxide in the carbonylation reaction of benzyl halides with dicobalt octacarbonyl, ethyl esters are produced instead of the acids [15], Esters are also produced directly from iodoalkanes through their reaction with molybdenum hexacarbonyl in the presence of tetra-/i-butylammo-nium fluoride [16]. Di-iodoalkanes produce lactones [16]. The reaction can be made catalytic in the hexacarbonyl by the addition of methyl formate [16]. t-Butyl arylacetic esters are produced in moderate yield (40-60%) under phase-transfer catalytic conditions in the palladium promoted carbonylation reaction with benzyl chlorides [17]. 

Acetylation occurs at the 2-position of allene systems (Scheme 8.14). The intermediate 7t-allyl complex breaks down via the nucleophilic displacement of the cobalt carbonyl group by the hydroxide ion to produce the hydroxyketone (7) [ 11 ]. An alternative oxygen-initiated radical decomposition of the complex cannot, however, be totally precluded. The formation of a second major product, the divinyl ketone (8), probably arises from direct interaction of the dicobalt octacarbonyl with the allene and does not require the basic conditions.
