Ring compounds organometallics

Redox reactions are considered as being able to provide versatile and efficient methods for bringing about ring transformations. Transition metal complexes in particular are able to induce or catalyze oxidative or reductive transformations of small ring compounds. Organometallics, such as metal-lacycles derived by the insertion of metal atoms into rings, are involved as key intermediates in many cases, allowing subsequent functionalization or carbon-carbon bond formation.

In the articles on metathesis reactions, ruthenium compounds of organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds are used for what are generally referred to as Hoveyda-Grubbs first-generation 12 and second-generation 1.3 catalysts (Fig. 1.1) [68, 69]. 

The second item for discussion concerns organometallic intramolecular-coordination compounds. These compounds have two types of bonds a -coordination bond in which the intramolecular-coordination bond is an unsaturated -coordination bond and a o-coordination bond formed by lone electron pair of a hetero atom to a metal atom. The former compounds are -coordination compounds, and the latter are o-coordination compounds. In these two types of compounds, an overwhelming majority of the latter organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds are synthesized by cyclometalation reactions, because the latter products are very easily prepared regioselectively. The author has compiled many articles and published many reviews [41-55, 91, 96-99] and three monographs [56, 100, 101] concerning them since 1972. 

The third item concerns the characteristics of cyclometalation reactions with respect to organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds. These reactions show very high reactivities, and the compounds in question are extremely easily synthesized. To date, 69 kinds of metal atoms and many substrates have been studied. 

The sixth item concerns applications for both cyclometalation reactions and their products, which are organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds. The applications for cyclometalation reactions are syntheses of organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds, and these products and their reaction intermediates are used to obtain their derivatives. Pincer products are also utilized for synthesis of their derivatives. 

Applications other than synthetic applications of organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds include catalysts, organic electronic devices, pharmaceuticals, dye-sensitized solar cells, carbon dioxide utilizations,... 

In 2010, the author published a report entitled Carbonyl Group-containing Organometallic Intramolecular-coordination Five-membered Ring Compounds [98], and in 2011, he published another report entitled Agostic Bonds in Cyclometalation clarifying the reaction mechanism of cyclometalation reactions [99].

Abstract One of the characteristics of cyclometalation reactions for the production of organometallic intramolecular-coordination tive-membered ring compounds is high reaction rates. Many reactions consequently proceed under mild reaction conditions, and their reaction products are very easily isolated from the reaction mixtures, since flve-membered rings are generally stable. Many kinds of metal elements, a total of 69 kinds of both transition metal and main group metal compounds, are utilized for these reactions. Many substrates are also used. 

Cyclometalation reactions for the synthesis of organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds proceed very promptly, because hve-membered ring compounds are more stable as compared with other ring compounds, such as four- and six-membered ring compounds. The cyclometalation reactions generally proceed regioselectively as a result. 

As for organometallic intramolecnlar-coordinalion five-membered ring compounds used for the production of organic electronic devices, their snbstrates and their ancillary ligands are also shown in Figs. 9.2 and 9.3, respectively.
