Mechanisms of the hydrometalation (insertion) and stoichiometric hydrogenation reactions of conjugated dienes effected by manganese pentacarbonyl hydride: processes involving the radical pair mechanism
1987
Manganese pentacarbonyl hydride (I) reacts with 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to form predominantly the hydrometalated products of 1,4-addition of H-Mn(CO)/sub 5/ to the dienes, i.e. I + CH/sub 2/=CRCR'=CH/sub 2/ ..-->.. MeCR=CR'CH/sub 2/Mn(CO)/sub 5/ R,R' = H, Me. Monoolefins, the products of stoichiometric 1,2- and 1,4-addition of two hydrogen atoms to the dienes, are also formed as minor products, i.e. 2I + CH/sub 2/=CRCR'=CH/sub 2/ ..-->.. MeCHRCR'=CH/sub 2/ + CH/sub 2/=CRCHR'Me + MeCR=CR'Me + Mn/sub 2/(CO)/sub 10/. Hydrogenation is the predominant process with 1,3-cyclohexadiene. The hydrometalation reactions are first order in both I and diene, and the reaction rates are unaffected by added carbon monoxide (1 atm), while careful NMR monitoring of the early stages of the reactions under appropriate conditions reveals striking CIDNP polarization is for the /sup 1/H resonances of both the products of hydrometalation and of hydrogenation. The experimental evidence thus suggests that the reactions do not proceed via prior coordination of the olefin to the metal followed by conventional migratory insertion and reductive elimination processes but rather via hydrogen atom abstraction from I by the diene to give the corresponding (ally) + Mn(CO)/sub 5/) radical pair.
