1 elected topics in metal- free catalysis: Carbenes (and Lewis Base) Catalysis Mar$n mith ffice: CL 1 st floor Telephone: (2) mar$n.smith@chem.ox.ac.uk

2 ! elected topics Enamine Iminium Lewis/ Brønsted Base Brønsted Acid E u: P All of these topics are of direct relevance to contemporary synthe7c chemistry This is a very selec7ve treatment of topics that are not a focus of most undergraduate courses

3 ! Course outline and contents 1. General considera7ons: types of reac$on, scope and focus of this (truncated) course 2. - heterocyclic carbenes: This course will focus on: (i) background and history of carbene- mediated reac$ons (ii) applica$on in catalysis (both asymmetric and racemic examples) This is a very selec7ve treatment of what is a large and complex area: the aim is to focus on contemporary developments in (mostly) cataly7c reac7ons and understand how and why these processes are effec7ve

4 ! - eterocyclic Carbenes! What is a carbene? A neutral molecule containing a divalent carbon atom with six electrons in its valence shell! Two possible ground- state electronic structures:: inglet Carbene Triplet Carbene C C Filled sp 2 hybridised orbital Empty p-orbital ucleophilic and electrophilic (ambiphilic) Most important ground state for catalysis Two singly occupied orbitals eact as diradicals More reactive, but less stable f less direct relevance to synthetic chemistry tability and reac7vity of carbenes depends on electronic and steric factors

5 ! Carbene stabiliza$on! Isola7on and prepara7on of a free carbene Use bulky groups to stabilize carbene K t Bu TF 96% table solid (m.p. 240 C) in absence of 2 and 2!
