Prototropic and metallotropic migration of isolobal fragments on indol rings. Theoretical study and NBO analysis
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Molecular structures, energies, NBO analysis and sigmatropic behaviour of 1-Indenyl(dihydro)borane (1) and 1-Indenyl-threecarbonylcobalt(I) (2) were investigated using DFT and ab initio molecular orbital methods. In these compounds BH2 and Co(CO)3 fragments areisolobal. The Results of calculations using B3LYP, HF and MP2methods [Basis set 6-311+G**] showed that -BH2 and -Co(CO)3 had similar behaviour in sigmatropic shifts. Prototropic shifts in compounds 1 and 2 have similar mechanisms too. Results showed that metallotrotropic shift is faster than Prototrpic shift in compounds 1 and 2. The activation energies (Ea) of Prototropic shift in compounds 1 and 2 are 18.83 and 17.38 kcal.mol-1. These energies are higher than -BH2 shifts in compound 1 (10.11 kcal.mol-1) or migration of -Co(CO)3 fragment in compound 2 (12.39 kcal.mol-1). Lower amount of activation energy in borotropic shift and cobalt`s fragment shift show that rotation of boron and cobalt on the indol ring can happen in the ambient temperature. Calculation results revealed that migration of proton and Co(CO)3 was carried out via suprafacial[1,2]-sigmatropic mechanism while -BH2 shift took place via antrafacial [1,3]-rearangment.Â
