Mechanistic insights into the reactions of hydride transfer versus hydrogen atom transfer by a trans-dioxoruthenium(vi) complex

초록/요약

A mononuclear high-valent trans-dioxoruthenium(vi) complex, trans-[RuVI(TMC)(O)<inf>2</inf>]2+ (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), was synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. The reactivity of the trans-[RuVI(TMC)(O)<inf>2</inf>]2+ complex was investigated in hydride transfer and hydrogen atom transfer reactions. The mechanism of hydride transfer from dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) analogues to trans-[RuVI(TMC)(O)<inf>2</inf>]2+, which proceeds via a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), followed by a rapid electron transfer (ET), has been proposed by the observation of a good linear correlation between the log rate constants of trans-[RuVI(TMC)(O)<inf>2</inf>]2+ and p-chloranil (Cl<inf>4</inf>Q) and a large kinetic isotope effect (KIE) value of 13(1). In the case of the oxidation of alkyl hydrocarbons by the trans-[RuVI(TMC)(O)<inf>2</inf>]2+ complex, the second-order rate constants were dependent on the C-H bond dissociation energy (BDE) of the substrates, and a large KIE value of 26(2) was obtained in the oxidation of xanthene and deuterated xanthene-d<inf>2</inf> by the trans-[RuVI(TMC)(O)<inf>2</inf>]2+ complex, indicating that the C-H bond activation of alkyl hydrocarbons proceeds via an H-atom abstraction in the rate-determining step. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015.
